Welcome

Welcome to Minty Green Life. Let’s be honest here… I am starting this blog as an experiment and an outlet for all the information in my head. I am an alternative health practitioner and recently started my own practice. Translation: I have a lot of free time on my hands.

While it has been nice to have a bit of break, it is really getting old. Plus when I have nothing to do I tend to sit around and freak out about my current financial situation… which is much like any other person starting a business who doesn’t have a money tree growing in the backyard. P.S. if anyone knows where I could get one of those I would really appreciate it.

Due to my professional background (I’m a Chiropractor) and my current frugal lifestyle I have recently been trying to life a much greener, eco-friendlyer lifestyle. You know, practice what you preach? Lot’s of people say this and it means different things for everyone. Here is what it means for me

• eat healthier–bye bye processed foods


• drink healthier–no more blackout boozing


• eliminate toxins–revamp my cleaning routine


• decrease use of plastics–what an uphill battle


• minimize my stuff–hello Craigslist and eBay


• repurpose instead of always buying new–hello again Craigslist and eBay


• buy local and support small businesses–thank you farmers markets and Etsy


• exercise–duh


• think healthier–what is Buddhism anyway?

Quite an undertaking. This blog will essentially be postings that fall into the categories above. Will anyone besides me read it? I hope so. If you are reading this, please keep in mind that I am aware of my horrible spelling and grammar. I already get enough teasing about it from my husband. My defense–I grew up in the era of spell check.

Ok. That is enough of an introduction. Time to get posting! Enjoy.
