My preferred method of exercise is hiking, and I do a lot of walking (having high-energy dogs in the house will do that to you). As a result, I’m constantly carrying water with me. I despise plastic water bottles, so I use non-leaching metal water bottles for toting around my H2O. Though I haven’t used [...]

CAFO Dairies Vs. Organic Pastures (in photos)

May 7th, 2008 · 1 Comment

As a follow-up to my earlier post about TIME Magazine’s less-than-thorough coverage about the raw dairy issue, here are some photos I took when I went to Organic Pastures last year. The photos are terrible in quality, since I had my camera adjusted to the wrong setting, but you get the idea:

You can see that [...]

Random Thoughts: Is Short Hair More Sustainable Than Long Hair?

February 22nd, 2008 · 8 Comments

Right off the bat, I realize that this post is mainly for the ladies. Of course, the longer-coiffed dudes who read this site are totally welcome to partake; but typically, women are the gender most responsible for the classic long hair versus short hair debate.

“Organic” Vs. “Certified Organic”: What’s It All About, Anyway?

July 12th, 2007 · 2 Comments

You may have read yesterday’s review of Climb On! Products Creme. Hopefully you also read the comments, which have turned into quite a lively little debate. One comment from Amy Reynolds, one of the two sisters who founded the company, stuck out in particular. In the comment, she says (among other things): “All of Climb [...]

Earl Grey for the Lady

November 8th, 2006 · 1 Comment

As you may have noticed, I love caffeine in all of its various forms. Recently, though, I realized how addicted I was when I woke up and literally couldn’t do anything before I’d had my morning cup. I tried to go without, but the headache was awful, let alone the bitchiness. I thought for sure [...]

Method Vs. Ecover: Smackdown!

August 29th, 2006 · No Comments

If my earlier rant about my disappointment in Method wasn’t enough to convince you, I’m comparing it with a great company, Ecover, to help you see the light.
