This is a follow up post to Pill Pack/Blister Pack/Bubble Pack. I’ll start from the zero waste angle and lead into health. One of the items my family has deemed essential for our health, especially our gut health which can affect many other aspects of health, are probiotics. My husband, myself, our four year old…
My 100 Day Dress Challenge is finished. My 100 days were August 19 – November 27, 2021. It was easier than I expected. No mooning, playground or underwear incidents. I was not as creative as I expected. I did not bust out all my jewelry or change much daily. The dress held up way better…
Today marks my 56 day of the 100 Day Dress Challenge. It’s been going well despite the Texas heat. I have missed three (3) days of photos to date, you are allowed to miss up to five (5). I forgot the first time, I had a migraine attack the second (migraines wipe me out for…

The article’s mention of support for women…

If you can’t get all the lotion out and/or are worried cutting the tube open may cause the pieces to jam the sorting machines, then put the tube in the trash. Check…

This article originally appears in the Mueller Front Porch Flyer April 2021 edition. Bulk Buying Buying in bulk can help you save money and resources. Buying in bulk can mean two different things: 1) buying loose items from bulk bins in stores and 2) buying larger quantity packages. With COVID, some stores have either closed…
I purchased the items in these pictures myself and these opinions are my own. Grove Co. is a company that ships healthier home and beauty options to your door.
