Products...New to Me

I get no kind of compensation for discussing these products.  I just like them.

I bought this bamboo hair brush at Richard's Whole Foods here in Florida.  I really like it a lot.   I can even use it on wet hair without snarling or pulling.  I plan to buy another one to take back to Vermont.



I went to a service auction recently.  Money was being raised for both the Wounded Warriors project and for EARS, a no-kill animal rescue and shelter in a nearby town.  I bid on a massage.  The certificate came in a gift bag with these products--a body cream, peppermint foot cream, and lip balms.  I will definitely be saving the lemongrass body cream for times when outdoor activities might require insect repellent, which is what lemongrass smells like to me.

What I really like about these products, though--they come in completely biodegradable, compostable containers.

 In my family, I am known as the garbage police so family members will understand my pleasure at finding these items.

  1. I've grown lemongrass in pots on my porch to keep the mosquitoes away. Didn't stop them completely but we don't know how much worse it might have been without the plants. I'll be curious to know if it make a difference. I know you get bugs in Florida too so gives us an update when you try it out.

  3. I'm with you in helping our environment by looking for biodegradable products. I'm so glad Hawaii is finally banning most grocery store, etc. plastic bags. I carry reusable bags with me whenever I go shopping. Your bamboo brush makes me almost wish I had longer hair. I'll tell my daughter about it. Thank you!

  8. Lucky you getting a massage. That is pure pleasure. Wish I had known about lemongrass when I lived in Fl. We don't have mosquitoes in the Ozarks so I will pass.
    Have you felt bamboo material? Someday I am getting a blouse made from ti
    It is so silky.

  10. I've never heard of such a brush so I had to go Google it. Amara has the worst time combing out her hair- especially if it is wet. I will have to order her one of those. Thanks!

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
