Eating right, taking care of your body by exercising and eating right not only increases the quality of your life, but it has the potential to do the same for your pets. One easy thing to do to increase the quality of life for your pet is to feed it pet food, not people food. However, it’s a fact of life. You drop any food on the floor while you are preparing a meal, or turn your head for just a minute while eating dinner, and you run the risk of Fido greedily licking up those cookie crumbs or snatching that slice of pizza off your plate. When I was a kid I once accidentally dropped a whole plate of spaghetti on the kitchen floor and BAM!! out of no where Josh-O the dog swooped down on the steaming hot mess of noodle and sauce and didn’t even chew.

From recycling plastic bags to ditching plastic (and expensive) water bottles and installing a water filter in our kitchen, to eating better and taking part in meatless Mondays – people are starting to think green.
So it is with joy that I share with you two hard working and natural cleaning supply brands: Mrs. Meyer’s
and Method. I’ve been a fan of these two super effective and fantastic smelling brands since I first discovered the Lavender and Lemon Verbena All Purpose Cleaners from Mrs. Meyers and the Foaming Hand Soap from Method in my early college years. I own it all to the great and unique packaging both brands had that led me to purchase and bring in to a design class I was taking. From then on, I was hooked – almost addicted. Read more…
