MYdrap

 

I reuse, I recycle, I want to take on composting. And I use way to many paper towels. I’ve tried to cut back, but there’s something to be said for the convenience and satisfaction of tearing one off the roll. MYdrap basically takes all of those things into consideration and sends them off in a greener direction. Tear one of the 100% biodegradable cotton napkins (or placemats) off their roll, then wash it up to six times before composting or recycling it. MYdrap is available in 20 vibrant colors, four patterns, and five sizes. No excuses left because they’re also really affordable. (Thanks, Anne!)

Door Porn

 

There’s not one thing wrong with the exterior of my house except for the sterile, under-ten-years-old feeling that I’d like to abolish. First on my list is adding some character to the front door. And while it’s not in the budget to buy a new one, I know a coat of fresh paint can do wonders. I’m torn between goldenrod and black at the moment, but anything has to be an improvement on the dull beige is currently is.

Even More S’mores

 

You people can’t get enough s’mores. Seriously. This post from last year is responsible for my highest stats ever, a year later and sites are still picking it up to repost. Complete insanity, but who am I to interfere with your summer s’mores fix? An enabler, that’s who. Here are twenty more recipes to give you your fix in a plethora of forms over the next twelve months. Enjoy and send me some in an envelope, please.
