ECO FRIENDLY COLLEGE DORM SHOPPING LIST I’m going to get straight to the point because most people skip this part anyway. (Don’t worry, I don’t take offense. I do the same thing) I’m about to launch my youngest baby bird out of the nest and into the wild world of college dorm life. I want…
Dirty Santa, Clean Earth: Navigating Eco-Friendly Holidays Like a Pro
It’s that time of the year – holiday madness is upon us! We’re getting bombarded with TikToks and Reels showing you crap you don’t need, telling you that the more you buy the more you’ll be loved. We hear over and over again how the holidays are about love, kindness, spending time together, but all…
The Freshman’s Guide to Living Clean and Green: College Edition

Do you like it? There are basically three situations that in which I will get asked that question. Roughly once a month my husband will ask me that when he tries something new in the kitchen, his wood shop or the bedroom. The second situation where I get asked that is when one of my…
I Love T.O.U.
This summer has been brutally hot. By mid-afternoon I felt like I had walked through a car wash fully dressed. For the past two months I’ve opened my electric bill with the same nervous look like all the men anxiously waiting to hear Maury Povich tell them they are NOT the father. I know my…
World War C
I love movies, always have. A decent rom-com, a good tear-jerker, even a few sci-fi movies have kept me entertained, but there’s one genre that I just can’t get into…zombie movies. During quarantine I started watching a movie called World War Z. Basically it was ten million zombies versus roughly 14 people, so it was…
