GREEN SPRING CLEANING!

By Sheryll Alexander

We love using green products in the kitchen and all around the house, especially for spring cleaning. This year, why not take a hands-on class in a private Laguna home with a mother of five who specializes in all things natural?

Chelle Goodfriend, whom we have known for years as a caring health educator and top notch herbalist, is also a clinical aromatherapist and owner of Gaia's Garden Bath & Botanica, which offers organic, handmade, pampering and nourishing soaps and body care goodies. Now she is bringing her vast knowledge of all things natural to these private classes.

So, on Apr. 4 from 7-9 p.m and for just $25, you get to spend time with this wonder woman learning how to make inexpensive and toxic-free cleaning products. During the class and using just a few simple ingredients, you will make:

·         glass cleaner

·         all-purpose anti-bacterial cleaner

·         room deodorizers, air freshener

·         cleanser (for tubs, showers, pots n pans)

·         laundry detergent

·         toilet cleaner

·         furniture polish

·         drain cleaner

Participants will leave with a full bottle of anti-bacterial cleaner to take home. To register online, visit here
