The Journey to more…and less. 5 Day Juice Experiment. Financial Independence or Bust. Egg-cellent Hack →. December 1, 2014. Several months ago I wrote an article. Organic, grass-fed, free-range, local items in the shopping cart since eco-friendly and organic usually meant wallet unfriendly.

I forget what produce he...

Then I boasted to my husband about all the little ways I had been sneaking the whey into our meals. I realized, though that while I thought it was good for us, I couldn’t really explain in what way it was good for us. The information that AW was really low in protein was pretty readily available in scores of publications and articles. But the information about what AW. The puns practically write thems...

It’s dissected books! And what a great way to make art out of something broken or ruined (because we wouldn’t use nice, new, books, right? But think of those books warped by water damage, or whose binds have broken or that are simply falling apart, (please avoid using valuable antique-y books…that would be a shame! You are com...

The Journey to more…and less. 5 Day Juice Experiment. In this first fabric flower example, I used some of the smallest of my scraps, those measuring about an inch, but at least three inches in length. I like to sew the flowers because glue is a messy and requires a lot of waiting. But, seriously, no actual sewing skills required! So here is a step by step:. 1) Gather your scraps! Any scrap at least one inch wide and three inches long. If you have wider strips, you can create fuller roses. These are fun a...

The Journey to more…and less. 5 Day Juice Experiment. Culture Club →. January 3, 2015. Even before I knew that I was searching for an alternative, I walked into Starbucks and saw a stack of cups at the checkout with a little tag that said $1. They are plastic and reusable and I can throw them in the dishwasher and the microwave and they have a nice lid that is a single, easy-to-clean piece. They were even BPA free! In an unusual turn of precision for my projects, I then pinned the edges just inside my ou...

As I have been devouring books and articles related to this topic, I have to admit that I am still left feeling confused and often overwhelmed. At the outset, it seems pretty straightforward: either the food we eat is GMO or it isn’t. I mean, there are only a handfuls of fruit and vegetable crops that. GMOs such as corn, wheat, cotton, papayas and zucchinis. It would. This can include th...

The Journey to more…and less. 5 Day Juice Experiment. Thought for Food →. Financial Independence or Bust. October 16, 2014. In any case, I must really, really want to talk about the underlying theme of that defunct post because instead of talking about making granola or foraging purslane–which is what I fully intended so write about now–I am coming back to the prior post. Okay– I know you are now just dying to know what the post was about, right? Between the moment you pay off your debt and when you can ...

The Journey to more…and less. 5 Day Juice Experiment. 5 Day Juice Experiment. Last week my husband and I made a really impulsive purchase: A Breville Juicer. It was the middle of the week and my husband was watching a documentary called Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. So before we could think twice about it, we ordered this fancy juicer. And once we ordered it we were committed. That doesn’t mean, however, that we did not immediately have second and third–and fourth– thoughts about j...Would we be cranky?
