Here is a run down of what this book lover has been reading... I recently finished two new audio books... Lost Among the Living - This is a spooky British novel or at least that is the setting. It was only a couple bucks via Audible's deal of the day and I took a chance. I ended up liking it quite a bit. Essentially it is about a woman widowed in world war two. To make ends meet she becomes a paid companion for her former husband's wealthy aunt and after some European travel they settle … [Read more...]

Frugal Friday – A Winter Utility Bills Challenge
I am looking for ways to save money this winter on heating costs. Last winter our peak bill was close to $600. That about knocked our socks off. It of course reminded us that we should have looked through a year's worth of utility bills prior to buying this house.

I am going to make a challenge of reducing the bill and get … [Read more...]
Organic Meal Delivery with Ion Nutrition

This can be pricey and though I … [Read more...]

There’s lots of advice available on how to encourage birds into your garden, but you’d perhaps be wise to start by focusing on one thing in particular: add a bird feeder to your garden and fill it with … [Read more...]
SKINNY & CO. COCONUT OIL
I have shared my deep and abiding love of all things coconut before. I cook with coconut oil all the time and I use coconut in lots of recipes. I use coconut to clean my teeth, I use coconut in my shampoo bars, I use coconut as a moisturizer, and I use it in many homemade essential oil products...it is a deep, deep love. My only big no-no with coconut oil is putting it on my face. It has a high comedogenic rating which makes it likely to clogging pores. I was super jazzed to try some new … [Read more...]
