A Day In The Life: Grocery Shopping II (Zerocery review)
Walking through a conventional grocery store sometimes brings me angst. I am surrounded by plastic. Have you actually stopped and looked around? Excluding the produce section (but ignoring the flimsy, dolphin-choking produce bags in that section), any aisle you're in is almost plastered by, in and with plastic. Picture the baking aisle: baking powder, cinnamon, … Continue reading A Day In The Life: Grocery Shopping II (Zerocery review)
What a Spanky Hanky!
Cold season. Allergies. Runny nose. Bloody nose. Leaky nose. Whatever the case, your nose will always have a reason to need an object to wipe it. But do we need to use disposable tissues? I say not! Hankies are what we use to dot our little noses in this house. Of all the sustainable behaviours … Continue reading What a Spanky Hanky!
Dressed To Impress (the planet)
Hands down, without a question, Christmas is my favourite time of year. Sing it... It's the most, wonderful, well, you get it! But it's true. I blare oldies. I decorate with vintage birds and bobbles. I get to wear ridiculous sweaters and sport oversized plaid earrings because anything plaid is acceptable during the holiday season. … Continue reading Dressed To Impress (the planet)
Wishy-Washy Cloth Is My Decisive Choice
I have very passionately written in the past about menstrual cycles and how to use reusable products to get you through those crappy, bloaty days in my post Bloody Disaster. I was given the opportunity to review Wishy-Washy Cloth reusable pads.* Granted, I have only used two types of reusable pads in my life, but … Continue reading Wishy-Washy Cloth Is My Decisive Choice
Purify With Plants (and not chemical sprays)
Temperatures inside rise as the ones outside dip. It's not really the season to open the windows and get in all that fresh air. I know your place is going to start to get a little stuffy, but step back from the (synthetic) air fresheners. Instead, look to gorgeous, green and clean plants. Here are … Continue reading Purify With Plants (and not chemical sprays)
Pitcher Perfect
The last blog I posted was a big, long post. It was on sustainable grocery shopping. So I thought it was good to send out a simple post to my readers about a quick, easy tip. One tip that could be done as soon as you're done reading this post. How often do you take … Continue reading Pitcher Perfect
A Day In The Life: Grocery Shopping
You guys asked for it. Here it is. A Day In The Life series post on grocery shopping. And it's a doozy. This is my longest post yet. But really, grocery shopping isn't a little task on life's to-do list. We do it each and every week. Bleh. If there was one adulting duty I … Continue reading A Day In The Life: Grocery Shopping
Cool Weather? Turn Up The (oven) Heat
Weather's cooling down, and it's so nice. I love layering up, yet still wearing my Birkenstocks. I look forward to those hot morning cups of coffee a little more. In the daytime I still have the windows open because the air smells so fresh and it feels so crisp. The house can cool down pretty … Continue reading Cool Weather? Turn Up The (oven) Heat
Halloween Is Scarier Than You Think
Halloween is one of the cutest holidays ever. Newborns in little skeleton onesies. Toddlers in one-piece animal suits. Kiddos emanating childhood dreams through costumes. And for me, this holiday is one of my faves: chocolate bonanzas, carving pumpkins, Ghostbusters on TV on repeat, Hallmark Channel movie sets at fall fairs and corn fields. Just things … Continue reading Halloween Is Scarier Than You Think
