    Refresh Your Home With Mrs. Meyer’s Spring Scents

    As I’ve gotten get older (and busier), I’ve learned that spring cleaning doesn’t have to to be a huge, time-consuming affair in order to be effective.

    Even if you don’t have time for a deep clean, something as simple as throwing open the windows or wiping down the countertops with a spring-scented cleaner can breathe new life into a tired space.

    To help you refresh your home, my friends at Grove Collaborative are offering a free spring cleaning set with your first order of $20:

    • Mrs. Meyer’s Spring hand soap
    • Mrs. Meyer’s Spring dish soap
    • Mrs. Meyer’s Spring multi-surface spray
    • Grove Collaborative bubble-up brush
    • Grove Collaborative walnut scrubber sponges

    Existing customers will receive free Grove walnut scrubber sponges — they’re sustainably made and perfect for all your spring cleaning tasks!

    After a dreary winter, I always look forward to the return of spring and Mrs. Meyer’s spring scents: Mint, Peony, and Lilac. Mint smells just like the real thing — sweet and cool. Peony and Lilac are subtle floral scents that remind me of a spring garden in bloom.

    To me, a clean home begins with the products you use — so I’m always looking for ways to eliminate toxins in my cleaning routine. All of Mrs. Meyer’s products are made with plant-derived ingredients and essential oils, so I can feel good using them around my family.

    In addition to Mrs. Meyer’s soaps and multi-surface spray, the spring cleaning set comes with a limited edition Grove Collaborative bubble-up brush with a beautiful wildflower print. Not only does it look beautiful sitting next to my sink; it also makes the task of doing dishes much more enjoyable!

    Now those sunny days are in the forecast, I’m all for anything that helps me get things done faster and have more time to work in my garden or go for a walk.

    That’s where Grove Collaborative comes in! Grove makes creating a healthy, beautiful home effortless and affordable. They hand-select the best natural products and deliver them (carbon offset) right to your doorstep, on your schedule. Grove has you covered for all your spring cleaning needs.

    Once you’ve submitted your Grove order, you’ll be signed up for the free 60 day VIP trial.  I love being a VIP because I get perks like free shipping, free gifts, price matching, exclusive sales, and personal service.

    FREE Mrs. Meyer’s Holiday Set from Grove Collaborative.

    FREE Mrs. Meyer’s Holiday Set from Grove Collaborative

    It’s that time of year again. Our house is buzzing with activity, from hosting out-of-town guests, to throwing holiday parties, to wrapping gifts and decorating the mantel.

    Not surprisingly, my desire to have a clean, welcoming home intensifies tenfold in November.

    Fortunately, it’s also the time of year when Mrs. Meyer’s holiday scents return. Not only do they look and smell festive, they also make the task of cleaning and doing dishes a lot more enjoyable! 

    This year, Mrs. Meyer’s is bringing back three crowd favorites: Iowa Pine, Peppermint, and Orange Clove. I’ve been waiting all year for Iowa Pine to return, because the crisp and spicy scent fills the entire house with wonderful smells of Christmas trees.   

    Right now, you can get a free Mrs. Meyer’s trio in your choice of scents, plus a free set of Grove Collaborative walnut scrubber sponges — all packed up in a limited edition red cleaning caddy for gifting (or keeping!). 

    New customers will get the holiday set when you place your first order of $20:

    • Free Mrs. Meyer’s holiday hand soap
    • Free Mrs. Meyer’s holiday dish soap
    • Free Mrs. Meyer’s holiday multi-surface spray
    • Grove Collaborative red caddy
    • Grove Collaborative walnut scrubber sponges

     

    Plus, if you spend $39, you’ll also receive a free Grove stoneware tray to beautifully display your new holiday soaps.

    If you’re already a Grove customer, you’ll get a free set of my favorite Grove walnut scrubbers  — perfect for cleaning up after baking cookies or pumpkin pie.

    This beautiful red caddy is everything you need to organize your home for the holidays! While you could go the traditional route and use it to store your cleaning supplies, it would also make a great gift wrapping station stocked with tape, ribbons, markers, and tags. Or, wrap your silverware in napkins, secure with a napkin ring, and place them in the caddy for your holiday buffet. 

