I’ve always had hippie tendencies. In 2012, I decided to (finally!) unleash my inner hippie. To me, this means living in a more natural, deliberate, environmentally friendly, and frugal manner. For example, when I want to buy something, whether it’s a personal care product or clothing or jewelry or anything else, I’m going to ask:

• Do I need it?
• Can I make it myself?

I’ll share my adventures, recipes, tips, discoveries, and anything else that might be useful here. If you have any questions or suggestions, please email me at fanmail at hitbyapitch.com.
