Well, I love to have a good read of books if they get me hooked on the first page.
I’ve been following a lady on Instagram, Nancy Birtwhistle, who has been sharing reels of how she uses natural products to clean her home, clothes and more! She is an extraordinary lady and has even been on the TV showing us her tips.
So earlier this month, I went out and bought her book, Clean & Green, and was instantly hooked! The tips in there are fantastic and I needed to get myself some products to make these brilliant cleaning products.
So once all the products had arrived, I got on with making my very own eco-friendly cleaning detergents.
I was so overwhelmed with how good the bathroom looked once I’d cleaned it that I had to make myself the fabric conditioner (as everyone loves fresh smelling clothes!) It smelled good but I wasn’t convinced it was going to make my clothes smell nice, until I tried it. Oh my goodness my clothes smelled lovely and since then, I’ve not used the ones you get in the supermarket. Job done!
Then I decided that I wanted to see more tips from Nancy, so I went out and bought myself her next book, Green Living made easy!
Still impressed with everything written within and looking for ways to do things so much greener in and out of the house, I showed them to my 15 year old son, who is now also hooked and for the first time in his life looks forward to doing the cleaning!
Once we have Christmas and New Year out of the way and we all get back to normal again, I will try some of the recipes from the book.
Now, if you’ve wanted to be a little greener and haven’t really got a clue of where to start. Go out and buy these books, they will change your life for the better and save you money too!
All the best for the new year folks, happy reading 📚
