A special thanks to ALL YOU magazine for the fabulous Arm & Hammer Gift Pack & issue of ALL YOU that I received for review purposes and to facilitate a giveaway for my readers.

Today hasn’t been the best day, but it’s slowly starting to get better.

The least of my problems was accidentally leaving a $7.50 package of bacon in the car for 3 hours. The whole wheat BLTs are going to have to wait for another day…and new bacon. The biggest problem of my day, well, I’m not going to mention it here, but it just brought my mood way down. This day started with my plans going out the window, worked up to an unexpected incident coming out of nowhere, and then the bacon thing just sent me over the edge. 😉

I went to grab the bacon to prepare it, so that I could create sandwiches that I was going to share in a later blog post. But the bacon wasn’t in the refrigerator. It was still in the trunk of our car.

Finding My Way Back to Happiness

Anyway, in spite of all of this, I’m starting to feel better, because I’m getting to talk about one of my favorite products today — baking soda!

Specifically, I get to talk about Arm & Hammer Baking Soda and the many ways you can use it in your home. Baking soda is wonderful because of the plethora of ways you can make use of it. You can use it to make homemade air freshener and then you can use it to clean your bathroom.

Just this past weekend, I used it to clean my bathroom counter, and you can see for yourself the terrific result of using Arm & Hammer:

*I’m sparing you the “before” picture. Trust me. It wasn’t pretty.

I used the designer Arm & Hammer shaker for sprinkling baking soda and a damp sponge (or rag) to clean the counter and surprise my husband with shiny bathroom sinks when he got home.

There’s no shortage of ways to use baking soda, and if you’re wondering how else you might use it, there’s even a book with simple recipes and tips for how you can use baking soda more often in your home.
