I purchased these products myself and all views are my own. One of my best friends introduced me to Allbirds shoes. I’m so grateful she did. The big appeal of this company, who sells shoes, apparel and accessories, is the items are more sustainable. Products are responsibly made with natural materials like wool and eucalyptus…
If you need some lighter hand weights, you can make your own or use something you already have! It’s pretty hard to find certain weights and workout equipment right now. When you can find it, sometimes the price is inflated due to current demand. Cans of food, books, your kids toys, etc. can be used…
Warning: This is will be frank on the topic of menstrual hygiene products used for menstruation. *03.18.21 the word “feminine” was removed from this post and as much social media as I could without affecting post dates and comments, and replaced with “menstrual,” to allow for gender neutrality.

I purchased this product myself and my review is my own experience. I don’t wear a lot of headbands. My head is a bit larger than normal, earpieces tend to dig into my head, and elastic headbands do not stay on my head even with bobby-pins. The whole cute bandanna as a hairband, even with…
I purchased this product myself and my review is my own experience. I’ve been using Dropps since January 2020. We’ve been through several delivery cycles and testing.

Several types of cloth reusable face masks are addressed here. I wanted to make face masks using materials I already had and items that could be re-purposed and reused. Since social media is all a buzz about more medical-looking face mask, I’ll share this first. I was fortunate to have a scrap/rag bag going on…

I just learned about the Buy Nothing Project/group about a month ago. I’m used to seeing, reading, and writing about posting about (for or away/give or want) items on craigslist, Freecycle, Marketplace and our neighborhood social media platforms. My neighbors started mentioning our area’s Buy Nothing group as a way to re-purpose/re-home/donate items. It’s awesome.…
There was a great article published in the Nov. 26-Dec. 23 Central Austin Edition of the Community Impact Newspaper about local dancewear store Movin’ Easy. I’ve been wearing dance tights in the cold for years, but I don’t remember to talk about it! This article was a great inspiration to share the idea and remind…
