Today’s tip comes from The Road Less Traveled owner Delilah Snell.
Every year we waste who knows how much money in gift wrapping — so what options do we have?
Sure, you can simply give an item sans adornments, but what fun is it without some element of surprise to beckon you? But fear not.

A Huntington Beach developer today is hosting a celebration today for his “green living home,” shooting for certification under both the statewide Build It Green program and the internationally known Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program under the U.S. Green Building Council.

In the early 80s, while in graduate school and on a very tight budget, I read a book about living more simply. One of the things it suggested was to use cloth napkins instead of paper.
I tried it, I liked it, and I have been using cloth napkins ever since. Over the years, when I’ve had friends for dinner, I’ve often heard, “You don’t have to break out the cloth napkins for me.” … implying that it’s a bit too fancy, too … elegant for anything other than a four star restaurant.
