QUOTE FOR THE DAY / WEIGHT

"Weight is only a state of mind.

To me,

anyone under 150 pounds

is just bones

with a slip-cover on."

---Shelley Winters

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF COLOR - part five

Green represents life, nature, a feeling of calmness, friendliness and freshness.

It is sensuous and alive; it is dependable, steady, soothing and healing.

It represents newness and re-generation.

It is the most pervasive colour in nature and symbolizes Mother Nature,

the green movement, and ecology.

Deep greens signify money, prestige and power.

Green is a healer.

Suicides dropped 34% when bridges were painted green (Lion's Gate Bridge in Vancouver.)

Green gives structure and boundaries to the environment and is a colour of replenishment.

It is a good colour for rooms that you wish to create a mystique of relaxation

as it gives one space and time to re-balance.

It is frequently chosen because of its versatility and limitless variations.

Greens go well together and green laced with white can be the crispest,

springiest look of all.

The Darkest Hour

QUOTE FOR THE DAY / HUMANS

HUMANS were made to

run on LOVE,

and they do not

function well on

anything else.

Big News!!!!
Well....we got a great thing in the mail today! It was the October 2009 edition of the Ladies' Home Journal! Now you might be wondering why this is a great thing....well...it is because one of our products was featured (pg 152) with, of course, the link to our store!!!! Check it out!




We cropped the picture because above it is a recipe and I just wasn't sure about copyright etc so I played it safe. This is so exciting! We were contacted months ago about our sponges and we emailed back and forth and I sent in 2 for them to see and then we didn't hear anything so I just thought it wasn't going to happen especially since we are located in Japan but I was wrong! I don't think I have ever been so happy to be wrong about something!



CONGRATULATIONS HONEY

QUOTE FOR THE DAY / LOVE

A dog is the only thing
