I LOVE MY BODUM!
Oh, how I love it. What is it? It is my electric kettle.
And it is a beauty. Look how pretty it is. If you know me, you'll know that I have a few *favorite* kitchen appliances. One is ...

Part of my renewed interest in replacing my commercial deodorant with an all-natural one is the dangers posed by artificial fragrances. Fragrances contain many ingredients which are untested for safety -- the FDA doesn't test them; it doesn't have to by law. One ingredient in artificial fragrances, pthalates, have been ...

I've tried all-natural deodorants in the past, and always been very disappointed in their performance. So for a while now (I hate to admit it) I have just been using regular old Dove.

Things at our house have been kinda crazy. I am now unemployed. Not unexpected, but nevertheless. This isn't a bad thing per se. Just kindof hard for ...

We planted these raised beds 'long about May 1:
They turned out to be an excellent intro to gardening. We never watered, we weeded once a week (while we were in town, that is) and we were able to replant some things once cooler weather came around. We are still getting ...

Yep, food price woes are reaching even me. You may recall my earlier post about hubs and I (mostly me, as I do most of the grocery shopping) implementing a strict $60 per week food budget. After we got home from Spain our cupboards were completely empty, so it took ...

Oooh, I recently finished a superly-interesting book: Ecotopia by Ernest Callenbach (in 1975!). I stumbled across this little gem in the Sci-Fi section of the library (yes, I read Sci-Fi, and my prissy ass is not ashamed).
