Meet the Newest Member of our Pack

Introducing Suka our 12 week old puppy, pictured with his pack member Tenaya. In January we lost our male husky Neeka to cancer, Tenaya stopped eating and would hide under the sofa and bed, we could tell she really missed Neeka. I found this adorable pup and we have had him for 2 weeks. He is a bundle of joy and he is doing great. I have been busy puppy-proofing everything. My computer time is limited as I have to watch him every minute he is awake. He is thriving on a raw meat diet and loves all kinds of fruits and vegis too. This weekend we took him to the coast and we all had a great time.
We like to explore old graveyards and took the above picture. I will keep you updated on our pack.

Purchased on Etsy for my Valentine's Day Ambush

I purchased this on Etsy for my Valentine.
Scentual Soundtracks: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6371978 offers decadent
sensual ingredients in her skin care products.
Money is tight so my plan is to ambush my husband and give him a candlelight dinner and his very first spa treatment. More about that in another post.

I choose this Facial Mask because of it's wonderful chocolate scent and it looks just like chocolate! The skin pampering ingredients are: rhassoul clay, powdered coconut, powdered chocolate, ground flaxseed, and jojoba oil. It comes in a beautiful eco-friendly cobalt blue glass jar. All you do is take out a level teaspoon of the mask and put it in a small container. Measure 2-3 tsp. of liquid, I plan to use whipping cream, but the possibilities are endless. Buttermilk, yogurt, olive or jojoba oil, honey, milk, green tea, or water, are all good choices. Add liquid, stir and microwave 10-15 seconds. I don't have a microwave so I just put the mixture in a double boiler over water and simmer gently for a few minutes. Apply to face or body and leave on for 5 to 15 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water,
then tone and moisturize. It leaves you skin feeling silky soft and clean. I just love it and want to share with my hubby and you!

Check back next week for my full ambush spa plan!

Eco-friendly Christmas

This Christmas our family decided to make or recycle all of our gifts. The youngest (pictured) told his grandmother he wanted a roll of duct tape for Christmas. We got such a kick out of what he created with it. The knights helmet and wooden sword (covered in duct tape) has been played with more than any of the plastic sets he has had in the past. When it starts to get worn looking, there is nothing a little duct tape can't fix. You can see from the picture how proud he is of his creation, and best of all, his friends all want him to show them how to make one!!
I knitted earflap hats and socks, and gave my organic soaps to everyone. My husband took wooden boxes and wood burned each grandchild's name (we have five) and date and we decorated each box with glass beads or shells, and added a lock and key. Each child received there own special treasure chest.
I received a basket of jams, honey, salsa, garlic braid, and beeswax candles from my daughter and her family, my son's family gave us a beautiful photo album filled with family photos. It was truly the best Christmas ever!!!

Organic Washcloths by Ecogeneration

These three organic handknit washcloths by ecogeneration http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18809058
are perfect to use with our organic Frankincense Clean and Glow.
Nothing feels better on your skin than organic cotton. Ecogeneration's motto is: reduce, recycle, and reuse.

OCM (oil cleansing method is used in many spas). I first experienced it in a day spa and became hooked! The organic oils can actually unclog pores and is less drying than other cleansers.

Here is how it works, shake well to blend the oils, (I like to apply it in the bath or shower since it is so relaxing and the steam makes it work even better). Apply a small amount to your face and neck in a circular motion, cover your face with a warm wash cloth (organic if possible) and let it revitalize your face for a minute or two. If you have time, apply the warm wash cloth a second or third time, wring out the cloth and remove any remaining oils in a circular motion. Your skin will feel deep-down clean. Follow with a toner or one of our HYDROSOLS.

Clean and Glow comes in a cobalt blue glass bottle and contains herbal infused organic olive oil, organic jojoba oil, organic caster oil, vitamin E, pure essential oil, organic roobios tea extract, and organic black willowbark extract. This formula is rich in powerful antioxidants, and vitamin and mineral rich oils. YOUR SKIN WILL FEEL THE DIFFERENCE!
