Your lifestyle is a habit. Is swapping to environmental products worth the effort?
I would say “Yes”, of course I would say that!!
I did not really think too much about changing my routine until I became a Grand-ma and then ********POW********** it hit me right there!! I didn’t want to be a Grandma who just gave Premium Bonds, I wanted to give something with a bit more umph! – Change the World… well you have to start somewhere!
When you have found a personal reason for doing something, you would normally stick to it. This could be to loose weight, stop smoking, go to the gym 3 times a week or something smaller like do the washing up before you go to bed?!?
So, I had found my personal reason, my ‘why’ – Miya.
So now what, where do I start?
Trying to be realistic, which makes a change, I looked for a network marketing company which had the ethos I was looking for. There were many I could choose from, but one ticked all the boxes for me – 1,000 products, 200 brands all eco and ethical – I was sold. Wikaniko. A brilliant British company.
During that 7 years, I learnt a lot from the owners, other traders and their suppliers. Sadly, this company is closing and is why I have to pivot my business earlier this year.
Also, perhaps more importantly, whilst I was out selling the products, I was speaking to the public, potential customers, listening and learning about their concerns and the overwhelm they were facing.
The most asked question, was “where (or) how do I start”?
My answer was the same to everyone – Just do one thing, don’t look at the whole, just one piece, get used to your new habit and then move onto the next, and the next….. It doesn’t matter how long it takes, you are doing something and that is all that matters.
The most common areas people want to start with are either the kitchen or the bathroom. Limescale is an obvious concern, it covers anywhere with water!! There is an easy solution to this, but not many people know about it…. Did you know that magnets prevent limescale? Do not ask me for the scientific explanation, something to do with when the water passes the magnets, something is altered and it is as simple as that!!

This is a great thing to start with. Once you have popped it in the cistern (or the washing machine or dishwasher) you can forget about it!! Doing something to make a difference and not having to do anything!! How easy is that? Not needing bleach has got to be a great thing, surely?
I have always said to people that I don’t “do” stress nor do I “do” complicated in my life. This may be because I have Multiple Sclerosis, I don’t know. Stress of any kind is not good for your health. If I get stressed I fall asleep, that’s simple, don’t stress!! You can make anything as simple or as complicated as you want to. With something as important as changing to a more environmentally friendly way of living, it has got to be a habit that is worth trying to get into, for your health and the future.
