There are many ways for a homeowner to have the ideal eco friendly bathroom in one's very own home, from investing in low-flush toilets to outfitting a hygienic space with a great bathroom vanity made from sustainable or reclaimed wood. The problem seems to be that people simply don't realize just how many options are available to them to get the perfect green bathroom.One way to move towards green-ifying any bathroom is to invest in energy efficient light bulbs, like CFLs. These may be more expensive than standard bulbs, but they last much longer, and consume significantly less energy. This is because most average incandescent lights lose much of their energy as heat, while fluorescent lights are almost 90% more efficient and give off comparatively little heat energy. In the long run, CFLs will go a long way towards making a home more environmentally conscious.One should also try to be conscious of the yearly water use in a home. For example, consider the toilet. An average toilet will consume anywhere from 9-12 liters of water per flush. On the other hand, if someone were to invest in a low-flush toilet, it would only use 6-8 liters per flush. A more recent innovation is the...more

With Halloween almost here, you may be wondering whether it's possible to buy or make your own safe, natural face paint. Well, the answer to both questions is "yes", but I recommend the latter option. Make your own and save some money. Better yet, if your kids are old enough, let them help you make it. Before you start though, there are a few things you should keep in mind.1. Natural dyes and the substances you use to make them can stain, just like chemical dyes and commercial food coloring. Some substances, such as blueberries and tea, can leave a stain that will last for a long time. All dyes will stain clothes as well as kids, so dress them in something like an old sweatshirt or t-shirt.2. Even natural dyes and pigments can cause allergic reactions and rashes in some people. If it's not something your child has eaten before with no problem, it might be a good idea to try a patch test with a little of the substance on an inconspicuous spot before slathering them with the stuff. I wouldn't use face paint of any kind on children under two.3. Be prepared to make a mess and keep in mind that anything that the little trick or treater touches with their painted parts is going to get...more
