Good for Adults, too! I got a small sample of this product in a gift bag I won and it happened right at a time last year when I was looking for alternatives for Naprosyn and other petroleum jelly based wound protection. I read that lavender oil is great for burns - and the ingredients in this bottom balm are all natural...

My FAVORITE Yoga Studio! Hey SustainLaners - I have started going to a really excellent local yoga studio - they teach primarily Iyengar style, and have a great Monday night restorative class. It's conveniently located just a few blocks from Ashby BART, and they offer the cheapest yoga classes in the East Bay.
If you are...

Excellent moisturizer, easy to carry! I prefer to use oil-based lotions to creams - they soak into my dry skin much better. I'm a bad vegan - I am not averse to bee products (my grandad was a beekeeper and I know that responsible custodianship of bees does not result in their death, detriment or inconvenience).

Great new little organic grocery While visiting my mom in the Cleveland Metro Area town of Mentor (a town which has ZERO recycling btw, wtf?) - I was pleasantly surprised to find Danny's in a small strip mall next to the diner where we were meeting friends for breakfast. This area is dominated by big box stores -- Whole Foods and...

A Non-Challenging Book on a Trendy Topic "Real Food: What to Eat & Why" by Nina Planck has a beguiling cover that seems to offer promises of quality guidelines and content. While Planck writes with great passion in an accessible, chatty style, I found much of her book to be pompous, arrogant and repetitive. Although she does use...

Not for the faint of heart I confess - I can't read Sharon's blog on a daily basis, not too closely anyway, or I'll get down right morose. Sharon is serious about being 100% self-reliant when global crisis hits. She writes articulately about peak oil, preparing for food shortages by growing, conserving and storing food, and...

A good last resort meal... I confess - I have eaten Amy's meals before. I always feel guilty with the horrible plastic wrapper. It's really cheap ingredients with horrible packaging -- only a good solution in a pinch. It is much greener to make up and freeze my own rice-veggie bowls -- tastier, too.
As far as processed...

Room for Improvement I've been a user of Evite for as long as it has been out - about 10 years, perhaps. I love the convenience, the flexibility and the ability to look up past events and cross reference people and events.
However, it does have a way to go -- security, namely. My free email account set up just to...
