This is hard for me to admit but I have a little thing for sugar cereals. According to my hubby, it's not so little. Okay, stop judging me! In my defense we eat healthy around here (for the most part), make dinner at home, avoid high-fructose corn syrup, get eggs from our own chickens, and have read every Michael Pollan book since The Omnivore's Dilemma. So excuse me if I have the occasional late-night date with a Captain named Crunch. Or a Froot ... Read More
All Natural Body Wash
In case you haven't noticed, I kind of love making my own spa products. It feels like I'm beating the system by just saying no to industrial skincare. Plus I figure that if I care about what I put in my body (and I do) then how can I not care what I put on my body. Your skin is your largest organ and what you put on you you put in you so maybe it's time to start reading the labels on products from the drugstore as well as products from the ... Read More
Luxurious Lotion Bars
Well it's almost Valentine's Day and I keep thinking about lotion bars. Yeah, I know, that's a weird connection but hear me out. It just so happens that V-day is in the wintertime, I live in the high desert and it is especially dry this time of year. It's a drought everywhere including on my skin. I usually make heart shaped cookies for Valentine's Day but this year I decided to make heart shaped lotion bars instead. My stomach may be sad but my ... Read More
Anti-Monster Spray
Sometimes there are monsters in your room. Not always but sometimes. Usually they hide under the bed but the closet is also a favorite hangout as are dark hallways and stairwells. In the house I grew up in there was a monster that lived inside the toilet. It only came out when someone had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I never risked it and developed unbelievable bladder control at a very young age. But nowadays kids have it ... Read More
Chocolate Almond Joyful Cookies
Okay, so I am not a fan of Almond Joy candy bars. There, I said it and I'm willing to risk the backlash. The weird thing is that I love chocolate, almonds and coconut so in theory I should love Almond Joys too. But the strange texture and the sicky-sweet coconut make it nasty and inedible in my humble opinion (although there are those in my family who would disagree). In an effort to keep the peace I added almonds and coconut to my favorite ... Read More
Vapor Relief Bath Salts
One of my New Year's Resolutions this year was to take more baths. Not a very lofty goal, I know, but that makes it so much easier to accomplish, don't you think? I try to elevate the experience so it really feels like I'm treating myself to something special. I light a few candles, put on soft music and add bath salts to make the bath smell like a spa. Not only do my bath salts smell amazing, they also provide some great therapeutic benefits ... Read More
Cleaning Cabinet Makeover
A couple years ago I went on a kick to rid my house of toxic chemicals. Once I started reading the labels on my household cleaners, and then researching more on the internet, the kick turned into a mission. We complain about pollution in the environment but don't think twice about spraying toxic chemicals all over our homes under the pretense of cleaning. If you saw my post last week on All-Natural Soft Cleanser then you know that I have finally ... Read More
All-Natural Soft Cleanser
Over the last year I have replaced every cleaning product in my house with all-natural homemade versions. From a cleaning standpoint we were toxin-free and I was more than just a little bit proud. But deep down I was a little bit ashamed too because I had a one dirty little cleaning secret. Comet. I just couldn't give it up. I only use it for sinks but do you know what the most germ-filled place in your house is? Yup, the kitchen sink. Comet ... Read More
