Day 64: I See Green Everyday


The first thing I do every morning is make a cup of steaming coffee using my French press. I add sugar & almond milk, then blend it all together. Coffee - it's my necessity, or maybe it's just a habit, but I do so enjoy it.

I take it outside on my porch, sit in my comfy chair & relax while the birds sing. It's a wonderful way to wake up, prepare & plan what I'll be doing for the day. 

How do you start your day? Is it always the same?
Are you a morning person (like me)?

It's the fourth day in 30 Days Of Reflection Photo Challenge & it's all about something green. This photo is what I see everyday. It's just a small portion of my backyard. There is tall bamboo, a bush of some sort & Day Lilies.

Want to see my other reflections? Yes? How fantastic!

Soap Monthly, July 2012

Since I know how to make soap, I make all of the soap that is used by my partner & I. Every month, I bring out my supplies & make up a large batch, so we don't have to worry about being nice & clean for the month (or buying those yucky beauty bars!) I will be sharing my creations every month - Won't that be fun? All of my soaps are 100% vegan . . . No animal ingredients & no animal testing.




Color: Smoky Blue
Scent: Vintage Rose

A generous helping of dried herbs makes this soap perfect for exfoliating the body.









Color: Greens
Scent: Bamboo Hemp

I added French Green Clay, which removes impurities & toxins, making it perfect for a facial soap (if you don't have sensitive skin.)









Color: Gold Shimmer/Smoky Blue
Scent: Patchouli/Berry Sorbet

The gold half has lovely chamomile powder & buds. It's heavenly as an exfoliant as well as adding a delightful chamomile scent.





Do you make your own soap or other beauty products?
If so, what do you like to create? Do you sell them or are they just for personal use?
