What Makes a Fabric “Eco-Friendly”? In general, eco-conscious fabrics are made from natural materials and produced using sustainable practices. This means they’re typically not treated with potentially harmful or irritating chemicals, such as synthetic fabric dyes or other chemical finishes.

Fabric can be called organic if 95% of the material contains organic textiles....

Buying Plants In Person After you find the perfect plant at the garden center or grocery store, make sure it’s protected for the trip home. Even if that fiddle leaf fig looked completely healthy in the store, it could still be damaged in transit. The weather can be one culprit; in the winter, warm up your car and cover plants with a fabric bag before bringing them outside to ward off the chill....
Your clutter is expensive even if you don’t rent a storage unit. Storing unused items in your home costs roughly $10 per square foot. Of course, that cost depends on how much you pay for your residence; you can calculate your “clutter cost” by dividing your monthly rent or mortgage by the square footage of your home. That’s how much you’re paying for your space per square foot. Then, add up how much you’re paying to house just your stuff....

The goal is to keep your head and neck aligned straight while you sleep, so resting your head on your pillow shouldn’t cause it to tilt up or down. If you sleep on your side, choose a high, firm pillow. Back-sleepers will need a slightly lower pillow, and stomach sleepers should go even lower....
Reconfiguring some spaces also made new use of the vacation home. They took out a built-in desk and bookcases and replaced them with a color-drenched nook for napping and reading.

Hawaiian-theme paint-by-numbers and a waterfront scene detail the loft....
This corner garden plan features several shrubs and trees that look beautiful through all four seasons. For example, the ‘Pink Spires’ crabapple trees flaunt rosy pink flowers in spring, followed by tiny ornamental fruits in fall that last into winter. And while the trio of dwarf dogwoods produces small white blossoms, these compact shrubs are perhaps most beloved for the fiery color their bright red stems bring to a winter garden....

After opening a new bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, my fave wine during summer months, I enjoyed a small glass and proceeded to pour the rest of the bottle into my Savino glass carafe. The entire bottle of wine fit inside (it holds up to 750 ml) and the carafe tucked away nicely in my fridge.
