Razors - Two billion disposable razors wind up in our landfills every year. Can you believe that insanity? Now don't go indulging in an electric razor either. Go for a good reusable razor with a recyclable plastic handle, and maybe even consider investing in a razor-blade sharpener to make those blades last longer. Or, if you're extra tough or some kind of manly man, go for a straight razor, which can be sharpened on a whetstone. Look for one made of Sheffield steel rather than stainless steel; junk and antique shops may be a good place to track one down. Finally, shave with vegetable-based soap or oil, rather than an aerosol can of shaving cream.

Happy Easter, everyone!

If you celebrate Easter and love the tradition of dying Easter eggs like I do, how about trying a natural approach this year? Instead of buying packaged dyes, experiment with natural materials such as beets, blueberries and spices. You can find recipes quick and easy online. Oh, and how about instead of plastic grass (personally, I hate that stuff..it gets everywhere and I have to fight the cat not to eat it!) how about trying moss or shredded newspaper?
