It’s all Greek to me

~Lately I've been trying to eat a little healthier, and what could be healthier than Greek yogurt? I've never been that big a fan of Greek yogurt, mainly for its texture and distinct taste, but I was willing to give it another try. And I'm glad I did! It started about a week ago when…

Water: The Most Important Nutrient

~Since we were young we've been told how important water is to the Earth as well as the human body. The Earth is covered by 71% water. Our bodies are composed of approximately 72% water, with the brain over 75%. That's a lot of water! Even in vet tech school, one of my instructors drilled…

Pitch the Plastic

** Some of the images in this post may be disturbing to some readers. Viewer discretion is advised** ~I was originally planning to post this on Earth Day, but something of this magnitude shouldn't be reserved for just one day. It's astonishing how reliant we've become on plastic, so much so that Americans throw out…

Everyone deserves a Fair Trade

~The concept of Fair Trade seems like common sense, at least to me it does. When you buy certain products with the Fair Trade symbol, producers in developing countries are paid a fair wage and provided a safe working environment. I first learned of the Fair Trade concept years ago at church of all places.…
