No Book is Junk!

By Pharice Brown

Take a look at your book collection.  What do you see?  What was the last book you read?  Where is it?  Did you purchase a digital copy?  How many of them have you read from cover to cover?

No book is junk.  There are outdated copies, but they still have value and can be used for something.  Remember your favorite book?  Think someone else would enjoy?

Some books that are not current may be a little harder to find a home for.  If after attempting to donate them to a local organization you are not successful try contacting an organization like the Salvation Army and the Purple Heat.  They will let you know what items they accept and what the condition needs to be of each type.  They may also be able to refer you to other organization.  Some Salvation Army Stores collect household items, music, furniture, clothes, etc for thrift shoppers.  The benefit you will get, in addition to the warm and fuzzy feelings or course, you may be able to use your donation as a tax right off at the end of the year.   Check with your local tax professional for more information.

Don’t forget to ask friends and family if they would be interested in a good read.  This is a great way for books to travel to different readers.  A “community book”, it will never always have the same home it is always being shared.

So post pictures on your social media page and let others know what you have to offer.

~ Here’s to books having new homes.

5 Quick Clutter Reducing Tips You May Not Have Thought Of

By: Pharice Brown

We are all in a time crunch it seems these days. With the never-ending demands on your time how do you stay ahead of the curve? By doing a little more each day to remove clutter you save cleaning time. Cleaning does not always need to take hours when you begin to think E.C.O. You will be amazed how 15 minutes of straightening-up a couple times a week will make your home look and saves you time during your regular cleaning routine.

Here are some ideas to get you started on the path to being clutter free and gain more of your valuable time. I know you have more, post them below. We like sharing tips.

Pass along your subscription to publications you no longer read by calling the subscription department and change the name and address to have it delivered to someone else like a friend or family member.
Hang photographs on the wall to minimize tabletop clutter, preserve furniture longer, and save on cleaning time.
Keep a pair of scissors in the car and kitchen. They are a huge time-saver when opening bags, cutting scallions, roadside emergencies, or opening bakery boxes tied with string. They travel better than a knife.
Clean out your closet twice a year to support a local homeless shelter or friend them along. Not only will you have more closet space you may save money by adding your new-found fashions.
If you open and read all of your mail daily, you will save a pile up on dinner table.

Do You Know How to Disinfect Organically?

Soap and water cleaning is good at removing most germs from surfaces, properly disinfecting can effectively kill germs. The kitchen, bathroom, and nursery area should be kept in mind.

Vinegar is the go-to product when it comes to disinfectants. Add a little hydrogen peroxide in a dark colored spray bottle and store in a dark place and you are ready for any job. This mixture is very effective at destroying salmonella and ecoli bacteria.

You can also mix vinegar and baking soda to in the dishwasher and this is a good way to remove streaks.

4 Professional Tips to Dusting

Never dry-dust. Not only do dry clothes scatter dust, they can also scratch surfaces; which will eventually dull the finish. There are many natural products you can use to polish wood furniture. So options to consider: olive, coconut, and lemon oils. To get the best results, dampen cloth with the product of your choice and:

Dust from the top of furniture to the bottom.
Wipe the front and edges.
Follow the grain of the wood.
Gather dust in the cloth to avoid spreading it.

Clean Clothes without Detergent or Hot Water

Without using hot water or detergent, LaundryPure puts the technology of nature to work in the laundry room at home. Based on processes used for over a decade in hospitals, hotels, and Laundromats, cold water is infused with oxygen, peroxides, and other gases to bubble and lift dirt and grime from cloth fibers, leaving towels softer and fluffier, and clothes brighter and cleaner.

Interview with Ms. Green Clean Herself and She Has Tips!

Good evening, Pharice! It is such a pleasure to have you here today to talk about an important subject, cleaning the house. This is something that I’ve struggled with and in the past I have gone out to find resources to give me tips and tricks on keeping my home in a condition that is presentable at all times. Going to numerous websites to find small bits of information here and there and watching countless videos is definitely a pain! Can you tell the audience more about your book and how it can help women all over the world? Thank you for having me today. I am Pharice Brown and the title of my book is You’re a Bad Wife, Because You Can’t Clean the House? In many cases for women, there is a desire to maintain the home and watch after the children. This book is more than just about cleaning, it’s a way to inspire women to continue to be a source of nurturing and a beacon of light that instills love wherever it goes. These are things that are ingrained in a woman’s heart and mind. You know, a present wife and/or mother is something that is not only important to have as a component to a family, but is essentially the heart of the family, or metaphorical glue that holds the family together. If you don't have the desire to be a good wife then this book probably isn't for you - you'd be more interested in some sort of specific topic or some other purpose you've invented for yourself, but for the rest of womankind, I welcome you.

