Faith, Fitness and Charity = Dance Your Shoes Off!

As an Evangelical Christian, I love moving my body and exercising to encouraging, edifying tunes/music. Not only does it help me exercise for longer periods of time but it also builds up my spiritual wellness/life.

The song/music and words used for this Dance of Celebration is so contagious and likable that I am adopting it into my exercise time. (it's not for sale yet)

The actual presentation by Second Baptist Church, Houston, TX was in celebration of Jesus' Resurrection but to also donate shoes to the needy. I pray we all may be inspired creatively to celebrate our faith and be charitable this Easter Season.




Here is anther source for Faith-based exercise tunes and workouts

FEBRUARY 1, 2010:
EXTREME 18X Soap Nuts Liquid Concentrate wins NaturOli its second "Green Dot Award" for the unprecedented reduction of the carbon footprint, toxic chemicals and waste products created by the manufacture, packaging and transport of detergent products.

Extreme 18X is simply the most concentrated, effective and earth friendly laundry detergent and green household cleaner you will ever find. Period.


Only 8-OUNCES replaces 17-POUNDS of conventional laundry products.



NaturOli's work has been recognized by the prestigious "Green Dot Awards - Celebrating Excellence in Green Products and Services." In the jury's words, "NaturOli green detergents and cleansers. Use of saponin, which is derived naturally from soap nuts, is possibly the most significant green innovation in history for everyday household cleaning needs.



"Soap Nuts (also known as soap berries) is a fruit of ancient origins that contains saponin - a highly effective, all-natural surfactant. In simple terms - its a greener cleaner. Extreme 18X is a highly concentrated liquid detergent and soap produced from this saponin. It's fully sustainable from a renewable resource. Its carbon footprint from manufacturing, plastics used, and shipping is a tiny fraction of any detergent compared to. Frankly, nothing even comes close.



Enjoy the convenience and all the wonderful benefits of Soap Nuts with Extreme 18X. Don't stop with laundry. It's also excellent for many other household cleaning needs, plus superb for skin and hair care. Vegetable Glycerin and Olive Leaf Extract enhance Extreme 18X liquid laundry soap to be extra soothing for sensitive skin.



Important tip for first time users: Start fresh! Run an empty load or two (or with some old rags) using a couple squirts (about a teaspoon) of Extreme 18X. This is to purge your machine of built-up, nasty residues left by your old detergents. This will help you avoid having that old gunk from being released back into your good laundry. Your machine will also begin smelling like new again.



Our Soap Nut Liquid Extract is derived from Sapindus Mukorossi Soap Nuts - the world's finest. Extreme 18X is a NaturOli proprietary formula produced and bottled entirely in the USA.
