Non-toxic and affordable, hydrogen peroxide is classified by the CDC as “a stable and effective disinfectant” for hard surfaces. (1) It can brighten laundry, clean mirrors, and more. I’ve already covered many of the ways it can be used around the house, but in this article I’m going to show you how to increase its effectiveness by using it in tandem with vinegar. The operative phrase being “in tandem with,” not “combined with.” That’s because this dynamic duo only works when used together . . . separately. That’s because if you combine the two in the same container, they form a new compound called peracetic acid, which can corrode surfaces and irritate skin, eyes and the respiratory system.

Gardening can be a great way to save money and eat the freshest food available, but it can also come with its fair share of frustrations. From pests to proper watering, there are a lot of factors involved, especially if you are using organic methods to avoid chemicals. Garden pest control is a constant battle in an organic garden but your body (and the environment) will thank you! Fortunately, there are several ways to wage war against pests without resorting to pesticides. Companion planting, proper spacing, and natural methods of disease and pest control can ensure a healthy garden production without the need for nasty chemicals. Organic Garden Pest Control: Is It Possible? Controlling pes

Gardening was once a normal part of life for most people. Not so many generations ago, neighbors exchanged fresh produce over fences and most people knew their local farmer. Most of us probably have fond memories of grandmothers opening a can of homemade pickles or jam. Even though times have changed, we still have the ability to grow some of our own food at least part of the year in almost all parts of the world. Yet statistically many of us don’t (especially in the US). Conserving a local food source is important and working in a garden is good for you, mentally and physically. This year, do something great for your family and consider testing out that green thumb! Instead of paying top do

With everyone trying to figure out new ways to accomplish seemingly simple tasks, I wanted to share my approach to disinfecting naturally with hydrogen peroxide. Although there are some safer products on the CDC recommended list of disinfectants, most are nearly impossible to find. According to the CDC, hydrogen peroxide "is a stable and effective disinfectant when used on inanimate surfaces," but it has to be used properly. When most of us think of the word “disinfectant,” we imagine store-bought options that often contain EPA-registered pesticides and can trigger asthma-like symptoms. (1). However, there’s a cheap, non-toxic, effective option that you probably already have on hand right no

During World War I and World War II, many countries encouraged their citizens to grow gardens, often called “Victory Gardens.” This relieved some of the burden on the public food supply and was marketed as a way to help the war efforts. In fact, some sources report that 41% of the food Americans consumed during these times was grown in these home gardens. Vacant lots and public parks became fields of vegetables and many people grew beets, swiss chard, tomatoes, and lettuce in their front yards or on rooftops. The victory garden was a practical way to improve food security on the home front. I think it’s time to bring them back in fashion! Why Grow a Victory Garden It’s no longer World War II

When I compiled a list of natural Easter egg dyes to try with my kids years ago, hibiscus was said to make a beautiful pink. However, when I actually tested it, the egg turned dark green. Oops. Some of the other suggestions didn’t work at all, and some were just meh. (I’m looking at you lemon peels.) That’s why after experimenting with everything from carrots to raspberries and grape juice, I’ve compiled a list of ingredients that consistently yield beautiful, vibrant colors. You’ll find them below along with the specific recipes I used. Also, when the hunt is over, you can use the eggs to make potato salad or just eat with a little salt for a healthy snack. But first, you might be wondering

Emotional concerns affect many people whether it’s just a bad slump, anxiety over a special circumstance, or straight-up depression and, especially at this time, it’s easy to feel anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed. We are all in this together but we deal with it in different ways. It can be overwhelming to anyone. But, it’s just possible that essential oils can help if you choose the right mood-boosting oils. Can mood-boosting essential oils actually help with emotional issues like anxiety? The short answer is: They might help, but they won’t cure. Essential oils won’t cure your emotional issues (such as depression, anxiety or stress) but they can absolutely help boost your self-care routi
