Would you use a deodorant if it had this label on it? I would hope not! But did you know that if you currently use deodorant that is not all-natural, you are exposing your body to dangerous chemicals on a daily basis? I challenge you to Google the ingredients list found on your deodorant. I guarantee that the scary facts you learn about those ingredients will have you at least considering a switch to a much healthier alternative: all-natural ...

Eco-Friendly Friday: Biokleen Floor Cleaner Review & Giveaway
I love a clean house! And as part of my resolution to incorporate Eco-Friendly products into my household, it only makes sense to begin replacing my mainstream cleaners with greener choices like Biokleen. This week, I had the opportunity to try Biokleen’s Citrus Essence Multi-Surface Floor Cleaner. Natural and effective, it is safe to use on all sealed and water-safe floors such as Hardwood, Marble, Linoleum, Ceramic Tile, Laminate, Stone, and ...
Eco-Friendly Friday Part One: Nancy’s Organic Whole Milk Yogurt (Review)
This week, Eco-Friendly Friday has a yogurt theme. Part One is all about Nancy's Yogurt - the Organic Whole Milk in "Plain" flavor. Part Two (You Can Make Your Own Organic Yogurt in a Crockpot) can be seen BY CLICKING HERE. My family LOVES yogurt. We ended up trying Nancy's Yogurt brand this week on accident -- I sent my husband to the store with a grocery list, and it is funny how he has no sense of brand loyalty and often brings home ...
Mark For Goodness Face Antioxidant Skin Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 (Review)
I was excited to try the Mark For Goodness Face Antioxidant Skin Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30. It sounded great - full of antioxidants from blueberries, chocolate, lemons, and herbs. It is hard for me to find a face lotion that works for my combination/dry winter skin, but I gave this one a try. For 2 days. That was as long as I could bear to keep testing it. It burns my skin! I have sensitive skin, so other people might not experience ...
Going Green With Easy Lunchboxes (Review)
I have been using my new Easy Lunchboxes lunchbox system to pack my son's lunch for a week now...can I just tell you how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!? Packing his lunch is so simple to do - the Bento-style container has 3 separate compartments for me to just pop in whatever he is eating that day, snap on the lid, and my work is done! And when he comes home, all I have to do is place the dishwasher-safe containers into the dishwasher...so easy to ...
GroVia Shell Set, Cotton Inserts & Biosoakers (Cloth Diaper) Review
My son started wearing GroVia cloth diapers this past summer while we were on a trip to visit family. The GroVia outer shells can be used more than once each day with a fresh insert as long as the shell doesn't get soiled. I chose GroVia for our trip because these diapers have the option of using biodegradable disposable inserts that I knew would make doing diaper laundry away from home a lot easier, and it did. Once we got home from our trip, ...
Gilligan & O'Malley Maternity/Nursing Tank Review
I have passed the halfway point in my pregnancy, and am at the stage where I am filling out the maternity clothes with my growing baby bump, and am also needing to find comfortable maternity bras to wear. Normally, I'm a huge commitment phobe in the bra department. But last week, I was desperate for a comfy bra and ready to take the chance on anything that said "maternity" on it. I happened to be at Target and could find only one such option: ...
The Little Red Hen Would Love My Nutrimill!
Remember the story about the Little Red Hen? She planted and harvested her own grain, then had to take it all the way to the miller so he could grind it into flour before she could bake her delicious bread and feed her friends. If only the Little Red Hen had known about the Nutrimill grain grinder, she could have ground her own flour in the convenience of her own home. I think about that story almost every time I use my Nutrimill grain ...
Full Circle Farm Review – organic produce
A couple months ago, my husband surprised me with a subscription to Full Circle Farm. They are a family farm in Washington that has expanded into a network of providers of healthy, delicious, organic foods to communities in Washington and Alaska. I live in Alaska, where fresh produce is like gold - literally. As in, it is valuable and scarce! Most of our fruits and veggies spend who knows how much time being transported, so even though I pay ...
