What is beauty? I know there have been many articles and tv shows based on this question. They say if you are symmetrical in eyes, nose, mouth, skin color, complection, you are more attractive. I&#8217;ve even been told by astrology that if you are born as Virgo is in conjuction with Chiron you will be born one of the beautiful ones and it is just your destiny. So many perspectives. My own, is doing the best with what you were born with. We are all so different and unique. Finding the qualities you like about yourself and enhancing them is a start. Using products straight from Mother Nature is a way to sustain your natural beauty.</p>
<p>This blog is a means to bring (sexy) nature back.  There are so many products on the  market that don&#8217;t have the exposure of the big company advertizing, but the products are so much better, for you, and the environment.</p>

Every day take in the essence of an herb or flower. This time of year, especially in New England, we are looking to keep warm. Try adding some cinnamon, ginger or cardamom to your hot teas, any hot drink, like a cider or even hot cereals.</p>
<p>These herbs not only will keep you warm, but will stave away infection, prevent mouth and throat troubles and protect your lungs from being invaded by external pathogens.</p>
<p>Enjoy this new season and be well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://bodyseasonings.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/perfume.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-34" title="perfume" src="http://bodyseasonings.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/perfume.jpg?w=150&#038;h=145" alt="" width="150" height="145" /></a>I love this time of year. Getting together with family, friends and conversing with clients about the holiday season. Most people are thinking of what to buy and for whom. Even with the economy in trouble, everyone wants to find the perfect gift. My holiday spirit arrives with being creative. I love making gifts, and now my family, friends and clients look forward to them. Being blessed with organic materials, I spread the love and my knowledge of  why it is important to use my organic products. Who wouldn&#8217;t want a lemon sugar body scrub or a soy wax candle made with pure essential oils of organic plants and flowers? Once knowledge is bestowed upon you, don&#8217;t you want to know more? Lemons, sugar, oils&#8230; all simple pleasures in nature, isn&#8217;t this a notion that makes you want to immerse yourself in it? Sounds seductive, enticing, because it is.</p>
<p>Why would anyone really want to immerse themselves in D and C RED NO.8 or HYDROQUINONE, really? Are these even words?(haha! even spell check asked me if this is a word..uber funny!)</p>
<p>Organics entered my life as a massage therapist. I knew I would be immersed in lotions and creams all day and I couldn&#8217;t read the labels on the jars of cream distributed by my school. They said it was therapeutic, but I had that feeling of a brick sitting in my stomach every time I read the label and couldn&#8217;t pronounce half the words displayed on the jar. So, a gut feeling, a feeling we all should know to listen to, sent me looking for books of ingredients on the internet.</p>
<p>What I found was very disturbing. Something had to be done(threw my cape on!)duntduntdahh&#8230; this was the beginning of my journey into the rabbit hole! I became an aromatherapist and started creating  skin care lotions and creams. Then came the politics, oh no! I never liked politics, yes, an avertion to it, but there was no other way to understand why anyone would ever put ingredients in products that are meant for humans, (babies &#8220;baby oil&#8221;/mineral oil ). A mixture of refined liquid hydrocarbons derived from petroleum..huh? The stuff we put in our cars??? Oh our cars, petroleum, government, war and the all mighty dollar! As they say, &#8216;follow the money trail&#8217; and you shall find your answer.  They have made a believer out of me, when I so much didn&#8217;t want to be.</p>
<p> It is urgent for all of us, as consumers, parents and friends to take time to READ labels. In this country it is a blessing (maybe in disguise) to have lists of ingredients. Empower yourself and the people around you to know what is really good for them. As I said in my earlier blog, it is our buying dollars that demand what is produced.</p>
<p>Here is a great site that has listings of 52,183 products with 8,810 ingredients, Skin Deep, a cosmetic safety base, <a href="http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/about.php">http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/about.php</a>. You can type in the name of just about any body care product in your home and it will give you its safety reading and what is in it.</p>
<p>I will be including a daily new ingredient for you to learn about. Just so you can imagine the havoc it can reek on the human body, pets and our environment.</p>
