Project Green Foot- Week 31
This past week we went out to eat a little more often than usual because J.P' parents were visiting and we spent the week-end in Austin.

Orange Strawberry Smoothie Delight
Most people know that oranges are high in vitamin C (116% of the daily recommended amount). It is this high concentration of vitamin C that gives oranges their reputation for fighting off cold and flu viruses.

Nurture My Body Conditioner Giveaway
Last June, I decided to ditch the conventional shampoo and conditioner and experiment with "no-pooing." I have not looked back since, but, like those who have implemented the "no-poo" method probably already know all too well, it can leave your hair dry. So- what does a green gal like myself do? I ...

Project Green Foot- Week 30
Before this week-end, I had never eaten food from a truck. The stigma that is attached to it is meat on a stick and crappy food. Texas is big on food trucks. They have food truck parks everywhere.

You know when you really want something and have been thinking about it for a few days and when the time comes- no dice? Well, that is exactly how I felt on Friday at the farmers market.

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 ...
