How to Have a Greener BBQ

The plastic free July challenge made me aware of just how many little plastic items are constantly a part of our lives, especially at a cookout. These are just a few examples of items that could be "greenified" at your next BBQ. The more you let your friends know, the more they'll start doing it …

Kelp Noodles Will Save The World

I always get excited to try new foods, especially when they are in noodle form. Kelp noodles, like the name should imply, are made from the giant kelp plants growing in the ocean. They are actually frequently called kelp forests because the grow so thick and dense. They are wonderful for the ocean and the …

A Tiny Way To Help Sleepy Bees

Bees a buzzing are a summer staple. While we may scream in fright of getting stung when they are near by, it would be much more scary to live in a world without them. The lovely little honey bee runs around flying from flower to flower collecting nectar and spreading pollen. This pollinates the tree …

Movie Night: Bag It

This is a new watch for me, even though the movie came out in 2010. Although I try to pay attention to what is the greener way to live, I was surprised by a bunch of things in this film and firmly feel it is a must watch for everyone. The movie is about how …

Egg White Face Mask

This an easy do-it-yourself face mask that uses a very simple house hold ingredients to give you spa quality results at a fraction of a fraction of the price (not a typo). All you do is crack an egg and separate out the whites. You can save the yolk and eat it later if you …

Oh how I wish it were a breezy summer night right now! SO, the set of eight includes these cool little solar screw on tops …

What The Heck Is Oil Pulling?

I fist learned how to oil pull about a year ago even though I'd heard the phrase much, much earlier than that. For some reason it sounded strange, technical, and maybe expensive like something you'd read about in Goop and only do at a high end zen spa. It's actually not that technical and strange …

Mind Your Own Bee’s Wrap

I'm always on the hunt for easy, fun ways to be a slightly better human. One such way is cutting back on single use plastic. It just ends up in the trash a few days later and is trashing the planet for basically ever - totally not awesome. Cling wrap makes life convenient by covering …

Turtle Snacks: Edible Six Pack Rings

So, I'm sure you've seen it - those terrible photos of sea creatures choking on plastic six pack rings. They get wrapped around necks and confused for food each and every time they end up floating out to sea. For me, it doesn't get sadder. I'm not sure why I feel so much for these …
