It’s been way too long since I’ve created a DIY post, so I’m super excited to share the recipe for this Sunburn Spray! Last week my family went to Amelia Island for a conference, so I made up this spray to test before posting it. I know that no matter how many times I apply...

Words can hardly describe how excited I am about this gardening weather! My plants have been planted, the compost bin is finally seeing some action, and Abby is proudly donning her sun hat!

I’ve been a little under the weather the past two days, which is unusual for me. Since I switched to a plant-based diet seven years ago, I’ve only gotten one cold, and that was during my pregnancy when my immune system was compromised. Two weeks ago my husband came down with a cold, which he...

DIY: Body Wash

I spend a lot of time on this blog talking about food and nutrition because that is my main area of expertise, but I am also interested in overall health.
