One of the sustainable practices I have started this year is beginning a less wasteful and less toxic laundry routine. This was one area of our lives where I felt my family and I were being exposed to quite a few toxins in the products we were using. I started to research and look into less toxic alternatives for washing and drying our laundry. Through this process, I have found several ways to not only reduce the toxins my family is exposed to through our previous laundry routine, but have also found ways to reduce our waste, energy used and save us money all at the same time!
Washing
One of the most money-saving and eco-friendly practices we use during our washing process is using cold water. Approximately 75% of the energy required to wash a load of laundry is attributed to heating the water. Using cold water saves money because you do not use as much energy to hear the water and puts less pressure on electricity grids. Hot water also can damage and fade clothing. Using cold water will also help your colors stay brighter for longer and prolong the life of your wardrobe.
Another change we made to our laundry routine was using a less toxic and less wasteful laundry detergent. Instead of using popular (and toxic!) brands like Gain and Tide, I have chosen to switch to using either Tru Earth Landry strips or making my own laundry detergent with Dr. Bronner’s liquid castile soap.
I like Tru Earth because of their plastic-free mission. The laundry strips I have purchased do a fair job cleaning laundry with no measuring. I chose the unscented option since added fragrance tends to be where you are potentially exposed to unknown toxins. I also like that Tru Earth laundry strips come in minimal and recyclable packaging.
Making Your Own Laundry Detergent
I also like to make my own laundry detergent with Dr. Bronner’s liquid castile soap. Castile soap is a concentrated multi-purpose cleaner that is available in a bar or a liquid. This extremely effective cleaner was originally named after the olive-oil based soaps from its renowned namesake Castile, Spain. This vegetable-based oil cleaner is completely natural and free of animal fats and synthetic ingredients. I prefer the liquid form, but you can purchase the bar soap for cheaper and convert it to liquid form, although the consistency differs from traditional liquid castile soap. I have tried several different brands of liquid castile soap, but Dr. Bronner’s is my favorite.
Dr. Bronner’s liquid castile soap is made from all-natural and biodegradable ingredients with only organic coconut, hemp, jojoba, palm, and olive oils. It is certified fair-trade and non-GMO with zero foaming agents. AND Dr. Bronner’s bottles are made of 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. One of my favorite things about Dr. Bronner’s is that it is scented with essential oils instead of toxic artificial fragrances as well, coming in a wide variety of scents. Swapping castile soap for traditional laundry detergent has been amazing!
Dr. Bronner’s label advertises 18 uses, but there are so many more than that! I have been able to replace more than 10 toxic personal care, hygiene and cleaning products in my home with liquid castile soap! I no longer buy laundry soap, dish soap or hand soap, shaving cream, bath oils, glass cleaner, face wash, degreaser, toilet cleaner, floor cleaner, and multi-purpose cleaners. This magical cleaner is fairly concentrated so dilution is required, but a little goes a very long way, saving me money as well.
Fabric softeners are another way that toxins can sneak into your laundry. SO many fabric softeners contain added artificial fragrances. This wide array of chemicals oftentimes are not required to be listed on the label if considered a “trade secret”, but can cause hormonal issues, allergies, and even infertility! Using an all-natural fabric softener like white vinegar, baking soda, or Epsom salts will reduce your and your family’s toxin exposure and are a more sustainable option for your laundry.
If using white vinegar as a fabric softener, be sure to add to the rinse cycle instead of the wash cycle. Vinegar is acidic and can neutralize base soap, rendering it useless. If using baking soda or Epsom salts, add 1/4 c to your wash load to give your laundry added softness.
Here’s a quick Tik Tok I made about my sustainable laundry routine.
Using a laundry detergent booster is not necessary to get your laundry clean, but for extra dirty loads of baby, teen boy, or workout clothing I like to use a laundry booster. My favorite natural laundry booster is borax. 20 Mule Team borax is another natural cleaning staple in my home because I can use it for so many things, one of those being for laundry. Other natural laundry detergent boosters include peroxide, lemon juice, and white vinegar. If using a laundry detergent booster, add this to the bleach compartment in your washing machine.
For drying laundry sustainably, my preference will always be hanging on the clothesline. Nothing beats the smell of sheets and towels fresh off of the line! But I don’t always like this option for cold Indiana winters so sometimes I use a folding drying rack indoors or my traditional clothes dryer.
