Where are you in your real food journey? Perhaps you’re a seasoned expert–or perhaps you’re just getting started. Maybe you’ve learned a lot, but are feeling overwhelmed because it all just seems too complicated.
I have got a great new resource for you.
Robin Konie (of the great blog Thank Your Body) has just released her newest e-book: Processed Free. Processed Free is a wonderful guide to eating real food–without letting it completely take over your life.…
Are you looking for a safe and natural face wash that’s good for your skin and isn’t ridiculously expensive? You should try my honey face wash. I’ve been washing my face with honey for more than three years now, and I LOVE it. It’s easy, inexpensive, and totally natural.
There are a lot of different ways to wash your face with honey–today I’ll share what works for me.
First off, though, you might be wondering why you’d even want to wash your face with honey. Perhaps the number one reason is what honey isn’t–it’s not a harsh commercial cleanser full of toxic chemicals that you don’t want your body absorbing.…
We spent last weekend planting our container garden plus a few more plants in our raised bed garden, so I thought it was time for another garden update. In that picture above you can see our container garden, which resides out on our apartment balcony. Even though we have two raised beds in the community garden this year, we still opted to do a container garden because we had such success with it last year.

Starting our Hypnobabies class, in preparation for having our first baby at the end of August.…
I haven’t written about Costco for a while, so I thought it was time for another post on what I like to buy at Costco. Although 95% of the food items at Costco are things that I would never buy, they do have a big enough selection of high-quality gems to make it worth my time and money to be a Costco member.
I am a big proponent of local food. I’ve love to buy most of our food locally, but that’s just not realistic or practical for us right now.
