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 [...]

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 [...]

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 liked [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

I don’t see many people outside washing their cars anymore. This might be due to the mandatory water restrictions we now have in San Diego, but I certainly don’t miss the gushing gutter water flowing down our street. In San Diego, you can still wash your car at home before 10am and after 4pm with a [...]

Back when I was more athletic, I ate my fair share of Clif Bars and LUNA Bars. The makers of these nutritous foods (Clif Bar & Company) are also behind the Clif Family Winery & Farm. I decided to write an entire post about the winery in general, because I know that quite a few La [...]

Last Christmas, I meant to use all LED lights but found our local stores to be sold out or low on inventory. I didn’t have time to pursue it any further as it was quite possibly the busiest Christmas season our family will ever have. I did find LED C7 outdoor lights, but they were cool [...]
