Product Spotlight: No More Chemicals

These cloths are awesome.  Though they're basically just wash cloths, to be honest.  What's cool is that they have particles of silver (naturally antibacterial) woven into the fabric.  We bought them at HomeGoods, but I'm sure you can find them many places.  I don't think there's any difference between the "All Purpose" and "Bathroom" cloths other than the color.

The texture is great.  Super effective.

"Chemical free" month is going pretty well.  I've found myself using the rubbing alcohol in bathroom cleaning when I'm not thinking, but, other than that, it's pretty easy.  Borax and vinegar get our clothes super clean and I like how cost effective and good for the environment that particular switch is.

Puzzle Pieces

Things are coming along nicely in our apartment, so I thought that I would share some of the progress.  Keep in mind that each of these photos is extremely contrived.  It's still chaos in here, but I moved it around a bit to allow the place to show it's potential.

Be sure to knock on wood, but I'm confident we'll be done (painting and all) when February rolls around.  We'll be ready for our housewarming party in time for Ian's birthday (2/24), so they'll coincide nicely.  I'm starting to feel pretty good about things around here.  It's been difficult because I haven't wanted to be in our apartment at all.  Also, friends are starting to feel a little weird about my unwillingness to have anyone over.  Time is of the essence.
