Great Company Just Got Better

So I've used Method cleaning products & soap for a while because 1~ They WORK (America's Test Kitchen's green cleaner winner was Method's Purple All Purpose Cleaner), 2~ They use natural ingredients, recycled material for their packaging, & don't test on animals, and 3~ They smell great without drying out my skin. But now they just got even more amazing - They're using OCEAN PLASTIC in their packaging! Their first product of this kind is a hand/dish soap combo. It uses combines 90% recycled plastic with 10% ocean plastic the company themselves collected! Talk about commitment! And it's available at Grove Collaborative and Amazon. I'm ordering :D Thanks Method!!

Currently Reading, Will Read, Super Excited

2018 is going to be a great year for reading books, I've already got three on my list! And you all know how picky I am 😉

Currently Reading:                            Will Read:
The Other Side of Beauty                 The Masterpiece
by Leah Darrow                                 by Francine Rivers

Super Excited about:
King's War
by Jill Williamson                   
     
*Even if you aren't into fashion, The Other Side of Beauty has something for every woman because we all have our own definitions of Love & Worth. *I was disappointed with River's last book, so I'm excited for a new book just released that's getting stellar reviews because it's based off a real-life artist. *And who wouldn't be excited for the epic conclusion to the Kinsman Chronicles?!!? After all, we FINALLY get to see who represents Christ! Available now for Kindle, paperback on June 19th! Like I said, a good year for good reads 😤

March: for the Environment

Since I gave up social media for Lent, I figured I'd blog about a few things coming up this month before Lent is over!

First off, The Audubon Society of Portland has confirmed following an investigation that the NE Portland crow deaths were intentional poison. They are offering a reward for this horrendous offense, if anyone has any information. More HERE

And secondly, Earth Hour 2018 is coming up fast! This year it's Saturday, March 24th at 8:30pm, mark your calendars!! Earth hour is the time when all over the world, everyone participating shuts off all electricity they can in support of Earth Conservation. Every year the number of people, cities, businesses, and governments participating increases! Here are a few photos from last year.
