Well I finally went out to the work shop and found my sheets of beeswax! still plyable and smelling fresh. I haven't made candles for a couple years. Now if I can just find my spool of wicking...anyway, I don't have my hives anymore but I had purchased the sheets of the beeswax a few years back. This is just the right time of year to melt some, roll some and enjoy. All natural and unlike the typical paraffin wax candles, they don't drip! and they smell so nice and clean. I'll be posting pics and crafting directions soon! I can't wait to get started!

The Breezecatcher Clothes Dryers dryer is an ecologically friendly product, an outdoor clothes line is free to use and can help you reduce your home energy bill.
This rotary clothesline is hand made, not mass produced or machine assembled, very durable materials, non ferrous to eliminate rust, bright anodised aluminum which is easy to keep clean, but most important of all are the strong aluminum brackets and slides. The Breezecatcher is strong, you can hang heavy items on it and the lines will not sag, easy to open and close, the central support mast is stronger than all other models available from local stores. It's too cool!

What is Ecomowing™?
Remember the old-fashioned, heavy, manual push mowers which once revolutionzed the consumer lawn care industry at the turn of the 20th century (1900 to 1940s). There were dozens of these reel mowers manufactures before World War II, and many reel mowers were used by women. Like housework, women did much of the mowing at that time. More recently, the reel-style push mowers have become nearly extinct, and for good reason; they were heavy, difficult to push, and needed constant sharpening. It was not an enjoyable outdoor experience.
The term "Ecomower" was introduced in 2006 as the modern movement or re-revolution of the old-fashioned mowing method. Some of the mowers being manufactured today, and all of the mowers presented at EcoMowers.com are lighter, quieter, require no sharpening for 5+ years, and are really fun to use.
No gas required. No electric cords either!
Ecomowing™ is an enjoyable exercise and an outdoor activity soon to be as popular as a morning walk or a stroll in the park. Why spend time driving to your fitness center if you can ecomow™ in your front yard, and in 1 hour burn 408 calories! Ecomowers™ are nearly silent, allowing the outdoor sounds of the birds and the breeze to be truly appreciated.

Easy Window Curtains
7:12 PM

Well my dreary beige tab top curtains are gone. I bought 2 white twin size flat sheets at Anna's Linens for $3.99 each and a bag of 14 clips for $7.99. This is per window. For larger windows I would recommend full or queen flat sheets. It took a total time of about 30 minutes and no sewing! If you check out the clearance tables you can find some really good deals. And whats nice about using flat sheets is they come in so many patterns and colors. I fluffed the sheets in the dryer with a dryer sheet to make them smell good and get the wrinkles out. Then laying them out on the bed I folded the top of the sheet down 12 inches then clipped. My bedroom window is standard. However depending on your size the length is very forgiving and flexible. I have mine just an inch from the floor. I pretty much eyed the measurements and only measuring the ends. The clips were used 7 on one panel and 7 on the other. and viola! cheap and chic. The picture doesn't do it justice but I wanted to share my DIY pretty up the window weekend project. It really brightened up the room.

Yoga ~ for Mind, Body, and Spirit

Yoga is more than a physical workout. Yoga is more than a relaxation technique. Yoga is a set of ancient practices that incorporates physical movement with a zen mindset. "Yoga”, in Sanskrit, literally means “union”. Teachers and practitioners of yoga see this discipline as a meeting of the mind, body and spirit-energy. If you follow the philosophical ideals, you will be a greener, less violent, more forgiving, less prideful human being.
It is a state of being.

By now, most of us recognize the importance of eco- friendly living. We know we need to live more conscientiously to conserve what we have - especially when so many of our most precious resources are being unnecessarily depleted!
But how? Where to start? There's so much information out there - much of it overwhelming and difficult to fit into our lifestyles. It's hard to know where to begin to be able to make a difference. The most consistent recommendation is to start slowly. Start small and even the most incremental changes will start to set free your inner environmentalist and things will just keep going from there!Nubius Organics, for products designed for eco-friendly living
