#3: Shoe Filth, Don't Botha' Me


Remember when I said, two days ago, that I was going to do simple things?
I wasn't kidding.

Today, I declared my home a shoes-off house.

"What?!" you say. "That isn't Environmentally friendly!! That's crazy-lady-who's-afraid-of-dirt friendly!!" While this is certainly true, it is also a known eco-tip. Oh, the crap we walk through everyday. Yesterday I picked up my briefcase (which had been sitting on, erg, the couch for a day or two) and discovered a neon-yellow piece of chewing gum stuck to it. And my briefcase only touches public ground a few times a week. Compare that to your shoes. Ew.


Anyway, by keeping Allah-only-knows what shoe-transported toxins out of your home, you are not only ensuring a less toxic lifestyle for yourself, but you are SERIOUSLY cutting down on the frequency of sweeping, mopping, scrubbing, vacuuming, dust-busting, Swiffering and whatever else it is that you do to keep hygenic. So, in the long run, a shoes-off home is a less wasteful home.

TA-DA!!

p.s. yes, this DOES mean that if you visit me, you best lose the sneaks. Or I will destroy you.
