Easy Ways to Go GreenWith so many ideas out there on how to make our planet happy :-) I thought I would look into it a little more and find out some more things that maybe some of us might now know about. A good place to start is the bathroom. Our shower’s and even our toilet’s use so much water up. It may cost you to buy a new shower head and a new water saver toilet, but in the end, you will be saving money,... Live EarthWhat a great thing to do. All of these bands come together to support our planet. I believe the fight for our earth has finally started. Everything takes time, and we are running out of that. With all of the big names that played on Live Earth day, I believe many more people are even now more aware of what is happening then before. I thought it was fantastic the commercials they had during the break... Get Healthy – Plant a Family GardenThere are many of us that grew up with our own gardens, that we helped weed with our parents or grandparents. It is rare now a days for someone to have a garden. Backyards have become so much smaller. Life in the city makes it very hard to grow one. For some of us though, there really is no excuse, except time I guess. We all know how much healthier it would be to eat vegetables from out or our own...

The first time I heard about it was when the three wise men brought gifts to Jesus. I never thought much of the oil until I bought some of it as well as other oils. I have done some research on the oil to find out the benefits from it. It has a few different smells to it. It’s fresh, woody, spicy and fruity. It is known for its very powerful... Keep Toothbrushes Out Of Our Landfills.We are all told to replace our toothbrushes every three months, or earlier. Ok, that make sense, but has anyone really thought about the waste and addition it has added to our landfills. It may seem like a small thing, but if you sit back and think about how many people there are in this world and how many toothbrushes get thrown away, it doesn’t seem like such a small deal anymore. There are... Memory Almost Full
How exciting is this. Paul McCartney’s new CD “Memory Almost Full”. I think its pretty amazing to see Paul at the age of 65, coming out with such great music just like he always has. I have listened to most of the songs, and even find they sound a lot like The Beatles themselves. It’s the same feeling and effect for sure. Paul is so musically gifted, and in my opinion he is... Salt Water Instead of Chlorine In Our PoolsThe traditional way to clean our pools is with chlorine. It cleans the water, keeps it clear and helps keep algae away. There are many of us though that get sore blood shot eyes, and skin irritations from swimming in the chlorinated swimming pools. Our children ingest the water by accident while swimming or just for fun when they are playing water games. Chlorine is toxic. These things aside, the... Natural Remedies And Treatments For AllergiesWhen allergies strike, most allergy sufferers head to the drugstore where they purchase an antihistamine. They take it, and soon their symptoms begin to subside. They’re all set until the next outburst. Over-the-counter antihistamines are effective but unfortunately, taking them often causes unpleasant side effects such as drowsiness and a feeling of lethargy. If you’re tired of feeling tired when... The Power of Earth WormsWorms help plant matter to decompose. They help make rich fertilizer, and improve the soil. Tiny little worms do all of this. Using the soil that worms have been in, help increase the rate of growth in Tomato plants, Pepper Plants, Marigolds and others. Most of us already have worms in our gardens, but there are other ways to make sure your soil is just how you want it. It can take some time, to get... Ten Easy Ways to Reduce Your Ecological Footprint.How can we make a difference??? When you go to the grocery store, instead of plastic bags, purchase some of those plastic bins, or cloth bags work great too! It is pretty wild how much plastic and paper is being used just at the grocery store alone. The clothes dryer. We all use them. They are fast, and hanging our clothes on a drying rack just seems like to much work to most of us. If possible it... Are Your Personal and Household Products Safe?Many of us out there feel drawn in my commercials, and adds that we see for Personal and Household Products. The colorful boxes, the flashy commercials, the beautiful people we see using these things. But have we really sat back to take a look at how these things can be affecting our health and our families health? We go to clean our bathrooms, kitchens, etc. and we pull out the Pin Sol, cause we think... The Facts: Cloth Versus “Disposable” Diapers.Environmentally, it is the best thing to do for our earth, and personally, having cotton on my babies skin, rather then disposable material, was one of the best decisions I ever made, next to nursing. I must confess though, I did use disposables when I travelled, and at night when I put them to bed. If all of us used cloth diapers, during the day, then I really think it could make a huge impact on... Beautiful Toe Socks!If you have never tried toe socks, then now is the time.

The first place we run, is the the isle that has the product with the most Deet in it. But have we really looked into what Deet can really do to us and to our children. Deet can actually peel paint, and can even melt plastic. That does not sound very safe to me. 56% of Deet that is applied to... |
