So, as my family loves to tease me about, I’m not much of a music person. When my husband met me, he was “impressed” with my Tito Puente CD collection (which still gets referenced to this day), and being a Long Island girl, I truly believed there was 2 kinds of music…Billy Joel and everything…
The Only Holiday Gift Guide You’ll Ever Need
I’m the worst gift giver ever. I only buy practical gifts and trust me no teenager wants to get period underwear, sneakers or a set of fine writing utensils (“wow, pens…thanks?”). Since I know this isn’t my thing, I leave the creative ideas to my hubby but in 2020 where literally anything can happen I…
Take care of your largest organ
Two parts Hydrogen, one part Oxygen. Even someone who failed chemistry in high school (I’m looking at you Gene Haskell) knows this simple chemical formula. Beauty spas, mermaid tv shows and even a cell phone service all use this familiar recipe to sell you something. The grocery store has an entire aisle devoted to it…
pureWash Pro X2 10 Months Later…so many loads
2020. What a mess! But like the filthy Genie that I am (without the Barbara Eden outfit), I have 3 pieces of good news for you. First, as you can see, we’ve been hard at work (well, he’s been hard at work) putting a fresh coat of paint on the Living Clean and Dirty website. …
The Legend of Grandma Helen and the War on Plastic

Plastic ain’t Fantastic
You know I’m crunchy AF, so it won’t shock you that my favorite holiday is Earth Day. Every year I try to do something a little greener to celebrate, and this year I’m going big. I’m breaking up with plastic. That’s right, I’m kicking it to the curb…in a big blue recycling bin. Here’s one…
Say “No Thanks” to the Coronavirus
My hubby always says there’s only one person you can control and that’s yourself. With all the crazy misinformation about the coronavirus and everyone guessing what’s going to happen and what are we going to do, a Type A person like me needs to feel some control. I’m not running out and buying toilet paper…
Scrufah says…Challenge Accepted!
“I love a challenge.” It’s the rallying cry behind a lot of crappy decisions. Let’s take the morally questionable and sexually philanthropic decade that I like to refer to as “My 20s.” There were certainly more than a few challenges during that time of my life, but most of my friends and I seemed to…