    Speaking of holiday buffets, there’s no shortage of dirty dishes this time of year. Fortunately, Mrs. Meyer’s dish soap is perfect for tackling tough messes. Put a drop in your roasting pan or crockpot and watch grease disappear! 

    Of course, no kitchen or bathroom is complete without Mrs. Meyer’s hand soap. I get tons of compliments on these scents, and the cheerful bottles are an easy way to spruce up your sink-side display.

    Another holiday hosting must-have is Mrs. Meyer’s multi-surface cleaner. It’s ideal for those last-minute cleanups before guests arrive. You only need one product for countertops, walls, bathroom fixtures, and wood or tile floors. Plus, it leaves your entire home smelling like the holidays.

    Since the holiday season is also flu season, I always keep the multi-surface spray on hand for wiping down faucets, doorknobs, and other surfaces that get touched all the time. 

    Grove Collaborative is also essential for me during the busy holiday season! Grove hand-selects the best natural products and delivers them (carbon offset) right to your doorstep, on your schedule. They’ve got you covered for all your cleaning and organization needs as you head into the holiday season. Don’t forget to stock up on hand soap, toilet paper, and paper towels before your guests arrive!

    When you submit your first order, 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 customer service. That means more money left over to spend on gifts for your family (or a little treat for yourself!). 

    These holiday sets fly off the shelves faster than toys on Black Friday, so don’t wait! Here’s how to grab your free set:

     

    1. Sign up for Grove Collaborative here. You will receive the FREE Mrs. Meyer’s Holiday Set from Grove Collaborative for free when you sign up as a new customer!
    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.

    5 Creative Ways to Use a Cleaning Caddy.

    It’s no secret that I love organizing. I love making lists. I love anything that promises to make my life easier and more efficient. 

    That’s why, within minutes of receiving this stylish, multi-functional enamel caddy from Grove Collaborative, I’d already thought of a reason to order two more!

    It’s also why I’m so excited to share this free offer with you: When you place your first order of $20 from Grove Collaborative using my link here, you’ll get this free caddy filled with Mrs. Meyer’s dish soap, hand soap, and lotion — plus free shipping!

    Caddies are perfect for neatly storing and carrying just about anything around your home. 

    Of course, you could go the traditional route and fill it with multi-purpose spray, microfibers, a wand duster, Mrs. Meyer’s dish soap, and so on. But why stop there?

    Here are five creative ways to use your Grove Collaborative caddy:

    1.Mini herb or succulent garden

    I love the idea of a kitchen herb garden in an unconventional planter. Add a few inches of gravel or pebbles for drainage, then a layer of potting soil, and your plants. My favorite herbs to grow are basil, cilantro, and rosemary. Another benefit of the caddy: The handle makes it easy to carry your plants to the sink for watering!

    2. Garden tool organizer

    Here’s a gardening hack for all my green thumb friends: Turn your Grove caddy into a garden tool organizer! Fill it with a cute pair of gloves, trowel, pruning shears, hand rake, and kneeling board. Easily carry your garden tools around the yard instead of running back and forth to the shed. When you’re done gardening, Meyer’s hand soap and lotion are perfect for pampering hardworking hands.

    3. Hair tool organizer

    Low on storage space under the bathroom sink? Create a styling station with your hair dryer, brush, flat iron or curling iron, and products all within reach. I recently added Seed nourishing hair and body oil (which is available through Grove) to my kit, and it’s perfect for taming summer flyaways!

    4. Dog toy holder

    Your furry best friend will love this trick: Turn the caddy into a dog toy bin that matches your decor. Fill the caddy with tennis balls, stuffed animals, and other toys. Your pup can reach his own toys, and you won’t have to worry about stepping on a squeaky toy in the middle of the stairs!

    5. Ice chest

    Raise your hand if you’re ready for patio season! This caddy is just the right size to hold ice and a few bottles of wine or lemonade. It’s easy to carry outside, and so much cuter than a plastic cooler. I also recommend adding Murphy’s Naturals mosquito repellent candles to your Grove order to keep summer pests away from your party!

