I've been making my own natural cleaners at home for years now, and I wanted to share 3 of my favorite cleaner recipes. They're easy to make and only require a few ingredients each. And the best part is, they work wonderfully well without using any harsh chemicals.
We’ve become a lot savvier with reading the labels on our food products, but the labels on our skincare products can be even more confusing. What’s a phthalate? Ever heard of siloxane? And what’s hiding behind that catch-all ingredient called “parfum?”
Consumable gifts are great. They are green, usually come in reusable packaging or glass, and almost always guaranteed to be delicious. Well, I suppose that last point isn’t always true, but for the most part it is :)
The holiday season is upon us, and each year I become more thoughtful about the gifts I give. I want to support local businesses whose values align with ours and I want to share sustainable and eco products that I love.
I was asked what my Green Beauty Predictions for 2016. After thinking about it for a bit, I thought there may (and should) be more of a focus on quality ingredients, simplification, earth conscious choices and supporting local companies.
Recently we purchased a spray-free veggie box from local farm God’s Little Acre in Surrey BC. The box was *full* of amazing veggies. I looked at all the wonderful carrots, and thought… soup. I needed to make soup.
Nope, I’m not talking about wanting to avoid embarrassment because of a blunder. This is about keeping my face clean and healthy without having to use harsh cleansers full of irritating chemicals and questionable ingredients.
Halloween is such a fun time of year for kids and adults alike. Costumes, decorations, candy, candy, and more candy. I haveso many fond memories of Trick or Treating when I was a kid, and honestly my favourite memory was at the end of the night, dumping out all of the candy that I had collected, and sorting them into categories.
