Getting rid of fleas…

September 24th, 2009 Sarah Posted in Environment, Home, Soap nuts No Comments »

Courtesy of The Little Green Blog.

The main ingredients of The Little Green flea clear up recipe are essential oils, water and a few drops of washing up liquid – eco friendly of course. Soap nuts have an insect repellent property so you could use soap nut solution instead of washing up liquid. Read the rest of this entry »

Then a fresh set of soap nut shells and bedding to be washed and dried outside – it’s a perfect drying day here; warm, dry and with a breeze. It’s all going to smell lovely!

Recovering.

May 4th, 2009 Sarah Posted in Business News, Soap nuts No Comments »

Proper “Online”

March 31st, 2009 Sarah Posted in Business News, Soap nuts 2 Comments »

Washing “On Line” That’s the real online for me. Washing smelling faintly of lavender and tea tree, washed using soap nuts and blowing gently in the breeze while the sun warms it thoroughly.

That’s interesting.

November 11th, 2008 Sarah Posted in Business News, Soap nuts, Uncategorized No Comments »

Ethics Trading seems to be being treated as 2 distinct sites by Google.