    Tell me, how will you use your Grove cleaning caddy? Don’t forget to grab your free set while supplies last. Here’s how:

    Sign up for Grove Collaborative here.  As a new customer, you will receive the below free with your first purchase.

    As an existing customer, you will receive

    • Grove walnut scrubber sponges.

    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.

    You made it! Click Finish & Pay and place your order.

     

    Tip to save: Once you have submitted your Grove order, you will 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.

    As a busy mom, I need hardworking, multitasking products. That’s why I’m a huge fan of Mrs. Meyer’s. A few drops of Mrs. Meyer’s dish soap can clean tile floors, degrease grill grates, and remove grime from patio furniture. Mrs. Meyer’s hand soap is tough enough for gardeners or little hands that have been playing in the dirt. And of course, the matching lotion is a necessity for skin that’s dried out from cleaning or swimming in the pool. 

    On top of being effective, it’s important to me to use products I can feel proud to display. Grove Collaborative’s dish brush is beautifully effective for tackling dishes on taco night but also makes a lovely sink side display.

    Invite Spring Into Your Home with Mrs. Meyer’s FREE Seasonal Scents.

    As soon as March rolls around, I start itching to spend every minute outside. I can’t wait for that first beautiful spring weekend when I can invite friends and family over for dinner on the patio.

    Of course, the weather where we live doesn’t always cooperate, so I’ve had to find some creative ways to invite spring into my home.

    One of my favorite ways to do that is with Mrs. Meyer’s seasonal scents. 

    This year, Mrs. Meyer’s is featuring three limited-edition scents for spring: mint, peony, and lilac. They make my home smell like a lush garden! 

    Don’t take my word for it: You can try the scents for yourself FREE from Grove Collaborative when you place your first order of $20 using my link.

    Here’s what you’ll get:

    • Free Mrs. Meyer’s Spring hand soap
    • Free Mrs. Meyer’s Spring dish soap
    • Free Mrs. Meyer’s Spring multi-surface spray
    • Grove Collaborative Spring kitchen towel (new! Cornflower blue)
    • Free Shipping & 60 Day VIP Trial

    Existing customers will get free Grove walnut scrubber sponges, which are perfect for all your spring cleaning. 

     

     

    My favorite Mrs. Meyer’s spring scent is lilac. My grandma had a lilac bush outside her front window when I was growing up, and this scent instantly transports me back to our times together researching family history — even when I’m wiping down the stove. I use the multi-surface spray in every room of my house, from getting hairspray off the bathroom counters to cleaning fingerprints off walls.

    This time of year, I always have a bottle of Mrs. Meyer’s hand soap in our mudroom sink. It’s perfect for cleaning up after I come in from gardening, and the peony scent leaves my hands smelling like a fresh bouquet.

    I was also excited to try Mrs. Meyer’s new spring scent, mint. It’s their first new limited-edition scent in two years, and it doesn’t disappoint! The scent is sweet and refreshing, but light enough that it doesn’t leave any fragrance behind on your dishes. 

    Paired with Grove’s extra large and super absorbent kitchen towel, it’s everything I need to clean up after baking a pie or making a spring pasta salad. These towels are also handy for drying produce!

    In addition to this free kit, Grove Collaborative has you covered for all your spring cleaning essentials. Grove delivers the best natural products (carbon offset) right to your doorstep, on your schedule.

    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.

    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

    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!

    1. Sign up for Grove Collaborative here. You will receive the Holiday Set for free when you sign up!

    Green Cleaning Tips from Grove Collaborative

    *This post contains sponsored links from Grove Co. All opinions are my own.

     

    Here’s a common myth I hear a lot: Making the switch to green cleaning products is too expensive.

    I can say from experience that creating a green cleaning kit can be easy and affordable. You don’t need a cabinet stuffed with products — in fact, I now use fewer (and better!) products.

