amber, nuts & a giveaway

sounds like an exciting combination doesn't it! {grin}

remember these amber necklaces...

the girls have worn them for what seems like ever

they were their first necklaces

they've been with them through teething and runny noses

and accompany every "pretty dress"

We {love} them!

now it's mom's turn...

to wear amber with every pretty dress tank top and gaucho pants {grin}

and you better bet there will be amber around my neck when I'm not feeling well

I am in love with my new necklace...

it fits right in with my love of bold, unique & beautiful jewelry & natural remedies!

Are you wondering how these nuts work?

The soap nuts shell is rich in saponin an all natural surfactant. When mixed with warm water and agitation the shell releases this saponin which lowers the water tension making the water wetter and allowing the water to penetrate the fibers of your clothes and release the dirt more throughly. That's when the saponin in the water bonds with the dirt, washing it away from your clothes.

It's perfect. It works amazing. And it makes sense! Why did we have to go start making synthetic soap again?

Does God ever just knock your socks off with his amazing design!
