Earth Day has come and gone, but that doesn't mean we can't continue to think green when it comes to consumer electronics.

Whether you try to spend as little time as possible or you savour the alone-time you get when you're in the bathroom, greening one's bathroom is often at the top of a list of priorities for working towards a green home.
Bathrooms account for a large amount of water and electricity usage. They also account for a large amount of water and electricity waste in the home.

I'm not sure if this has already been posted (I tried looking, but there were so many!) but I decided to post anyway to share with you all. I was reading a post from YumSugar about tequila and it reminded me of this great recipe I found in Oprah's magazine, O. I'm always looking for new ways to marinate chicken.

I don't know about anyone else out there, but working full time can take a toll on your lunch creativity. When it comes to getting up early enough to make a decent packed lunch, vs. sleeping in, i opt for more sleep.
