Odours Be Gone!

Ok, so I'm loving all my Norwex products. I have lots of favourites. But my favourite today is the Odour Eliminator. Seriously, it's fantastic!

I've been having a stinky towel problem. The problem started about a month or so ago when I put some of my bath towels in with a smelly bath mat. The bath mat's stale and stinky odour permeated all of my towels. The towels were re-washed. Several times. Thought they were OK - so I put them away. But they start stinking up their other towel friends in the linen closet. And Mr. bath mat?? Still super-stinky too.

So, I finally got some odour eliminator. I first washed the guilty culprit - Mr. bath mat - with my Norwex detergent and a couple tbsp's of odour eliminator. And then I did the same with those poor bath towels. When they came out of the dryer, I buried my face in them - even the bath mat. And I smelled... nothing! Just pure freshness. I'm sold on this stuff.

You can also use this diluted and put in spray bottles as an effective air freshener or add a little bit to your mop water.

Fantastic :)

My Comfort Zone Expansion Project

I've spent the past several weeks contemplating a big decision. At least it feels big to me. And no - you Facebook commenters, it is not about whether or not to have 4 kids. (Besides, I think that decision has already been made... :)

No, this decision is more "career" based.

I attended a couple of Norwex parties over the last few months (courtesy of Rebekah) and both times came away with this overwhelming sense that, I could DO this. The feeling grew stronger over time and while I spent A LOT of time hemming & hawing over it all, I think I knew in my heart of hearts all along that I would end up taking the plunge and becoming a consultant.

For those of you who don't know me well, I'm not much of a risk-taker. I'm more of a play-it-safe kind of girl. And while this mentality has served me well in terms of keeping stress and trouble at bay, I would admit that it's been a little bit.... boring. Even lonely at times.

Of course, there have been times when I've stepped out of my comfort zone. Like when I was a worship leader at our church in Calgary (Erik & I have a good laugh when we think about this now), or when I tackled the task of teaching English to a class-full of Peruvians during our missions trip 7 years ago, or when I agreed to join family and friends on a ministry road trip in a small motorhome across the country with a 6-month-old baby (yes, that one really makes me laugh). But, since I've had more kids, it's been easy to settle into a very predictable rut. It's been easy to have a million excuses for not trying new things.

So, while I may or may not use this blog to promote the environmental, time-saving and financial benefits of Norwex cleaning products, this post is more about my journey of getting to this point. It's a decision that has become less about the products and benefits and more about God challenging me to try something new.

I'm not saying that God loves Norwex (though I'm sure I could make an argument for wise stewardship of our money, time & environment!) but what I am sure of is that God loves me. He loves me enough to gently coax me out of my rut and bring me a fresh challenge. A challenge that forces me to rely on him and trust in him (despite the fears and doubts that creep in); to believe that I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

So, yes. My journey to Norwex has been surprisingly... spiritual.

And now, with fear and nervous excitement, I will step forward and push the boundaries of this zone of comfort.
