• First and foremost Girlawhirl's got to get her hands on some Earth-friendly cleaning products. Thankfully some of her absolute favorite cleaning products already are. The wonderful scents of Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Cleaning Products are what initially attracted her, but the environmentally safe ingredients, biodegradable liquids, packaging made from recycled materials and cruelty-free commitment (translation: safe for, and not tested on, animals) are what keeps her coming back for more.

• Girlawhirl is a big fan of Japanese scientist Dr. Masaru Emoto, and his study in which he monitored the effects of positive and negative stimuli on water molecules. Water labeled with caring words formed beautiful molecules, and water labeled with harsh words created ill-formed shapes. She likes to “Emoto-ize” her drinking water with a simple “love” label. So when she found all natural cleaning products produced under Dr. Emoto's principles she knew she had to snap them up. Seaside Naturals' non-toxic, biodegradable, Simple. Pure. Clean.^™ product line gives Girlawhirl the dirt fighting power she needs in a natural, healthy way. There's even a spray for her yoga mat. Using pure essential oils for fragrance, Girlawhirl's apartment is left smelling fresh, clean and most of all, healthy!

Simple. Pure. Clean.

• Once she's got her cleaning products, it's time for Girlawhirl to get down to business. She sees no sense in using Earth-friendly cleaning potions and sprays if she doesn't follow through with eco-friendly materials too. That's what only Seventh Generation will do. The White Paper Towels are made of 100% recycled materials (80% of which are post-consumer) and bleached in an environmentally friendly process. The Brown Paper Towels are unbleached, un-dyed, and made from 100% post-consumer recycled materials. And since she'll be disposing of her eco-conscious paper towels, she wouldn't feel right throwing them out in anything but Seventh Generation trash bags – which, of course, are made from 100% recycled plastic and are produced using 25% less energy than traditional plastic trash bags.
