Well, this year is just moving along for me .. Spring is always a sign of 'rebirth' and 'new beginnings'. My Mom would always say how beautiful it was to watch Mother Nature wake up from her sleep and the beautiful 'new green' color on trees.
My garden here in the Bronx is slowly waking up,the day lilies are about 2 inches tall already, as are my irises. The grass is even starting to act up.! This year I am planning to put some blueberries & raspberries in, and some 'bee boxes'.
Part of my thing is 'recycling'. Friends bring me their peanuts and bubble wrap that I use here at SunRose. However, there is an area that some folks do not know what to do with :
their old / broken electronics i.e. cell phones, old laptops, etc.
This is an informative article:
Engineering a Tough Switch: Getting New Yorkers to Recycle Electronics - New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/10/nyregion/10recycle.html?ex=1362801600&en=1e83a25ec0dd81d1&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss
Some upcoming events that may be in your area:

Attending these shows are a great way to keep in touch with the 'new wave' of products and just to meet folks in the industry.
My niece, Christie Marie Tartaro, who is also my 'house mate' at the 1120 Club here in the Bronx... is doing the Revlon Run/Walk for Women. Some of us are survivors and some, though fought the good fight, have moved on to the next plane.
Revlon Run/Walk For Women - New York https://www.revlonrunwalk.com/ny/secure/MyWebPage.cfm?pID=416752
On Saturday, May 3rd I will be participating in the 11th annual Revlon Run/Walk for Women in NYC. This 5k race will help raise money for women's cancer research (breast and ovarian cancers).
While I've been hitting the gym 5-6 days a week, I'm planning on walking the 5k with my Mom and my friend Peggy.
I have set a personal fundraising goal of $500 for this great cause. I am hoping that you will be able to help me achieve my goal! Remember, no donation is too small!
If you would like to make a donation, please visit click on the link below to visit my personal fundraising page. Revlon Run/Walk For Women - New York https://www.revlonrunwalk.com/ny/secure/MyWebPage.cfm?pID=416752
Thank you in advance for your support!

until next time ~Rosanne

HBA Spring Conference & Skin Care Products
Its a frigid day here in the big apple. Yeppers, its still winter and Mother Nature is giving us her Arctic blast for sure. Though the sun is shining bright, the skies are blue not a cloud anywhere.!
The crazy up and down weather .. balmy one day .. frigid the next. My bulbs are already 2 inches high and I really was hoping Spring was around the corner. Well, it is but .. just not yet.
Thought I would share some interesting articles:
* Find Safer Soap, Shampoo, Makeup and More:
Did you know that cosmetics and personal care products aren't tested by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration before they go on the market? In fact, manufacturers are responsible for testing their own products for safety. Unfortunately this mean sun safe ingredients may be lurking in your favorite soap, shampoo or makeup. http://www.ewg.org/node/26032.
* What NOT to buy:
Major gaps in public health laws allow cosmetics companies to use almost any ingredient they choose in everything from sunscreen and mascara to deodorant and baby shampoo, with no restrictions and no requirement for safety testing. To help you navigate your store's aisles, Environmental Working Group researchers have scoured thousands of ingredient labels to bring you our top recommendations for what not to buy — products with worrisome or downright dangerous ingredients that don't belong in your shopping cart or on your skin.

