There's an old saying I recall from many years ago...."Kids are gonna jump in the water, whether you like it or not....so throw them a life preserver...it's better than letting them drown!"

So, even though I'm not a huge believer in being a germaphobe or needing to use crazy amounts of hand sanitizer every time I walk in or out of a building, I see that they are popping up all over the place!  Sadly, they are all loaded with alcohol or other nasty stuff that I do NOT want my kids slathering up with.  So, I am bringing in the big guns....the NATURAL route!  Please help me welcome one of our newest products to our line....(drum roll please)....Clean Well's Hand Sanitizer!  That's right, it has the same germ killing abilities of its nasty competitors, but without the nasty!  It's based on a fantastic blend of Thyme and other essential oils and has been proven to kill 99.99% of the scary stuff it was tested on....in 15 seconds!  Take that!  And, take away the sting of little open sores when alcohol hits it, take away the smell of the nasty chemical cocktail and take away the dry skin and danger for kids!  Love it!  Can't wait to show it off to everyone!

Now those who really just can't imagine handling money without sanitizing right after can do so without a bunch of other concerns taking the place of germs!

What's In Store is my vessel to bring alternatives that are sustainable and better for the planet and those of us who really would like to live healthier on it!

Okay, so who in Canada that blogs is NOT blogging about the Olympics right now?!  Everyone right?!  I am no exception.  This was actually the first year I really got into the Olympic games; and I did so to have some connection with my son.  The upside was that I actually enjoyed it!  I'm not a sports fan by nature and never watch hockey in its regular season, but I was glued to the TV through both the Women's and the Men's journey to victory!  What an amazing feeling!  And to see the enthusiasm of our country via satellite was heart warming.  The feeling was carried through every other event that we watched....awesome.

Isn't it incredible that we, as a nation, can escape the trials of the economy and the stresses of regular life for that 17-day period to watch in awe as atheletes worldwide put themselves out there, in a way most of us could not imagine excelling to, and make each country proud.  There were several points that will leave historical marks in both happy and sad ways for the individuals working toward their goals and the countries they represent.  Our own certainly had its historical moments:  first gold on home soil, most golds EVER, the skater showing such bravery and committment (I can't even put it into words) getting out there in front of all eyes watching right after losing her mother, everything.

Well done Canada!  Well done world!  Let's use this as a jumping point to keep our enthusiasm and do great things with Olympic spirit!  We can make change....each of us has the ability to do great things when we want it bad enough!  Our atheletes showed it in their committment and their passion....we can show it in our choices we make day to day.
