Mommy Goes Green

Simple Organic shares 5 Simple Home Remedies That Really Work.  Skip the Tums and try peppermint essential oil in water or DIY chest rub for those winter colds.  Many great ideas you can put together yourself – saving you money at the drugstore and using natural ingredients.

Group buying is the thing now and I’ve gotten some great deals on the sites.  Groupon, Living Social – you’ve heard of them and they all have similar deals that are 50% or more off products and services. In fact, I often find the same deal on Groupon one day and then on Mobba the next.  But Roozt has it’s own twist – they only feature socially responsible companies that are eco-friendly, ethical, humanitarian, and/or community conscious.  For example, today’s Roozt dealwas $18 for $33 worth of mineral makeup from Alima Pure.

On Healthy Child’s blog, they talk about how Health Care Begins with a Grocery Cart and I couldn’t agree more! I really believe the better we feed our bodies, the healthier we are.  My son has had terrible eczema for a couple months and we found that eliminating some food in his diet immediately made it disappear. I’ll be talking about that next week but it’s just another example that garbage in = garbage out.

A great way to furnish your home is with new to you furniture.  It’s less expensive and you’re keeping it out of a landfill.  You can find inexpensive, quality items on Freecycle and Craigslist.   For inspiration, I go to some of my favorite blogs – these ladies can turn junk into treasure. I’m constantly amazed and inspired.  Just A Girl, Thrifty Decor Chick, The Lettered Cottage and Centsational Girl.

I have a major sweet tooth and often vow to cut back.  Keeper of the Home has a great post on “Cutting Down on Sugar: 21 Ways to Eat Less Sugar“.
