Alright, folks, get ready for the ultimate diet showdown! In one corner, we have the Mediterranean diet, a culinary journey through sun-kissed shores and delectable flavors. And in the other corner, we have the Vegan diet, a plant-powered revolution that’s taking the world by storm. It’s time to compare these heavyweight contenders in five categories…
Happy Earth Day 2023
Happy Earth Week! Or Earth Day or Earth Month. Yup, they’re all a thing, but if you’re a die hard, dark green eco-warrior like me you don’t care because every day is a celebration of the big blue and green mama. In this house it’s AEAYR (All Earth All Year Round), but this time of…
A Penny for your thoughts…about Electric Vehicles
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.

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. …
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…
