Oprah's Favorite Things



Ok--many of you may know of my somewhat "anti-Oprah" sentiments, but I have to admit that I do get sucked in occasionally. I just try to keep my head on and not get sucked into the Gospel of Oprah views. (sorry for those who love her, I know it's a weird thing about me)




But--I have to do a shout out thing for one of her favorites this year.


It's the Get Clean cleaning kit from Shaklee. I have used Shaklee cleaners since I got married (Reed's mom is a distributor and she got me started.) This was long before the organic movement and I was SO SO SO skeptical, but I used them to clean our lovely Wyview Park Trailor (yes, Reed and I are BYU married student housing trailor trash!--an extinct breed, they tore them down after we moved out--not because of us however :)). anyway, that trailor was OLD and lots of built up grime--I got it all off. And although you wouldn't know it from my home now, I really am a clean freak--and even more than that a total GERM freak. (more on that on my 6 things about me post) The added bonus is I didn't even know then, but I always had a hard time breathing around cleaners (now I know I have asthma) and these are great for me!

Shaklee reformulated some of it's cleaning line last year and repackaged them up pretty, but it's pretty much the same stuff. Plus they added HE laundry detergent. I have to say--I hardly ever buy cleaners and I love the stuff! Just in case you are interested too, Carol is my MIL and this links to her Shaklee website.

So, I had to post that I actually have and use one of Oprah's fav's before she even knew about it. I've heard that lots of famous NY people (like Jessica Seinfeld) use it and love it too.

Never heard of it before. I had better buy some soon because by next week the entire company will be sold out since Oprah gave them her stamp of approval!

The only episode I watch of Oprah all year round is her "Favorite Things" so that I can find something to be obsessed with for Christmas!! I was really interested in these cleaning products and now that I have Oprah AND Heather's stamp of approval I will have to go get some right away!!

I use Shaklee all the time! I love it -and I think the coughing and running noses in my house decreased by 70% when I stopped using harsh cleaners. I'm a believer too!
