Green Sex!
Jacob Gordon of Tree Hugger wrote a great article on how to green your sex life!
I know, I know, I’m the Queen of uncomfortable subjects (still hasn’t lived down the whole article and month of discussions about the Perfect Bowel Movement). However, organic and green products for your sex life just go to show how far we’ve come in the eco-friendly industry.
As a married woman I appreciate articles like these. If anything, there’s a few suggestions someone could use to spice things up a bit. Without going too far into the subject…
One of my favorite romantic things to do is make a batch of veggie spaghetti for a dinner for two with my man. Lately, his fav way of romancing me is to take me out under the stars or enjoy a small fire.
I personally plan on investing in some bamboo sheets and hemp silk unmentionables when I can afford them. ^_^
How do you green your love life?

Weekend shopping
Getting abit of shopping done this weekend. After filling the car with gas and making a car payment...I plan on buying some herbs and such for product making for EcoGoth!
On my list is:
Almond milk
Stevia
Star Anise pods
Angelica root
Hyssop, dried
Dr. Bronner's Castille soap
Amber bottle
Lip balm tins
Honeysuckle
1 brick
Mom-in-law Kathy bought the almond milk and stevia for me this morning (THANKS!) so I'm not regressing to 175 lbs again with my recent massive doses of sugar in my tea and the like (same for the gallon of whole cows milk in the fridge...).
You might be asking about the brick...well I'm going to be making honeysuckle hydrosol this coming week some time and maybe some rose hydrosol if there are enough roses available. The honeysuckle I'm not actually buying but gathering as there is a TON of it growing aorund here. Mostly its an experiment as I've never made hydrosol with honeysuckle before...
I just found out Three of Cups, a shop where I used to buy dried and fresh herbs and oils is now closed until they can find a new location (the old had heating and air problems and other unhealthy issues). Here's to hoping they get a new local soon!
Maybe I'll bring the video camera along and you can see where I shop, the products I buy and what I make! Stay tuned!
