Do you have living plants inside your home? Just the other day I realized that while I made sure my garden was in good condition, I hardly had any living plants inside. When we first moved into this house a year and a half ago, I had two large houseplants inside, one very tall, reaching [...]
I used to spend a lot of money on commercial glass cleaners. Not only were they expensive and full of toxic chemicals, but they also never managed to do the job too well. Since I started to try and live a more earth-friendly lifestyle, I switched to eco-friendly products, which didn’t have the chemicals but [...]
One of the mantras in my household is “Wash your hands please”. When the kids get home from school, before mealtimes, before cooking, after playing, after touching the pets and so on. But when you’re out of the house, using water and soap obviously isn’t the most convenient thing. And the solution a lot of [...]
The obligation of doing our part for the environment lies on the shoulders of each and every person, never mind the age or the background. In this particular post, I would like to focus on college and university students. These years could be some of the best years of one’s life, but that doesn’t mean [...]

I love candles. I can’t get enough of them. While I have ample electrical lighting at home, there is nothing like a bunch of scented candles to create a relaxing atmosphere at any given time. More than the aesthetic and relaxing aspect of using candles, however, there is also the environment to consider. Candles do [...]
How often do you buy hair products at the supermarket or drugstore? Do you even check the labels to see how these products impact the environment? The average person rarely does that – usually, the most important thing is for the products to “do the trick,” right? Well think again. You may not be aware [...]
Have you been to the market lately? I just went earlier and the prices drove me up the wall! Even though I bought a lot of vegetables, which are supposed to be cheaper than meat products, I still ended up spending more than I wanted to. This got me to thinking that maybe I should [...]
I’m lucky enough to have hardwood floors in my home but between the kids’ spills and pet mess (we have an elderly dog and a new puppy), cleaning our wooden floors is a challenge. At a loss with what to use, I have simply been using plain water in a bucket with a couple of [...]
