I can't believe that it is almost time to start the dreaded spring cleaning again! I have always disliked spring cleaning and remember having to do it when I was a child. Mom would assign different rooms of the house to each of my siblings and I and we had about a week to complete our assigned room. Rooms like the kitchen and living room were generally done by all of us because they were bigger and I think I enjoyed cleaning the living room the best. Mom was (and still is) the queen of clean and let me tell you...our house HAD to be clean!! Now that I have had my own house for over 6 years I have learned why she loves clean. Life is just so much better and less stressful when you live in a clean home.
So, as I embark on my spring cleaning this year I am thrilled to have discovered Tropical Traditions All Purpose Cleaner! Before I talk about that though, I want to give you a bit of information about Tropical Traditions: The Best Place to get Virgin Coconut Oil. Here is a short video about Virgin Coconut Oil...
This video is fantastic if you are wondering What is Virgin Coconut Oil? Before I started reviewing products, I had never heard of Tropical Traditions but had heard of how wonderful Coconut Oil was. I am SO GLAD that my family and I have been using Coconut Oil since we first met them and now that I use it, my mom and dad use it too!
So, for this review I was sent a bottle of the Tropical Traditions All Purpose Cleaner. Timing was perfect for receiving this cleaner because there were some areas of my kitchen that needed some TLC. We have lived in this house for 3 months now and since we have moved, I have yet to do a really deep cleaning. Here is some information about this cleaner...
Safe & non-toxic, this solution is for all your household/commercial cleaning needs! Replace all of your harmful, toxic cleaners with Household Traditions All Purpose Cleaner! This environmentally safe botanical mixture contains no harmful detergents or solvents, no perfumes or dyes, and is easy to use! Household Traditions All Purpose Cleaner is an enzyme-based botanical formula that can cut through the toughest grease or dirt, and is completely non-toxic.
The first area of my kitchen that I tackled was the front of my oven. Oh goodness, between the finger prints and smudgy hands, my oven was filthy! So, I sprayed it down with the All Purpose Cleaner and let it set for a few minutes. Then, I wiped it down with a paper towel. Wow! I could not believe the difference! As you can see in the photo above, my before and after pictures are amazing!
Because the front of the oven turned out so great, I did the inside of the oven door window as well. I could not believe how the greasy the inside of the oven was. I mean, I KNOW the oven gets dirty but it seems to be neglected because how often do you remember to clean the inside of the oven? I don't EVER remember, unfortunately.
THIS was my rag after cleaning the inside of the oven door and this is just one of the surfaces of the cloth...eew! I am so glad to see that this cleaner works well for my oven. Another thing I forgot to mention was that there is not a strong odor to the Tropical Traditions All Purpose Cleaner so you are not overwhelmed with fumes when working with it.
Another area I cleaned was my kitchen sink. This is a well-used area of my home and you would think that if it is constantly coated with soapy water that it would be clean. NO! You would be surprised how scum can build up. I simply sprayed the cleaner into the sink and wiped it up. It worked very well and yes, my paper towel was dirty after cleaning the sinks. Tonight after dinner I completely wiped down all of my counter tops, stove top and microwave. Wow...my kitchen looks GOOD!
Not only can you use this as a kitchen and bathroom cleaner, you can also use it for cleaning your car, washing fruits & veggies, laundry pre-treater and other tough cleaning jobs. I love that it is a multi-purpose cleaner. That makes my job so much easier. Tropical Traditions All Purpose Cleaner retails for $6.99 (32 oz spray bottle) or $21.95 for the gallon jug. Tropical Traditions is on Facebook, Twitter and also on Pinterest! I love the recipes they post on Pinterest too...so yummy! Check them out today!
So, in my opinion...Tropical Traditions All Purpose Cleaner is a fantastic product! I love how it cleaned my kitchen so well and with so little effort. I have been looking for a cleaner like this that I can use to wipe down my kitchen surfaces and this one is my favorite right now! I would definitely recommend this to anyone...it will become your favorite cleaner too!

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED*** Well, as you have probably noticed I do not have a shortage of lip balms in my house. I do have a sister who is crazy about lip balms too, so I make sure to pass on some of my goodies to her. My daughter is also really fond of these little sticks of balm too...and LOVES to put on like two or three inches of it when she is given the chance! As a Carmex Blog Squad Member , I am privileged to bring you new and exciting products that Carmex has recently released and they are NEVER a disappointment! So, this next review is brought to you by Carmex and is featuring their brand new Vanilla Twist and Lime Twist Ultra Moisturizing Lip Balms ! Carmex has been one of my favorite brands to use lately mainly because I love the tingly sensation that is present after using their products. I know it sounds odd, but it is almost like I know the product is working for me and actually doing something other than sitting on my lips. (Just don't leave them in a hot ...
Are any of you married to a computer guy ? Do you lovingly call him a "geek" sometimes? (my hand is raised here...LOL!) My husband is the most wonderful man in the world. He is funny, sincere, loving and VERY handy with the computer. I have issues sometimes with coding and am often heard calling "Honey? Can you come look at my blog? I don't know how to fix this!!!!" And, my charming prince comes to rescue me. My darling is going to be 31 in a week and I am SO excited to be able to celebrate another birthday with him. He also shares a birthday with our daughter which makes the day twice as fun. :) She has been talking about her birthday for WEEKS and cannot wait! This next review item is for him so if you know him (and I am hoping he doesn't read my blog for the next week :/) don't tell him about this!!!!!!!! If you are looking for perfect, unique and personalized gifts for someone special in your life I will tell you that after this post, you...
***GIVEAWAY CLOSED*** Sooo, with summer coming to a dangerously quick end we are really trying to cook out more. We know that when the leaves start to fall and the snowflakes come that BBQ season will be over. I have always thought that it would be fun to cook out in the winter, with snow and all! Who knows, it may come to that one of these winters. Whenever we cook out I love to enjoy some sort of soda with my food. It just seems to "make" the BBQ and is also refreshing. It is even more of a treat because it is not something that we do often (drink soda, that is). When drinking soda, I don't always look for the natural stuff. Let's face it...sometimes it is easier to just grab whatever is closest and forget about natural goodness. I am bad about this. Finding healthier options for soda is always a goal of mine...although I am not always good at it. :) Today, I am going to introduce you to a Mexican soda that will change the way you think of soda. Sidral ...
