The Farmhouse Collection

If there is a heaven I would imagine my clean laundry would smell like The Farmhouse Collection from Sweet Grass Farm! This is by far the BEST detergent and softener I have ever used. Previously to The Farmhouse Collection I was using non-hypoallergenic detergents since I have sensitive skin and despise the smell of traditional detergents. So you have no idea how happy I am now that I found a detergent that works well for sensitive skin types and smells so yummy!

Sweet Grass Farm, a New Hampshire manufacturer of natural soap and herbal products, introduces a new natural line of body and homecare products…The Farmhouse Collection. From a laundry detergent to a furniture wax, the Farmhouse collection will cater to all of your homecare needs. Available in scents of Lavender, Fresh White Lilac, Lemon Verbena and NEW Herb Blossom! Sweet Grass Farm products are made in the USA and NEVER tested on animals.

Farmhouse Laundry Soap – this fragranced laundry detergent is a low sudsing, biodegradable powder that effectively cleans and brightens white and colored clothing. Made with pure essential oils, this old fashioned formula contains natural, gentle detergents and is effective for those with sensitivities to harsh chemical ingredients. Available in two sizes: 4 pound paper sack is good for 58 washes; 8 pound paper sack is good for 105 washes.

Farmhouse Laundry Sachets (pack of 3) – these sachets are designed for the dryer and will leave clothes smelling fresh. Hand-packaged in country drawstring muslin bags, each sachet is good for 5 trips in the dryer. The sachets can also be used as linen, drawer and closet fresheners.

Farmhouse Fabric Softener – this all natural plant based formula is known to soften and brighten fabrics; it provides a non-chemical means of softening clothes. Fragranced with pure essential oils, the Farmhouse Fabric Softener conditions water and will leave dark, whites, and heavy fabrics lightly scented. Available in a 1 liter biodegradable bottle, this Fabric Softener is good for 32 loads.

Jammiegirl

After a long day at work wearing office attire and heels I look forward to coming home and wearing something comfy. However, I don't like to sacrifice style for comfort. That's why I am totally smitten with Jammiegirl. Check out my sweet, flirty, and comfy Munki Girlie Show Silk Tank Chemise. The chemise is a silk-cotton blend with flirty dancing girls print from the past.

Jammiegirl was started by Jessica Leonardis, a busy wife and mother of three(and a furry friend, Ginger), who loves jammies. Jessica formed Jammiegirl to offer busy women, with limited time to shop in stores, a boutique-style shopping experience online. Items are reasonably priced sylish, fun to wear and most importantly, they are comfortable to sleep in!

Jammiegirl is a great gift. With so many styles and lines to choose from there is a perfect fit for every woman in your life (there is even an eco-friendly line). Also, you will love the bonus gift, a canvas jammiegirl bag free with your purchase ( I actually used my bag at the farmers market this week). Help support Jessica and stylish jammies everywhere by checking out jammiegirl here and sharing this site with friends and family.

Nature's Gate

FINALLY, I found a gentle shampoo & conditioner for my sensitive and dry scalp. For months I have been trying different products and nothing has seemed to work. Most of the products I tried worked to stop the dryness to my scalp but were so damaging to my hair. I was starting to get really depressed but low and behold I found Nature’s Gate!

The line features Certified Organic essences, fresh from the field of a local family owned Organic farm in Northern California.

The farm’s water source is derived from the winter rains and snow packs of the Sierra Nevada’s.

Mix it up with with Preserve Mixing Bowls!

I am in love with my playful mixing bowls from Preserve. I have been searching for mixing bowls that are easy to handle, include a spout and look pretty. I couldn't believe my luck when I found Preserve. Not only am I satisfied with their mixing bowls, I am so happy to shop and recommend them because I support their company philosophies! What a truly amazing company they are.

Made in USA from 100% recycled materials including food storage containers. Their plastic products are made from #5 polypropylene plastic collected from individuals via their Gimme 5 program and from companies like Stonyfield Farm®. They take plastic, sort it, clean it, test it, recycle it, and turn it into new Preserve products.

As the companies grow, their core principles remain the same
Preserve products are made from 100% recycled plastics and 100% post-consumer paper. By using recycled materials, they save energy, preserve natural resources and create an incentive for communities to recycle.
All of their plastic products are recyclable, either through our postage-paid labels and mailers (toothbrushes and razor handles) or at the curb in communities that recycle #5 plastic.
All products are made in the USA, so that they can ship them shorter distances, using less fuel and limiting our environmental footprint.
They don't test on animals. Period.
Preserve products are made to last—and to look good doing it.
The Preserve team is made up of 17 people and a host of talented interns who bike, walk, train, and drive (some in bio-diesel fueled cars) to our office outside of Boston intent on bringing Preserve and our mission into more homes everyday.
