As for the blisters, my advice is to try new shoes. Once I got rid of my AWFUL, HORRIBLE, Worst.Shoes.Ever. Mizuno's everything in the blister world has been mostly pain free. When I would get bad ones, I was a fan of duct tape (especially for inbetween the toes) and ice baths (just for the feet). cutting the swelling helped the blisters heal faster, or at least I think they did.

I use a LOT of baking soda & vinegar to clean stuff. I do make my own laundry detergent, and I made some magic carpet cleaner that magically removes pet stains from carpet. (it's magic!) However, the architect washes our wood floors with Murphy's Oil (and then I get hives & swell up) and I do use some Meyer's products when I'm lazy - but I don't think they work any better than my baking soda & vinegar methods. You know what does work better than baking soda & vinegar? Harsh chemical cleaners. :( BUT - my house is still pretty clean, even with my 1930's cleaners. I did post on it, a bit.

I met up with some folks after the gym in ratty sweats Monday night. My boyfriend was APPALLED even though we were in the grimiest bar around... I have no shame. Am I making this up or did you once post something about making your own, green household cleaners? I've taken a very laissez faire approach to household cleaning b/c my boyfriend will do it all, but lately the chemical have been really irritating to me. I think I just need to make up some natural stuff and leave him that to use. Any advice would be awesome! Your comment about wearing flip flops out cracks me up.
