I am a big fan of the Conscious Box and I have reviewed their monthly boxes several times over the last year or so. It's fun to get a mystery box each month and dig into random products that you have never tried...all of which are good for you (or the planet) in some way. I have found soap brands, green cleaners, nut butters, toothpaste, and many other products that I now buy regularly because I fell in love with them via the subscription box. Who has the time or money to try all the new eco … [Read more...]
I am Thankful
It is amazing how often we can let life's little problems blind us to all the wonderful things we have.

EverSave Deal for Abe’s Market!

They sell lots of natural and organic foods as well as all kinds of natural green products from beauty items to toys. It is very much like a Whole Foods store and I have shopped there several times. When I saw this deal I immediately bought it up and knew exactly what I would buy. I got two bags of my fave grain free cereal Nutcase Crunch, and since they are $19 a bag (yeah pricey!) I ended up getting one … [Read more...]
The Slow Movement: What Exactly Is It?
To understand what the slow movement is and what it could mean in our lives, we first need to take a look at what life is currently like for most of us today. We have schedules that are generally jam-packed full of things to do ranging from work, to errands, to chauffeuring kids to after school activities. Often times our schedules are so full during the week that it is often hard for some of us to plan meals and cook a decent dinner… which of course can mean purchasing take-out foods several … [Read more...]
