A Toxin-Free Generation

May 11, 2013 by Samantha 3 Comments

I'm a pretty big supporter of all things toxin-free. Partly because, as I mentioned in my Lemon Sugar Body Scrub recipe, I'm highly sensitive. But there's more than that. It's not just about me. I try to live a toxin-free life wherever possible because it's better for the planet, but more tangibly, … [Read more...]

Container Gardening

May 6, 2013 by Samantha 1 Comment

Have you ever thought about starting a garden to try your hand at growing food, but don't have the inclination to dig up a corner of your yard to try it out? Or maybe you live in a condo or townhouse, where it's impossible to have that kind of space? Gardening doesn't have to be the exclusive domain … [Read more...]

Lemon Body Scrub

May 2, 2013 by Samantha Leave a Comment

One of my first forays into being 'green' was in the area of body care. I'm a naturally sensitive person - fragrances and colours and preservatives and goodness-knows-what in commercially-available body care products often leave me a rashy, hive-covered mess. It's uncomfortable, and it sure doesn't … [Read more...]

Felted Sweater Tote

April 29, 2013 by Samantha 1 Comment

Ages and ages ago, I purchased a book on making neat things out of wool sweaters from thrift stores that had been felted and cut up. I even went so far as to buy several sweaters at Value Village, and felt them. So for the past god knows how long, I have had felted sweaters sitting in my crafty … [Read more...]

DIY Glass Cleaner

April 25, 2013 by Samantha Leave a Comment

Cleaning products are my nemesis. I am quite sensitive when it comes to artificial scents, and also to harsh cleaning products. For me, a trip down the cleaning product aisle is a frustrating one - finding cleaning products that don't set off one [or both] of my sensitivities can be difficult. Add … [Read more...]

Happy Earth Day!

April 22, 2013 by Samantha 4 Comments

Happy Earth Day, readers! I hope that my first week of blogging here at She's So Green has been at least a little inspiring to you, and that you don't think I'm totally insane for making my own nut milk, or hoarding milk jugs to make bird feeders! Today I'm going to focus on the little things … [Read more...]

A Green Education

April 19, 2013 by Samantha Leave a Comment

"Education isn't for getting a job. It's about developing yourself as a human being." ― Liz Berry, The China Garden  I may have dropped out of university in my early 20s, but I am one of those people you might call a "lifelong learner". The only thing keeping me from going back to school and … [Read more...]

DIY Almond Milk

April 17, 2013 by Samantha 2 Comments

Are you a label-reader? I am. I'm probably that annoying mom in the grocery store with two bored-looking kids, who's blocking the aisle as I closely examine the fine print on every box, bottle, jar and carton that goes into my cart. The longer the ingredient list, the less likely I am to actually … [Read more...]

April 15, 2013 by Samantha 4 Comments

"From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow."  - Aeschylus Welcome to She's So Green! With this blog, I am hoping to plant seeds in you, my readers. Seeds of inspiration on how to live a greener life, on how to live lightly and leave behind a planet rich with life and beauty for our children's … [Read more...]
