Vitamins & Minerals test??
Has anyone ever had a comprehensive nutritional panel done? I've been reading about this lately and wondered if there is anywhere in town (Charlotte) where this can be performed. I just had a physical with blood work and the typical discussion about iron levels, thyroid function, cholesterol, etc ensued, but nothing about vitamins and minerals specifically. It may not be necessary since none of the values were out of the "normal" range (vitamin d was a little low, but still within normal), so…See More

"Although attracting animals is one concern to putting animal products in the compost, I *think* another is the bacterias that animal products produce. It becomes more important than without animal products to make sure your compost reaches a proper…"
"Hi Missy, always nice too hear of someone who gets excited by seeing how much theyve kept out of the landfill and sees that re-using is better than recycling . I too am a Freecycler (in Wi) since 2005.
I thought I'd share the way our 2 person…"
Recycling Freely
I try to maintain a healthy home and lifestyle. I assume most of the readers of this site do too. One activity that has brought me lots of unexpected joy? Recycling (I know, I thrill easily). Each week I’m on a low trash quest, feeling quite beside myself when our recycling bin is fuller than our trash bin. Recent changes to our county recycling program has given us a 96 gallon bin and allowed for the addition of number 5 and 7 plastics, juice boxes, and aerosol cans. Woohoo!! All those yogurt…See More

"What do you mean by being careful with meat and dairy on your paper towels? So they don't end up in the compost? They will break down just fine - I think some people say not to put meat in the compost so you don't get dogs digging through…"
"We've been paper towel-free for 4 years? now. My husband still reaches for them and will try to find tissues (next on my list to get free from!) instead of using a flat diaper or small towels. Sadly, he doesn't want to use cloth wipes…"
"that's funny about the cloth napkin as placemat! I've had visitors not use theirs and tell me, 'you can put this back up, I didn't use it.'
Thanks for making the point about composting the paper towels. They can be, but if…"
"It's going great! Like you said, most visitors prefer paper towels, so sometimes we have some then. Lots of visitors buy them for us! Amazingly enough, some people don't know what to do with a cloth napkin, and try to put it on the table…"
"we don't use paper towels either and have been working on decreasing our use of toilet paper as well!

"We have hit the 2 year mark too and although there was a tiny adjustment at first, we definitely don't miss them now. People who visit on the other hand, certainly do a double take then look all flustered in our kitchen!"
"We're totally paperless and it's not even a challenge! It's been over 2 years now with no paper towels."
"We're doing it! It happened by accident one weekend when I was cleaning; we ran out of paper towels and I was in too much of a hurry to go out and get more. At some point, years ago, we had bought a bunch of bar towels from Sams. They'd…"
"Great post, Shelia! Thanks for laying it all out in such an easy to read (and digest) format :) Is there a way for us to test our ph levels?"

The Paper Towel-less Challenge
Who doesn't appreciate the convenience of the paper towel? Rip one off, wipe up a spill, a face, dry hands you are always washing, use as a 'plate' to serve sandwiches, and heck they are even "microwaveable". Ok, that one I added just for comedy sake, because haven't paper towels always been microwaveable? Ahhh, the ingenuity of marketing. If you have a list of luxuries, paper towels should be on that list. Why? Because they are unnecessary, expensive, and impact our environment in a big,…

Lemon as a deodorant--Who knew?
Body odor happens. We've all been subjected to it at one point or another. Sometimes without a care, others with a whole lot of worry---company party, first time meeting boyfriend's parents, at a play group with moms you've never met before. And when it hits, there's no stopping it. So, what's a natural gal (or guy) to do?
Squeeze a lemon.
After you make that tasty pitcher of refreshing lemonade, don't toss the lemon to the compost just yet. Take…
