GREEN CLEAN: Washing fruits and veggies


Have you ever noticed that some of the organic produce you buy, comes with special guests? There's a few cobwebs in your kale, a snail hanging off of your broccoli and a crab like creature on your organic apple (LOL)! Sometimes water is just not enough to ensure that your produce is free of dirt and insects before you consume it. You can purchase a solution of veggie cleaner from the health food store, but here's a more simple and cost effective way to clean your produce:





  • Soak and wash your produce in apple cider vinegar and water




  • Soak and wash your produce in organic lemon juice



Both apple cider vinegar and lemon juice have the extra acidity needed to wash away dirt, residue and insect parts from your produce. You can use them separately or mix them together as a solution for both organic and conventional produce.

GREEN REVIEW: Taiwo Soaps 2-1 Conditioner






Every now and then we break the routine of using our tried and true bath/body and beauty products. I love to incorporate new products into my daily beauty regimen! This post will be the start of my "Green Review", my reviews of green products that I feel you may enjoy! Yetunde of Taiwo Soaps, a natural body products company, sent me one of her scrumptious products. And I've been using it with much glee! Taiwo Soaps 2 - in - 1 Silky Body Wash and Conditioning Shampoo (enriched with Cocoa & Shea Butters) is a light and refreshing, liquid soap that doesn't leave any residue on your skin. I love the Pear Glace fragrance and you don't need to use alot of the soap in the 4oz bottle I received, to work up a lather and get clean.
The ingredients for this fragrant body treat are:
  • distilled water
  • saponified coconut and corn oil
  • cocoa butter
  • shea butter
  • and borax ( a natural mineral)

The soap itself is a light golden color and the bottle is recyclable which I love! What more can I say!

Visit Taiwo Soaps to find out more about the natural body products they offer, and tell Yetunde I recommended it!
