My First Organic Garden: Tips, Pics & Motivation for the First Time Vegetable Gardener

By Leave a Comment

When I was a young girl my father had a huge backyard garden. I didn’t understand the big appeal of the garden back then, mostly because I had to spend so many weekends in the hot sun helping to pull weeds! My Dad always had a great yield of tomatoes, cucumbers and other delicious greens.

 
One day last year on a whim, I decided to start my own little vegetable garden. I wanted to do something outdoors so that I would have more of an excuse to enjoy the sunshine instead of staying inside all of the time in front of a computer screen. I knew absolutely nothing about gardening, so I winged it mostly.

By Leave a Comment

Besides the obvious reason to wear a mask (to protect yourself and others from covid, colds, and other respiratory infections), here are a few fun, practical reasons why you would want to wear a face mask when you’re out on the town.

You Get to Talk to Yourself and Not Look Crazy

“Damn it, I forgot to pick up the cheese.” With a mask you can talk to yourself in peace without worrying about what other people may think about you. So, when you forget the cheese, you can mumble it to yourself, head back to the store, and then talk to yourself some more. As much as you want.

I learned about this neat pet cat backpack while browsing social media posts. It makes a lot of sense if you have an indoor cat and want them to experience outside safely every now and then.

The mesh sides and top front allow them to enjoy the fresh air comfortably while being safe inside. Zip it up just as you would a regular backpack. There is a zip up pocket on the side for storing small items, like treats.

How to Increase Your Water Pressure | High Pressure Shower Head

By Leave a Comment

Have lower water pressure in your shower? This shower head just might help increase your water pressure.
Increase the water pressure in your shower.

Though this shower head may not give the desired water pressure I would LOVE to have (the feeling of tiny beads raining on my skin like a gentle massage), it has significantly increased the flow compared to my old one. I can feel more comfortable getting into the shower and washing my hair now.

In the past, for some reason I thought that changing out a shower head was something complicated, but it’s actually very easy.

“Leftie loosie,” turn the old one off the spout, then “rightie tightie” the new one on, preferably with a wrench. The box also includes sealant tape that you can wrap around the spout to ensure a snug fit.