When I use my dryer, I try to use a low to medium heat setting for greater energy efficiency. I also like to use my 100% organic wool Friendsheep dryer balls in place of dryer softener sheets. Wool dryer balls are a wonderfully sustainable and non-toxic option for drying clothing because they are chemical-free, plastic-free, and cruelty-free. Friendsheep organic dryer balls are also compostable and biodegradable. The benefits don’t stop there…these amazing (and reusable) little dryer balls also help eliminate static and wrinkles and reduce drying times 25-40%, saving you even more energy and money. I like to add a few drops of essential oils to my dryer balls to give my laundry a sweet smell. Some of my favorite Simply Earth pure essential oils for laundry are: clean linen scent (for towels and bedsheets), citrus scents like lemon or orange (in spring and summer), and cinnamon (in fall and winter).
With nine kids, laundry is a major chore at our house so when we chose to start choosing more sustainable and less toxic products, laundry detergent was at the top of the list! I hope you have enjoyed reading the ways I have been able to modify my laundry routine to make it more energy-efficient, more eco-friendly, less wasteful, and less toxic, all while saving money too!
Summer is quickly approaching and here in the midwest, with the warmer summer weather, comes an abundance of farmer’s markets and fresh produce stands. Visiting local farmer’s markets, farms, greenhouses, and produce stands are one of my favorite summer activities. I love to seek out new locations we have not been to…one of my favorite places to shop for produce is at an Amish farm about 15 minutes from our home, where they sell a ton of flowers, jams, soaps, wood carvings, seeds, and other items. The kids love visiting the farm and seeing all of the animals too! While visiting our local farmer’s market, we have also been able to find some wonderful local sauces, candles, and beauty products from small businesses in the surrounding area.
Wellness and Your Diet
Webster’s dictionary defines wellness as the quality or state of being in good health. While many facets of your lifestyle can contribute to your overall wellness, diet is one of the most important elements to ensuring your body and mind are able to function at their best. A well-balanced diet with a variety of vitamins and minerals is recommended. Fruits and vegetables are a major source for many of these essential vitamins and minerals our bodies cannot produce on its own.
Benefits of Fruits and Veggies
Besides providing our bodies with essential nutrients needed to maintain peak performance, fruits and veggies have many other benefits such as:
-lowering blood pressure.
-strengthening bones.
-reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
-helping to prevent some types of cancer.
-lowering the risk of eye and digestive problems.
-lowering the risk of diabetes and have positive effects on blood sugar.
-controlling appetite and aiding to maintain a healthy weight with dietary fiber.
Fruits and vegetables also contain electrolytes that function as antioxidants and anti-inflammatories.
Produce Storage
Storing produce properly is crucial to prolonging its life and lessening food waste. Fruits and veggies can decompose more quickly when not stored adequately. Most fruits and vegetables are okay to be stored in the refrigerator. But no two fruits and veggies are alike so there is no one method to store them all. Some fruits and veggies also emit ethylene gas which speeds up ripening (and rotting) so you must take care when storing to keep fruits and vegetables apart, thus the [generally] two crisper drawers in your refrigerator.
Below I have included 25 sustainable ways to prolong the life of your produce. These tips are guidelines, of course. I recommend regularly checking produce in storage to trim off bad spots, throw out or add to your compost pile if unedible.
Sustainable Ways to Extend Produce Life
Shop local farmer’s markets for produce or grow your own. This cuts out the ripening of produce while during shipping from further away locations.
Prepare to store immediately after purchase in the refrigerator or freezer.
Remove moisture before storing produce and store it in a reusable zipper storage bag. Excess moisture promotes premature rotting.
Plan and prep meals to prevent over-buying and reduce produce waste.
Freeze what you aren’t planning to use right away.
Store in produce drawer to avoid from getting too cold in the back of the refrigerator.
Rinse fruits and vegetables with edible skins with white vinegar to prolong life up to a week. (1 part white vinegar, 3 parts water)
Add foil to banana stems to keep yellow longer. Plastic wrap works too, although this is not something I keep around. And don’t forget — brown bananas can also be frozen to use later for smoothies, baked goods, or homemade beauty recipes!
Store other produce items that do not require refrigeration like potatoes, garlic, tomatoes, onions, bananas, etc in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight.
Use ice water to revive lettuce, greens, and herbs. Place in a bowl of ice water for about ten minutes.
Gaseous produce like bananas, apples, and avocados should be stored away from each other and other produce. Also, remember to remove from plastic bags. A mesh produce bag is a better choice.
Inspect produce while storing. Remove any brown leaves or rotting pieces to prevent it from spreading to the rest.
Use lemon juice to keep sliced fruits and veggies from browning. I use this trick on avocados, apples, bananas, and fruit salad.
Wrap celery in foil to prolong its life in the crisper.
