I recently moved into a new home and decided to take the opportunity to “start fresh.” Now I really think about every single thing that comes into my home: its ingredients, origins…everything. I was having a hard time finding home decor that fit my family’s style and from a company I wanted to support. I received a catalog in the mail from At West End and got on the phone to learn more about their company. The products were simply stunning, unique, eclectic, inspired by nature and made from recycled products. But I wanted to know more. The owner Doug Williams took the time to help me out and I am now their biggest supporter. [read the full article...]

I’ve been poor, dirt poor, caretaking a small cabin in the woods working on a basil farm. During these slim economic times, I discovered that water, just water, was an effective cleaner. Now that I am a little more affluent and have stainless steel appliances, water is once again my favorite cleaning product! But what about the smears….enter E-cloth!
Jessica has already shared with our readers her love affair with microfiber, and I have to agree I’m in love with E-cloths.
E-cloth® uses microfiber technology to pull and capture dirt, dust, grease, oil and more from hard surfaces without the need for chemicals. Perfect to have on hand in the kitchen to clean in between courses. E-cloth® is made to clean hard surfaces from kitchen countertops to wood shelves to stainless steel appliances and glass (leaving no discoloration, streaks or smudges) all without a single chemical cleaner. Specially cut fibers utilize pure tap water to clean at the microbial level, saving your family from having to choose between a dirty home and harmful chemicals.

My mother hates odor. She’s not like “eww, that smells like garbage.” She’s like, “eew, there’s an undertone of fake gardenia in that fabric softener.”
Well, not exactly, but really close. My mother, like many others walks out of retail stores that smell like heavy cleansers and would sooner live in filth than in a house with Pine Sol. I’m not as sensitive as my mother, but I’ve tried to keep my house friendly t her and others like her.
Today I cleaned the house from top to bottom with EcoDiscoveries products and guess what my mother smelled? Nothing.
