How I like my vegetables.

Oddly enough I still bought my market vegetables from this vendor. Hey, as long as THAT does not come in contact with any of the produce, it is all cool.

Easter Matcha.

Contains up to 137 times more of the really good for you EGCG antioxidant than steeped green tea and comes with a bunny. Only at Easter. The bunny. Not the Matcha.

A new addition.

This weekend I welcomed Squeaky-clean Scrub from Small Planet into my home. A sibling to See-thru Cleaner and Germs-be-gone. This delicious smelling scrub actually makes having your head in an oven enjoyable.

Hibernation time.

The Canadian cold has frozen my ability to think about anything other than sleep. I have crawled into a den with a bear for the next five days. I promise to let you know how tidy they keep their winter home.

No way to treat Santa.

Dear Renovators:

Even though my toilet is new, it is still a toilet. And not a place to leave cookies for Santa. Or yourselves.

Spread cheer not germs,

The Hygiene Hunter

Joy to all Hygieneistas.

If you are going to sit on Santa's knee make sure he is plastic. Much easier to clean than fabric. Happy Christmas!

Spreading the clean.

Sneak peek. This is what the Hygiene Hunter is stuffing into stockings this Christmas. COMPLETELY natural soaps MADE IN CANADA available at Coup.

Christmas in a blender.

Green, red and good for you. Two cups of kale, one apple, one cup of water and Vita-Mix.

Strange Thursday.

This is like a playpen for the Hygiene Hunter. Super fun. Do you wonder how superbugs can exist in hospital settings with all this at your disposal?

Strange Wednesday.

Finally. 5:20 p.m. in the Emergency waiting room I encounter blog worthy material. A dad stores his hat in his daughter's vomit bowl.

Strange Tuesday.

Strange to me anyway. If I were a construction worker I would not leave any forensic evidence behind.

Strange Monday.

The first odd thing I see each day this week I will post. Careful where you eat today because someone dropped their hair net.

For feather duster lovers.

'The grime and dust I sweep all away,

My mind no trouble can borrow,

For deadly disease, which lurks therein,

Is routed today, for tomorrow.'

'The Happy Housewife's Song' 1899

A safety-sealed toilet.

This is the first one that I have encountered in my travels. A little bird told me this is common in lower-priced hotels. Cheap and clean. Hahaha.

No complaints.

Look! I came across more poo on my walk. I still avoided it out of respect for the artist.

Relax.

This is one variety of poop you do not have to concern yourself with.

The Store Bought Diet.

This picture is a forward from my friend Lilliana. According to a Google search, this bag of spinach has been making the rounds since 2006. I do not know what to say other than this frog is a survivor.

The Backyard Diet.

As I was cleaning carrots I pulled from my mother's garden, I thought about A: the nutritional value and B: how happy these carrots must be to avoid processing, shipping and manhandling. And by carrots I mean me. If I were to go on the 100 Mile Diet I would have to subsist on apples, grapes, carrots, kale, potatoes, corn, onions and goldfish from the pet store.

Making an example of this kale.

To prove to you that I am not overly paranoid I bought this kale despite the fact it was dropped ON THE FLOOR of the organic garden shop by the adorable little boy who was carrying it to my car. I did not freak out. Really. I brought the kale home. Put it in my LG Washer/Dryer on the Steam Fresh setting and TaDa -- sanitized kale.

When hygiene really counts.

My first pair of Toms. A company with good intentions started in 2006. According to their website, “A leading cause of disease in developing countries is soil-transmitted diseases, which can penetrate the skin through bare feet. Wearing shoes can help prevent these diseases and the long-term physical and cognitive harm they cause."
