There are a lot of details to consider when planning a wedding - and we think sustainability should be one of them! That's why we’ve got your back with some easy ways to integrate sustainability into your big day.

Let’s face it, a lot of gluten-free desserts suck. I’ve had some excellent ones but I’ve had WAY more that were either okay or just plain not great. Let me share one gluten-free recipe I unabashedly adore - my black bean brownies!

You may have heard of a safety razor, or maybe you haven't. They're a great solution to the plastic disposable razors most people use today. If you're wondering, "is a safety razor right for me?" Let me help you decide.

Have you ever acquired an item into your sustainability toolkit just to find you weren’t using it?

I know I have! But don’t worry - integrating your new sustainability tools isn’t so hard once you’ve created a habit!

Those who know me know I look for any alternative to buying new or throwing anything away. Sometimes though, this can be tricky. So when my friend introduced me to Bunz, I was thrilled!

By request, my first vegan recipe for you: a delicious hearty vegan chili! I’ve made chilies before but what I love about this rendition is how filling and healthy it is while still tasting like the rainy day comfort food that chili should be.

Having a library card doesn’t mean you have to give up visiting major bookstores like Chapters or Indigo. I get it - I too love spending time in these stores, browsing books and gift-wares, enjoying a Starbucks, and gabbing with a friend over our purchases.

“Happy” and “menstruating” are two words that you don’t often find together. In fact, it can be a very stressful time for many – which is why Menstrual Hygiene Day exists. It’s also why I’m very excited to share some stats, thoughts, and resources about menstruation with you.

On Wednesday, April 22, Earth Day turned 50! It was a big milestone so there was much celebration and a great emphasis on the need for action now more than ever.

Because of COVID-19 I’m working from home so I was able to put the earthday.org live-stream on in the background while I was working. For that, I’m so grateful.

Cloth tissues were something I tried out because my husband had a pile (a number of piles actually) of old cotton shirts that he was getting rid of. They were too worn to donate, and we don’t have a textile recycling facility in the Edmonton area. So I decided to cut them up for garage rags. Anything that didn’t work as a garage rag (sleeves, black shirts) became… cloth tissues!

Colds suck! But my cloth tissues and the honibe lozenges made my most recent illness so much more bearable. What are your natural and sustainable cold tips?
