Now hear this!

Okay guys, enough with the small talk, let's just hit y'all with some challenges! (Ps. Comment on how you're doing so far!)

Challenge 9: Put your money where your mouth is! So, I propose that this week, you beloved readers out there donate to an environmental cause. The sum? 5$. That's it! Five tiny, baby, dollars. That's a starbucks latte. Not even, if you live in Toronto. Point is--it's a pittance. HOWEVER, it can make an endless amount of difference. So, you can give the money (should you choose to participate--and I hope you will!) to whichever environmental group you choose---but if you're not sure where to give, may I propose a suggestion?

The D. Landreth Company sells heirloom, non GMO seeds. What are those? Well, they are seeds the way nature intended, and they arent coated with chemicals or crossbred with frog DNA. They are seeds that make healthy, yummy, chemical free vegetables. And, due to a banking error, the company has until the end of the month to raise 1,000,000 dollars. Yeah, that's a ton of money, I know. However, did I mention that every little bit helps. And it does. They've already seen a HUGE response and are steadily reaching their goal. So I urge you to go and buy a seed catalogue, or some seeds! Even if you don't garden, I bet you know someone who does who would appreciate the gift!

You can check out their website and order here: https://www.landrethseeds.com/

Challenge 10: Make some toothpaste! Alright, so, in case you were unaware, toothpaste contains, among other things, formaldehyde and triclosan. Both of which are dangerous. Both of which cause cancer, among other things. Therefore, conventional toothpaste should really be avoided. But, luckily for you all, it's super easy to make your own. And, in a pinch, plain old baking soda will do! So, the general toothpaste recipe you can use is:
1 part baking soda
1 bark liquid glycerine soap
a TINY dash of salt

... voila! Mix, and you have toothpaste!
It's better for you, better for your teeth, better for your health, and a natural tooth whitener.

Okay, challenges issued!

Best of luck my little chickadees!
