Redflower Organic Birch Mild Soaking Plunge

I love taking baths! I have written a few articles before about herbal baths that you can do at home. There is nothing better after a stressful day than to sit in a hot bath and just de-stress. Baths or hydrotherapy is wonderful for the body for a multitude of reasons. Use any excuse you want to take some time out for yourself and help heal your mind and body all at once.

About:

Organic Birch Mineral Hydrotherapy Soaking Plunge is a burst
of muscle and circulatory relief in the nature-based,
Finnish practice of purifying, replenishing and revitalizing
to create radiant skin, good health, long life and vigor.

the health benefits of hydrotherapy are pleasurable and profound. soaking offers a feeling of physical well-being, relieves the pain of physical wounds and aching muscles, calms the mind, and nourishes the spirit.
controlled studies from around the world document medical improvements in patients with low back pain, improved range of motion, psychological and emotional quality of life improvements and improvements with varicose veins.
hydrotherapy is the use of mineral water in various states and temperatures to maintain health and promote healing. steam, ice, hot, tepid, and cold water are all used in a number of ways alone or as part of a therapeutic regimen.
hydrotherapy takes advantage of water’s unique ability to store and transmit both cold and heat. cold has a “depressant” effect, decreasing normal activity, constricting blood vessels, numbing nerves, and slowing respiration. heat-based hydrotherapies, such as hot baths, have the opposite effect. as the body attempts to throw off excess heat and keep the body temperature from rising, dilation of blood vessels occurs, providing increased circulation.
contrast therapies, such as immersing in hot and then cold water, are used to dramatically stimulate circulation. for example, a thirty minute contrast bath beginning with soaking for four minutes in a hot tub and then dropping into a cold plunge for one minute, repeated for a total of thirty minutes, can produce a 95 percent increase in blood flow.

Kids Organic Cooking Classes for Fall

Organic Cooking Classes

I know that this particular class is in Texas but I think the idea is exceptional. I always say it is important to start you children out young when learning about the environment and their health. Why not enroll them in Organic Cooking Classes. If you have the time you can even be their teacher. I know this may not be something all children are interested in but if you do it correctly you can keep them having fun and learning all at once. Do you have classes like this in your area? If not go to local schools or community centers to see if anyone would be interested in starting a program like this. This is an excellent after school activity or even a weekend thing for children.

Equal Exchange

Equal Exchange Coffee, Tea and Chocolate Pairing Wheel If you love chocolate, tea or coffee then maybe you should consider Equal Exchange products. Equal Exchange products are Fair Trade and/or organic but what I like the most about Equal Exchange is how informational their website is. Many “green” companies give you what you want to hear so you will buy what they sell but Equal Exchange really details for their consumers how important our environment and sustainability really is as a part of their practices. Read Equal Exchange’s Resources page to learn about food practices, processes as well as what your choices really mean. My favorite part of Equal Exchange is their Get Involved page.  I personally love any company who is willing to want to educate their customers.  Dare them to do more than just buy something to actually participate in the movement.  How easy could
Equal Exchange
make it for you really?

About Equal Exchange:

Equal Exchange has created Big Change for over 20 years. It all started with an idea: what if food could be traded in a way that is honest and fair, a way that empowers both farmers and consumers? What if trade supported family farms that use organic methods, rather than industrialized agribusinesses that rely on harmful chemicals?

Our founders Rink Dickinson, Jonathan Rosenthal and Michael Rozyne asked these questions as they envisioned a trade model that values the farmers, consumers and the earth. So they took a big risk and plunged full-force into changing a broken food system. In 1986, they started with fairly traded coffee from Nicaragua and didn’t look back. Read more about our story.

Today, Equal Exchange continues to find new and powerful ways to build a better food system. Our products now include fairly traded and organic coffee, tea, chocolate and snacks from farmers all over the world, including here in the United States.

Our worker-owned co-op is based in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Because Equal Exchange was founded with democratic principles in mind, we strongly believe in a one-person, one-vote workplace without a corporate hierarchy. We partner with co-operatives of small-scale farmers who make their own decisions on business and community matters.

