Introducing decor “moments”
Introducing Monday Moments! What’s a “moment”? Well, it used to be an inside joke between my mother and I, but now I’d like to pull all my Homies in on it. Let’s share moments, shall we?
Family cloth: would you go toilet paper-free?
We’ve talked about all sorts of eco-friendly home hacks, but let’s try the final frontier of reusable toiletries: FAMILY CLOTH. The concept is pretty straight-forward: rather than wipe your butt with paper that you then wad up and flush into the septic system, you use small squares of soft fabric that you then wash and reuse.
No more toilet paper, ever. Wait, EVER!?
Organizing realization: wine rack for towels
In keeping with what we often call “Basket Moments,” I present to you this simple but brilliant concept: using a wine rack for your towels.
How switching to a menstrual cup helped my home: A TMI adventure
So there are some people who are a little embarrassed to hear about, um, well…*ahem*, “feminine issues.” This is not an article for them. This is an article for the other people who like to get all in other people’s personal business, but understand that because of the constraints of polite society, they can’t always ask all the questions they like.

HELLO! Happy Monday! I know we are all very busy, so I’ll waste no time getting right to the photos I want to show you from the Offbeat Home Flickr pool this week. And in the Clicky Links I’ve got a soap-sludge solution, a tutorial on eyelash application, and a first hand story of what to do (and what not to do) after your house is hit by a tornado.
Butt bench: A party in your bathtub for your butt
I am a complete bath junkie. I know now that this is a type of person, but I didn’t always understand there are others like me. One who, for fun, takes frequent, long, pointless baths. This person reads in the tub. This person is jealous of Marat's bathtub setup, horrible skin disease be damned! This person buys furniture for the purpose of enhancing bathtime.
You, my fellow bath people, will want a Butt Bench.
Oranges! Blues! Feet! Dogs! Tiny lizards! All this week in our reader photos.
