Last year, I made a vow to reduce my use of single-use plastic containers and plastic storage containers. I am concerned about the environment and I worry about how the long-term use of these containers will impact my dogs' health. A few years ago, I began setting...

I think my followers on Facebook are beginning to think that I'm obsessed with coconut oil or that CocoTherapy is paying me to promote their product. Nope, they haven't given me a dime. I am obsessed with their products, and, to be creepily honest, I'm a bit obsessed...
I love podcasts and usually binge episodes daily, but I've fallen off the podcast train because all of them are now sneaking in their political opinions. Often, you will find me screaming, “More Housewives, Less Politics!!!” It was cool when actors and...
