I’ve had quite a few companies reaching out to me lately to try and review a product on Live Green Mom. More often than not, I would rather just give the product away to a reader. Most companies are amenable to that, so… let’s give something away!
I love olive oil, use it for everything! I try and buy organic when I can, there is usually a good deal at Trader Joe’s on it or a decent coupon floating around. I like Carapelli organic olive oil, it has a smooth yet robust flavor that goes well with anything I pair it with.
When I am unable to post on a consistent basis for whatever reason, I welcome guest posts. Today’s post By Kelly Austin might seem like old news to more seasoned greenies, but there are plenty of you just starting on your eco-path. Here’s a few tips to get you started when it comes to shopping just a bit greener.
Use a WrapIts! Not a plastic baggie!

As a mom I am always having to pack snacks & food for my kids. I refuse to pack everything in plastic one-use baggies, so I use reusable snack and sandwich bags. They are easy to pack and easy to clean, less waste, and they invite the conversation when other kids ask about them. A win-win all around.
Some days I have a cup of hot green tea in the morning, some days a cup of coffee. One thing I insist on is that it is hot. I mean hot! I like it hot from the get go, and I don’t like to reheat it over & over in the microwave. Have you ever noticed that the quality of the
Reusable ceramic cup for my hot drinks
beverage seems to decline with every reheat in the microwave?
I have a ceramic reusable cup with a silicone lid but my one complaint is that it does not keep any beverages warm enough for me. I have a stainless steel mug with a lid but I can’t microwave it!
I was making a beautiful salad the other days of freshly washed organic kale, spinach, sprouts, tomatoes, cucumbers, chives, dried cherries, flax seeds, almonds – the whole nine yards. I love a good salad, but was a bit tired of my same old olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing. Variety! I needed variety!
