Using Nature's Products for Laundry

While searching for healthier alternative solutions to every day living, I came across some interesting facts. I would like to share as an alternative recipe for a three ingredient laundry detergent product. In the beginning I must admit I was apprehensive in trying anything other than Tide, All, Cheer etc. Those listed as well as other detergents was all I  knew. The only way to get your laundry clean was to wash with the detergents that were advertised and sold in the supermarkets.  Once I began researching natural products for the skin, I decided to do the same for my  clothing. If one is attempting to lesson the foreign ingredients in skin care, it just makes sense to attempt the same option for the clothing that you wear against your skin. Today I am going to share some important facts for changing your laundry detergent preferences. This article will educate you on the earth's deposits that have proven cleaning components. There are many alternative reviews on the listing of ingredients I will provide, however I have the seen the difference in my laundry and with that proof that is all I needed to continue with producing my own laundry detergent. The three ingredients listed can be purchased from several locations at a minimal cost and will last way beyond a normal bottle or box of detergents purchased from your local grocery stores. I purchase all three items from www.amazon.com.  After using these ingredients for my detergent, I recognized the intensity of the color of my towels, sheets, and clothing. The ingredients are: Borax. Washing soda, and Fels-Naptha laundry bar soap or Dr. Bonner's soap, and water.  A description of the ingredients are listed below:


 Borax is a naturally occurring mineral powder that consists of soft, colorless crystals. 

 Washing Soda helps it act as a solvent to remove a range of stains, and unlike bleach, washing soda does not usually stain. It is also used in detergent mixtures to treat hard water.

Fels- Naptha & Dr. Bonners soaps - The ingredients in these soaps are not all natural, there are some foreign ingredients listed but to add these soaps to the washing soda, and Borax is closer to a healthier and more natural  choice.


You will find this to be the best laundry detergent for clothing, sheets, towels, and all the washable items you own.

I am Back!


I took a few months off to decide how to proceed with my blog. I changed the name from Scented Creations4U to  DenisesViews I have decided to discuss various subjects, as well as market my businesses in my posts.  I would like to re-introduce myself to my readers.  I am senior who is now engaged in my life long dream of being an entrepreneur.  This is a long over due dream that has finally come true. I have worked for various industries in the Customer Service Field, enjoying every minute of it. With that in mind  I chose  the "Telephone Messaging Source" as a continuation of my passion for assisting others.  I am a spontaneous and creative individual making all the decisions in life with an open mind. I am deeply in touch with my emotions, therefore anything I engage in I put my heart and soul into it. Through life we all have overcome many challenges and adversities. There were times in life that we all never imagined overcoming those obstacles,  however with positive thought , determination, and faith we are here to  move on. My belief is that life can be very simple & complex. Simple meaning- choose what is best for you and go for it. Complex meaning you have to rethink which way to go forward.  I admire simplicity and I try to balance life with a great outlook on the good and the bad. I admire complexity as well, because it gives you a chance to re-evaluate, soul search, and then change the road to success. Accomplishments have no age restrictions.  Once you reach the age of sixty and over one should  re-evaluate the likes, dislikes, accomplishment, failures, and all the negatives. Then carefully decide how you are going to move forward towards your goal in this next chapter of your life . Become an innovator, make the world your playground  choosing which ride is best for you.  Play the cards you are dealt in this life like a winner regardless of what cards you receive :)  My textbook defines - WINNER and I shall continue to conquer the obstacles placed before me. Please see www.telephonemessagingsource.com, read the testimonials from my clients, their words illustrate my company's success.

The need to Identify Natural Products


When identifying natural products, we need to read the labels very carefully. The other day I went into the neighborhood pharmacy to read the ingredients listed on products that identify themselves as  "All Natural". I was amazed at the ingredients listed,  95% of the ingredients listed were not Mother Nature's ingredients at all. When using the term " All Natural" one would expect to see three or more ingredients which are earth grown with the amazing moisturizing abilities that Mother Nature provides. Of course it is more cost effective to purchase items with man made elements to promote shelf life, however this does discount the natural properties of the product.  Our products are made to order,  the ingredients listed are ALL Natural. When purchasing our products, you will find the ingredients that are listed to be from the earth, no foreign ingredients included.  I encourage customer's to try our products to determine how these products nurture the dryness of our skin. The  climate change is approaching which causes severe dryness to our skin.  You will find the need to use a natural body cream, lip balm, foot cream and hand cream etc. to combat the dryness.  At this time you can request samples by logging on to  www.nuadditions.net. We welcome your comments after receiving your samples,  and we look forward to supplying your skin with the ultimate moisturizing experience nature can provide.

Combining Business for Success!



In the the last several weeks,  I have meditated with the idea of  how to incorporate my businesses under one umbrella. The verdict is, the Scented Creations 4U products will now be included in the NuAdditions line of products. I think the title " NuAdditions  " will articulate all of my talents. I will continue to hand make exquisite jewelry, as well as continue my pursuit for nature's products to moisturize our skin. Until the end of this year you will still able to purchase the  body creams @ www.scentedcreations4u.com. Beginning January of 2015 all natural products will be listed and sold @ www. nuadditions.net. I am thrilled with the new beginning for the year 2015, I am sure my clientele will appreciate the convenience of purchasing fine jewelry as well as all natural body products in one store - "The Nuadditions store".  I have new products added to the " scented creations4u" line of moisturizing creams.  At this time you can purchase the creams at either website until the end of the year. I am convinced that shoppers will enjoy browsing the JaeCor Jewelry Designs as well as purchasing natural moisturizing creams in one location.  I look forward to delivering quality designed jewelry pieces and skin nourishing products with the Nuaddtions label.

Time Management in Businesses


Time Management is of the utmost importance when having more than one business. In order to be successful, you must spend an equal amount time working on each business. As I mentioned previously I currently have three businesses to manage.  They each are an expression of me and an extension of my creativity. I spend my days managing the calls for my answering service. During the course of the day in between calls, I use the internet to research natural ingredients for a healthy style of daily living, as well update my knowledge of natural resources for producing natural products. I test various products myself,  I then look to my friends and family to evaluate any new product before adding it to my line. They are my critics and I respect their judgement.

 I also make melt and pour soaps with fragrant essential oils,  I then add shea butter and vegetable glycerin to the mixture. The soaps are sudsy and emollient. I don't buy soap from grocery stores any longer. Another eco friendly product I like to use. One of my customers places her order monthly for my soaps with patchouli essential oil. She highly praises the moisturizing sudsy soap content and the fragrance.

 As my answering service business day comes to an end, I prepare my dinner. Once dinner is over, I clean the kitchen. I am then ready to prepare the scented creations4u product orders I received and get  them ready to ship out the next business day.  Now I am ready to relax and make jewelry. Making jewelry is serene, you get to use your inner creativity to make different styles of jewelry. I enjoy making bracelets, necklaces, earrings, I find it to be a most tranquil craft at the end of a busy day. I spend several evening hours making jewelry. I recently had an idea to create my own signature pieces with elegant beads for necklaces and bracelets. I have named the signature pieces after my grandchildren. The collection is called " JaeCor Designs". My grandson's name is Jaedon and my granddaughter's name is Cori. I am very pleased with the outcome of the pieces, and the signature name as well. Please make sure to visit my website www.nuaddtions.net. I am sure you will pleased with the colors and styles.
