I learned so much at the Paso Robles Wine Country Grand Tasting Tour. The a majority of exhibitors were wineries, however, a table off to the side caught my eye. I’ve been thinking about buying green water glasses. With my plain white dishes, white linens and colorful flower arrangements I thought green water glasses would look nice on the table when I host casual parties. I saw green glasses on this exhibitor table so I [...]

You all have heard my grumblings about the mold in my front loading LG washer. The people at Fresh Wave heard too. They sent me a bottle of Odor Neutralizing Fresh Wave Multi Purpose Additive to see if it might help. I know that others are having similar problems based on the response that post still receives. I was expecting Fresh Wave to just be a laundry additive, but it actually is multi-purpose. You can use [...]

I was thrilled to see these, because we have a bathroom that guests use where I like to have disposable towels or napkins. We seem to have a ridiculous stream of people rotating in and out of our house at all times so it’s not super practical to keep a hand towel in there. Plus (maybe it’s the Hong Kong left in me), I don’t think a ton of people like to share towels with [...]

La Jolla Mom loves getting behind eco friendly causes.  Flipswap.com was recently brought to my attention, which is timely because I had just purchased a new iPhone.  I needed to figure out what to do with the my old one (our junk drawer is overflowing as it is) so I did a little bit of research.

I‘ve had trouble finding a good all around eco-friendly dishwasher detergent.  Some that I’ve tried tend to leave spots on my wine glasses, which are almost always in each load, or food residue on plates.  To be honest,  I was nervous to try Ecostore USA Auto Dishwash Powder and Rinse Aid because I’m a pretty loyal patron of their products.  I didn’t want to not love them, especially because I received both complimentary.  But I wanted to try something new, especially [...]

CARBONita Detail is a new La Jolla based, environmentally friendly auto detailing company.  I had the opportunity to try out their services last week courtesy of Jimmy, the owner of CARBONita Detail.  We are honestly very pleased. If you don’t live in the La Jolla area, look into finding a detailer with a similar water saving technology. Unfortunately, because it took a long time for us to get sorted after our move back to La Jolla from [...]
