    Pamper Yourself This Winter with Grove Collaborative.

    February is always the time of year when I get tired of winter and start wishing for spring. I’m ready for sunshine, fresh air, and flowers coming up in the yard!

    Fortunately, my friends at Grove are offering this free Personal Care Kit to help cure the winter blues. When you place your first order of $20 using my link, you’ll get:

    • Free Mrs. Meyer’s body wash
    • Free Mrs. Meyer’s body lotion
    • Free Grove loofah
    • Free Shipping & 60 Day VIP Trial

    If you’re an existing customer, you’ll receive a free Grove lip balm — perfect for soothing chapped lips!

    Dry winter air is particularly hard on your skin. I’ve found that switching up my regular bar soap for this creamy Mrs. Meyer’s body wash was exactly what my skin needed! It’s made with aloe vera so it’s super nourishing, and the scents smell like a spring garden.

    Mrs. Meyer’s body wash is even better with this Grove loofah. You only need a little dollop of soap on the soft mesh to create a rich lather. It’s great for exfoliating and increasing circulation to leave your skin smooth and glowy.

    After a shower, I love using Mrs. Meyer’s body lotion. It sinks in quickly, and hydrates without feeling greasy or heavy. This has earned a permanent spot on my bathroom counter next to my Mrs. Meyer’s hand lotion!

    Grove Collaborative has become my go-to for healthy, beautiful personal care products. After you place your first order, Grove will remember the products you love and even recommend a shipment schedule so you don’t run out. You can add or remove items from your cart or change your shipment date, and they’ll deliver everything (carbon offset) to your doorstep, on your schedule. They’ll even suggest products you might like, which is how I’ve discovered some new favorites!

    You’ll get this set free with your first order of $20. Here’s an example of what your cart might look like:

    • Grove hand sanitizer spray 3.95
    • Mrs. Meyer’s foaming hand soap 3.89
    • Preserve soft toothbrush 3.19
    • Tom’s of Maine sensitive toothpaste 4.79
    • Yes to Blueberries cleansing facial wipes 5.99

    Cart total: $21.81

    You’ll get all those products + Mrs. Meyer’s body wash and body lotion + Grove loofah for around $20! Plus, you’ll get free shipping and a free 60 day VIP trial. Grove really pampers their VIPs, from free shipping to free gifts, price matching, exclusive sales, and personal service.  

    This offer is only available until February 18, so don’t miss out!

    10 Small Ways to Make Your Home Feel New for the New Year.

    My home feels oddly empty after taking the tree down and putting all the decorations away.

    While I’m enjoying the newfound space, I’m also itching to freshen up my decor.

    Fortunately, making your home feel new for the new year doesn’t need to involve spending a ton of money or tackling a huge renovation.

    One simple way to rediscover pride in your home is with this beautiful set of Grove cleaning concentrates + glass spray bottle + microfiber + cleaning caddy, which is free with your first order of $20 from Grove Collaborative .

    Grab your free set, then check out my small but mighty tips for making your home feel new again:

    1. You can change the look of your whole room just by swapping out your throw pillows. I love buying pillow covers because it’s an inexpensive way to refresh a bed or couch without having to store bulky pillows.
    2. Rearrange your furniture. It’s a totally free way to see your home with fresh eyes!
    3. Fresh flowers breathe life into a dreary winter room. Try a hibiscus for a touch of the tropics, or a few branches of fragrant eucalyptus in the bathroom.
    4. There’s nothing like unearthing a hidden gem at the flea market. My heart still swells with pride when a friend compliments me on the cool entryway bench I discovered last year!
    5. Start making space for the products that make you happy and help you stay healthy. For example, I’ve been slowly using up rags and old bottles of cleaner and replacing them with beautiful alternatives like this free Grove microfiber and Grove glass spray bottle. Little details like the colorful silicone sleeve always bring a smile to my face.
    6. Grove makes creating a healthy, beautiful home effortless and affordable. They deliver my favorite natural products from brands like Seventh Generation, Mrs. Meyer’s, and Burt’s Bees to my doorstep, on my schedule.
    7. It’s amazing how much more in control I feel when I’m organized. For example, this beautiful cleaning caddy helps me neatly store my most-used cleaning supplies so I don’t have to run back and forth
    8. I love the peace of mind that comes from using safe, toxin-free products around the people I love. These Grove cleaning concentrates are a perfect example of a product that’s ultra-effective without harsh chemicals.
    9. Declutter one thing every day. By the end of the year, you’ll have gotten rid of 365 things and you’ll have more space for living.
    10. It’s easy to get caught up in comparisons like Her kitchen is always immaculate or I wish my living room looked like that — especially if you spend any time on social media. Be gentle with yourself and remember that you’re comparing your behind-the-scenes with someone else’s highlight reel.
    11. Bonus tip: Once you’ve submitted your Grove order, you’ll be signed up for the free 60 day VIP trial. For 60 days, save even more with free shipping, free gifts, price matching, exclusive sales and personal service. My free VIP gifts have allowed me to test-drive some products that I probably wouldn’t have tried otherwise — and they’ve become staples in my home!

