If you are looking for a safe, non-toxic cleaner and overall household helper, white vinegar is a near perfect solution. This humble substance can be used in a variety of ways to clean and disinfect your home. I love to fill my sink with hot water, pour in some vinegar and a cloth rag, and give the house a through cleaning. I love the smell and wish it would last longer... it just smells so clean without the smell of noxious chemicals. Here are some ideas for how to use vinegar in your … [Read more...]

Glass Water Bottles
I have known for awhile that glass water bottles were out there but up until I got a Lifefactory Glass Bottle recently, I had never tried one.

SHOPPING CART BASKETS
Cool product alert!! I am super excited to have found these in my Internet browsing this morning. While I do have more than enough reusable bags there are just times when I forget them.

Its not so impossible when you … [Read more...]
Warmables – Keeping Lunch Warm
Another day, another lunch box to review. This is a Warmables set and the general idea behind it is too allow you to pack warm lunches, perhaps even dinner leftovers, so that you can pack healthier lunches overall. The set comes with a BPA Free plastic container and lid, a cloth bag of cherry pits that retain heat, and the blue insulator pouch that keeps the heat inside the bag with the food. While I can't say that this is my favorite lunch set-up I can see reaching for it when I want to pack … [Read more...]
