March comes in like a lion.! ~

Snow Storm in the City
March is coming in like a lion ..
as the saying goes.
The snow is just beautiful ..
but then again, I am one of the lucky ones
that does not have to commute to work.

Thought I would share this site, sent to me by Greg Lynch,
a SunRose Customer, who wrote an article on 'Solar Cooking'.

Solar Cooking is, I believe, a step into the future of food preparation that is available today. Make sure you don't miss your opportunity to taste the future of food right now.
Happy cooking!

A review on our Ageless Elixir:

I just wanted to say a word or two or three about SunRose Ageless Elixir Formula. I am a 56 year old woman and a natural red head. Needless to say I have very sensitive skin and it's close to impossible to find a facemoisturizer that doesn't have some kind of acid in it.

I'm convinced that it's the acid in all the moisturizers now-a-days is part and parcel of the increase in melanoma but that's another story.

I love Ageless Elixir, it doesn't sting, and it absorbs immediately.
I am continually complimented on my skin tone and color so
thought I'd pass on the night-time routine that works for me.

When I take a shower I wait till my skin is soft from the steam
and then I exfoliate with SunRose Apricot Kernel Meal.

When I get out of the shower I then spritz with SunRose Frankincense Hydrosol.

Once that's dry I put on my SunRose Ageless Elixir Facial Formula.
The next morning when I wake up TA-DA I'm gorgeous.

Thank you Rosanne for making such great products!!!!!!!!!!

Many thanks ! 10 Years Later.. !!!

This is a time of thanks .. to all those that have supported me and my vision of SunRose. Here I am .. 10 yrs later ... it is just amazing to me. Many thanks to all my customers, family and friends that have been with me thru these years .. and continue to believe in SunRose and the beautiful aromatic materials we offer.

Saying that ... thru the years I have developed friendships with my suppliers/ distillers from around the world. I am ever aware of the strife in many of the countries essential oils are obtained from.

Most recently, the atrocities going on in Mumbai .. and the terrorists attacks there last week. This was equivalent to the 9/11 terrorists attack here in NYC .. I had the honor of meeting Ramakant, our grower/distiller from India, a few years back. My dear friend Sandrine VanSlee had brought him up to the Bronx to meet me .. he is such a kind, gentle man .. his love and knowledge of essential oils is just amazing.

Then to read about the attacks there .. makes me so very thankful that I live here in the USA. We sometimes forget that we still do have so many freedoms, and as a female ..

the opportunities that I have .. however, would NOT have in many other countries.

The Internet has made it is easy for us to get to know the people of far off countries, learning about their customs and way of life. This has been one of the major blessings that I am so thankful for.

When I read this article .. I thought it so apropos ... sometimes we forget .. we are a community, those of this modern generation have become so insular .. emails, texting, etc .. to read more:

Keep Friendship Alive - People need people. And often they don’t realize how great their need is until some moment of great joy or deep sorrow. At some point in your life you’ve probably experienced this yourself—wanting to share some great news with a friend or, perhaps during hard times, needing care and support from others ...

The Winter Solstice,

also known as Midwinter,

is around the corner ..

Some quotes for the winter season ~

' In ancient times, both Druids and Romans

hung sprigs of mistletoe in their homes

and places of celebration to bring

good fortune, peace and love.

' Winter is on my head,

but eternal spring is in my heart.

--- Victor Hugo

Blow, blow, thou winter wind

Thou art not so unkind,

As man's ingratitude.

--- William (Bill) Shakespeare

'Lighting one candle

from another -

Winter night.'

--- Buson

One of New York's Bravest

I just had to blog about my cousin, Dean Tartaro, a New York City Firefighter. The head line reads:

Bravest save 5 in daring rescue from Coney Island cruise nightmare.

To read this article please visit: New York Daily News page

It is still a humid hot day here in the Bronx. My garden is so lush and blooming.Today a baby Blue Jay fell out of his nest and the parents were very loud and boisterous about it. I gently picked up the baby and placed him on a fountain that is not in use here. He seemed ok .. just frightened.

The parent Blue Jays were letting me know that they were not leaving their little one, so I quietly went in the house, waited around 20 minutes, went back out to check and the baby Blue Jay was gone.

I'm hoping the parents took him back to the nest. One never knows with nature. So I will hope for the best.!!

Be sure to care for your skin, especially when in the sun. Moisturize and remember to use sunblock, drink lots of liquids and hydrate your skin when ever possible.

My favorite to use is the Geranium Hydrosol or Rose Hydrosol, to read about hydrosols, please visit our page: SunRose Hydrosol Page.

Also, for sunburns, rashes and moisturizing your face our cooling Aloe Vera & Seaweed Gel is just wonderful for your skin. For more information please visit: SunRose Aloe Vera & Seaweed Gel.

The lazy days of summer are upon us .. or 'summer hours' .. it is so important to remember to take some time for yourself and rest.

until next time,
Rosanne
