Bringing the perspective of yoga to everyday life
What kinds of containers do you use to store ingredients or leftovers in your home? My go-to is the ever reliable mason jar. Even before I started my zero waste journey in earnest earlier this year, I had amassed quite a collection of this zero waste staple.

Happy National Oatmeal Day! I grew up eating this simple breakfast nearly everyday. If it wasn't oatmeal, it was Cream of Wheat or granola, which is just dried oatmeal!

Just yesterday I responded to a friend on FaceBook asking for hiking boot recommendations. Like I always do, I recommended barefoot shoes. Vivobarefoot is the brand I have the most experience… Continue reading Selling Sore Feet