For those interested:
The HBA Spring Conference
Javits Center in Manhattan
March 4 -5, 2008
HBA University SM presents its premier educational symposium, which covers two powerful aspects of the industry: “Achieving Well-Being: The New Paradigm,” and “International Prestige Package & Design”. The dual program, on March 4-5, 2008, will cover high-interest topics that address the growing consumer demand for healthy inner and outer beauty as well as brand marketers’ quest for “Beauty-in-the-Bottle”. http://www.hbaexpo.com/spring-conference.htm
All this brings me to what we do here at SunRose .. the pure and natural way of caring for your skin.
Each season brings different needs, but oh what fun to be able to create your own nurturing and nourishing products for your skin.
Carrier oils are the best way to keep your skin supple, especially the 'dry flaky winter skin' that makes us itch. The low temps, low humidity and strong harsh winter winds will deplete the skin of its natural lipid layers which keeps the skin from drying out.
After bath when our skin is still damp is the best time to, as I call it, ' oil up'. If you have not ever tried using Carrier oils, i.e.: Apricot Kernel, Sweet Almond, Jojoba (great for hair as well), Rosehip Seed the highest source of Vitamin C, Evening Primrose, etc,
then you should visit our Carrier Oil page: http://sunrosearomatics.com/catalog/carrieroils.asp
Or, try our blended Carrier Oil Professional Formulas: http://sunrosearomatics.com/catalog/shop/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=37&cat=Professional+Formulas
Before we know it .. Spring will be here with the 'new green' on the trees and flowers popping up.
Stay cozy and warm,
til next time

The Week that was:: Luna Eclipse & Winter Snow
This has been a week for sure. From a full moon with a sensational Luna eclpise ending with a wonderful snow storm. Really the first real snow of the season here in the Bronx.
I know many of us have been feeling the 'itch' for Spring and digging in the dirt. My friends over at the Essenital Herbal Magazine list are starting to ponder what we will be designing and growing in our gardens this year. Everything from herbs to 'moon gardens'.
With Spring around the corner those of us missing our beautiful flowers, a visit to The New York Botanical Gardens, located right here in the Bronx, is having the annual :
The New York Botanical Gardens presents:
The Orchid Show - http://www.nybg.org/tos/
Mesmerizing and seductive, The Orchid Show presents the spectacular forms and breathtaking colors of the world's most coveted plant. Escape the winter blues by immersing yourself in the beauty and fragrance of thousands of orchids dramatically displayed in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory.
If you like to find 'upbeat' sites or magazines I would love to share with you 'Ode Magazine'.
Ode is a print and online publication about positive news, about the people and ideas that are changing our world for the better.
http://www.odemagazine.com/.
And so, for a happy, put a 'smile on your face' link .. for all those 'tree huggers' out there .. (including myself) .. I really think this artist/photographer captures it all .. take a moment to view this YouTube:: The Tree Spirit Project.
by Jack Gescheidt. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=SBRhdt2qOVc

Winter Doldrums / Valentine's Day Love
With Mercury Retro and the 'Winter Blues', many of my friends are feeling that midwinter 'funk' .. its been an amazing few days.
A dear friend Nancy Ogren a wonderful astrologer wrote:
'Pluto in Capricorn reminds us that we always have a choice and that when we abdicate our responsibilities, we give away our power.'
Just what I needed to hear to make myself 'snap out of it' .. as she so wisely pointed out, its time to ' start stepping up and speaking up.!
Being proactive .. I would like to post a link to a free issue of an online magazine called the Essential Herbal.
This is the link: http://www.essentialherbal.com/March%20April%202007.pdf
Tina Sams is the creator of this magazine, which I think you will find informative and fun.
Valentine's Day is approaching and there is nothing better then receiving a 'special little something' .. showing that person how special they are to you.
In case you didn't notice, we are offering 5% Valentine's Day discount off all orders over $75.00 for our retail customers, regardless of any other discounts. (this does not include shipping).
Visit: http://www.sunrosearomatics.com/
for ideas on that 'little something special'.!
A wonderful massage blend, a little aroma jewelry,
some wonderful handmade aromatic soap.
Or.. Pamper yourself to a 'little something' to chase those 'Winter Blues' away.!

Say it's not so - FDA to Back Food /Cloned Animals
Can you tell that I am so not happy with this ..!!!
Please read this article from the Washington Post.com regarding the FDA to back Food from cloned animals.
"The decision would be a notable act of defiance against Congress, which last month passed appropriations legislation recommending that any such approval be delayed pending further studies"
Am I the only one reacting to this decision ..?? And will these foods be 'labeled' appropriately for the consumer to be made aware that this is what they are ingesting. ??
Is this our future.! ?
