We sleep, on average, about 7 hours a night -- which means that we spend way more time in our bedroom than we do in any other room of the apartment. And, naturally, we spend more time in our bed than ...
Back in July, Gregory gave us suggestions on how to re-use green tea leaves as a natural deodorizer to freshen up the home. We like this idea of re-using the leaves for a completely different purpose ...
When we ran out of shaving cream and realized a pair of tights wasn't going to hide the stubble on our legs, we snipped open the tube and scooped out the lotion inside. It was a last minute method for...
At our place, the bathroom transformation to all-green is almost complete. We've nixed bleach and other caustic chemicals, we've switched to recycled toilet paper (much to the bf's dismay), we've made...
After Amber's post about greening our habits with natural make-up, we realized that our vintage 1950's make-up case was overflowing with...well, we weren't really sure. There was eye liner, lipstick, ...
In lieu of joining a gym this summer, we started running. It saves time, money, energy, and gas. But now that fall is here--and with winter approaching-- we're having second thoughts......
We were perusing the shopping aisles in search of cold medicine last night (yes, it's the season), and came across, of all things, organic cough drops. And that got us thinking...what if, the next tim...
This bottle has been all the buz on the world wide webbings. BPA free and very reusable, the idea is that it is a high end replacemant for all those water bottles we go through in a day (yeah- the on...
Having a green home includes redefining all those little products in the get-ready routine. If you're getting all dolled up for something fun this weekend (and not preparing for Hurricane Ike like hal...
You've probably heard this already, but that antibacterial hand soap in your bathroom (not to mention the hand sanitizer you carry around in your purse) might not be that good for you after all. A...
There's Spring cleaning but what about Fall? Living in a college town, nothing feels more like the start of a new year than the beginning of a new academic calendar. So here are 14 green-do's for Fal...
We've been trying to green every little detail these days, and the time came when we decided it might be time to chuck the artificially-sweetened, tooth-bleaching paste out the window (No, wait! We di...
Bicycle touring is a great, green way to explore the country. From cycling the West Coast, touring New England, or braving the trek across the U.S., there are destinations for the beginner or seasone...
Just the other day, a friend was giving us a super hard time about our lack of preparedness. Seriously. We live in the Bay Area (i.e., earthquake central) and we don't even own a first aid kit. We'r...
We've covered the trouble with BPA before: it's the plastic ingredient and endocrine disrupter that has people throwing out everything from baby bottles to Nalgene brand bottles. It seems more and mor...
This one is almost as good as the old dishwasher debate. We had always been told (and believed) that some plants have the ability to protect us from indoor air pollutants. We've never tested the theo...
We wrote about finding a greener yoga mat in the summer - and it seems you can now also round out your yoga supplies list with eco-friendly blocks as well. Hugger Mugger makes two types, both prefer...
What's the green way to stay clean? If it is exfoliation you're after, we've got three suggestions......
We do yoga in our living room. We've had the same old blue mat for many years and it's icky. Old, tired - ready for retirement. But now that we have to dispose of it we realize that it feels like a bi...