Wrap leafy green in paper towels and place in a reusable zipper bag to keep fresher longer. Be sure to leave some air in the bag so the greens do not get smashed.
Keep whole, uncut pineapples, watermelon, cucumbers, squash, and eggplant out of the fridge. These items can be stored on the counter or in the pantry until they are ripe. Once ripe, put in the refrigerator to slow further ripening.
Remove green tops from carrots and beets before storing them in the fridge.
Store asparagus, green onions, carrots, celery, and herbs in water. Don’t forget to trim the ends off first. Water should be changed every other day. This can prolong up to a month!
Apples and citrus fruits do not need to be kept in the refrigerator but will last longer if you do. Did you know apples can soften 10x faster when stored at room temperature?!?
Do not wash berries until ready for use. Moisture encourages mold growth.
When pineapple is ripened, cut the leafy top off and store in the fridge upside down to redistribute the sugar that has settled to the bottom during transportation and helps it to last longer.
Wipe off mushrooms and store them in a paper bag in the main part of the refrigerator.
Use produce scraps to regrow produce. This is a fun experiment, especially for kids. My kids love trying to regrow our produce scraps. We have tried onions, avocados, celery, romaine lettuce, carrots, beets, and pineapple. This is such a fun experiment!
As a general rule, store fruits and vegetables separately.
BUT keeping an apple in with your potatoes can help to keep them from sprouting!
So if you are throwing out produce because it’s rotting faster than you can use it, try some of these sustainable produce storage tips to help you prolong the life of your fruits and veggies for an extra week or maybe even two!

April is EARTH Month and April 22nd is Earth Day. Most areas are still recommending to stay at home and practice social distancing if you must go out or are an essential worker, but we can still celebrate the Earth!
Here are 12 ways you can get outside and celebrate the earth while still practicing social distancing.
Plant a garden. Propagate new plants, repot or split over-crowded plants, or plant a window sill garden. Spring is the perfect time to start your seeds indoors for all of your favorite garden herbs, fruits, and veggies.
Take a hike or walk.
Pick up litter around your yard or in your neighborhood.
Find a geocache..or better yet, cache and trash! We cachers call this CITO (Cache In, Trash Out.) Geocaching is a fun outdoor GPS game where you use GPS coordinates to hide and seek containers, called “geocaches” or “caches”, at locations marked by coordinates all over the world. My family and I have enjoyed geocaching while hiking, running errands or even on vacation. You can join for free at geocaching.com. If you do, look me up at abc0619! We can be caching-friends!
Plant a bush or tree.
Do some yard work. Clean leaves out of flower beds, mow or treat your lawn.
Create a serene outdoor sitting area.
Make a birdhouse or add a bird feeder.
Have a picnic.
Go for a bike ride. Not only are you getting some exercise, but you are also reducing pollution!
Read a book outside in the sunshine!
Have a nature photoshoot. Take pictures of plants, trees, leaves, flowers, insects, the sky, or clouds. Take it all in and enjoy! You may even get some shots good enough to frame!
Although it may not feel like it, spring is here! I have been using some of my extra time during this quarantine to do some spring cleaning, cleaning out drawers and closets, and paring down, donating things we don’t need or use.
I always love the smell after spring cleaning…the windows are open and I can smell the sweet scent of the hyacinths in the air blowing through and the fresh, clean smell of the lemon and orange oils from my homemade cleaners. I prefer to use chemical-free cleaners in our home and so I make my own. One of the most important staples I keep around for making homemade cleaners is 20 Mule Team Borax.
What is Heck is Borax?
Borax, also known as sodium tetraborate, is a white, powdery mineral mined from dried up lakes. Because it is a completely natural mineral, it is no more toxic than baking soda when used properly.
I first came across this magic mineral when I had my first child. My son had been put on soy formula and the stains were terrible to get out! I was talking about this with my grandmother one day while visiting her with the baby. She suggested pre-soaking in borax and water solution before washing. I asked her, “What the heck is borax?” My grandmother goes to the laundry room and comes back with a box of 20 Mule Team Borax. She was a cleaning lady for many years and also made her own natural cleaners.
I picked some up later that day. It was kind of hard to find in the laundry aisle at the store because it was shoved way back on a bottom shelf. I tried it that very night and was AMAZED at how well it worked! Why had I never heard of this before?
After it worked so well for removing the formula stains on the baby’s clothing, I was hooked! The box had a few other common uses printed on the back to clean rusty cooktops, remove mold and mildew stains and dissolve sticky messes. I had to know more…what else could I be using this for?
