Burt’s Bees:: Natural Skin Care for Men {Cologne}

February 16, 2009 4

Today is Mr. Sweet Greens birthday. Mr. Sweet Greens was in need of a good cologne so we went shopping for the perfect scent for him. Eben bought him a bottle of Burt’s Bees Natural Skin Care for Men Cologne. We decided on the Burt’s Bees because it smells fab and is all natural. It has the perfect blend of essential oils making for a crisp woodsy scent. Mr. Sweet Greens just opened it and thought it smelled great. If you are looking for a great gift for the man in your life we highly suggest it and it is a bargain at just $25 a bottle. {We bought ours at Whole Foods.}

What is your fave natural men’s cologne?

Look What I Woke Up to Today.

We woke up to find several inches of snow on the ground. I still can’t believe it is only October and we have so much snow. It started snowing as we were getting ready for bed last night and it hasn’t stopped. School was canceled so Eben is enjoying a nice quiet day at home. How lucky is that? Sounds like the perfect day to snuggle up on the sofa with a nice cup of tea, don’t you think? I also think now would be a good time to bring in the patio furniture.

If you live where it snows, has it snowed yet?

xo,

Sweet Greens

 

Green Tips:: Please Don’t Treat and Drive.

January 27, 2009 2

When it is time for the kids to head out to trick-or-treat this Halloween, please have them walk door to door. I have seen a new trend where parents drive their kids from house to house. Please consider the amount of C02 that goes into the air as you drive around and idle all night waiting for the kids.

Thankfully, we live in a huge neighborhood that is walkable and safe for the kids to walk from door to door this Halloween. We could spend the entire evening out trick-or-treating, door to door, and never hit every house in our neighborhood.

We, however, have lived in rural areas where the houses aren’t close together. We would spend the afternoon and evening with our close friends and trick-or-treat in their large neighborhood. If you live in a very rural area, consider taking the kids to a nearby friend’s neighborhood, or you could go to a local shopping area or library to do some trick or treating.

You could trick or treat at home if these are not your options. Everyone could dress in their costumes and go to room tricking and treating. You could then provide a fun, spooky movie, popcorn, and some fun treats for the rest of the evening.

How are you going to spend your Halloween?
