Holiday Hemp
I received an early holiday present this year – our Hemp Lip Balms were part of a GreenDAY segment for the TODAYShow.com !! Journalist Marisa Belger (a self proclaimed natural-beauty addict - talks about all the benefits of hemp goods and recommends her favorites – and our Lemongrass & Tea Tree Hemp Lip Balm is her favorite – yeah! Read the full article here.
Because of the feature and the on-line link from the MSNBC site, we have been selling EVERYTHING HEMP! This morning we sold out of our Hemp Toiletries Bag and I’m running low on a lot of our Hemp Soaps. Once people understand the benefits of hemp and that you are not going to become “drugged out” by using it, they totally love it. For those still concerned about THC in hemp, no worries.
I’ve used and eaten Hemp products for over 15 years and passed every FAA required medical test with flying colors. If you want to learn more about how hemp is processed for food, textiles and oil check out one of my favorite info spots at TestPledge.com .
Need more green for St. Patrick’s?
Yes, I know that Botanical Earth is an environmentally friendly business and is considered “green”, but sometimes, you just want something colorfully green that’s fun to wear too. If so, and you like handcrafted, indie couture with a flair for green this week, then check Boutique Cafe’s site for their Show Some Green Contest. I’m not big on posting on forums, but I have to admit I have been a lurker there for a while. I think I might post either our Green Fruits & Clay soap or Rosemary Hemp soap just for fun when I am done with this.
You’ll find a lot of fun and creative ideas along with fashions for kids and moms – it’s mom, kids and indie designer focused. I don’t have children, but I do have friends with little ones, and Boutique Cafe has given me some great sources for gifts throughout the year. There’s a blog and an active forum to browse along with podcasts. I love finding new designer things for my friend’s children instead of all those mass market baby/kid gifts at the malls – you’ll find lots of fun things at Boutique Cafe if I say so myself…..now back to the business of soap making.
