Since we talked about eating and buying local food yesterday, we thought we would keep with the theme and feature our favorite healthy recipes from Pinterest this week! Our board Healthy Munchies is dedicated to recipes we find that are healthy but also delicious. No one wants to chew on a granola bar that tastes [...]
Since Tuesday is the day when we “pause for a cause,” I thought it would be great to feature this article about eating local from Organic Soul. First, why is it even important to eat local?

Today’s mystery ingredient is Resorcinol. This compound is a dihydroxy benzene. Resorcinol is easily soluble in water and is used most commonly in treating acne and rosacea because of its antiseptic qualities. It’s in a ton of over-the-counter cosmetics and skin care products.

So we did a little digging to see what we could find. It turns out that there is no regulation about how much phthalates can appear in [...]
Washington State has apparently installed an electric vehicle fee. Treehugger politely puts it as the “dumb idea of the day.” We concur. Obama increases budget funding for energy efficiency efforts for 2013, including clean coal research, nuclear power and assessing the risks of fracking.

You know those old worn out t-shirts, towels with bleach spots & blankets with an unbearable amount of fuzz in various places in your house? Well Molly Mutt has thought of a rather ingenious way for you to reuse them. When you buy a Molly Mutt dog bed cover, it doesn’t come with stuffing for [...]
