THE ART OF AGING WELL

So glad you’re here

 
 
Celebrating cleaner homes, better health, and a birthday too.
 
 
 
Hey love,
 
It’s my birthday — and my newsletter’s anniversary too. Hard to believe it’s been two years, and I’m still finding my footing. This season always has a way of slowing me down just enough to reflect and reset.
 
And yes — I’m still swapping.
 
I spent October continuing my “Swap of the Month” series by clearing out and upgrading my cleaning supplies to safer, non-toxic alternatives that clean just as well without the harsh chemicals. I just forgot to tell y’all about it. Between travel, home projects, and life doing what it does, let’s just say my keyboard didn’t get the memo. But the good news? My floors and counters did.
 
So consider this my official “I’m back” message — with cleaner cabinets, safer supplies, and a reminder that progress never has to be perfect.
 
 
 
 
Wellness Tip
 
Your Simple DIY All-Purpose Cleaner (safe for stone)
 
This gentle cleaner cuts through grease and everyday messes without harsh chemicals — and it’s safe for stone countertops too.
 
 
Ingredients:
• 1 cup distilled water
• 1 tablespoon liquid castile soap
• 10–15 drops essential oil (optional — choose your vibe)
For a fresh, clean scent: tea tree + lemon
For a warm seasonal scent: orange + clove or cinnamon
• A clean spray bottle
 
Shake gently before each use and store in a cool, dark place.
 
 
 
Next month, I’ll be sharing what I swapped (or am still swapping) in November — here’s a hint: it’s something you use every single day… and it’s much closer to your skin than your kitchen counter.
 
Until then, I’m wishing you a peaceful, stress-free Thanksgiving season — and cheers to another year of life, lessons, and fresh starts, inside and out.
 
 
 
 

With so much love,

Ramona
