Have a Lovely Green Weekend + Happy Valentine’s Day

February 12, 2010 6

Hello Lovely Readers,

How was your week? Did you get your valentines done? If not, here are a lot of fun ideas that you could do before Sunday. Are you ready for the weekend? I know, I am. My weekend starts with Eben’s class Valentine’s Day party this afternoon. How fun is that? I love to see little kids dressed up in red, white and pink for love day. It is always so much fun to see them exchange and open valentines. Their delight is precious and genuine.

Sunday morning, Eben will wake up to find the first clue to his Valentine’s Day Scavenger Hunt on his bedroom door. This is always his favorite part of Valentine’s Day, searching for the clues. What comes next is a secret, but if you promise not to tell. I have a surprise Valentine’s Day brunch planned for Mr. Sweet Greens and Eben. I am going to decorate our dining room in red, pink and white, complete with a fancy table setting and hearts hanging from the chandelier. On the menu, heart shaped waffles, omelets and for dessert {of course you have to have dessert after Valentine’s Day brunch} heart shaped cinnamon rolls. I can. not. wait. I love, love, love brunch.

The rest of the weekend is going to be devoted to relaxing and enjoying each other’s company.

How about you lovely readers, what are your Valentine’s Day plans?

Your weekend plans? Are you doing anything fun? How about for President’s Day? Do you have the day off of work? Do you have anything fun coming up?

Here are a few things, you may have missed::

Did you enter to Win! A set of PeopleTowels?
Did you watch ‘A Wake Up Story’? {It made one of my readers cry}

Did you get a chance to vote in The Rikrak Studio 2010 Handmade Olympics? {Sweet Greens was nominated for the thrifty-forward, sustainably minded blog}

Have a lovely green weekend. Stay warm and safe.

xo,
Sweet Greens.

Green Your Valentines Day:: Dr. Alkaitis Organic Holistic Skin Food {Giveaway!} CLOSED

February 12, 2010 90

Can you believe that it is already the middle of February? Are you ready for Spring? My skin is most definitely ready for Spring. How about yours? If so, you will love today’s giveaways.
Do you remember Dr. Alkaitis Holistic Organic Skin Food? Do you remember Dr. Alkaitis Holistic Organic Skin Food is one of my favorite natural body product lines? Dr. Alkaitis is a chemist, molecular biologist, ethnopharmacologist and pharmacognosist so, when it comes to the right plant derived products to use on your skin, he is the person to ask. Dr. Alkaitis has used his vast knowledge of plants to create a product line that uses a holistic approach to healing the skin. How lovely is that?
I love, love, love Dr. Alkaitis Holistic Organic Skin Food. One of my favorite products is the organic Nourishing Treatment Oil. The Organic Nourishing Treatment Oil is divine smelling, uniquely therapeutic healing oil that can be used for the scalp, face, and body. This ‘miracle in a bottle’ improves skin elasticity and nourishes dry and damaged skin. One of the reasons that it is my favorite is because it nourishes and treats my super sensitive skin and leaves it feeling hydrated and moisturized. You can read more reasons that I love Dr. Alkaitis‘ Holistic Organic Skin Food here and here.
If you really care about your skin, then Dr. Alkaitis Holistic Organic Skin Food is the perfect little Valentines gift for yourself. And guess what? I am giving away a full size bottle of the organic Nourishing Treatment Oil to one of my lovely readers. A $60 Value. Lucky.

DIY:: CD Jewel Case Photo Frame.

February 11, 2010 2

If you are like me, you probably have a drawer full of CD jewel cases, right? I saw this super cute do it yourself CD jewel case photo frame at Shutter Sisters. Isn’t it fabulous? You just take the case carefully apart and put it back together so that it sits this way. What’s even lovelier is that Shutter Sister has included the template to create and print your own fabulous little photo calender. Love. Wouldn’t these be perfect for your hubby for Valentine’s Day? Perfect for his office desk, no?

Letter C Designs:: Eco Friendly Planners

February 11, 2010 2

I am a huge planner person. My entire life is written down and planned out, sometimes weeks or months in advance. Everything that I do everyday is catalogued, that is just the type of person that I am. I learned a long time ago, that if I am super organized, then I am super happy. This is because I am never stressed out about what I have forgotten to do or realized at the last minute that something important needs to be done. I love, love, love these Eco friendly planners from Letter C Design. They are so simple and pretty.

How about you lovely readers? Are you a planner person?
Do you write everything down?
How do you keep your life organized?
