As you begin to live a greener lifestyle, one thing that you’ll notice time and time again, is a reduced need for processed foods. Processed foods come with a bunch of packaging and it takes energy to make them in huge factories and then deliver them to a store near you. Learning to make your own [...]

A few years ago when the plastic pandemonium hit, parents couldn’t get their hands on  glass bottles fast enough. What was once an outdated only choice for bottle feeding has come back in a big way. Even now, with pretty much all plastic baby bottles boasting  BPA-free on their labels, many moms are still concerned [...]

Think you can’t afford to live a green lifestyle? Think again. With a little creativity, you can cut costs, reduce your environmental impact and live a healthier lifestyle. After all, at its simplest, living greenly is living frugally.

Imagine if you had to put money into your car every time you turned the [...]

Consumption costs you money and the more simply you choose to live the more money you can save. And no matter how eco-friendly the products that you buy are, they still come with packaging, they still take energy to make, and they are often still trucked in from somewhere. My biggest/most obvious eco-friendly tip of [...]

GUEST POST: TreeHugger’s Kara DiCamillo offers up seven eco-savvy ideas for V-Day!
Love is in the air! Yup, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and whether you love it or hate it, you can’t deny that there are loads of cheap, wasteful gifts that usually get tossed. So why not make it a little greener [...]

The weather is cold, cold, cold and that leaves some of us dreaming of a tropical eco-getaway. If you’re craving some vitamin D as much as I am why not consider planning a quick winter escape? And you don’t have to be a millionaire either. In fact, globetrotting to an eco-paradise may be just what [...]

The temperature has hit record lows across the country. Places that never see the cold are hitting below freezing temperatures. I know firsthand, I don’t remember South Carolina ever being this cold for such a long period of time. Cities like Atlanta are experiencing some of the longest cold snaps in decades.
Not only is the weather [...]

I recently was in the market for new running shoes. I actually go through athletic shoes pretty fast since I am so hard on them! I usually have three pairs lying around the house – one or two that I actually use, and another pair that I can’t bring myself to throw away even though [...]

Add a little green to your holiday plans. It’s easy. It’s fun. It’s a little like reaching a New Year’s resolution before the new year even begins.

No matter the season or the holiday, natural decorations are always better than their plastic alternatives. Not only is plastic non-renewable and often non-recyclable, many plastics also [...]

Our styles are as unique to us as our fingerprints. But our styles, like our priorities, change as we grow (otherwise I’d still be wearing scrunchies and French-rolling my stonewashed jeans). Lately, headbands have become my signature accessory. This is due more to a bad haircut than a conscious choice, but I’m rolling with it. [...]

Whether your home is big or small, you need a place to sit, eat, sleep and play—and storage for your stuff. But finding home décor that reflects your personal style can be a challenge, especially if you’re dedicated to creating a healthy home (and contributing to a healthy planet). We’re here to help with a [...]

I’m the first one to admit that a number of companies make wild claims about the power of their products in the green marketplace: it will save you energy, make you healthier, save the world. Not that this is a new concept. Since the first tonics were sold by traveling salesmen, marketing departments have been [...]

No, this isn’t a dating column. Hopefully, I’m past having to date anyway and consider myself lucky to have my own fab catch. And that is the perfect transition to talk about fish (get it, catch?).
