Make Your Own Yoga Mat Cleaner

By
My husband and I have both been doing Yoga lately and since we usually don't do it together (he likes mornings and I detest them) we frequently use the same mat.  Even if that wasn't the case, anything that you exercise on frequently surely needs a good cleaning now and then.  Also some mats you can't tell one side from the other so who knows if your doing corpse pose on the side that was pressed against the floor last time.  eeck..

Anyway, I found a bunch of sites that show you how to clean your mats without having to buy special cleaner which I've heard is hard to find at stores.  Online you can get it for $10 - $20.

3 Healthy Chicks has instructions on how to deep clean your yoga mat, make a spray cleaner, a lavender spray, and a water/vinegar spray.  So lots of options for any budget!!

I also like this post on how to make a yoga mat cleaner spray with a how-to video!

Mango Salsa Tilapia - GOOD!

By
Before we ate dinner last night I had to take a picture "in case it was good"...and it was!  Awhile ago I posted a Mango Salsa Chicken recipe that we absolutely LOVE.  Last night I put the salsa (I get it at Costco) over Tilapia and it was GREAT!  Not to mention very easy on the thighs. :)


All you do is thaw the tilapia and put it in a baking dish.
Pour on the Mango Salsa.
Bake for 30ish minutes at 400 degrees

Tilapia Fillets are on sale at Winco for $2.98 lb.  Tell me if you know of a better deal. :)

GIVEAWAY: Usborne Books -CLOSED-

By
Winner

Our very own Veronica is now hooked up with Usborne Books!  She has an eShow going on now if you'd like to take a look around.  For Christmas my daughter got a reusable sticker book from Usborne books and she loves it!


Sticker Dolly Dressing Ballerinas & Dolls keeps my 3 year old happily entertained!
And she'll appreciate it more and more as she gets older. :)  Usborne Books also has a great warranty.  You can replace a book that has been damaged at 50% of cost.  That's nice for books you want to keep forever.


We were also able to review "That's Not My Monkey", which I absolutely LOVE.
My 3 year old was able to "read" it to her Dad by the time he got home!  We were all so impressed!!  And my one year old loves feeling all of the textures.
Such a great book!!!  With what I've tried so far I'm very impressed with Usborne Books.  They are high quality and they help keep my kids out of my
hair for a bit. :):)

GIVEAWAY: Cowgirl Chocolates! -CLOSED-

By
Winner

I'm pretty new to the world of spicy chocolate.  I'm really starting to like it!  You don't notice it at first and then all the sudden KA-BAM, your nose is burning. :)
The chocolates and caramels are high quality and GOOOOOD.  Cowgirl Chocolates has an amazing selection of spicy and non-spicy chocolate.  For example, Spicy Cherry Mango Almond Bark!  Doesn't that sound good!  I bet it would clear up a stuffy nose and improve your circulation. :):)


Cowgirl Chocolates also sells spicy hot chocolate, spicy hot caramel dessert sauce, peanut brittle and lots more.  They have won 19 product and 2 packaging awards, which doesn't surprise me a bit.  I received a box of truffles to review and not only was it incredibly good it was also incredibly easy on the eyes. :)

One Tight Wad Reader will win a 1/3 pound Sampler of Cowgirl Chocolates!

Here's how to win:

When to Start Your Garden

By
I'm really new at gardening.  As a child I saw my parents plant one or two over the many years.  It was only about six years ago, when I bought my house, and had a small patch of dirt to call my own that I actually tried growing food.  And it was only last year that I really tried, as in I planted more than two things!  I even bought some good dirt and put it all in one spot so I could say I had a garden, and not just a few plants growing in my back yard.

For the last year now I've been doing a lot of reading on gardening.  I even checked out a book or two from the library!  But the best thing I did was subscribe to mysquarefootgarden.  Just this month I started getting emails that told me it is time to start planning my garden.  Here it is February and I find myself thinking about growing vegetables.  It's actually sort of refreshing.  So this morning I pulled out my folder where I had my assorted leftover seeds.  Out of the 12 things I hope to plant this year I still hav…
