GO GREEN!

Green is everywhere now but I'm joining the GREEN SMOOTHIE revolution. A really great way to eat lots of greens (less carbs) and very delicious because fruit is added for flavour. By Greens I mean DARK GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES.

"Greens are the primary food group that match human nutritional needs most completely". (p.39)

Greens are high in fiber, Vitamin C, Folate, Vitamin E, Selenium, Sodium, Zinc, Magnesium and much more.

SUN

We've had weeks and weeks of rain in Wellington. Great for the environment although not so good for the spirit. Now we have a gorgeous sunny day and all I feel like doing is sunbathing!

This weekend (9-10 August) the Women's Expo is on in the city. I'm going to check out Global Soaps and choose a range for the website with NZ plants/oceania in mind.

I'm really impressed with the Swedish Bitters Face Mask. I've used it as a mask and a wash in the mornings. It has this wonderfully natural feel and smell about it - quite muddy and very cleansing. I'm swerving a bit off track with this product because it does not contain NZ plants but I feel it is a great product and fills a gap in our range. It is not only a face mask - it is good for pimples on the face and body and can be made into a poultice for pressure ulcers.