<p>So, back to the holiday spirit! Another post is coming your way to enlighten you throughout this season. There are  many ways to bring  joy and pleasure to the ones you love through gift giving. Be sure to show each other love by loving your mother(Mother Earth), the one who sustains you, you will be forever cared for.  As they say give and you shall receive.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://bodyseasonings.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/perfume1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-32" title="perfume" src="http://bodyseasonings.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/perfume1.jpg?w=150&#038;h=145" alt="" width="150" height="145" /></a>I created my blog in December of 2008 as I created my website. This site was to be maintained along with my site. The blogging never manifested,  until now.</p>
<p> There are many of you out there that believe in what I do so much that I have to find a way to make this blog work. I have the knowledge , the energy and the passion to share enormous amounts of information concerning healing, beauty and everything truly organic.</p>
<p>Lets start out with why this blog is important. Grean and Black are profound colors in my immediate world.</p>
<p>Green represents &#8220;The Mother&#8221; the one who sustains us. How can I as a bodyworker, mother, and friend take care of the place that sustains me? Lets begin with easy, simple ways to integrate new behaviors daily.</p>
<p> Always be open to new ways to recycle, reuse and most of all, be conscious of where our $$money$$ is being spent. As I have researched and learned from many green experts&#8230; our $$money$$ is what determines what is being produced for the masses.</p>
<p>So if spending is like voting, we must put our $$money$$ on what products we would like to &#8220;win&#8221; even if it costs a few dollars more now, later, the cost will be less, based on demand.</p>
<p>Everything you see on this blog for personal and business use is purchased with a consciousness of &#8220;The Mother&#8221;</p>
<p>Every day I will share how easy it is to shift our $$&#8217;s and our conscioussness to caring about the 1 thing that sustains our lives and the things we love&#8230; in fun and passionate ways ;0)</p>
<p>The Black represents people of color. When you look at the statistics of consumers of depreciating products (cars, clothes, alcohol etc.) blacks dominate in this category.</p>
<p>Another reason for wanting to reach out to this community is to give education and empowerment. It would be awesome to see better, more informed decisions made with their $$&#8217;s. A light needs to be cast onto business and products that are creating health and wealth by making conscious, educated choices to move away from producing self deprecating products.</p>
<p>Now you know why I am here. Let the fun begin!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s start with a few of my favorite companies. I will continue to highlight products and services. There are many that call themselves &#8220;green&#8221;, but on my journey through &#8220;productland&#8221; I&#8217;ve discovered something called &#8220;greenwashing&#8221; I am dedicating a whole section on my blog to expose companies and products new &#8220;green&#8221; selling tactics.</p>
<p>We are gonna get down and dirty! I will reveal organic products unlike any others&#8230;the excitement of finding products so unadulterated has been a task in itself, but once found its orgasmic&#8230; organically ;0)</p>
<p>Continuing the search for purely organic products, there lies the question about our food. My blog will have a section dedicated to food called &#8220;Doin&#8217; it Raw&#8221;.  This will be a guide to understanding the connections between food/health and beauty.</p>
<p>My blog will also be focused on the link between our product consuption and the people and land that have been used, shining a light on charitible acts of companies that are giving back to &#8220;The Mother&#8221;.</p>
<p>Last but not least, my specialties will be continuously shared and highlighted. **STOP* PLUG-IN* RECHARGE** this space will provide you with goods, services and stories that will inspire you to continue to create a healthy, beautiful sustaining lifestyle.</p>

<div><a name="1792179597380776798"></a></div>
<h3><a href="http://bodyseasonings.blogspot.com/2008/12/first-blog-ever.html">first blog ever&#8230;</a></h3>
<div>Am I supposed to say that? Well, just gettin&#8217; with it.<br />
I never really felt the need for one, but now I do.<br />
I just created the most amazing website, all by myself WOW technology&#8230;, it&#8217;s getting beyond anything I&#8217;ve ever dreamed, and I dream alot!<br />
Just wanted everyone to know what I&#8217;m up to, since I&#8217;m always up to something!&#8230;<br />
New website to allow my clients and new business partners to get a feel for what I do.<br />
I am a healer first. Business person 2nd and out of all this comes my creations. I can now teach all of what I have learned. I just received my NCBTMB license this year to teach therapists around the world.<br />
Now I have the proper Venue to display my creations and perform my Healing Arts at the Alchemy/ Growing Green Co-op in Hartford, CT. We will have workshops, hands on classes for aromatherapy, organic skin care products.<br />
I will also have workshops for healing the body(such as Acupressure for Pain(fibromyalgia), Couples massage and Mom and baby massage classes)<br />
This gives you a peek into all of my actions and plans.. I will be updating the blog weekly for now, until I have more information and continuing to update my website.<br />
So keep checking in. I promise it&#8217;ll be more exciting next time.<br />
Just have to get used to this forum. Be Well.</div>
