This is the Last Straw: Ideas On How to Say Goodbye to Disposable Straws

Visit my sponsor: This post contains affiliate links. If you think the idea of boycotting disposable straws is stupid, that’s okay. You do you. This Earth Day, however, I’m finally making good on a resolution I’ve been putting off for years. I’m already using washable menstrual products, cloth diapers, family cloth (yes, that’s washable toilet […]

Setting Up for Fire Safety with First Alert

I received First Alert products for my home in exchange for this post. All confessions of ignorance remain my own. When I was a kid, I thought that when I grew up, I’d get to change my name. See, I didn’t know any adults named “Lindsay,” so I just figured that “Lindsay” was my kid […]

Facing the Facts: Four Ingredients that Never Touch My Face #GMCBeauty

Facing the Facts: Four Ingredients that Never Touch My Face #GMCBeauty

This is post is sponsored by Pure+simple as part of the #GMCBeauty campaign. Sometimes I eat at McDonalds. It turns out I’m fussier about what I put on my skin than what I put in my mouth. I’m not proud of it, folks! It’s been easier to ditch the harmful ingredients in my skincare products than […]

Microbeads… Major Problem

Microbeads Major Problem

There was this ad on TV when I was a teenager, I think it was for Clean & Clear-brand face wash. A pair of besties were standing in front of the bathroom mirror, washing their faces with a new product featuring “smooth, round, microscrubbers.” Yes, I remember the exact line. Hey- the ad probably played during […]

Greenify Your Teen’s Routine, And Yours!

Green Your Teen's Routine

I received the products featured in review free of charge. This post contains affiliate links. Things just got real, folks. I’ve been planning this post for a couple of months, and its relevance has become even more pronounced now that I know I will be having a daughter of my own. Leafing through a women’s […]

Dry Shampoo for Dark Hair

Dry Shampoo for Dark Hair

This post contains affiliate links. I don’t like to wash my hair. Don’t get me wrong: I do bathe. I just hate washing my hair. Washing my hair means I have to dry it, and I’m lazy. I hate going to bed with wet hair, and I am very much an evening bather rather than […]

5 Household Products to Ditch Today

Going green can seem daunting. You learn about the toxins hiding just under your nose, about the environmental impact of convenience products, about all of the destruction we as consumers are causing to the earth’s ecosystems… and then we put our heads back in the sand. It’s too much to take in, too overwhelming to […]

What’s the deal with “Family Cloth”?

When I first learned that “Family Cloth,” aka reusable toilet paper, was a thing, I was appalled. Gross. Nasty. Backwoods. But when I started working with David Suzuki’s Queen of Green, coaching families on how to be “greener,” I also started evaluating my own waste footprint. I looked at what was in my trashcan, and, since I […]

Naty by Nature Care “Green” Disposable Diaper Review

Naty by Nature Care Review

This review is not sponsored or endorsed by Naty.  When you have to use ‘sposies, what are you ‘sposed to use? A while back I posted about some “Eco” disposable diapering options. When I updated that post, it had actually been a long time since we’d used disposables at all. When I needed a pack […]

Homemade Tub & Shower Scrub #WasteLessWednesday

Homemade tub & shower scrub

And it’s back, you’re favourite day of the week: #WasteLessWednesday! You know what’s gross? That line of sticky, icky grime that forms along the perimeter of the bath tub. The dark patches of gunk that line the bottom of the shower stall. Those stains of a well-known origin in the toilet bowl. Caked-on spit in […]

Coconut Oil Scrub

It’s been ages since my last #WasteLessWednesday post, so here’s a super easy, super useful tip I thought of just last week! Make a Coconut Oil Scrub: Want to make sure you get every last drop (or glob, depending on the temperature in your house) of coconut oil out of the jar? Add some salt […]

My First Menstrual Cup: Not going back to tampons, period. (Luv ur Body Menstrual Cup Review)

Disclosure: I received this product free for review. All opinions and lovely, TMI anecdotes remain my own! If you want to find out how I would rate the Luv Ur Body Menstrual Cup compared to other cups on the market, this is not the review for you. If you want to know the truth about using […]

What is the true cost of baby food pouches?

Two things before I launch into this carefully-researched post: 1- This post is in no way sponsored by any re-usable pouch makers! I consulted with some companies while doing my research but this post is not affiliated in any way with any company. 2- This post is not about shaming you for using disposable food pouches! […]

I’m on the rag. (What it’s really like using washable menstrual pads.)

Update, April 2019: This post was written after using cloth pads for menstruation for the first time. It took a while for my period to come back after my son was born and I started getting into all things reusable. It’s been almost exactly 5 years since I wrote this post, and since then I […]

#FavouriteThingsFriday Green Beaver Grean Tea Facial Moisturizer

TGIFTF! Thank Goodness it’s Favourite Things Friday! As you know, I’m super picky about what I put on my skin. I’m pickier about my skincare products than I am about my food. (I’m trying to kick the McDonald’s cravings, I swear!) Since learning about the harmful chemicals that are hidden in so many big-name beauty […]
