    How to Start Zero Waste Without Buying Anything

    /

    These days there are tons of articles out there about what you need to buy to get started on a zero waste lifestyle but I don’t think you actually need to buy anything when you’re first starting out. In fact, I would say that is completely counter to what the zero waste movement is all about. That’s why I wanted to put together an article about how to start zero waste without buying anything. When you’re ready to start your new zero waste lifestyle you should start by going through your trash. Gross, I know. But, it is important for you to know what you’re throwing away so you can…

    20 Ways to Celebrate Your Anniversary Without Money

    /

    This week my husband and I are celebrating our 11th anniversary. Planning for it started well before Christmas and we decided to go a little bit low key with our plans. We’re just going to go out to dinner and then have a night in. We don’t exchange gifts for our anniversary after all Christmas was less than a month ago, but if we did the theme this year would be Steel. These days we have a bit more of a budget for our anniversary than we did in the past. In fact, when my husband and I were just starting out we had to celebrate our anniversary without money.…

    40 Foods You Can Grow in Containers

    /

    You can have a garden that will feed you pretty much no matter what your living situation is, even if all you can do is grow plants in your windows. Last year on my apartment balcony I grew strawberries, cucumbers, several varieties of peppers, radishes, chamomile, catnip, lavender, onions, chives, basil, and rosemary. All of these were grown in containers on my small balcony and they don’t include the houseplants that take up residence in every window of my apartment. When I got started I wanted to garden to save money on our weekly grocery bill, to have greater control over what I consume, and for environmental reasons. So I…

    12 Amazing Potato Diet Recipes

    /

    I have been trying to lose weight off and on since I was 15 years old with varying levels of success. It wasn’t until I discovered the potato diet that something clicked inside and I saw the biggest weight loss I’d ever had, 26 pounds in just 2 months! I know for a fact that my success came because of the two-week-long potato diet I did to start off a whole lifestyle change. For those two weeks, I ate nothing but potatoes covered with some herbs from time to time. It was incredibly bland and my husband watched me do it saying with every meal that he didn’t know how…

    12 Must Read Self Help Books in 2020

    /

    One of my goals this year is to read one new self-help book every month. In the past, I have been TERRIBLE about reading. I spend much of my time in front of my PC either working or doing other things and as a result, reading has just gone by the wayside. But, this year I want to change that. For the last few months now I’ve been spending the last hour before bed away from my computer and phone. I have an e-reader that reduces blue light exposure and I’ve been catching up on some fiction. But now I want to swivel and spend the year reading books that…
