  • I Made Pickles!

    Posted on Friday July 3rd, 2009 at 10:54 in healthy living, whey, pickling, lacto-fermentation, nourishing traditions, fight back friday

    Yay for me! I happen to love pickles; in fact, I used to eat my grandma's pickles pratically by the jarful and then drink the juice when I was done. My grandma used to be so worried that I was going to get a stomach ache, but it never happened (than...

  • Want to be healthy and lose weight? Eat more fat!

    What?! She's telling me to eat fat in order to lose weight and be healthy? Is she crazy? Well, yes, but that's beside the point.Think about it... the increase in obesity has, oddly enough, coincided with the emphasis on polyunsaturated fats, such as...

  • No More Soda!

    Posted on Tuesday June 2nd, 2009 at 17:19 in fitness, healthy living, kefir, chemical free, nourishing traditions

    We all know that soda is bad for us. High Fructose Corn Syrup, calcium-leaching carbonated water, and artificial colors and flavorings are just a few of the reasons I avoid soda as much as possible. However, it seems that no matter how bad I *know* ...

  • Super Yummy Brown Rice

    Posted on Friday April 3rd, 2009 at 13:29 in healthy living, weston a price, nourishing traditions, sally fallon

    For years, I've known that brown rice was better for you than white. However, my husband hated it - and I'd be lying if I said I enjoyed it as much as white. Recently, I've been doing some reading about eating a "whole foods" diet, and came across in...

  • "These Aren't the Droids, er Toxins, You're Looking For"

    Posted on Thursday March 19th, 2009 at 09:15 in healthy living, chemical free, toxic cosmetic ingredients

    It really bothers me that big business and MONEY control the information that we receive. From articles that assure us that sugar doesn't actually do anything at all to children, to ads on television telling us how great we could all feel if we'd ju...

  • That Really Chaps My Lips!

    Posted on Thursday February 12th, 2009 at 17:07 in organic, healthy living, chemical free

    Chapstick is not something I use very often, but I wanted to try Dr. Bronners new chapsticks and see if they were as awesome as all of the other Dr. Bronners products. My conclusion? Stick with the "naked" variety.I used both the peppermint and the g...

  • Cinnamon - It Does A Body Good

    Posted on Tuesday January 27th, 2009 at 08:37 in natural remedies, healthy living, cinnamon

    I have a bit of a phobia when it comes to stomach illness - so I'm always on the lookout for anything that will kill the little stomach bugs that may come along. I was reading on the internet and discovered that cinnamon can help to kill any pathogen...

  • Shame on me! Read Your Labels...

    Posted on Wednesday January 7th, 2009 at 09:58 in healthy living, parabens, chemical free, toxic cosmetic ingredients

    I've said it before: I'm a huge proponent of reading your lables - ALWAYS read your labels! Apparently I need to learn to follow my own advice - because I was hoodwinked by "allnaturalese", you know, that language that just assures you that this stuf...

  • Tips for Aromatherapy Noobs

    Posted on Wednesday December 31st, 2008 at 11:32 in beauty, healthy living, essential oils, aromatherapy tips, chemical free

    The wide world of essential oils and aromatherapy can be confusing at times. Mainstream companies try to cash-in on the increasing popularity and offer products that just don't measure up in an effort to make a buck (shame on them). Here are some noo...

  • Chemical Free Mopping

    Posted on Saturday December 6th, 2008 at 19:15 in organic, healthy living, cleaning products, chemical free

    Who likes to mop? Definitely not me... in fact, I avoid housework like the plague. I mean, I don't have roaches or anything, but I'm not going to win any awards either. However, as much as I hate housework - I hate filling my home with chemicals even...

  • Affordable "Green" Fashion

    Posted on Wednesday November 19th, 2008 at 18:59 in beauty, fashion, organic, healthy living

    I love clothes... in fact, there are few things I would rather do than spend hours browsing through clothing racks at the mall - whether or not I'm actually buying anything (a rare occurrence with my two boys in tow; but still, I love it). With my i...

  • Smell Any Lung Damage Lately?

    Posted on Tuesday November 18th, 2008 at 10:16 in healthy living

    I have a very sensitive sniffer... to be honest, it's a curse. Having the ability to smell EVERYTHING can be overwhelming sometimes; when I was pregnant, I considered wearing a bandana over my nose (bandito!) just to block it all out.Accidentally lea...
