For the longest time, this shopperista has been trying to go green. Except I keep forgetting to bring my handy-dandy recyclable bags with me when I go shopping.
Some stores have designated certain days of the week to be “no plastic bag days” and so I’ve been forced to remember to bring my eco-bags with me. Doesn’t matter if you’re a mom or a mesothelioma lawyer, if you can help in any little way to save the earth, you deserve a pat on the back 
.
Sometimes it’s the simplest things that create the mood and bring on the excitement of a new beginning.
