Settling into a serious relationship?

Oct 3, 2018Because Health

First off, yay! Secondly, if you are getting cozy, that definitely means you can talk to your BAE about getting a little more serious about your health. No matter what serious means to you (it is cuffing season after all)- we have a couple talking tips to bring...

We know what’s on the menu for dinner tonight!

Oct 2, 2018Because Health

This delicious kale stem pesto pasta with chickpeas from our friends over at @foodwastefeast. In addition to sharing this recipe with us (check out the link in our bio), Co-founder of @meimeiboston Mei Li taught us some tips for cooking with dried beans. Cooking with...

The same way we used to feel when we used the real “F” word in front of our parents in middle school is the way we feel about using products with added fragrance chemicals today…kind of like we are doing something we know we shouldn’t.

Sep 28, 2018Because Health

Well, our friends at Breast Cancer Prevention Partners did quite a bit of research to help us figure out what kinds of products are using these fragrance chemicals – hint hint perfumes are a big offender. Thanks for all the hard work and supporting us is picking...

While we are excited about all that Fall brings, the fact that summer fruits and veggies are going out of season is kind of a bummer.

So, when fresh isn’t an option, should you go with canned or frozen? Is one really better than the other? Well, in terms of your health, yes. Frozen is better! That’s the answer. So next time you are in the freezer aisle of the grocery store (most likely...

Today is #worldenvironmentalhealthday

Sep 26, 2018Because Health

So while we sip our coffee (from our ceramic mugs – of course!) we want to share a little about what that means for us. To us, environmental health has to do with how things in our environment can affect our health. This is about more than just saving the trees...

Sweater weather is almost in full swing, so you might be shopping for a couple new pieces to set up the perfect fall wardrobe.

Sep 25, 2018Because Health

If that sounds about right, we’ve got a tip for you – wash your new clothes before you wear them. No matter when you are shopping, the clothing was at least probably treated with something to make it look nice on the hanger. So while waiting to wear your...

It’s officially Fall

Sep 24, 2018Because Health

That means more cooking. With all that cooking, you are going to want to make sure you have some great cookware – meaning pans. While nonstick pans may sound like a good thing, the chemicals used to make that magical nonstick coating aren’t very good for...

By now, you are probably used to us praising the glass and stainless steel bottles and containers.

Sep 20, 2018Because Health

They are great, but what if you already have a reusable plastic bottle? Do you have to toss it? We’ve got some good news! You don’t have to throw it away or relegate it to sitting at the back of the cabinet, you just have to be smart about when and how you...

We are proud to announce that we are officially a 1% for the Planet nonprofit partner.

Cleaning might not be the most fun but it’s definitely something that has to be done to do some successful #adulting.

Sep 18, 2018Because Health

To make it a little easier, we came up with the ultimate green cleaning checklist. That way, you have a list of tasks for each room so you know it will be actually clean when you are done. No more wondering if “dusting” with your fuzzy socks counts any...