    You can get a jumpstart on your green cleaning routine by grabbing this free set of cleaning concentrates + glass spray bottle + microfibers with your first purchase of $20 from my friends at Grove Collaborative. Then come back here for my green cleaning tips:

    • I feel good about using reusable glass bottles for my favorite products and DIY recipes, knowing I’m not adding more plastic bottles to landfills. Plus, this colorful Grove spray bottle adds a dose of style to your cleaning routine! I love that they added a silicone sleeve to keep it from slipping out of your hand.
    • Concentrated products create less shipping weight and less waste. Each 1 oz. Grove concentrate creates 16 oz. of product — just dispense it into your spray bottle, add water and start cleaning.
    • I switched from paper towels to microfiber cloths for cleaning a few months ago, and I’ve never looked back. You can throw them in the washing machine when you’re done, and they’ll last for years!
    • The all-purpose cleaner can replace a shelf full of products. Grove all-purpose concentrate works on countertops, appliances, sinks, backsplashes and more.
    • Did you know glass cleaner can do more than windows? Use your Grove glass cleaner concentrate to get the grime off windowsills, clean dusty light fixtures, and shine up your wedding ring.
    • Choose a bathroom cleaner that does double-duty. I keep a bottle of Grove tub & tile concentrate under my sink, and it’s the only product I need to clean the whole bathroom.
    • Curate your cleaning kit by choosing gorgeous products in complementary scents. These Grove concentrates come in a heavenly orange & rosemary scent that works in any room.
    • I’ve found that purchasing products from Grove Collaborative not only saves me time, it’s also more affordable than picking up products at the grocery store. Grove hand-selects the best natural products and delivers them (carbon offset) right to my doorstep, on my schedule.

    New customers get the concentrates set and existing customers get the walnut scrubber sponges.

    Bonus tip: Once you’ve submitted your Grove order, you’ll 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.

    Even though it’s summer, July is one of our busiest months. Between our family outings, summer day camps, and get-togethers, it seems like we’re always on the go.

    We also love to host groups of people in our home, whether it’s a dinner party with our friends or family from out of town.

    Naturally, I want my home to feel stylish and inviting. On the other hand, I don’t feel like cleaning for days just so my house feels presentable for guests.

    That’s where this Stylish Hosting Kit from Grove Collaborative comes in. Grab your FREE set of Mrs. Meyer’s hand soap + dish soap + hand lotion + Grove Collaborative sink tray. Then come back here for my favorite tips to set a stylish scene for your summer guests:

    • Greet your guests with an inviting scent. Lighting a few candles is my favorite way to make our home smell welcoming.
    • Your guests will be hungry when they arrive — this is true whether you’re entertaining your neighbors or a group of seven year olds! Set out self-serve snacks like hummus and veggies, chips and salsa, and cut-up fruit to whet their appetite.
    • A guest bathroom should be clean and convenient, but it can also be cute! This glossy white ceramic sink tray from Grove Collaborative is perfectly sized to contain your hand soap and lotion.
    • Speaking of soap, a luxurious hand wash is such a treat for guests. You can choose from Mrs. Meyer’s basil, geranium, honeysuckle, lavender, or lemon verbena scents, plus matching lotion. I have the basil scent in our bathroom right now!

    Party pro tip: Stock up on all your summer hosting needs like paper towels, toilet paper, and cleaning supplies with Grove Collaborative. Since Grove ships everything to your doorstep on your schedule, you’ll never have to make a last-minute dash to the grocery store for napkins when guests are on their way!

    • Set the mood with a great soundtrack. You can curate your own playlist, or look online for a fun summer mix.
    • You’ve cleaned, prepped the food, and picked a playlist — now don’t forget the lighting. The right lighting can transform your space (and camouflage any areas you didn’t have time to clean!).
    • Flowers make everything feel fancy! Fresh cut blooms can be pricey, so cut a few stems from your garden and arrange them in a pretty vase instead.
    • Nothing brings a party to life like color. Mrs. Meyer’s soaps and lotions come in a rainbow of happy hues to inject some energy into your home.
    • Guests will be here any minute, and the sink is full of dishes! Soak pots and pans with a squirt of Mrs. Meyer’s dish soap while you finish tidying up, then all you need is a quick scrub to get them clean.
    • When you’re done with the dishes, corral your hand soap, dish soap, and sponge on the sink tray for a pretty display.
    • Now that everyone has arrived, it’s starting to feel a little too cozy. Keep guests from having a heat stroke by opening windows and strategically placing fans to circulate the cool night air.
