Happy April, everyone!  What a busy month this is...

We’ve got Spring popping up all around us🐣...followed by April Fool’s Day😮... Income Tax Day Day (oh, joy 😝) ... Easter🐰... Earth Day🌍... April Showers Bringing May Flowers🌧💐… and a few more I’m sure I’ve missed.

Of course, you already know my favorite of all the holidays and events in April is EARTH DAY! You’re looking at a bonafide tree-hugging, eco-friendly Enviro Girl here! 🙆‍♀️♻️🌲🌍💚

Besides, the Easter Bunny stopped visiting my house a long time ago...😜🍷 

Hints from Heidi

Personally, I’m a fan of most weeds; they’re just flowers without blossoms in my book, and I figure God probably put them there for a reason.🌱🌾💚

There are a few pricks...er, prickly ones out there that rub me the wrong way, though—specifically the ones with the nasty thistles.🌵😖

But killing weeds doesn’t mean you have to kill the environment or make yourself sick! (Y’know all those lawsuits against RoundUp? Yeah…that’s just the tip of the iceburg, because all pesticides contain chemicals that cause cancer and other illnesses. And, newsflash—everything you put in the ground ends up in our water supply. Just sayin.’😙)

So play it smart: kill weeds with this super-simple and 100% natural, eco-friendly recipe!👇🏽♻️✂️💚 

Heidi Recommends

Let's talk TP... Specifically, stop wiping with trees! 😮🌳

That's right—the majority of paper products (toilet paper, facial tissues, paper towels) are made from "virgin" trees...and that most often means rainforest trees, which is bad, bad, BAD.😱👿

Now my personal favorite toilet paper made from 100% recycled materials (which doesn't mean they're recycling used t.p., for heaven's sake!😖💩; it only means they're recycling previous paper products to create a new paper product!♻️🎉) is White Cloud GREEN EARTH. This stuff is great, but it's not always easy to find.😔

So my second favorite Earth-Friendly TP—and facial tissues and paper towels—comes from Who Gives a Crap.

Is that a fabulous name or what? Ha!💩👍 But the best thing about WGAC.org is that they are:

Check out the Who Gives a Crap website, because truly, they're amazing! 💚 

Not only do they offer 100% recycled paper products... and build toilets in other countries with half the proceeds from their sales... and offer Free Shipping on orders over $25... and deliver straight to your door... but their wrappers and rolls are just plain fun! 😀

Seriously—make a really smart, Earth-friendly change and check them out! 🤓
