Sustainable living that's easy on the planet, easy on your budget, easy to do.
I cannot describe the newfound excitement for going to the loo. Going pee has become synonymous with joyride! I have two bathrooms. Each had a toilet. Those now have bidets, and I am having a blast telling everyone about them. (Be prepared for a few puns!) On top of being super eco-friendly, a bidet is … Continue reading Better Off With Bidets
Can we just admit that we don't need the gifts? C'mon... say it with me, "I do not need to buy presents." A few years ago my side of the family decided to end the gift-giving dance. It got to the point where I was giving someone a $50 gift card so that one person … Continue reading Give Up The Gifts

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
I love simple therapeutic pleasures. One of them is movies. God, I cannot get enough of movies. Good or bad. And I am happier when I have added a cold glass of local beer to that experience. Salty goods and pizza are my weaknesses. But I get a real kick from writing, especially this blog. … Continue reading A Day In The Life: Bulk Refill Pantry Shopping
Period. No, literally, periods are creating a damn mess of our planet. Well, not "the bleed", but rather those plastic-filled tampons and pads we use every month.