Nice! I love that! This book is empowering women to be their best selves as mothers and as wives. Tell us what inspired you to write this book? I wanted to substantiate the importance of keeping the home clean and how it serves as a foundation for the rest of a wife’s work. Clearly, housekeeping is just one of the many roles in a woman’s life. You’re a Bad Wife, Because You Can’t Clean The House? focuses on maintaining each room of the house and as a consequence, how to maintain one's marriage. When I say maintain each room, I essentially mean that this book will explore how to keep tricky sections of the house clean as well as how to make it presentable. It's also important to have emergency plans for whenever someone really important comes over. For example, part of being married is that you should expect surprise drop-ins not only from your own family but your in-laws as well. This means that you should always keep certain places clean, and the best way to do this is to have a day-to-day routine. With the help of this book, you can get yourself on the track to being a better wife and making cleaning as easy as breathing.

One of the reviewers of your book said: “This book can help the most clueless cleaner to the most skilled homemaker with tips and tricks to get your home looking hotel worthy. I highly recommend it!” Well, we agree. We’d like to recommend this book to all of our readers. Where can they get the book when they are ready to purchase? You’re a Bad Wife, Because You Can’t Clean The House? is available now in all major online bookstores: Amazon, Goodreads, iTunes, Barnesand Nobles, and Smashwords.

I have priced my book at a special price for your readers. They can purchase the book on Amazon.com right now for $2.99.

I think you’ve done a great job at helping readers, as well as myself, to see the importance of keeping the house clean and how this can impact the household overall. Thank you Pharice! Tell us a little bit about yourself? Well, I’m from Northwest Washington, D.C. I am President of a multi-industry firm, Pharice Brown & Associates, LLC, which offers a wealth of professional services such as environmentally safe cleaning, space management, and event planning. This is my first eBook which is essentially I provide what I’ve learned through my years of experience in a step by step guide to making your home mother in law approved! In addition, I’ve held a number of top level positions. A few of those are: Public Relations Director for the JD Donaghe 2016 Presidential Campaign, A&R Director and Manager, and Chairperson for We Women International, a 501(c)3 nonprofit which supports, empowers and encourages women to reach their utmost potential.

Wow! That’s very impressive. I am so excited and can’t thank you enough for the opportunity to interview someone with your credentials. In the event that we want to learn more about you and your writing, where can we find you? I am available on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and email.

Thank you for joining us Pharice Brown! We really appreciate you being here today to interview with us. We hope to have you back to talk about more topics that can help our readers!

Put down the lighter fluid and step away from the grill!

It is almost that time of year. The smell of the grill grabs your attention and sends your taste buds into a frenzy. Oh the smell, oh the sweet smell. But, according to The EPA, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), are listed as dangerous pollutants that damage the ozone and the traditional charcoal grill is the worst offender.

The desire Americans have to fire up the grill each Summer, releases over 14,000 tons of VOCs into the atmosphere. While using about 46,000 tons of lighter fluid to fire up the grill every year. So what do you do?

Put down the lighter fluid. By minimizing and even cutting out the use of lighter fluid can greatly reduce the grilling related pollution. Although self lighting charcoal is not much better for the air, switching to an electric charcoal starter or using a natural ignition agent like "fat wood".

"Fat Wood Fire starter consists of two parts: pinewood and the resin created in that very tree; It’s 100% all-natural. As the tree matures, this natural resin moves downward, collecting in the stump.

With this high concentration of natural resin, we don’t need to add chemicals or additives like so much of our competition." - Source: www.fatwood.com
Non-traditional methods of not using lighting fluid is also safer considering lighting charcoal is the cause of barbecue related injury. Now you can be safe and kinder to the environment without sacrificing that sweet smell of Summer.

~ Here's to environmentally friendly and safe grilling!
