I think it's fantastic. I've planned a bigger than usual garden this year so I'll have plenty to can/freeze/dry for the winter. I also think the experiential gifts are wonderful. I wish I could get some family members to realize those are acceptable gifts ~ although they are getting better we do get memberships to the zoo and the botanical garden for Christmas each year ~ unfortunately it's in addition to way to many other things. Oh well, one step at a time. :) Thanks for the great ideas. .-= Jackie Lee's last blog: <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EverydayLifeAndBalance/~3/BsR80Xyn8pA/5-easy-tips-for-more-sustainable-living.html" rel="nofollow">5 Easy Tips for More Sustainable Living</a> =-.

I love it!!!! I have always had dry skin & it's awful in the winter. My skin was the best it's been this winter - not to mention the mixture is inexpensive & lasts a long time. I can't wait to see what other suggestions come from this blog:)! Just wanted to add that I *hesitantly* tried the oil cleansing method after I ran out of my “natural”, expensive facial cleanser.

I wish I could convince my in-laws that we (the kids) really, really, don't need new trinkets and *stuff* to clutter up our house just because it's a holiday like Valentine's Day or Easter... When I read about the feminine products, I thought how fortunate I feel that I haven't had to purchase/use/dispose of any of those in almost 30 months. Extended breastfeeding to keep yourself in amenorrhea (post-partum infertility) is an excellent "green" choice too. :) Katie .-= Katie @ Kitchen Stewardship's last blog: <a href="http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/2010/02/17/mary-and-martha-moment-celebrating-lent-with-children/" rel="nofollow">Mary and Martha Moment: Celebrating Lent with Children</a> =-.

Hmmm, that's a challenge - it'd be hard not to eat the foods you grew up with! I personally think that there is very little chance I will ever eat ALL of my food from a local source - that's very extreme, although very admirable. But as long as I'm eating some of my food locally - whatever is available to me- then I'm not going to sweat it if my daughter wants some mangoes, you know? So, enjoy those pineapples sometimes! :) Hi Vina! Hmmm, that’s a challenge – it’d be hard not to eat the foods you grew up with!

Buying used is awesome, isn't it? Don't forget that you can save some money by making some of your own personal products - we'll have posts coming up in the future with how-to's, etc. Kathryn, thanks for sharing!
