Papa Wolf and the Quest for a Waste-Free Shave #wasteLESSwednesday

Visit my sponsor: I received the products free for review, but all opinions remain my own. (I went on to purchase more The Copper Hat supplies for my Dad!) Working as a David Suzuki’s Queen of Green volunteer Green Coach this year, I was inspired to find even more ways to cut down on waste […]

How We Avoid the Dirty Dozen in our Personal Care Products

Module 3 for David Suzuki’s Queen of Green Coaching Families focuses on toxic substances in our care products. I’m helping my coaching families find ways to reduce and/or eliminate their exposure to such substances, a practice I have almost perfected at our house! You know what my best friends and I used do for fun? Go […]

Reusable Produce Bags #wasteLESSwednesday

Since I’ve been selected as one of David Suzuki’s Queen of Green “Green Coaches” for 2014, on Wednesdays I post my favourite ways to waste less…. #wasteLESSwednesday is my super hashtag. I’ve been using reusable mesh produce bags ever since my Mom made me a set about 6 years ago. Most people have made the switch to reusable shopping […]

Apple Cider Vinegar Conditioner #wasteLESSwednesday

Since I’ve been selected as one of David Suzuki’s Queen of Green “Green Coaches” for 2014, on Wednesdays I post my favourite ways to waste less…. #wasteLESSwednesday is my super hashtag.   As part of my DIY haircare routine, I use apple cider vinegar mixed with water in a spray bottle in lieu of conditioner! It works great, […]

My Homemade Hair Care Regimen

I’m now at the 6-month-mark for going ‘no poo, or, at least “no commercial ‘poo” on my lovely locks. I don’t see any reason why I would return to store-bought shampoo and conditioner, considering that… I’m saving time and water because I only need to wash my hair twice a week; I’m saving huge bucks […]

Trash the Wet Wipes for Cloth Wipes! #wasteLESSwednesday

Since I’ve been selected as one of David Suzuki’s Queen of Green “Green Coaches” for 2014, on Wednesdays I post my favourite ways to waste less…. #wasteLESSwednesday is my super hashtag. I really think that wet wipes are one of the most wasteful products out there, next to disposable diapers! I use a bum spray and cloth […]

4 Alternatives to Plastic Wrap

The first step in reducing your use of plastic wrap is the hardest: once your last box is gone, don’t buy more. When you have no plastic wrap on hand, you are forced to find alternatives, which then become new habits. Let’s face it, people survived with plastic wrap (even Dexter would’ve found another solution…). […]

Make a Stain-Fighting Spray with Buncha Farmers

I love using Buncha Farmers stain sticks on all our household stains (our couch is white….) but I really like the convenience of a spray. So, I made my own spray using my Buncha Farmers stick! 1/4 of a stick, grated 1 cup boiling water Mix until the grated Buncha Farmers has melted and let […]

How to Recycle Brita Water Filters

How to recycle Brita water filters

Using a Brita water pitcher can cut down on waste by the pounds if it means eliminating bottled water in your home. But, it always bugged me that, after reducing so much waste, I was stuck chucking the filter. Guess what? You can actually send the filters to Brita to be recycled… for free! Follow […]

Radius Toothbrushes: Replaceable Brush Heads Mean Less Waste!

Eco-friendly toothbrush with replaceable head!

This post contains affiliate links. A couple of years ago, when my edges were just getting crispy on my voyage to full-on Crunchy Mama Crazy Land, I started looking at every single personal care item in my cupboard and how to reduce the environmental impact of each and every one. I started thinking about toothbrushes. […]

Four Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap Recipes

I love Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap. Since starting my Beauty Products DIY Challenge, I’ve now replaced all soap-based products with recipes based on Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap. The most versatile “flavour” is the Unscented Mild formula in liquid and bar form: you can simply add your own essential oils if you want to spice it […]

Pump it Up! DIY Liquid Hand Soap #wastelesswednesday

3-ingredient liquid hand soap DIY

It’s been almost a year to the day that I originally published this post. I’ve been using our DIY liquid hand soap from this very same batch for one entire year! (I took less than half the batch, and for her much larger gang, Adrienne to the rest.)  I just made a fresh batch (but I […]

My DIY Hair Care Experience: The Beginning

So the first items to be replaced in my DIY Beauty Products challenge were my hair care products. When it comes to hair care, things have gotten extremely simple since having Cub. Once upon a time I washed my hair every day, I straightened it almost every day, and I applied various lotions and potions […]

Making Your Own Beauty Products at Home: DIY, Worth a Try!

My buddy Maman Butt & I have decided to slowly replace all of our mass-manufactured body care products and household cleaning items with our own, homemade versions. Why? A) We are hipster housewives. B) We’re stay-at-home Moms trying to save money. C) We want to KNOW what we’re putting on our bodies and our babies’ […]
