As I've mentioned before, we are slowly becoming more green, but only when it makes sense. We aren't throwing out the old just to buy new, but instead slowly starting to buy green when things need replaced. Michigan's weather has finally started to realize that summer is coming, and has been warming up. At least the last week or so has. The week before that felt like February. Anyway, we like to fish, and went fishing for the first time of the year on Monday. I had been sent some sunscreen from Ecomom Read more [...]

I'm a small person. Although I don't mind being short at all, it's weird for me to say that I'm small. I think it's because I don't think of myself as small, it's just that everyone else is large. Though I know that isn't true, I guess that's just my view. Haha. Anyway, I'm also a college student, and when you're 5 foot tall and have wore the same size clothes since you were 12, it's a lot to carry a backpack full of college textbooks up four flights of steps, it's not fun. With my old backpack, Read more [...]

I have odd sleeping patterns. I sometimes struggle to sleep at all, while other times, if I'm out of school and have no obligations, I can sleep for over 12 hours a night for 3 days in a row. However, regardless of whether I've recently slept well or not, I almost always struggle to fall asleep. I am a natural worrier and when I lay down for the night my mind refuses to shut off. When I first heard of nap26, by seeing it on another blog, I knew I had to try it out. powernaps sent me their nap26 Read more [...]

I recently was able to work with Honestech to review their program Claymation. As I have mentioned before, my boyfriend Ryan enjoys most anything technology related, including making videos. Although he normally works with regular videos, he also has made stop-animation videos on occasion. Although he has successfully made stop-animation videos before, he thought claymation sounded really neat and wanted to try it out. I personally know nothing about making videos, so I had him check this out for Read more [...]

I got the chance to work with Orly to review a few of their nail colors. Their polishes are Lacquers which are intended to last longer than traditional polishes. I was sent three polishes to try out, and did notice that the polish seemed to last a bit longer than usual. I love to wear nail polish, my nails are rarely ever bare, but they are usually about half painted because although I adore nail polish, I am not the most feminine in other ways, I don't mind dirt, or using my nails to peel something Read more [...]

About the blog owner 🙂 I have a degree in zoology, so most of my work centers around animal or nature themes. The fact that my day job is zoo keeping kind of cements the fact that my whole life is pretty much devoted to animal conservation. To further that aim, I donate 20% of the purchase price of every item sold in my shop to the Tapir Preservation Fund. TPF is a great organization that, you guessed it, works to preserve tapirs and tapir habitat. Tapirs are big animals, so preserving their Read more [...]
