Review of Homeology

My favorite thing about the Homeology line is that they are not full of chemicals. With two cats around the house, they get into everything and lick the strangest things, so I like the fact that there are no poisons on the floors or counters that they lick. I love the fact that these cleaners smell great, due to the aromatherapy scents in them, so I do not have to open the windows and air my place out after cleaning.

Many demonstrators have posted a variety of ways to use these products beyond their original use, but because that is not their design, I will not advocate these, use at your own risk. I know for myself, when my cats are sick and leave presents on the carpet, I clean it up and then spray the All Purpose cleaner on it. I let it set for a few minutes and then wipe it up, and I don’t end up with a stain.

New Feature - Scents

To go with the posts on Colour, I am going to be posting about Scents.  I will try to post scents that match the color, but this is easier said than done.

Peppermint Essential Oil

It serves as an energizer and can be used to treat muscle aches, fatigue, pain, gas, sore throat, digestive problems, stomach ulcers and nausea. The oil is extracted from leaves of peppermint plant and has a minty scent.

How to use: Inhalation, from the bottle, or put a couple of drops on a cotton ball in the car to keep you alert; in the bath, 2-3 drops (no more due to skin irritation). Peppermint blends well with lavender and eucalyptus.

Cautions: Avoid during pregnancy, especially the first 3 months. Do not use with other homeopathic medicines.

New Feature - Green

Colours play a significant part in our lives, whether it is decorating, what to wear, or even to influence our feelings.  So I am starting a new feature on here, colours and how to use them, information, and just whatever hits my fancy.

In Honour of this time of year, the first colour to be featured is Green!

What does Green Symbolize?

Life and renewal – it reminds of us of nature, growth, renewal, health and the environment. 

Green is restful and calming.  Time moves faster in a green room.

Green can be both warming and cooling.  It can denote balance, harmony and stability.  If you are looking for a springtime feel, use several shades together.

Green is self-respect and well being, as well as balance. 

If unsure of a colour choice, green is a good safe option.

Green symbolizes money.
