I’ve grown to believe that when temperatures drop and we see that first frost blanketing fields and orchards, harvest has ended. Thank goodness for people more knowledgeable than me, like The FruitGuys.

I know, I know. Those little plastic bottles are SO convenient, but sadly, they often contain more than just herbs and spices.

Not only is it ‘tis the season, but the season ‘tis nearly over. If you’re like me, you’ve maybe fallen a bit behind and not quite finished your shopping. If you’ve realized you forgot a few things in the process of shopping, baking, cleaning and planning, no worries, I’ve got some last minute goodies, all under $33 and available with quick delivery from Amazon.

Chemicals laden with carcinogens, endocrine disruptors and more are all around us - including the everyday items we use, well, everyday. And just because I don’t like being Debbie Downer, isn’t it fantastic that we’re finally becoming aware of just how toxic these common goods are?

Perfectly moist, these flavors melt together to create a tasty treat you can enjoy at breakfast, brunch or with afternoon coffee.

Maybe it’s a trend. Maybe it’s the economy. Maybe it’s something else entirely, but road trips are currently on top of everyone’s to-do list this season. And trust me when I tell you, if you haven’t considered the Shores and Islands area of Ohio, you’re missing out.

Unlike any other season, fall and fashion go together like bees and honey. From the warm rich colors to the layering, there’s just something about the coziness of an autumn wardrobe.

ADA compliance, or, making sure your website is accessible, is no joke, but many website owners don’t understand it at best, and at the worst, aren’t trying to ensure their site is compliant. If either of those scenarios are a match to your experience as a site owner, this article is for you!

Love it or hate it, grocery shopping is an essential part of life. But, for almost as long as I’ve been doing it, I’ve been doing it wrong. I’ve been purchasing the wrong things, overspending and inevitably, tossing out too much of what I buy.

Have you read the ingredient lists on some of your favorite seasoning packets recently? Yikes! They are full of some of the most questionable, highly processed foods and flavorings that none of us wants or needs, and worse yet, absolutely aren’t necessary. From MSG to GMO’s (bioengineered ingredients), nasty seed oils and more.

If you’re like me, you don’t think about foot health too often - until something goes wrong and you realize exactly what you’ve been taking for granted.

I’m 47 and aside from an occasional ingrown toenail, my feet have never bothered me, so I never really gave them any thought. I’d get up, go about my day, jog or walk or do yoga and all was good.

Until it wasn’t.

The more I delve into food, specifically the ingredients that go into our food supply, the more I realize how truly tainted the food industry has become.

There is nothing worse than opening your closet doors only to feel like you have NOTHING to wear. And yet, how many of us feel that way multiple days a week? So many times when shopping however, we fixate on finding “THE” piece, but “THE” piece doesn’t always work in “YOUR” lifestyle.

If you’re a label reader like me, you may have noticed something in recent months. The EXTREME use of bioengineered food ingredients. They’re everywhere, and yet, these ingredients are a bit obscure. Do you really know what they are? How they’re made? Or why they’re showing up in everything?

One thing I hear from friends over and over is that they would like to use products that are more “clean,” BUT, they can only get those items at specialty stores, and “they’re SO expensive.”

Not so, my friends! I’m here to tell you, that you can get GREAT skincare that’s readily available, and much less expensive than the brands you’re likely purchasing, or have grown up with, such as Olay and Neutrogena.

What is ADA compliance? In short, ADA stands for the Americans with Disabilities Act Standards for Accessible Design. It prohibits discrimination on anyone based on ability or disability.
