• Wellness Wednesday–That “Clean” Smell

  In the past few weeks, I have spoken to two groups about creating the “Clean, Green Home.” When asked how they decide that their house is clean, the majority of those responding said it was based on how their home smells. Just like women since the mid-1900’s, we’ve been led to believe that the stronger [...]

• Tasty Thursday–For Today It’s Truthful Thursday

  I had the opportunity to speak with my life coach this morning and talk about some of the realizations of the past couple of weeks. The biggest realization was that I have not been “walking my talk” as honestly as I desire.

• Wellness Wednesday–How to Eat Healthy While Traveling

  This past weekend I took an airplane trip to visit a girlfriend and was once again reminded of how difficult it can be to eat healthy while traveling.

• Footprint Friday–The Bellisima Green Challenge: Home Air Freshening

  This weekend, I am traveling to spend time with a very close friend. I didn’t want to miss “Footprint Friday,” so enjoy what follows…
