I'm Flipping Out

I heart Jeff Lewis. Called his office, talked to one of his guys, and Jeff sent me a signed photo with my name on it :) I'm a little starstruck.

Also, his business partner Ryan Brown of Brown Design Inc, added me to his list of "blogs that inspire" on his blog. Yay.

Crunchy Clean!


So my dear friend Tabitha introduced me to "Crunchy Clean" All Natural Laundry Detergent. I have yet to buy it, but will be shortly. It's all natural and earth friendly too, and in a high energy efficient washer, it'll take care of 320 loads ( for the large size ) and has other cleaning uses as well. There is a list of the scents on their website and descriptions of how each one smells too!
