Ditching Tampons for the Softcup

By Tiffany 8 Comments

This post brought to you by Softcup. All opinions are 100% mine. When it comes to our periods women have other options, beyond the traditional tampon or sanitary pad, though you would not think so by looking at most store shelves. Tampons and pads reign supreme and yet both have so many issues, healthwise and environmental, that it makes sense to look at the other options. Pads are sumpremely uncomfortable (like wearing a diaper), they leak, and they end up in landfills in mass quantities. … [Read more...]

The Case for Barefoot Running

By Tiffany 17 Comments

This is not a book I would typically review here but It has been so helpful to me I thought I would. A couple months ago I started running again.. after over a decade long hiatus. When I did take it up again I was wearing Skechers Shape-Ups and at first I liked the extra work that the shoes seemed to heap on my calves but then my feet and legs started to hurt badly after each run. After I was forced to take several days off due to this I decided to go to the library and see if they had any … [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...]

Weekend Project & Green Lovo Paint

By Tiffany 7 Comments

This weekend hubs and I tackled a small project. In our hallway off the kitchen we have 4 big storage areas. Three of them had been converted into much needed pantry space. The 4th cabinet was left empty so it was basically a 5 foot tall by 2 feet deep cabinet for various stuff like fly swatters, a broom, curtain rods, vacuum attachments, etc. Not only was it ugly IMO it was kind of useless. We really needed the space for food so we did a quick remodel today.  After cleaning it out we painted … [Read more...]

3 Of My Favorite Books

By Tiffany 6 Comments

My hubby and I were doing a mini re-model project in my office over the weekend. I was pulling books off the upper shelves to clean and prep them for paint and came across a few gems that I absolutely love and wouldn't do without in my personal library. Since they were a hair's width away from the ceiling I don't drag out the ladder to pull them down and reference them as much as I used to but after perusing them today, while hubby painted, I knew I had to write about them. Despite the fact … [Read more...]
