WASHINGTON — As we begin to pivot into a new season and a new school year, now might be the perfect time to pivot into a healthier YOU! We have compiled some products to help you achieve that healthy home, body and mind for you AND your family!
First things first… you need to start with a clean home, free of dirt, grease AND harsh chemicals.
YVY Naturals
YVY Naturals (pronounced ee-vee) are high-performance cleaning agents made with 100% Brazilian citrus and Amazonian flowers. The company’s website says YVY “was born in Brazil, a result of watching the deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest and wanting to help.”
YVY Naturals are made with 100% natural ingredients, are safe for kids and pets and are better for the environment thanks to its sustainability and zero plastic waste.
Even better news? You no longer need to scour grocery store shelves for cleaning supplies. YVY Naturals is a monthly subscription box delivered right to your doorstep, so you never run out!
I tried out YVY Naturals in my home, cleaning off grease from my stovetop and microwave after a night of making tempura. I must say, it worked great! Not only did it smell good, but removed the grease easily.
