Stella Soaps! – Jewelweed soap’s meow!
Our yard is yet to be exterminated of poison ivy. Why? I’d rather treat it with organic means. I’ve done plenty of reading on how high percentage vinegar does the trick. I’ve tried it! Works great in the full sun, otherwise you don’t hurt the plant AND expose yourself further to it. That’s a problem for folks like me who have been allergic to it since a kid. My husband did a bunch of work on it until now he’s able to get it too. I’m currently looking into a “rent-a-goat” program. Under rules of my subdivision, livestock are not allowed. Think I could get them to approve a couple…

Dialog on Facebook with Shopnear about buying locally…
Twitter has been a wonderful networking tool for me. If you want to see what I’m up to, click here. Another user and myself took our connection on twitter to facebook. “Shopnear” has a discussion list on an important topic: Why buy local? (Click here to cut to the chase and see it) She asked the question and this was my first answer: -less $ spent on shipping -more suited to your own nature…ie water that you drink would be similar water that is used on your food. much like hard or soft water. -it just flat tastes better! -if you eat on seasons, you are less likely to eat…

White beaches and natural art!
This was a jelly fish that was on the beach of Destin, Florida for 10 minutes tops before the surf picked it back up and took it back to the sea. I wonder if the jelly made it? Would it sit on the beach for a time and then gasp for “air” as it was swooshed back into the sea? Nature…it’s just amazing! Can you imagine a homemade soap that had the marks of art like this? It’s in my head! Happy Washing! ~Regina

Indie Business Blog: Stop the FDA Globalization Act of 2008!!
This sort of legislation is parallel to that of small farmers in my opinion. Do we sit idly by and allow it? Nope! Diversity, local, and sustainable choices on food AND beauty products is what I’d like to see as a consumer much less a small business owner. Let me know how I can help. ~Regina Posted by: Regina June 24, 2008 at 01:32 PM Sign the petition by clicking the link and commenting…help us get the revisions that are good for consumers AND small business owners.

SLS beware! – Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
The internet is a marvelous place full of information. Duh! You are going to find two if not more sides to most subjects discussed, written about, posted, etc. Something was brought to my attention via a poll I took from another handmade soaper’s blog. I’m networked with her via twitter. Her poll was about Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and whether her customers avoid this ingredient in their soap choice. I sent my answer and behold the results of the poll were a bit astonishing. At the time I took the poll, 69% did not know what Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is. !!! How can that be? Well…it can…not everyone lives and breathes…

Pickensplan sure breezes thru nice!
From watching the introduction to this plan on their site, THIS is the kind of talk that I’m really glad to hear! Green Energy. No, it won’t be easy, but YES it is doable and will get us through for a bit until we get our wits about us. Why do we need so much oil? Do we really? Those answers aren’t listed. But a practical stop gap measure could help us focus on the other important questions. We are a nation of smart people. We can come up with good, thought through answers to our problems. We can create solid ideas on oil dependence and at the same time, help…
