Holiday Cleaning with Savon Noir 100% Natural All-Purpose Olive Oil Liquid Soap
With getting ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow, the two things that are top of mind for me right now are cooking and cleaning. And I have to say that I’m completely thankful for my Savon Noir 100% Natural All-Purpose Olive Oil Soap for making my cleaning so much easier this year. This natural house cleaner is amazing! It does it all from floors (including wood) and tiles, bathtubs, dishes and grease to laundry, windows, vehicles, gardens, and even pets. I use this natural all-purpose home cleaner for everything! I first tried Savon Noir... Read The Rest →
Saturday Cleaning with Mrs. Meyer’s
The weekdays are pretty busy for me so Saturdays have become my go-to days for cleaning. Yes, I’m in the midst of cleaning right now and stopped to take a break. Over the past 6 months, I’ve been doing Saturday cleaning with Mrs. Meyer’s Bluebell and Rosemary eco-friendly natural household cleaners and laundry detergent. My kitchen, dishes, bathrooms, countertops, and clothes are left naturally clean and smelling pleasantly fresh. Every time I think back to cleaning with traditional cleaners growing up, I’m so thankful that I’m no longer gagging from... Read The Rest →
Talking Pacifica Island Vanilla & Indian Coconut Nectar Reed Diffusers & Soy Candles
Pacifica’s Island Vanilla is “inspired by the unique magic of Tahitian vanilla with a sensual blend that sets sweet and sultry vanilla absolute with honey-jasmine notes and a touch of fruitiness, against a deep and beautiful base of tea.” The Indian Coconut Nectar is a “inspired by travels to faraway destinations with a warm, sultry blend of coconut and delicate creamy vanilla that is pure ambrosia.” Both scents smell delicious in their own right and immediately take my senses to a distant magical land. The natural reed diffusers give off a nice... Read The Rest →
Gaiam Organic Cotton Thick & Thirsty Towel Set
I really like Gaiam’s Organic Cotton Thick & Thirsty Towel Set. They’re soft, tightly woven with premium long-staple 100% organic cotton, have a Chlorine- and softener-free finishing, and created with low eco-impact dyes. One of the first things I observed about these organic towels when I used them is, of course, their thickness…and yet they’re not heavy. They wash well and are very absorbent. Gaiam also has a great selection of colors to choose from. These organic towels do hang a little longer than the average towel which I especially... Read The Rest →

Mountain Rose Herbs Epicurean Organics Smoked Sea Salt, Rainbow Pepper Blend & Pumpkin Seed Oil
I cook with Mountain Rose Herbs Epicurean Organics Smoked Sea Salt, Rainbow Pepper Blend, and Pumpkin Seed Oil just about every day and have seen a definite enhancement in flavor within my dishes since I started using them. The natural Smoked Sea Salt tastes great without being too smoky and the Organic Rainbow Pepper Blend adds just the right amount of “kick.” I had never cooked with Organic Pumpkin Seed Oil before trying Mountain Rose Herbs. I’ve found it to really bring out the flavors of the food I’m cooking extremely well... Read The Rest →
The Many Uses of Nutiva USDA Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Nutiva’s USDA Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil has so many uses and is a staple in our household! It’s certified organic and non-GMO, made from fresh coconuts (not dried copra), cold-pressed, unrefined, chemical-free, unfermented (other brands wait more than 10 hours between chopping the coconut and pressing the oil, adversely affecting flavor), unbleached, undeodorized, unhydrogenated, and contains no solvents. It’s also pure white in color like fresh coconut, tastes like fresh coconut, has a fresh coconut fragrance, and made with Nutiva’s Fresh Is Best commitment. I use Nutiva’s USDA Organic Extra Virgin... Read The Rest →
Use Less Plastic, Get More Bag with EcoZip
I found these EcoZip multi-compartment bags at my local Central Market for $3.99 and had to get them. You can store two separate items in them or unzip the middle to use the entire bag. They seal and unzip really well, keep my food items fresh, are recyclable, BPA free, and come in 3 different sizes. EcoZip even gives you different usage ideas (with photos) on their website. Use them for your leftovers, wet and dry snacks, travel (makeup/personal care products), pre-prepped foods, etc. I’m definitely using less plastic and getting more bag since I started...
