Is a Vinegar and Baking Soda Mixture Effective for Cleaning?

May 28, 2014 By Emily McClements
Thank you for supporting this site with purchases made through links in this post.

Should you use a Vinegar and Baking Soda Mixture for cleaning? The answer might surprise you! from LiveRenewed.com

You sprinkle and pour and watch the satisfying bubbles rise up. You watch the bubbles pop and feel proud that you're using a safe and non-toxic cleaning solution. The bubbles fade away and you scrub down your sink, toliet, tub, or counter. But do you really know what you're actually scrubbing around and how effective it is? I learned something interesting last month when I wrote a post over on Keeper of the Home about vinegar not being a great non-toxic cleaner. Some people love their vinegar … [Read more...]

Why I Accept Climate Change and Follow Jesus

May 9, 2014 By Emily McClements
Thank you for supporting this site with purchases made through links in this post.

The statistics say that only 44% of us as evangelical Christians accept that climate change is real, and if you fall into the other 56% there could be several reasons why you may not believe in global warming or climate change. Maybe you embrace a more conservative political ideology and think global warming is a liberal agenda. Or maybe you believe that God wouldn't let climate change happen, or that the world is going to end anyway so it doesn't really matter. I want you to know I … [Read more...]

7 Documentaries to Watch to Impact Your World

Thank you for supporting this site with purchases made through links in this post.

7 Documentaries to Watch to Impact Your Worldview at LiveRenewed.com

Over the past several years my hubs and I have developed a love for documentaries. It probably started with our subscription to Netflix which we stream through our Blueray player. I love all the access to documentaries that Netflix gives us - that we didn't have before. And since recently canceling our cable (again) now that the Olympics are over - we're back to relying on Netflix for most of our TV viewing. Just like the books I've read (and am currently reading) that have impacted my … [Read more...]

Choosing a Safer Shower Curtain for Your Bathroom

Choosing a Safer, Non-Toxic Shower Curtain at LiveRenewed.com

We've probably all experienced the lovely chemical smell that permeates the air when you take a new shower curtain out of the package and hang it up in your bathroom. Does it ever make you wonder what's actually in the plastic shower curtain to makes it smell that way? Many shower curtains are made out of vinyl or PVC (polyvinyl chloride), a plastic that does in fact release harmful chemicals into the air for at least a month and possibly up to a year after you open it and hang it up in your … [Read more...]

The Myth About Garbage

Thank you for supporting this site with purchases made through links in this post.

The Myth About Garbage at LiveRenewed.com

Today I'm over at Life Your Way talking about a super exciting topic: Garbage.  Okay, well obviously, it's really not that exciting, but I do think it's an important topic to talk about and think about. Our country produces A LOT of waste everyday, and most of that waste ends up in the landfill. And I think a lot of people believe the myth that garbage decomposes in the landfill, but that's not actually true. From the post: What really happens to garbage in the landfill? A few years ago I … [Read more...]

No Man Made a Greater Mistake…

Edmund Burke Quote at LiveRenewed.com

I recently saw this quote on my friend Beth at Red and Honey's blog and I just thought it was amazing and important. When it comes to both green and natural living, and issues of faith and social justice, it can be easy to believe the lie that we cannot make a difference. That the choices we make don't matter. But let us remember that doing nothing is far, far worse than doing something - even if it is only a little. And together, little things can become great things in our lives and … [Read more...]

6 Books that Changed My Life

6 Books that Changed My Life at LiveRenewed.com

Does it mean I'm getting old that my memory is a little hazy? When I think back to the very beginning of the radical change that has happened in my life over the past 6+ years, I really don't remember exactly when it started. But I do remember what started it. I read a book. Books are dangerous things, aren't they?! They have such power to inform and educate, encourage and inspire, challenge and convict. They can be so-so-good-I-don't-want-to-put-it-down and at the same time … [Read more...]
