Arm & Hammer Essentials Disinfecting Wipes Review

March 10, 2021 Leave a Comment

The only thing I can say about last year is WOW…

I spent many days feeling like I have to clean or wipe down anything any of my loved ones may touch. Like everyone else, I bought any kind of disinfecting wipes I could find.

I hated most of the wipes due to how harsh they were on my hands or because of the odor!

I’ve been looking for the perfect wipe that would not only smell good, but the texture of the wipe would last long enough to wipe down the items I was needing to disinfect.

By sheer luck, I found the Arm & Hammer Essentials Disinfecting Wipes, and I am hooked! The different scents smell amazing without being too strong for my sensitive nose.

The different scents smell amazing without being too strong for my sensitive nose. They come in  Lemon Orchard & Renewing Rain scents and I’m not going to lie, I just want to use them everywhere so I can breathe in the freshness while feeling confident I’m ridding my home and car of viruses and bacteria.

The next thing I fell in love with about the Arm & Hammer Essentials Disinfecting Wipes, was the texture, it is almost as if you are using a thin washcloth. They not only don’t tear up but they absorb amazingly! I can use them to wipe several things off before I remember I need to change it out.

 

I have to mention one more thing and that’s the shape of the container. It’s square. If you’ve ever tried to stuff round objects into a square-shaped cabinet I’m sure you can understand my excitement of the shape. I can fit more in my cabinet now and it even makes dispensing the wipes so much easier! The first one is already ready for you to begin your own disinfecting.

With the Covid vaccines coming out, I am sure people will be less worried about keeping up with a deep clean on a continuing basis but I’m going to stick to the habit I have formed of wanting to wipe everything down with the Arm & Hammer Essentials Disinfectant Wipes.

Have you tried these new wipes?

5 Tips While Sheltering In Place

May 7, 2020 Leave a Comment

When I realized back in March we would have to shelter in place due to a virus I was completely devastated. I just started a new job that would require me to be in public and attend events.  This of course has been put on hold until further notice.

I decided to look on the positive side of this and have lived by these tips for the last couple months.

1) Find something everyday to be thankful for. I look back on the day and think about things that I am grateful for. Most of the time it is something as simple as the safety of my family.

2) Time with the family. My husband and I have actually started having movie nights and after being married for 20 years, I feel have talked more the last two months then ever before.

3) Realizing what is important in life. Prior to this, we spent the last twenty years working toward a future and missing out on the now. We have realized the now is just as important as planning for the future.

4) Keep accurate information, there is so much negative news right now we found a great source for accurate information at https://shelterinplacetips.com/

5) Working from home. I have spent a lot of time cleaning clutter and selling items we don’t use. My house not only looks amazing but I accomplished more than I have in years.

Regardless what you do during this time, remember the most important thing is it won’t last forever. We are going to be back soon. I will always cherish this extra time I have had with my family.

How are you spending this time? Do you have any tips to share on how to keep a positive attitude during this shelter in place? I would love to hear your thoughts.

Lockdown Lunacy: Your Greatest Assets In Avoiding Stress and Anxiety During the Pandemic

April 16, 2020 Leave a Comment

Feeling anxious? Stressed? Irritable? Moody? First of all, don’t beat yourself up about it. It’s okay not to feel okay. Especially when we’re all in the throes of an international pandemic. We’ve been cooped up indoors for weeks now. We’ve been diligently practicing our social distancing, straining to keep the kids where they should be while under lock down and coping with the learning curve (and reduced paycheck) that comes with working from home. Under the circumstances, you’re doing an incredible job of keeping it together!

But that doesn’t mean you don’t need and deserve a helping hand when it comes to reducing stress and easing your anxiety. Your home can either be your greatest ally or your greatest enemy when it comes to avoiding stress and anxiety. Here we’ll look at some items around the home which can do you a world of good…

 

Your windows

 

Natural light is both the ultimate office perk and the perfect antidote to cabin fever. So make sure you get plenty coming into your home. Great quality windows are a long term investment, so use a reputable company like Plymouth Window Installation if you plan to replace yours. The right windows can help you to make the most of your natural light,are easy to clean, keep you warm in winter and cool in summer, saving you money on heating and AC. What’s more conducive to a relaxed mind than knowing you’re saving money? 

 

What’s more, your window can give you a great view of…

 

Your garden

 

Who could have known that we’d come to view our time spent outdoors as such a luxury? Nonetheless, the time we spend in the garden can be a great antidote to the stresses and strains of your workplace and your home becoming the same location. 

 

Gardening, fresh air and spending time amidst your flowers and plants can all be a fantastic boost to your mental health and allow the stress of the day to melt away. 

 

Your phone

 

Like your home, your phone can either be your greatest ally or your greatest enemy. If you use your phone to trawl through Facebook and Twitter you’ll likely be struck with a feeling of FOMO as everyone seems to be navigating the lock down better than you… or simply watching people being hateful to one another. However, when you use your phone to call or video chat with your friends you can enjoy an endorphin hit that helps your stress simply drift away. Nothing eases anxiety better than seeing a familiar face. 

 

Your pantry

 

It’s not just the plants in your garden that can be a huge boon for your psychological well being. The food you eat can also help you to reduce stress and anxiety. We’re not talking about the guilty comfort foods you enjoy over the weekends. We’re talking about all the wholefoods and plant based foods which can gradually alter your brain chemistry and stabilize your mood. According to recent studies, plant based diets are directly linked to lower levels of stress, depression and anxiety. 

 

Your pets

 

Finally, we cannot underestimate the importance of pet therapy throughout the lock down. Spending time with your furred and feathered friends can help ease stress, make you smile and boost your mood throughout the day.
