Honest reviews and practical swaps for healthier everyday living

Archive

Author: Alex Anderson

I got tired of reading ingredient labels and finding seed oils, BPA, and endocrine disruptors in everything I brought into my home. So I started this site to share what I actually buy, cook with, clean with, and use day to day. Most of those products link out to Amazon. Using those links costs you nothing (Amazon sometimes has a coupon clipped on the product page), and the small commission helps cover the hosting bill. No sponsors, no brand deals. Just real products I keep in my own kitchen, laundry room, bathroom, and pantry. Not all of it comes from Amazon, though. Grass-fed beef, pasture-raised chicken and eggs, grass-fed butter and sourdough I buy at the farmers market when I can, because it beats the store and it supports my community.
