Day 29- Terracycle®

Posted on January 29, 2020May 25, 2020

Check out Terraycle! I LOVE this company! Terracycle is an upcycling company based in Trenton, New Jersey. They take what is typically non-recyclable trash and recycle it into other things. I heard about this company when I attended a PTA convention about 7 years ago. I was on the PTA ( more… )

Day 25- Makeup wipes

Posted on January 25, 2020February 20, 2020

Stop using makeup wipes. I love makeup. My daughter loves makeup. She loves to watch makeup tutorials and practice different looks. Because of this, we have more makeup in the house than we need. My daughter loves using makeup wipes to take off her makeup. She likes the ease of ( more… )

Day 22- Disposable Razors

Posted on January 22, 2020February 20, 2020

Ditch the disposable razors. I used to use disposable women’s razors all the time. This was many, many years ago. Then, I discovered that the company I was using for my razors tested them out on rabbits. I found this out when I saw a very gruesome picture. From that ( more… )

Day 16 – Save the Trees

Posted on January 16, 2020February 20, 2020

Switch to using bamboo paper products. As I mentioned in a previous post, bamboo is a great resource for replacing traditional tree-made products.

Day 9 of Helping the Planet

Posted on January 9, 2020February 20, 2020

Thrift shopping! Shopping at thrift stores is one of my favorite things to do. I love bargains! With the daycare, I can save so much money on toys, puzzles, and games. I still check to see if all the pieces are there, and if they aren’t, I don’t buy it. ( more… )

Worth watching!

Posted on December 5, 2019May 25, 2020

If you have Netflix, their original series, BROKEN, is worth watching! Over the last four days I have watched the four episodes in this series. My daughter told me about it. The first episode was on makeup, which is of huge interest to her since she is 14. The second ( more… )

Great learning program!

Posted on August 16, 2019May 25, 2020

Have you ever heard of ABC Mouse™? I had used it once before with my daycare/preschool, but thought I would try it again, since I saw a two month free promotion on Groupon™ I tried it this morning with the kiddos, and they loved it! The preschoolers learned about the ( more… )

Up-cycling ideas

Posted on June 27, 2019May 25, 2020

I thought these were some cool ideas! The nail polish mugs would be great for Mother’s Day/Father’s Day/Grandparent’s Day gifts. I have a spatula that I love to use when my lotions/hand soaps get too low for the pump to work. I always get lots more uses out of the ( more… )
