Are you looking for non-toxic hairspray? A hairspray that doesn’t make you shudder every time you spray it into your otherwise clean and healthy bathroom air? Many hairsprays have a variety of chemicals in them that may make our hair look great but aren’t so great for our bodies. If you’re looking for something that’s …
I live in South Texas, and let me tell you, there is nothing quite like getting in the water on a scorching hot summer day. Summer here seems to last from early March through late October, and we practically live in our swimsuits. Have you ever thought about what a swimsuit is though? Or how …
I love a good cup of tea. I think I got into it when I was pregnant and couldn’t have as much caffeine. The warm feel of a cup of tea can be just as wonderful as coffee. I’m not alone in thinking this. In fact, tea is the second most consumed beverage on the …
2020 was the year of hand-washing and hand-sanitizing. To be completely honest, I’ve never washed my hands as much as I did in 2020. Thanks, Coronavirus. The fun isn’t over though, and most of us are still washing our hands more than ever. Hand soaps were flying off the shelves in 2020, and they and …
It took me a long time to find the best natural concealer. After attempting to leave a world of makeup and beauty products that was filled with phthalates, BPA, and other bad-for-you chemicals that made me wince every time I brushed them onto my skin, I had a hard time finding something that worked and …
Non-stick cookware has been a kitchen staple for decades. It’s on nearly every wedding registry, and every family seems to have their favorite brand, favorite type, and favorite piece. It’s the old-reliable, and it’s truly no wonder why. I mean, it’s absolutely amazing to cook with. You can cook scrambled eggs with little to no …

Since you use dish soap daily in order to clean your dirty dishes and baby items, it’s …
Many toys & children’s products simply aren’t safe. This is what I’ve learned to look out for when buying toys, both for my kids and for others.
I can’t believe it, but we just got rid of all of our non-stick cookware. I hadn’t planned to do it yet. It was actually going to be one of the last things we replaced… mainly because we had a REALLY nice set that was given to us when we got married, and I loved …
We moved into our house about three years ago. We love it. We searched and searched (and searched and searched and searched) for the perfect home for our family for MONTHS, and at the very end, after we had given up and started to give in on some of our “must-have’s,” this one just sort …
When I started with the organic movement, food was the first thing that changed in our house. To be honest, I hadn’t really thought about all of the other toxins that could be in our home, but I knew that all of the processed foods in our pantry definitely weren’t good for us. It actually …
Plastic is all around us. I recently read a book by Michael Sanclements called Plastic Purge. (It’s a terrific book. You should give it a read!) In one of the chapters, he goes through an average day in our modern world. It’s something like this… We wake up to the sounds of a plastic alarm …
