Greener Christmas Ornaments

By Tiffany 1 Comment

Most of the ornaments you see in big box stores are made of plastic. The shelf life of plastic (uh, forever) makes it a poor choice for those who want to keep the holidays green. Plus there is just something so cold and unholiday-like about plastic. Better department stores are big on glass ornaments and that is a great alternative but they are pricier and generally not as favorable an idea for those with children and/or pets. Even storing them from year to year can mean wasted money via broken … [Read more...]

Staying Healthy and Boosting Immunity AFTER Halloween

How to Make Your Own Air Fresheners

By Tiffany 5 Comments

Air fresheners can be expensive and many of them are too strong or have a chemical smell that’s just not pleasant. Most of them have a smell that gags me anyway but sometimes I do like to spray a little something around the house to give it a festive smell. During the holiday season I stock up on Aura Cacia Candy Cane Aromatherapy Mist (LOVE that stuff!!) and other times I make my own. Making Gelatin Air Fresheners Step #1  Decide what type of scent you’d like to have. Lavender is calming, … [Read more...]

Eco Tip – Green Cleaning

By Tiffany 20 Comments

When I announced a giveaway for BabyGanics I had many commenters ask that I share some of my own personal cleaning recipes and methods. Well, I would be happy to do so. I actually LOVE cleaning. That sounds kind of strange but I really do enjoy it and I can't use harsh cleaners and chemicals because I will break out in hives. Give me a bottle of Windex and I will be puffy, itchy, and gasping for air in a few minutes. It is NOT pretty. So here is a run down of what I generally use to … [Read more...]
