I first became familiar with Sara Snow when I was pregnant and on bed-rest. Between reading baby books and eating I watched her Discovery show Get Fresh with Sara Snow and enjoyed her ease and playful approach to environmentalism. I love how Sara always mixes stories of her childhood into her day-to-day recipes for green [...]

Editor’s Note: This year I asked all the Eco Chick contributors to send me their New Year’s Resolutions, and they really impressed me with their plans! I bet you will be too- interesting to note the similarities (reducing plastic, teaching kids about environmentalism, cooking more) from all these writers, and the differences. I’ve noted where [...]

There are so many holiday candles and air fresheners out there, but many are created from synthetic fragrances that contain harmful chemicals. In this day and age when people are “Febreezing” their environments, it is important to use natural toxin-free products.
I was introduced to the nkd: Naked Candles at Our Green House last year [...]

One of the first lessons we teach kids is to share, so you’d think our grown-up society would be all about give and take.

We spend one third (that’s 33.3333 . . . percent) of our entire life “in bed” (disregard promiscuous college students). Yet, the importance of healthy bedding is often overlooked, considered excessive and far too expensive. Yes, some bedding items (i.e. the throw pillow) are unnecessary, but soft, cozy, non-toxic bedding is a must.
Luckily, [...]

Isn’t it funny how a lot of us grew up with the idea that a ‘clean’ house smelled like a bunch of toxic chemicals? Since my grandma who raised me had a mild version of MCS (that’s multiple chemical sensitivity), I remember her making her own all-natural (not to mention cheap!) cleaners, but my school [...]

This is from a few weeks ago. Live TV is tough…I had so much more to talk about!
