Tomorrow is the beginning of National Mushroom Month, so in honor of this auspicious occasion I thought I would do a followup on my mushrooms blog a couple of weeks back.  Did you know that Mushrooms have a approximately 90 percent water content, this makes them low in calories and ideal for anyone interested in [...]

I just received my Utility bill today and was first, very happy to see it was much lower than last year due to our efforts at water conservation and also because the bill included a card that described a program that reaches out to young environmentalists. In cooperation with the North Central Texas Council of [...]

Do you wish there was an organic repellent insect spray which contained zero DEET and no synthetic chemicals but instead was formulated using all natural organic plant oils?

I thought this week I would write about the great weekend we had.  When I started to look at our life and our attempt at living green, my blogs have usually been about something green we were trying , doing , or hoping to try. However the last couple of weeks, my blogs have been [...]

The other night Sharen and I were watching TV, (you know, something educational), So You Think You Can Dance, and while watching TV, Sharen dropped a seedless grape. Of course, Berney, (our overweight Yorke who eats any and everything), was there to devour it. She let out a yell to Berney to stop him from [...]

This morning while taking the dogs out, I noticed an interesting development on our lawn over night, a few little toadstools had magically appeared. I guess while the frogs were singing their chorus around the Koi pond, late last night, the fairies must have been dancing.  Well, it could have had something to do with [...]

I’ve been meaning to write about these earth-friendly brushes for ages, because I am in love, sweet love, with them. I actually have two of the bamboo powder brushes which I use everyday for applying my blush and bronzer and the 6 piece brush set which I use for eyeshadow application. It’s no lie when I say [...]
