The Perfect Cleaning Tool



Being on social media has it's benefits. Like staying in touch with friends, posting insanely cute pictures of the kids and seeing what companies are new and upcoming in the world. I had heard some good things about Norwex from a few of my friends the past few years. But, to be honest "clean" cleaning was never high on my list of things to worry about. I like to clean and sometimes I like the smell of bleach in the house! A friend from college, Megan contacted me asking me to do an honest review of some Norwex products since she had recently teamed up with the company. I thought it would be a good opportunity to try it out and share it with my readers! And bonus, Megan is sponsoring a giveaway at the bottom of this post, you will want to enter, trust me! 



After spending some time reading about their products on norwex.com, it was clear that I should have been caring about the cleaning solutions I was bringing into my home. According to norwex.com;
  • In the last 50 years, the global production and use of manufactured chemicals has increased substantially. 
  • More than 80,000 new chemicals have been created.
  • Indoor air pollution is one of the top five highest-ranking environmental health problems in America.
  • Most of the chemicals that people are exposed to every day have never been assessed for their impact on human health.
Norwex is changing how we think about cleaning products and how we use them. According to norwex.com, "With Norwex Microfiber System, you will not breathe, touch or ingest chemicals – you simply create a cleaner, healthier indoor environment." It also is a money saving since the average household spends between $600-$800 a year on cleaning supplies.

This all makes sense to me. What really interests me was the fact that I could be completely solution free. Being military means we move often. Every time we move, we have to throw out all cleaning solutions and anything that is not allowed to be packed. Which means huge bills when we arrive at the new location, barbecue we have to go out and purchase everything again. How genius to be able to throw the Window Cloth, the Dusting Mitt and EnviroCloth in a box and go! 

Megan sent me the Household Package which includes the Window ClothEnviroCloth,  and the Dusting Mitt. I knew I would love the dusting mitt, because we live in the dustiest place ever, but I was pleasantly surprised by everything in the package. The window cloth was the perfect addition to my house. When cleaning windows I go through so many paper towels and Windex, just to clean one of my huge windows. It was so nice to be able to use just the window cloth while cleaning. It was the perfect size and when one area got dirty, I just had to fold it and use another area. Luke also loved using it, and since it is chemical free I felt completely safe with him helping me to clean. You can also use all of your old cleaning bottles as water bottles, so you are recycling too!



The EnviroCloth was my best friend in the kitchen. I am picky about my granite cleaner, but this cleaned it right up! It also gave it that nice granite shine that I love. Have I mentioned how much I hate cleaning my stainless steel appliances? Well a bit of water and the EnviroCloth and they look brand new, without having to use the smelly wipes that I had been using. The true test was my microwave. How do those things get so dirty? The EnviroCloth wiped everything right up and I swear it is like the dirt and grime get lost in the magical cloth. We even had some fun in the toy room with the Envirocloth. It is a great all over cleaning tool!

The Dusting Mitt was amazing, just like I thought it would be. I loved using it on my Hunter Douglas faux blinds. They get so dusty and the mitt was so easy to use on them. I put it on and ran my hand along all of the blinds and it took care of the dust. When the mitt gets too much dust on it, you simply knock off the dust in the trashcan and you are good to go. I used mine dry and it worked wonders, but I am sure I will have to use the wet option eventually.


I am so excited to team up with Megan and offer an amazing giveaway! She is going to give one lucky reader, the Window Cloth

hemp hearts love

I am always on the lookout for ways to add more protein into my diet. I am not a huge fan of lunch meat, and I don't always have shredded chicken on hand, so any type of "non-meat" protein is a win win in my book. Recently, FitApproach, launched a campaign with Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts. This is my first campaign as a SweatPink ambassador and am so excited to be teamed up with them!



Make sure to check the bottom of the post for a chance to win a bag of Hemp Hearts!


According to ManitobaHarvest.com, hemp hearts are the raw shelled hemp seed and have a slightly nutty taste. They are incredibly nutritious averaging 10 grams of plant-based protein and 10 grams of Omegas, per 30 gram serving. I had to give these a try, since I have heard so many great things about this super food. They are an amazing source of protein and super easy to add to all sorts of foods. 





I love having oatmeal in the morning, it is an easy breakfast and bonus points for being able to serve it to Luke, as well! So, I thought I would go ahead and add in the hemp hearts to my morning oatmeal, for some added protein and nutrition. I added 2 tbsp, and could not taste them in the meal, which is not a horrible thing!




Everyday around 3PM I have my healthy shake. I find it fills me up and helps me to eat a more balanced and portion appropriate dinner.
 So, I thought why not add some #hemplove ?

Below is my typical shake; 
1 scoop of chocolate shakeology
 1 tbsp dry peanut butter
1 frozen banana
 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk
water to tast (I like mine pretty thin, where some people prefer thicker)

I added 2 tbsp Hemp Hearts, as well. I could definitely taste the difference in consistency, but was pleased with the taste, and the outcome! Yet, another win for Hemp Hearts!

All in all, I definitely think I will be adding Hemp Hearts into my daily diet. I loved how easy they were to add and the taste is natural and light.
Look below for you chance to win a bag of Hemp Hearts, completely free!!!


Happy hemping,
