End of Summer / Back to School / Sept Give A Way

Another Summer is over, vacations are done and the kids are back to school.
The weather has just been magnificent here .. blue skies, soft cool breezes,
just the typical September weather. I so look forward to the leaves changing colors.

This is a very important article to read. Monsanto is destroying the future food for this country. We need to let our voices be heard. Be an informed consumer click on the following to read this article:

Tell Obama's Antitrust Czar: Investigate Monsanto
Massive seed corporation Monsanto -- through acquisitions and cut-throat business practices -- has cornered 90% of the soy, 65% of the corn, and 70% of the cotton market, and has a rapidly growing presence in the fruit and vegetable market, all without government anti-trust officials raising an eyebrow.

Eco-friendly wine cellars fashioned from old barrels ~
Thought this was an interesting way to recycle. Did you know that nearly 200,000 wine barrels are retired each year in California? Although some end up as planters or firewood, many are destined for landfills.

Spring is Here.!!

For those of you who know me, you know how I have always spoken out against Monsanto and Frankinfoods .. This documentary is a MUST see. Though it is lengthy, I still think it is worth the time spent to watch it.

The World According to Monsanto - A documentary that Americans won't ever see.

A shout out to some very amazing women.!
When I was looking for a company to refurbish my Chambers Stove, I found this amazing woman Carlita Belgrove. She did a phenomenal job! That stove has history for me .. I can still see my Grandma and Mom cooking on that stove , it has been with here for 52 yrs with me. Talk about memories! Waking up to the scent of gravy and meatballs on Sunday mornings!

Please Visit Carlita's website: The Stove Lady - http://www.stovelady.com/

Back when I was just exploring the world of essential oils, I met a wonderful teacher, Mynou Demey of Les Herbs. She is always looking for adventure and more than that, she is always helping people, I remember when she went to Russia to help them set up an essential oil class there.

Well, here she is again, in India this time, and now has a new website called
Gopooja. Though it is just in the beginning stages she has wonderful handmade products to look over.
Visit her new site: Gopooja.com - http://www.gopooja.com/

And my last mention is for Tina Sams over at the Essential Herbal. She has been publishing the Essential Herbal Magazine for over 7 years now. Her new book 'Under the Sun - the first five years' is 15 issues from 5 years and put together into a truly fabulous book. To read more about it .. please visit her page:

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

Well, I hope you are still here with me reading this .. new at SunRose, we have some wonderful new AromaJewelry that is not even up on the web site as yet.

These beautiful handcrafted Jade beads come in various colors and sizes.

Jade Bead Bracelet & Drop Necklace:




* Adjustable black cord to fit any size wrist.
* Add a drop or two of your favorite essential oil, blend, or signature scent.
* Enjoy the aroma throught the day!
* Replenish scet as needed.
* Packaged with a small pipette to add your essential oil or blend.

A sweet little gift to blanish the winter blues with the added benefit of adding your favorite essential oil to ease you throughout your day.

Thanks for stopping by,
until next time
