Spring is a great time to lift your body’s spirits- a time of rejuvenation and rebirth. Free yourself from the burdens of a long winter and emerge revitalized. Winter often steers us away from our usual intake of fresh produce and whole foods. It happens, but if poor food choices persist, the body rebels. Detox diets have been a Hollywood fad for years. However, they aren’t just for young starlets or leading men. Detoxifying one’s body is a promising way of getting back on that wagon and flushing bodily toxins acquired through dietary and lifestyle contaminants, and spring is the perfect time to turn over a new, freshly blossoming, leaf.

If you’re anything like me, you’re pretty skeptical of any move that Wal-Mart makes. When a friend sent me an article recently about the retail giant “going local,” my first reaction was confusion followed quickly by good, old-fashioned fear and a few confusing questions.

Confession time: I am sort of a journal fiend. I feel incomplete leaving the house without some sort of notebook for jotting down ideas. It’s fun to buy a journal, but my inner crafter sometimes wishes I’d get it together to make my very own recycled notebook. Here’s some book-binding inspiration to get you going if you’re feeling the same way!

Eco-friendly painting habits are easy to learn. Proper care of paint and supplies, along with purchasing low-VOC paint will make your painting project eco-friendly.
There has been a lot of hype in the past few years about the harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in paint. VOCs are a group of carbon-based chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature. Some VOCs have an odor, while other VOCs have no odor. The bottom line is that research now shows that the concerns over VOCs weren’t just hype. Research shows that VOCs are, in fact, harmful and can cause damage to our health and environment without us realizing.

The warm, east coast weather this week has had us smiling more, laughing more and playing outside A LOT more! These adorable hardboiled eggs set in nests of fresh grass clippings scream spring. They’d be the perfect accent for an Easter dinner or for any springtime gathering. And because their simple (and entirely easy to assemble) design is so low-impact, we love them even more!
