Product of the Month - Norwex Fluff and Tumble Dryer Balls

Winter is here and laundry duties seem more effort than usual. Not only is it an effort to step out the back door into the cold shade and be blown away by the cool wind, but getting the washing on the line early enough to get it dried in one day. Are you struggling too?

As much as I like to save on power, our dryer has been getting a work out this last month. On my wish list this month is the Norwex Fluff and Tumble Dryer Balls.

Business of the month – Meet Katie Taylor, Norwex Consultant

I am mum to one cute little boy. The last year of my life has definitely changed the way I live my life. I am definitely a bit more of a cleaning nazi, and more aware of the products I useon my body and in my household.

I recently became a Norwex Consultant after winning a few products at my mums Norwex Party.

After taking the products home and testing them out I was sold. They were amazing – no toxic fumes, quick and easy to use, and clean, shiny finish. I decided to join up at my aunt’s party the following week.

Why Norwex
Norwex offers a range of personal and household products that radically decrease the use of chemicals in your home. The products are designed to save you time by decreasing cleaning time up to 75%!

The material products are made from high quality microfibers and contain liquid silver – a natural antibacterial agent. Unlike other microfiber brands, the silver never runs out.

Norwex also offers a 2 year warranty on most products and 60 day money back guarantee.

The three things I love most about Norwex, is that I can:
- protect my precious family from harmful chemicals
- do my part for the environment
- clean my house with amazing products and at a much faster pace.

If you would like to chat more or host a party to see the products in action and hear about how Norwex can change your life too, please give me a call on 0404 263 335.

Business of the month – Meet Becky from Strawlicious!  

I'm a mum to three little girls. We follow a wholesome, healthy lifestyle and are big lovers of green smoothies, fresh juices and healthy homemade slushies.  

I found that when making our numerous 'cocktails' that they could sometimes be on the thicker side so I looked to find a way to make them more enjoyable and easier to drink... and along came strawlicious!  

These eco-friendly, non toxic, dishwasher safe straws are used everyday in our home and my girls love them.  

Feel free to contact me if I can help you in anyway.  

Health and happiness, 
Becky