5 Great Uses for Borax
While Borax can be used for a myriad of household cleaning and deodorizing, here are FIVE ways to use borax around your home.
Use as a deodorizer- Borax powder can be used to deodorize carpets, stinky sneakers, garbage cans, refrigerators, mattresses, and garbage disposals,
Use to remove rust and limescale on tile, porcelain, cookware, and stainless steel. Because of its abrasive qualities, borax is a wonderful cleaner for bathrooms and kitchens.
Use outdoors to deter common pests like ants, fleas, water bugs, roaches, and other pesky insects. Borax can also be sprinkled around the base of fruit trees to enrich the soil, used as a weed killer, or used to scrub your outdoor furniture in the spring.
Use as a rinse agent in the dishwasher instead of the expensive and toxin-filled alternatives to prevent spots on glassware.
Use as a laundry booster. Borax can be used to boost the power of traditional laundry soap or can also be used to make your own detergent. Works well on stains too!
Using Borax Around My Home
I love that borax is so multi-purpose and also safe for my family. I use it as a laundry detergent booster as suggested on the box, but I utilize it for so many other applications around my home.
Borax works fantastically on those crusty, stove burners to clean grease and cooking spills.
With borax, white vinegar and a little elbow grease, this stovetop is gleaming!
I also use borax to combat insects that sneak their way into the house in the spring like ants. Mix 1/2 cup of sugar, 1.5 tbsp borax, and 1.5 cups warm water. Soak some cotton balls in the mixture and place in corners of the room, windowsills, cabinets, and counters to keep ants away.
Another way I use borax at home is to make a natural weed killer to spray the cracks of my driveway and sidewalk. This mixture is extremely easy to make and can be applied once yearly. I apply in the spring for best results. Dissolve 10 oz. of borax into 4 oz of warm water. Once the borax is dissolved into the warm water, mix into a home and garden sprayer and add 2.5 gallons more water. Do not use around flower beds or vegetable gardens.
Cleaning with Caution
Although borax is a naturally occurring mineral with low toxicity, it can still be absorbed through the skin causing mild skin irritation. As with any other cleaning substance, using gloves and following directions, along with heeding package warnings, is always recommended.
Conclusion
Cleaning with natural ingredients is not as difficult or time-intensive as one may think. Natural cleaners are just as effective and much less toxic! Making your own natural cleaners with borax and other household staples like white vinegar, baking soda, or salt are budget-friendly and eco-friendly too! If you haven’t heard of borax, give it a try! I have given you [at least] five great ways to try it in your home while spring cleaning!
Are you curious about essential oils? If so, this is a great place to be! As an avid user of essential oils, I have been amazed by how practicing aromatherapy with oils has been able to calm and balance me at times when nothing else seemed to work. I love to diffuse essential oils and experiment with blending different oil tinctures. I will give you a little background on the history of essential oils along with a few tips about using essential oils for beginners and some recipes too!
History of Essential Oils
Although essential oils have been used for thousands of years, the first recorded use of oils goes as far back as the 11th century, where aromatic and medicinal oils and ointments were sold and traded across India, Persia, and Egypt and then later migrated into Greece and Rome.
Essential oils, typically named for the plant they are derived from, are extracted from the flowers, leaves, woods, and roots of fragrant and healing plants like mint and lavender. Oils can be harvested by several different methods, but the most common method of obtaining essential oils uses a distillation process to sort-of “milk” the pure oils from the glands of the plants.
Uses for Essential Oils
Essential oils are used in 3 ways:
As fragrance in cosmetics, perfumes, soaps, cleaners and detergents, and other industrial products
As flavoring in baked items, candy, meat, soft drinks, and other food and drink items
As pharmaceuticals for aromatherapy, also in some dental products and medicines
Oils for Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the practice of using our sense of smell, in this case with essential oils, to promote physical and emotional health and wellness. Dispersing oils into the air with a diffuser for inhalation, mixing a tincture for topical application in a massage oil or roller bottle, or adding several drops of essential oils to your bath water are all wonderful ways to implement aromatherapy with oils.
Essential oils are great for aromatherapy because the different fragrances stimulate the olfactory nerve in your brain. Have you ever gotten a whiff of a familiar fragrance and all of the sudden a memory or feeling you had forgotten about comes flooding back? This is because the olfactory nerve is part of the limbic system which controls memory, learning, and emotion.
Diffuser Blends
Here are a few of my favorite blends for diffusing oils at home. Just add water to your diffuser’s fill line then add pure essential oils!
