Going Green Wednesday: Coconut's Triple Threat

Hey Everyone!! I hope you all are doing quite well today. It's Wednesday so if you've been following this blog you know I try to give you all little tid bits on being/going "Green" and my experiences trying to be environmentally responsible. We all know that's a daily struggle for someone like me that loves convenience. But, I hope you all are enjoying these posts. Please let me know your take on these Wednesday posts. You know I love your comments!! Hope you enjoy today's GGW tid bit..

Not so long ago my mom was informing me of the many health benefits coconut water is said to have. It was then she told me there's a saying that coconut can feed, shelter and clothe you. When she mentioned this I immediately thought of bamboo. Today bamboo is touted as one of the most sustainable materials for a number of products. It's so popular some designers promoting sustainability are using it in thier designs. I guess long before the world discoverd the resourcefulness of bamboo there was coconut.

What are your thoughts?

Five Steps to Creating your Home Spa



These days it’s not hard to create a spa like atmosphere. So here are five basic items needed to create a spa like relaxing atmosphere.

Soft Light – Lighting is very important to set the mood for relaxation.

Product – Select your favorite product for your relaxation ritual

Aroma – Scented candles or plug in air fresheners will induce relaxation

Flowers – For some flowers or plants will add to the mood of relaxation. I like bamboo plants for bathrooms because they are low maintenance and require little water.

Music – Having a play list with your relaxing tunes on hand will transport you to your relaxing zone.
