After realizing that the Laptop Lunch was too small for J’s needs, I despaired a little, as it’s one of the biggest bento boxes on the market (see my complete review of the Laptop Lunch here). According to the company, it holds 1400 mL or 3 cups, with each of the two larger compartments measuring [...]

Super Hip Lunchbox Idea
Posted in Green Living, Health, My Life, Saving Money, tagged frugal, lunchbox on July 7, 2009 | 1 Comment »
It seems I’m not the only one with lunchboxes on the brain. Apartment Therapy dumped yet another super cool brown bag idea in my inbox this morning. I suppose it’s the economy. Everyone wants to save a buck these days and, and taking a bagged lunch is one of the easiest, healthiest ways to save [...]
Our Bento Experiments, Part 1: The Laptop Lunch
Posted in Green Living, Health, My Life, Products I Like, Reviews, Uncategorized on July 5, 2009 | 7 Comments »
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you may remember my anticipation as I counted down the days to Valentine’s this past February. I bought my husband a pile of gifts and could hardly stand the tension with them sitting wrapped on the table for what seemed like forever.
Do you know that feeling [...]
Liver/Gallbladder Flush Results
Posted in Health, My Health Journey, Natural Remedies, tagged gallbladder flush, liver flush on October 28, 2008 | 13 Comments »
So I completed the liver/gallbladder flush a couple of weeks ago. Can I just say M-I-S-E-R-A-B-L-E??? Good heavens, it was a disaster!! For those of you asking about my results, I needed to distance myself from the trauma of the experience before I could write reasonably about it. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating. But just a [...]

As a continuation of yesterday’s post, here are two more reasons I am enjoying juice fasting.
Extra Time
I spend a lot of time every day preparing food, eating it, and cleaning up afterwards. I am more aware of this than ever, now that I don’t have to do it! I’m also amazed by how much of my energy [...]
Benefits of Juice Fasting, Part 1

I never thought I could do a juice fast. Go without food? For days? Not on my list of fun things to do! Contemplating it, I even felt a little panicky. But this is my second juice fast, and I’ve discovered it’s quite a unique experience — one that I’ll continue to seek out in [...]
Liver/Gallbladder Cleansing and Hormones

It may be Monday, but I’m not working on a menu plan for the week. For the next five days, my husband and I will be consuming nothing but unfiltered apple juice.
Sigh.
I started this fast on Friday, and my husband started on Sunday, after he finished off the contents of our fridge. (What a helpful fellow!) [...]

I can’t tell you how excited I am today! I just received a package of goodies from NuNaturals. You see, after I raved about their stevia, the company contacted me and said they’d like to mail me some of their best products. So now I have lots of new items to try, including their alcohol-free liquid stevia, [...]
My Take on Gluten Free Baking
Posted in Cooking, Health, tagged baking, coconut flour, gluten-free, low glycemic, millet, quinoa on September 29, 2008 | 6 Comments »
DeAnna asked last week if I have found a good gluten-free flour for baking. Hmmm…yes and no.
Disclaimer: I’m not a big baker and never have been. Cooking is my preferred activity, and it seems that almost every time I try baking, I swear it off. My baking projects turn out fine. That’s not the problem. I just [...]
WFMW: Natural Skin Care Regimen

Transitioning to natural self-care products has played a major role in my health quest over the past couple of years. What we put on our skin is absorbed into the blood stream and, thus, can be almost as important as the food we put in our mouths. I have experimented with a number of products, from [...]
