Hello Followers,

It is time to start a new week, happy Monday!

What is a tree?

A place to hug.

No matter how big or small the tree is, it is always a friend.

So, when you go ahead and give a tree a big hug, it is not just about feeling close to nature.

You are doing something cool for your health.

You are helping to lower your blood pressure!

It is like this simple hug can dial down those stress hormones, which is a big win for your heart.

Plus, it makes you feel calm and peaceful.

Making a habit of hugging trees could really be a secret weapon for keeping your heart ticking along nicely.

Can You Use Dishwasher Tablets to Clean the Shower?

There is a satisfactory feeling that comes with finishing a cleaning project, the kind that leaves your appliances sparkling clean and your house smelling fresh.

But most of the time, the only feeling that comes with cleaning the bathroom is dread.

The scrubbing, the rinsing, the strong-smelling products.

It is a lot.

Here is an inexpensive bathroom cleaning trick: dishwasher tablets can help remove soap scum.

How to Use Dishwasher Tablets to Clean the Shower

You will need a handful of materials for this hack; a pressed-powder dishwasher table, warm water, and rubber gloves.

This cleaning hack may be cheap, but it will require vigorous scrubbing.

Once you have assembled materials, dunk the dishwasher tablet into warm water, letting it saturate before scrubbing away at the soap scum on the walls, fixtures, and glass in your shower.

This may take some time depending on the state of your shower, and you will have to experiment on what scrubbing motions and methods work best.

After some time, rinse the area off with hot water, and repeat the process with any leftover scum.

That is all there is to it!

This will only be used by a couple dishwasher tablets, so what do you do with the rest?

Get rid of the grease and grime in your oven.

Does It Really Work?

The short answer is yes, but it depends on two things.

How bad the soap scums are in your shower and how much patience you have.

Because dishwasher tablets are small, they cover a very small surface area when you are on your hands and knees scrubbing away.

It might take some time for the surfaces to sparkle again, but if you are ready to put in the effort, the tablets should clean up your shower without breaking the bank.

Welcome to this guided 11-minute grounding tree meditation by Sally MacGowan to cultivate a sense of peace, presence, and connection with nature, and to feel gratitude for the beauty and complexity of the natural world.

Trees have always played a vital role in human existence, from providing oxygen and food to offering shade and shelter.

Studies have shown that spending time in nature, particularly among trees, can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.

One way to tap into the healing power of trees is through meditation, where we aim to connect with trees on a deeper level, not just as physical objects but as living beings with their own energy and consciousness.

The grounding ness, beauty, resourcefulness, expansiveness, and ancient wisdom of trees is a source of inspiration!

Until Tuesday, tree hugging is a way to show our appreciation of the natural world around us, and it is also a great way to help keep trees alive, healthy, and strong.
