little seed farm...

we are proud to be carrying soap made by eileen and james of little seed farm in tennessee.

these are good people doing good things:

After one too many years of city living, we came to realize that our true dreams lie in our roots. In early 2012 we moved from life in NYC to our farm in rural Tennessee. Our mission is to provide raw milk farmstead cheeses, organic skincare products, and humanely and sustainably raised meats. As we continue down the road we look forward to sharing our journey and reflecting on what we've learned thus far. We hope to inspire others to pursue their dreams.

What we stand for:

• Raising and serving our community healthy, nutrient-dense food
• Providing our animals with a natural and humane environment
• Using nature to guide our animal husbandry practices
• Seeking methods that limit the use of outside inputs
• Adopting practices that utilize the full cycle of nature and minimize waste

in addition to all this good, im a sucker for a cute goat.

things to remember...

we love the work of satsuma press (lynn russell) and we are happy to be carrying her 12 pack of
'things to remember' cards.

these cards are great to give to a friend  as a word of encouragement or to be placed in a space for ourselves as a reminder to:

*wonder
*be true
*do your best
*ask and listen
*have courage
*pay attention
*be kind
*have patience
*keep learning
*slow down
*share
*give thanks

sweet, simple and to the point.

thank you lynn!

herbivore botanicals....

in addition to the lovely soaps and bath salts, we are now carrying herbivore botanicals lip butter and skin toning elixir.

the toner comes in two options:

balance (geranium + lavender)
hydrate (ylang ylang + rose)

i love both of them. i have used them both after the shower, before i put the moisturizer on in the morning and before bed after cleaning my face. they both smell and feel wonderful, a real treat.

the lip butter is bigger and better now. we currently have:

lavender
rose
mint

coming soon: blood orange

all of herbivore botanical products are made with love by julia and alex in seattle. great quality, wonderful scents, simple packaging. can't ask for more.

be present...

being present is hard for me. this is something i am working on. i used to spend a lot of time thinking about/regretting the past and trying to predict the future. this did not leave me much time to be in and enjoy the present. in this work of trying to be more present, the things i do to help myself are:

-meditate (even if for 10 minutes)
-having reminders around me (such as this cute print we are now selling)
-release the past
-being patient with myself
-ask myself, am i ok right now? usually the answer is yes
-be okay with the unknown, even if it is uncomfortable

this is a process, one i will keep working through.
