Rub-a-Dub-Dub

Last year, I remodeled the bathroom. For the first time in years, fixtures matched. The tile grout wasn't stained gray from mold (despite endless scrubbing). I stopped knocking my shoulder against the unwieldy cabinet someone thought to install on the back of the door. Even the accidental drill-through to the neighbor's apartment turned out: at last, I can borrow that sugar I've been needing.

The bathroom has taken shape as my own little spa, my own little sanctuary. A few candles, a few rubber duckies (when better company can't be found), and some bath salts set me right every time. My faves: Lush Ne Worry Pas bath bomb (leaves skin supersoft), Aveda Soothing Aqua Therapy (seriously relaxes muscles), and Baththerapy Natural Mineral Bath (which you can sometimes find in bulk at Whole Foods). If you can't make it to an eco-spa-create one of your own!

Sigh...that's kinda my point Rachel. If people actually invested the green claim, most products and wildlife aren't such friends, as the manufacturer, Treehugger or wherever would have you believe. :)

rachel did have a little Freudian slip there.... you said feindlier. and it is a bit fiendish to consume over and above what we truly NEED. while it is nice to have a green home, it is more important that we create change with our voices, and with our affiliations with groups that create lasting impact as opposed to getting some new grout. green is a way of life, not a product on a shelf. rethink how your purchases affect the planet. think of it in a butterfly affect or ripple affect mentality. what we do here, greatly exacerbates the problems over there. we can all be a part of the revolution, we just need to be more conscious and find our own way to be radical. this generation can learn from the ones before us.