From the farmers co-ops to our co-op, we’re providing the best-tasting foods – while also making Big Changes to the way food ends up on your table. We’ll keep the ideas coming.

Eco Logical Skincare

This 4th of July I was out, like everyone else enjoying the sun hoping to get some color on my embarrassingly pasty white legs that literally glow in the dark. I could feel my skin really soaking up the sun and I was really excited to be really feeling the heat of the sun when I remembered at the end of the day “I NEVER PUT SUNBLOCK ON!!!”. I knew this was going to turn into a burn but more importantly what damage was I doing for the future of my skin! I know I have written about the importance of sunblock before but after that weekend I thought it incredibly important to mention it again.
Just this past Saturday my burn subsided and after I got out of the shower my entire chest and arms were blistered! It was horrible and now I am peeling! Soo gross!

Now that I have informed you of my horrible experience in hopes of scaring you straight here is an organic/natural sunscreen.  I am still not sure of the truth about SPF’s but either way protection is protection so use it!

Yoga Kids

YogaKids Foundations Trainings, Teacher Certification and Workshops

YogaKids Foundations Training is the original program that revolutionized the way yoga is taught to children.

Yoga Kids is an excellent idea I think! It is important to teach children about exercise at an early age. Yoga is beneficial for many reasons other than staying in shape. It helps with balance, stress, visualization and teaches children skills they can use throughout their whole lives. Generally gym classes aren’t anywhere near enough exercise and recess only takes place in the earlier grades. Integrating Yoga into daily class schedules can help calm down the students during the day.
Yoga Kids is aimed at helping children grow through Yoga. In a country where childhood obesity is at an all time high we should be teaching our children the benefits of yoga and keeping the mine healthy along with the body.
Yoga Kidsoffers training schedules, tools for schools, dvds, games, supplies, teachers, and clothing. Every week YogaKidsoffers a pose of the week and gives detailed instructions on how to do the pose.  I love it! This site is amazingly cute and incredibly essential for all children. Have you heard of YogaKids?  Do you have yoga in your school?

Organic Lavender Brush Cleanser

Organic Lavender Brush Cleanser

If you wear make up a important part of application is obviously your brushes. I only really started wearing make up in the past few years and I didn’t realize there was so much to learn. While I was having my make up done at a friends house recently she brought out her tool box, as I like to think of it, and then started spritzing this stuff on her brushes. I always thought it was a major no no to get your brushes wet unless you were going to let them sit for days to dry off. This is when my friend explained to me that she cleans her brushes regularly especially before she uses them on anyone else. The spritz she was using was indeed a brush cleanser that she would spray lightly on the brushes, wipe them on a paper towel and let them sit for a little while to make sure they were all dried. I never heard of this before but then I realized I have never cleaned my brushes which made me skeeve a bit.
When I got home I did some research to find a respectible brand of organic brush cleanser if it existed and so I did. Afterglow Cosmetics has the Organic Lavender Brush Cleanser!  The cleanser is only $15 and includes safe ingredients that won’t ruin your brushes or face.  The Organic Lavender Brush Cleanser was something I needed to try immediately because I was now too scared to use my makeup brushes without it.  It never occurred to me that this was something you should do.  Using Organic Lavender Brush Cleanser will help your brushes last longer and if you have a favorite brush you don’t want to part with Organic Lavender Brush Cleanser will help you keep it fresh and clean.

Product Info:
Afterglow’s Organic Lavender Brush Cleanser is the natural way to disinfect your brush collection and keep your skin clean and clear.
Cosmetic brushes can build up oil and bacteria, which can contribute to skin irritation and acne. We recommend that you disinfect your brushes every few days and wash them every few weeks. Avoid makeup and bacteria buildup with our all natural, non-toxic, quick drying, spray on Organic Lavender Brush Cleanser. It’s a quick drying alternative to disinfecting brushes between washes.
