10 Little Things That Lead to a Happier, Healthier You!

Spring is definitely in the air! Do you feel it? I am so glad to have the warmer weather and sunshine! I have been stir crazy finding new things to do and making improvements on the house, working in the garden, etc. Spring is definitely a happy time for me.

With spring in mind, I have decided to participate in TwitterMom's 10 Little Things post. Below are my 10 Things That Lead to a Happier, Healthier You!

1. I enjoy going to church each week. What could be more happy or healthy than making sure your Spirit is in check!
2. I enjoy playing outside with my little guy. It makes me super happy to see him having a good time.
3. I enjoy walking the dogs. We all need the exercise. My dogs get lazy sometimes and walking keeps them going.
4. I enjoy sitting and reading a good book. This is a destresser for me. Nothing is more healthy than relieving some stress.
5. I enjoy hanging out with friends. This is another great way for me to destress.
6. I enjoy going to concerts. This is great exercise and makes me happy. Who doesn't enjoy to boogie every now and then?
7. I have a healthier home when I clean with natural products. I can really tell the difference using chemicals over natural things to clean.
8. I really enjoy fostering cats! It is so cool to take in the pregnant mommas and watch them prepare for labor and then watch the little ones grow. Makes me very happy!
9. I love to relax and snuggle up to a good movie. I will pop some natural popcorn and add a little seasoning salt and enjoy my healthy high-fiber snack!
10. I enjoy hiking and seeing new sights. There is just something about exploring new things that makes me happy. I love to see and do things I have never seen or done before. I usually get lots of exercise in the process which is very healthy!

Not only does April host Earth Day but it is also National Car Care and National Informed Women Month. It is very important to take proper care of our cars. How many of us really think about this on a daily basis? We definitely need to make for of a conscious effort to provide proper care for our cars. This will save us the headache of more things going wrong and it will extend the life of the car which is better for the environment and for our pocket books.

There is a website, Motor Oil Matters, that can help inform each of us about benefit of quality motor oil. There is an entertaining game called "M.O.M. Knows Best" which puts your motor mind to the test. Another site with helpful information is AskPatty.com.

Here are some fun facts:

• 54% of people who take their vehicles in for service or repairs are women.
• Using the right grade of high-quality motor oil can help maximize fuel economy.
• Using low quality oils can damage the vehicles engine over time and can possibly void warranties.
• High-quality motor oils like Pennzoil or Quaker State are designed to meet the demands of today's engines.

Jiffy Lube is one company that uses the high-quality motor oils such as Pennzoil and Quaker State. You can find a location near you here. On behalf of Jiffy Lube and MyBlogSpark, I have a $35 Jiffy Lube Gift Card to giveaway!

Seventh Generation Cleaning Kit Review & Giveaway!

Little by little I have been converting things in my house to Eco-friendly items. Cleaners and chemicals are very important things to change in my opinion. Seventh Generation and MyBlogSpark gave me the chance to review some of their cleaning products. They worked great and the best part is that they are natural!

The day I received the cleaning set in the mail, my dog had a huge accident on the floor. I was able to use the Multipurpose cleaner and paper towels right off the bat. They worked really well. The cleaner has a very herbally smell so if you are a fan of that then it would be excellent for you.

Seventh Generation products are non-toxic, safe for the environment, free of indoor air pollutants and EPA registered. The paper towels are recycled, unbleached, and chemical free. I try to use rags at my house as much as possible but if I do get paper towels, I get the Eco-friendly versions and only if they are really cheap.

GIVEAWAY CLOSED!
