Pass the Dutchie

There’s kind of a stigma that comes with saying that you try to live in an earth friendly manner. To a certain segment of the population, all that means is that you don’t eat meat or wash your hair, wear lots of tie-dye and eat tofu. While I do actually like tofu and was a vegetarian for several years, […]

Handmade Delights

 
If you are still on the hunt for last minute gifts, check out Etsy. For yourself that is, because they are not likely to arrive in time for Christmas…slacker. They only sell handmade goods. It’s the perfect place for someone such as myself who doesn’t want to contribute to the consumerism trend, but well I […]

Smooth Shaving

Since becoming a mother last year I have had to seriously scale back my beauty regimen. No to say that it was long and involved before. If I spent an hour on my hair and makeup every morning I would feel like a drag queen. However, the one thing I do remember to do everyday […]

Turn on Your Heart Light Now

My husband used to love to give me massages. Get your mind out of the gutter. A real massage, not one that is used solely for foreplay. He would get nice massage oils and light candles, soft music, the whole nine yards. I will say that it is one of the things I miss the most […]

It’s the Thought that Counts. I Think You Suck.

Some people are really hard to shop for. You know the kind. No matter what it is, they find a way to point out what they don’t like about it. When you buy them what they asked for, they complain about your lack of creativity. So I have decided this year to give up. If they’re […]

Return from the Land of the Lost

 So having just returned from our Thanksgiving family extravaganza, I am so thoroughly over the Holidays. They aren’t even over yet; I know don’t remind me. In a month we will have to schlep ourselves to the other Coast and do it all over again-lovely. This week will be spent detoxing on a major level. Nothing […]

Not Your Mother’s Natural Soap Bar

“Like angels crying on your tongue”. That is how my friend describes the cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery in NYC. Biting into one of these confectionery creations is an experience in and of itself. Everyone should experience it at least once in your life and once you do you will be forever changed. I feel the same […]

Pure and Positive Energy.

I just had to share something that really struck me as true. I came upon this saying this morning, and have not been able to get it out of my mind.
Want beautiful skin? Drink lots of water and eat delicious, local, organic foods. Get a little sunshine and plenty of exercise. Give freely, love unconditionally, […]