    New customers receive:

    • Grove cleaning concentrates (3 pack)
    • Grove glass spray bottle
    • Grove microfiber (2 pack)
    • Grove cleaning caddy

    Existing customers receive:

    • Grove walnut scrubber sponges

    How to Create Calm Amidst The Holiday Chaos.

    We’re in that magical and slightly maddening stretch of the year where the calendar is overflowing with holiday parties, celebratory dinners, and family get-togethers.

    For the most part it’s fun, but sometimes all the activity can leave me feeling frazzled. 

    In those moments, it’s especially important to me that our home feels like a retreat from all the busyness.

    Scent is one of my favorite ways to create a calm, restorative atmosphere, so I’m thrilled that Mrs. Meyer’s is bringing back my favorite seasonal scents: peppermint, orange clove, and Iowa pine. 

    I find the peppermint especially soothing during those times where I’m fighting off a holiday-induced tension headache. One sniff is like snuggling up with a warm peppermint mocha! Cheerful orange clove is a great stress reliever, and crisp Iowa pine instantly puts me in the holiday spirit.

    Now you can experience the magic of Mrs. Meyer’s for free with this Holiday Set from my friends at Grove Collaborative.

    When you place your first order of $20 using my link, you’ll get:

    • Free Holiday Mrs. Meyer’s hand soap
    • Free Holiday Mrs. Meyer’s dish soap
    • Free Holiday Mrs. Meyer’s multi-surface spray
    • Free Grove Collaborative seasonal kitchen towel
    • Free Shipping & 60 Day VIP Trial

    Existing customers will get a free set of Grove walnut scrubber sponges. They make tackling holiday pots and pans so much easier! 

    Remember that old saying, “Stop and smell the roses”? When I’m feeling overwhelmed, I try to practice mindfulness during everyday tasks like doing dishes or washing my hands. Mrs. Meyer’s rich, creamy hand and dish soaps make it easy to stay present in the moment, and I love that they’re a healthy addition to my home.

    This Grove kitchen towel feels like such a treat to use, too. It’s perfect for streamlining a busy kitchen, since you can use it to dry dishes, drape it over bread dough while it’s rising, and even grab hot cookie sheets out of the oven. It also works like a charm with Mrs. Meyer’s multi-surface spray for whisking away messes on the stove or counter.

    Another way that I bring order to my home this time of year is by using Grove Collaborative. Grove ships my favorite natural household products like laundry detergent, paper towels, and toothpaste to my doorstep on my schedule. No more rushing around stores and fighting crowds! It really helps me feel organized and on top of things which is essential during the holidays.

    Once you submit your first Grove order using my link, you’ll also be signed up for the free 60 day VIP trial. For 60 days, you’ll save even more with free shipping, free gifts, price matching, exclusive sales and personal service — perfect if you’re trying to stretch your holiday budget! 

    I should warn you that last year, Mrs. Meyer’s seasonal scents sold out quickly. This offer is only available through November 19th or until the sets are gone, so don’t miss out! Here’s how it works:

    1. Sign up for Grove Collaborative here. You will receive the Holiday Set for free when you sign up!
    2. To receive this offer, your order needs to be a minimum of $20. Choose the combination of products and scents you love and receive your first box within a few days.
    3. You made it! Click Finish & Pay and place your order.
