Greener Laundry Products

By Tiffany 10 Comments

The above picture shows some of the greener laundry products I have been testing lately. Laundry is one of those chores I absolutely despise. I wish green gadgets could change that but they don't. The only thing they do is make the process a little more planet friendly and that at times seems like a stretch in my opinion. Most "green" laundry detergents come in plastic bottles and that isn't so green at all. Soap nuts have to travel from around the world and they don't last long. Lots of laundry … [Read more...]

Eco Eggs – Natural Easter Egg Coloring Kit

By Tiffany 6 Comments

This year I had it in my mind that I was going to try and dye Easter eggs using our GLOB natural botanical paints. Only problem was I could not find them in all the stuff I have not yet unpacked in our move. So when I came across the Eco-Eggs Easter Egg Coloring Kit, I opted to just use that. The dyes are made using natural plant, fruit, and vegetable extracts. It includes three natural dyes (orange, blue and purple), a color chart for creating 6 colors, and instructions for coloring eggs. It … [Read more...]

Reduce BPA and DEHP Exposure by Eliminating Plastic Food Packaging

By Tiffany 13 Comments

A new study has been released by Enviromental Health Perspectives that addresses ways to reduce exposure to BPA and DEHP (bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate) by changing our dietary shopping practices. Essentially it evaluated exposure contribution by food packaging (canned foods and foods wrapped in plastic) and tested urine levels of BPA and DEHP metabolites before, during, and after "fresh foods" interventions. There were 20 participants in five families who were studied and they were self reported … [Read more...]

Fast & Compact the Sigg and LunchBots Lunch Box

By Tiffany 4 Comments

Are you caught up in a flurry of Back to School activity? Yeah, me too. Today I reached for the easiest and most simple lunch box options we have. Yes the Tiffin is very cool and the Laptop Lunchbox is a kid favorite but when you want easy and fast... you need a stainless steel LunchBot or a Sigg Midi Aluminium Box. They are easy to fill, compact so they fit inside the small pocket of most backpacks (just throw in a cool/warm pack too), and they are durable as well as stylish. Oh, and they are … [Read more...]

Non Plastic Storage Container Solutions

By Tiffany 11 Comments

When I was doing some deep cleaning in my kids bedrooms last week I decided to research some non plastic options for storage containers. We have several of the plastic ones already and certainly don't want to add to that number by buying more. So I decided to see what was out there that was non-plastic. Since I was looking for my kids rooms obviously some of these will be kinda kiddie looking. I ended up purging so much stuff that I didn't need to buy containers... I settled for thrift store … [Read more...]
