Shopping Guide – Menstrual Products

by Cindy Young, in category Health and Beauty, Shopping Guides

The vagina (or hoo-ha as my two-year-old calls it) is not a part of the body that should be ignored. In my opinion, if you are going to use a natural product anywhere in or on your body, that should be priority number one. Menstrual cups are absolutely amazing (read more here about why you… Read More

Shopping Guide – Swim Diapers

by Cindy Young, in category Shopping Guides

If you have a baby and like to go to the pool, you are probably spending a fortune on swim diapers. Even if your baby doesn’t soil them, they are worthless once they get wet. And throwing diapers away isn’t the most eco-friendly choice. Not to mention, those disposable diapers are full of nasty chemicals such as… Read More

Stopping Weeds Naturally in Existing Walkways and Borders

by onepartsunshine, in category In the Garden

If your yard is anything like mine, right now it is teeming with abundant plant life – in other words, weeds. And if you are anything like me, words like herbicide or Roundup make you cringe. For years, I have used the fail-safe method of dealing with weeds – pulling by hand. But after about… Read More

Shopping Guide: Lubricants

by Cindy Young, in category Health and Beauty, Shopping Guides

Natural lubricants aren’t exactly the first thing people start shopping for when they begin purging toxins from their personal care products. But they should not be overlooked – especially if a couple is trying to conceive. For more information, check out my post about the importance of using non-toxic lubrication and this post about choosing the… Read More

Should I Feel Embarrassed to Breastfeed my Toddler?

by onepartsunshine, in category Eating Green

Who cares? Well, it turns out I do. Just a little bit. As my two-and-a-half-year-old daughter gets older, I’m finding myself wondering whether I should stop nursing her. If it was left up to her, she would keep going. Possibly for years. I love nursing her. My husband (a very smart clinical psychologist) says that… Read More

Picking Fruit and Loving Nature

by onepartsunshine, in category Green Activities for Kids, Outdoors

One of our favorite summer activities is picking fruit. The kids love filling up baskets full of fresh berries or ripe peaches. And I love seeing their purple-stained grins after they shove a handful of newly-picked blackberries in their mouths. There really is something almost magical about seeing where fruit comes from and enjoying it so freshly picked. Picking fruit is also a fantastic way to get kids excited about nature.

The Best Natural DIY Baby Shampoo and Body Wash Recipes

by onepartsunshine, in category Green Baby, Health and Beauty

It’s important to choose safe and natural products when cleaning your baby. Most conventional baby care products are full of toxic chemicals that can cause skin irritation, asthma and even cancer. Babies are most at risk because their bodies are still developing. The easiest way to know what you are putting on your baby’s skin is to make these products yourself using natural ingredients. Making personal care products from scratch is definitely trial and error. I have compiled a list of the best recipes that I have found that use only natural ingredients.
