YOU’LL NEVER GUESS WHY I CAN’T USE FELS-NAPTHA SOAPApril 30, 2012
Even though it’s been sold for more than a hundred years, I never heard of Fels-Naptha bar soap until I started making my own laundry detergent four years ago. I bought a case of the soap and loved smelling the fragrance – both when I made the soap and then when I used it when washing clothes. I never gave a second thought about its safety, though – until I noticed an article on Livestrong.com. One potential conflict is that naptha is a petroleum-derived ... Read more IS MURPHY OIL SOAP SAFE ENOUGH FOR MY FAMILY?April 11, 2012
If there’s one smell that transports me to my past, it’s Murphy Oil Soap. One sniff and I’m back helping my mom scrub the house with the warm, soapy water during summer vacations. Then the longer I smell it, the more I realize it also reminds me of college. Every year I moved in to a new dorm room, my mom would wash out all the dresser drawers and woodwork with Murphy Oil Soap and water. For some reason, the smell lingered for a few days, and now it’s my scent of anticipating new ... Read more HOW (AND HOW NOT) TO REMOVE CARPET PADDING FROM HARDWOOD FLOORSApril 9, 2012
When my husband and I finally took possession of our new home we discovered a gem: finished hardwood floors underneath nasty carpet in our entire upstairs. We knew we wanted to tear out the carpet as soon as possible, and after hours of stripping wallpaper, priming and painting, we were ready. The results were great in our daughter's bedroom, and not so shabby in the hall and the master bedroom. Then we discovered the floor in our son's bedroom. What a mess. The hardwood looked ...

Read more THE DAY I REALIZED HEALTHY CHOICES DON’T GUARANTEE HEALTHJuly 21, 2015
Healthy choices are better than unhealthy ones, but they're not a guarantee for a problem-free life. Growing up, healthy choices weren't important to me. I never gave a second thought to healthy eating or exercise. And I never considered the safety (or hazards) of products. Quite naively, I thought that because I lived in First World America, my products and food all were safe --- and good for me. When I realized this was not the case --- and I had spent a lifetime consuming ... Read more AVOID SYNTHETIC BUG SPRAYS WITH ALL-NATURAL REPELLENTSJuly 16, 2015
Insect repellents are necessary, but safe choices are hard to find. Instead of synthetic bug sprays, I like all-natural repellents. Disclosure: This post is brought to you by Butterbean Organics. I still remember crawling into an orange pup tent as a child, excited for my first campout in my parents’ wooded backyard. I can hear the crickets and tree frogs in my memories … and smell the overpowering scents of a DEET-based mosquito spray. It was hard to get to sleep, partially because of ...

After a life of eating processed food, I was sure I couldn't cook real food. Was I wrong!! I've found it's easy and affordable to cook real food. Growing up, I never helped much in the kitchen. Oh, I’d look forward to baking Christmas cookies with my mom every December, and I’d make my own macaroni and cheese from a box for summertime lunches … but that was it. Once I graduated from college and moved far away from my family, I needed to figure out cooking on my own. Cooking for one ... Read more THE NIGHT I DISCOVERED THRIFT STORESJune 29, 2015
After a lifetime of bargain shopping without thrift stores, my shopping changed once I tried thrift stores. I appreciate how it's affordable to repurpose quality clothing! Growing up, I was taught to be a good bargain shopper – to this day, I still gravitate toward sales racks and clearance sections. (Why spend extra money if you don’t have to?) Yet I never stepped foot in a thrift store. Ever. I was happy with my discount store deals, but when I got pregnant in 2007, I knew there was no ...

I admit that I skip exercising because I automatically remember that I hated gym class. But I need to practice my mental fitness and just do it. My health is too important not to fight to stay fit. I never thought much about physical activity when I was a child. I liked to play – and once I started school, recess and gym class were fun enough. I preferred other “specials” like art and music, but I don’t remember much about gym class – except for playing with parachutes and having ... Read more CREATE A SAFE AND SIMPLE HOMEJune 11, 2015

THE DAY I THREW MY COSMETICS AWAYJune 2, 2015
Ready to start middle school, I was 12 years old when I was allowed to start wearing cosmetics. My mom took me to the drugstore and treated me to a pastel blue Caboodles container and way too many Cover Girl products – concealer, foundation, blush, eye shadow, pressed powder, and Lip Slickers lip gloss. I just had muted colors (which was fairly miraculous for the late ’80s!) so my makeup looked fairly natural. But I still had the cosmetics – and I wore them each and every school ...

It’s a chance to get pampered, get a fresh new look, and take a little bit of a break. But if you’re diligently trying to make healthy product choices, a visit to the hair salon has the potential to feel like a nightmare.

Am I the only one longing for a resourceful, old-fashioned way of life? I miss the good old days. I know I’m not that old, but I still remember life during my childhood when people were less busy and more carefree. The late ‘70s and early ‘80s weren’t as hurried and harried.
