South Florida has a lot of people – this is something that is hard for me to deal with. The pace here is very fast. It seems as though everyone is always in a hurry to get – somewhere. I am NEVER in a hurry. It seems as though many people do not slow down enough to even meet their neighbors.
I think that neighbors are an important part of our communities. Our neighbors can provide friendship and support – promoting a longer and healthier life.
I hope that when we move into our own space that it will be different. That people will have the time to slow down and say hello.
Do you live in a friendly community? Do you know your neighbors? If so, is that a good thing?
Are you looking for the perfect cookies for your Autumn get together? How about these organic little goodies from Cookie Rush. And they are super affordable too! I would pick the little pumpkins or acorns.
And I have a feeling Eben would choose the eyeballs. Of course he would!

Alexandra at Eden Home was so lovely to send me The Eden Home Cucumber Milk Cleanser, Nourishing Day Creme and Chocolate Macadamia Mask to enjoy and that is exactly what I have been doing. The products are a dream to use and it took everything I had to stop Eben from taste testing them. The products came beautifully packaged in a recyclable chocolate colored box with light blue ribbon. The Eden Home Cucumber Cleansing Milk smells exactly like cucumbers and has a lovely lather. The Eden Home Nourishing Day Creme has a soft almond smell that leaves my skin soft and healthy without being oily or greasy. The Eden Home Chocolate Macadamia Mask is amazing. It smells exactly like a nutty chocolate and is very hydrating. Eben begged me to let him try this one out so I gave him what we call a chocolate back rub. When he is taking his bath, I rub a small amount all over his back and he is in heaven.
Eden Home has been so lovely to offer all of my readers 10% off any order $10 or more now through September 30th. Simply use the code “sweetgreens” at checkout. This would be the perfect time to start your holiday shopping.

How was your week? We are taking a long weekend and heading for the hills of North Carolina. We decided it would be fun to hit the road and drive to Autumn – since Autumn doesn’t come to Southern Florida. So, Mr. Sweet Greens rented a cabin in the woods, complete with fireplace and hot tub – by dinnertime tonight, I should be snuggled up with Eben in front of a roaring fire, reading spooky stories.
Mr. Sweet Greens has planned the entire weekend – here is a rundown. We will be attending the 33rd annual Woolly Worm Festival in Banner Elk, because who wouldn’t want to see a Woolly Worm race? Do you remember Woolly worms? I loved them as a child.
We also plan to spend a morning at the Boone County Farmers Market – because it is one of our favorites and everyone needs a little fresh bread and cheese to nibble on, right? There is a visit to the local pumpkin patch and apple orchard, to pick goodies to bring home with us. And I am certain there is a long nature hike, a trip through a corn maze, a hayride with hot apple cider and caramel apples in our future. Yay!
While I lace up my hiking boots, here are a few things that I have been meaning to share with you:
– Looking for a yummy salad for Thanksgiving dinner? You’re welcome. – I think I will transform our bicycles into art – with these cool shelves. – I love, love, love this cardboard zoo. – This has to be the perfect preschool. – Do these Superhero pajamas come in my size? – Eben and I made these yesterday, they are too yummy!
And don’t forget to enter to win a fabulous brooch from Lil Fish Studio.
What do you have planned for the weekend? Are you doing anything fun to celebrate Fall?
Have a lovely green weekend, I miss you already! xo, Sweet Greens
I have talked about how important it is to make an informed decision about thepersonal care products that you use on yourself and your family. I really feel that this is one of the simplest green things you can do for yourself and the planet. I found a great company called Beautorium that will remove a lot of the guess work for you. Beautorium offers a fabulous selection of natural and organic beauty products form around the globe, each product that Beautorium carries has to meet a demanding criteria, where each product:
is natural or organic.
has NOT been tested on animals.
has effective ingredients with proven benefits.
is professionally and beautifully presented.
comes from a compelling brand with company personality.
Each product also comes with a full list of the ingredients, so you can make an informed decision for yourself. (This is super important to me and you can see the personal care ingredients that I avoid here.) Beautorium offers a try before you buy program – you can pick four samples from a collection of their most popular lines for only $10 and you also get $10 off your first order, so essentially there is nothing to lose.
The lavender bath is very relaxing and smells wonderful, best of all it is not oily or greasy – I could use this every single day.
The lip care stick is fabulous and is one of my personal favorite products since I am obsessed with lip care products. I love lip care so much in fact, that if I am without one, you will hearing me whining and this is when the mister will affectionately call me “Napoleon.” Dr. Hauschka Lip Care Stick is moisturizing and keeps my dry cracked lips hydrated all day. I love it so much, I want to share it with you.
