My Story


Everyone has a story.  Some are more interesting then others.  I can’t say that mine is interesting but it has been full of twists!  I used to be a Project Manager in construction.  I spent lots of time on construction sites arguing with boys.  Yes, I said boys because if you have ever spent a long period of time on a construction site then you know they are boys.  Full of pranks and silliness.  Our economy took such a hit that so many of us were left looking for different jobs and careers.  Coupled with that and health reasons I took some time off to be with my family.  Just so you know when you cut your income in half things change a little.  So, I was on a mission to do things better and cheaper for my family.  I started making laundry soap.  Yes, I said laundry soap.  It may sound silly but it sure helped with allergies and it was a cheaper alternative.  I was so excited I couldn’t stop bragging about it.  As you can guess, not everyone was as excited about laundry soap as I was.  Next came personal care products.  No more expensive creams, scrubs, etc.  I started making them all and trying to find better ways.  The deeper I got the more I loved the challenge and satisfaction.  Then the fateful day came that my husband always tells everyone about.  The day he came home from work and I sat him down to let him know I would not be returning to the workforce.  The good man that he is, took a deep breath after his heart began to beat again, and said ok.  As I continued making more products the interest peaked in my family and friends.  Thanks mostly to a very supportive sister that would kick me in the pants anytime I tried to back out.  Before I knew it Enchanting Origins was born.  I know it all sounds glamorous but I am here to tell you it was more hard work and chaos than glamor.  There are days I left the kitchen looking like I was rolled around in powder and splashed with oil.  Lots of oil.  I looked like bride of Frankenstein on a good day.  If only the guys from the site could see me now?  They would have a field day.

 Are you tired of worrying about all the chemicals you bring into your house everyday just to clean?   I know I have been worried about this for a while.   Especially as the kids become teenagers I have to wonder if the chemicals were what made them teenagers! EEK! 

We have been working with our own handmade cleaning products for a while.  In our house we use homemade laundry soap, dishwasher soap, dryer balls, cleaning solutions, window cleaners and weed killer.  Pretty much anything you need we make at home.  The kids sometimes feel like they are living in an apothecary. 

Some of these products are easy to make some take a little more time.  I have found that these products end up being well worth the time.  Our family has a lot of experience with skin allergies.  We have tried many products over the years and I am now finally happy with our concoctions.  I feel better knowing the products our family is using are safe and effective.  So, we are expanding our beauty line to include a home cleaning division.    These products will now be available to you and your family.  The following are just a few of our first cleaning products available.


 Natural Laundry Soap
Our laundry soap is a natural, laundry soap with no fragrances, dyes or harmful chemicals.  The clothes come out smelling fresh and ready to go.  I like to use a vinegar rinse instead of fabric softener.  Just a splash will do!

  
Wooly Dryer Balls
Our wooly dryer balls are a great replacement for dryer sheets.  Unlike dryer sheets, our dryer balls do not contain any harmful chemicals.  They are great for softening your clothes and reducing dryer time.  Plus they can be fun to toss around.  Except when the dog thinks you are trying to play fetch and then you might have a fight on your hands.



Natural Dishwasher Soap
Our dishwasher soap is a natural dishwasher soap that works hard cleaning your dishes but is still safe for your family.  I like to know the utensils that go into our mouths aren’t full of chemicals.  No one wants to be radioactive.  Just add vinegar to your rinse cup instead of the expensive rinse agents.  Sparkly, clean dishes!
