Product Review and Giveaway: Bon Ami Toxin-Free Cleaning Products
I walked up to the Bon Ami booth at Expo West two months ago thinking that I had stumbled upon a new company making natural cleansers. When I found out that they were actually founded in 1886, making them 126 years old, I have to admit, I kind of lost interest. I thought, “What could a stodgy, 126-year-old company know about environmentally-friendly, toxin-free cleaning products?” Besides, I was there to discover “new” and “cool” companies in the healthy living space, so I left a card out of politeness, and walked off.

I originally met Leia when I purchased one of her company’s signature floor vases, and have … Continue reading
The things I learned this past Earth Day.
As much as I consider myself a Holistic Mom, I have to admit that I am not a very “Green Mom.” Until recently, I hardly ever recycled, I drink out of a new plastic water bottle nearly every day, and my baby does not wear cloth diapers. <== This last part is because I am extremely squeamish about touching poop, even that belonging to my own adorable little Apple. But more on this later. Back to Earth Day. So I am afraid to admit that I am not very eco-friendly or eco-aware. I wonder if it has to do with … Continue reading
