Green Tips, Sustainability and Cupcakes

Today's post is going to be short and quick.  A few tips I read and wanted to share as well as some cupcakes, just because.  Both articles are from Whole Living, which you can sign up for a free email newsletter.

For a quick and easy green shopping list, check out this link.  Some of the items are ones I have talked about before, such as Baking Soda and Vinegar.  You can read my previous posts HERE,  HERE, HERE and HERE.  Other tips are ones I already do - use reusable totes and recycle glass bottles for other purposes.

Now regarding eating sustainably. . . Check out this link.  I think this article is thought-provoking and can possibly answer questions some may have about how to eat sustainable.  It's not just organic products or eating in season (which can be easier in the summer).

Here are the cupcakes from Kara's cupcakes, which uses organic and local produce.  They have some great choices and packages for those getting married or hosting a baby shower.

Monday's Tip of the Week: Halloween Safety & Sustainability

Happy Halloween!!  The witch is now in . . .

No matter how you decide to celebrate this holiday, I think it is important to remember some basic safety tips, especially for pet owners.  Please click here and read the safety tips for the ASPCA if you are a pet owner.  Chocolate and other candies are dangerous and potentially deadly for dogs and other pets.

Now for those interested in sustainability during the holidays.  I found a great website that is all about Eco-friendly products and living.  Click here for the Halloween guide.  I really love the Halloween reusable totes and bags.

P.S.  stay tuned for a post on making homemade tamales!