When blending oils for topical application on the skin either in a roller bottle or in a massage lotion, you should use a carrier oil. Carrier oils are used to dilute pure essential oils and reduce allergic skin reactions, sensitization, and phototoxicity. They also do not evaporate easily so they stay on skin longer and allow for more absorption. Carrier oils are usually un- or lightly scented so as not to distract or change the scent you are blending. Rosehip, coconut, almond, and jojoba oils are common carrier oils, but there are several others you may use depending on your personal preference.
Dilution
The standard dilution rate varies for babies, children, and adults. A 1% dilution is recommended for children over the age of two, while a range of 2-3% dilution is suitable for use in children 2-10 and adults. This is because children have thinner, more porous skin. A good guideline to follow is to use one drop of essential oil for each teaspoon of carrier oil. When using essential oils on infants under 2 years old, I use a 0.10%-0.20% dilution rate. This figures to approximately 1-2 drops of essential oil per 1 oz (6 tsp.) Here is a great resource for best practices for using essential oils on babies and children from Nourishing Joy.
My Favorite Essential Oil Blend Recipes
I use almond or coconut oil as a carrier oil, but you may have another that you prefer. All recipes below are for blending approx. 4% dilution in a 10 oz roller bottle. (These blends can be used in a diffuser as well!)
2 tsp carrier oil 2 drops Lavender 2 drops Clary Sage 1 drop Ylang-ylang 1 drop Bergamot
(See Pin-able version at the bottom of post!)
Other Oil Remedies
Essential oils can be used in a variety of ways to enrich your life, health, and well-being. For instance, did you know lavender oil is great for dabbing on bug bites to relieve itching and swelling? Or that applying a dab of peppermint oil on each temple can relieve a headache? These and other common oil remedies can be a great alternative to pharmaceutical “fixes” which sometimes come along with a list of terrifying side effects.
DO Try This at Home!
Here are a few quick tips for you beginners:
*Some oils can be used “neat” (meaning they are safe to be applied onto the skin without a carrier oil) and some cannot.
*Test on a small area of skin for allergies
*Use only PURE essential oils
*Heed blending recommendations, especially when mixing oils for use on babies and children.
I encourage you to expand your knowledge of essential oils and have fun experimenting with your own blends!

I have touched a little on some of the toxins in our everyday routines. As women, we tend to use numerous beauty products daily (and sometimes, several times daily.) LADIES! You would not believe the number of chemicals and toxins you are exposing yourself to!
Many of these products have the same or even more dangerous ingredients than cigarettes, yet they do not come with a Surgeon General’s warning regarding the myriad of risks to your health and safety. Side effects from chemical and toxin exposure include:birth defects, weakened immune system, advanced aging, hormonal and fertility problems, disruption of endocrine system and an increased risk of cancer.
Now, I am not naive to think this is something that has just begun to happen, however, one would think in a developed and regulated country such as the United States, more legislation would exist to control exposure from food, water and personal care and cleaning products.Toxins and chemicals are sneakily slipped into ingredient panels on product packaging or sometimes not even required to be listed at all if determined a “trade secret”.
Legislation
Despite the ever-growing number of products in the cosmetic industry, there has been no federal legislation on cosmetic safety since 1938! The United States has only 11 banned chemicals while Europe has more than 1,300 toxins and chemicals that have been banned for use in consumer products. State legislation is making better strides on the local level though, with 211 bills banning toxins in water and consumer products pending in 32 different states. You can check pending legislation in your state by clicking here.
Educate Yo-self!
Education is the key! Learning more about the ingredients in the products you and your family use is a great way to have some control over chemical exposure. Here are some ways you can educate yourself:
Read articles online, magazines, books and blogs.
Follow EWG on social media. EWG’s website also has an abundance of information on all topics environment related.
Use an app. EWG’s Healthy Living app contains 128,000 products and is growing daily. I use this app and LOVE it! Use the app to scan items and see ingredients’ potential toxicity. If you are not able to find your product in the app, you are asked to participate in helping EWG grow its database by snapping photos of the front and back of the product and barcode so the product can be added. Other apps include Think Dirty, Yuka, and INCI Beauty Analysis.
Read/scan ingredient panels and labels.
Listen to green and eco related podcasts. Some of my favorites are The Toxin Terminator, The Green Dudes and Green Divas, and Talking Clean with Irene.
Engage with other like-minded people by getting involved in local community groups, online communities and attending events both online and in person. Facebook is growing with so many groups for every interest. Offer information, ask questions and show support. I have made some awesome connections this way!
Sacred Chocolate is certified organic, certified vegan, certified kosher, carbon balanced and produced in a 100% renewable energy factory in California.
