Access to water is a right- not a privilege
Isn't it beautiful? Don't you think everyone should have access to freshwater like that? How many of you have ever experienced water scarcity? The closest I have ever come is limiting when I can water my lawn or plants in the summer months. It is hard to believe that 884 million people lack access ...

Project Green Foot- Week 28
The carrots at the farmers market are the biggest, fattest and most delicious carrots I have ever seen and tasted. I tend to buy a lot of them during the week because I enjoy juicing them. Carrot and apple or carrot and pear juice really are one of the most refreshing juices. I love the slight ... Read More about Project Green Foot- Week 28
Green Cauliflower Mash
St-Patricks day is one of my all-time favorite days to celebrate. My grand-father literally got off a boat from Ireland and ended up in Canada. Growing up I remember how important it was for him to celebrate in style with his shillelagh in one hand and a beer in the other. I guess deep down I always ... Read More about Green Cauliflower Mash
Project Green Foot- Week 27
I was disappointed with our CSA basket this week. It just seems they threw a bunch of random fruits and veggies in a basket with little though. I am pretty sure the only thing local was the tomatoes. We decided we are going to cancel our CSA basket and just purchase from the farmers market. This way ... Read More about Project Green Foot- Week 27
The Mini Raw Vegan Carrot Cake
Anyone that knows me well enough can attest to my deep love for carrots, which I will gladly eat all day, everyday in the raw, in a cake, bread, or salad- pretty much anywhere. A few weeks ago, I was craving something sweet, but not too sweet. Usually I can munch on a carrot and forget all about ... Read More about The Mini Raw Vegan Carrot Cake

Project Green Foot – Week 26
I love farmers markets and everything they have to offer, but when I think of them it is usually in the summer months. The weather in Fort Worth has been beautiful lately, so I decided to google “farmers market in Arlington” and was pleasantly surprised to find one that is open now. I was not ...

Project Green Foot- Week 25
I pampered myself this week and got my hair done at a local salon that uses Organic Color Systems. I love the look of my hair and I am very pleased with the results. It may have been on the expensive side, but it is one of the only thing I indulge in and it is only every 2-3 months!We needed to ... Read More about Project Green Foot- Week 25
Recycling CFL Light Bulbs, Bottle Caps and CDs
Gift cards, plastic bottle caps, CDs and CD cases. I don’t know about you, but I have a nifty collection of these items and some, sitting in my closest. I never threw them out- I always knew deep down, I would find a place that would recycle them or at the very least find a second use for them. ...
