Artificial Christmas Trees and Your Families Health There are some health issues which many might not be aware of with these!

Many people get artificial Christmas trees because they have allergies, or otherwise find that real trees are not acceptable in their households, but artificial trees can pose some health risks that go beyond just allergies that many of us may not be aware of.

Holistic Valentines Day Gift Ideas

When searching for valentines day gift ideas, we should try the holistic approach.The term “holistic” (or “wholistic”) refers to the integrated interaction between the functioning parts of a whole. Valentine’s Day is a wonderful time to embrace this concept – heart, mind, and body. Here are some ideas for a holistic Valentine’s Day.

Holistic Valentines Day Gift Ideas

1. Go to a holistic spa for a treatment, or buy such a treatment for your significant other. You could also go to a holistic spa together. At a holistic spa, you will receive a massage of some sort – some spas offer Swedish massages or other specialties. Some spas offer beauty treatments and other pampering, romantic treatments.

2. Organic chocolate is holistic and appropriate for this romantic holiday. Consider raw chocolate “nibs” or prepared organic chocolates.

3. Prepare a romantic meal for two with local, organic food. A holistic philosophy embraces humanity’s connection to nature, and organic food, with its respect for natural methods and the environment, supports that idea. Continue Reading Holistic Valentines Day Gift Ideas Here

How to Have a Eco-Friendly Waste-Free Halloween

Holidays sure can get wasteful and this one often involves many decorations that are thrown out, like straw bales and pumpkins. And think of all those plastic masks and candy wrappers! But it doesn’t have to be that way. Here are some tips on how to have a greener Halloween.

1. Save the seeds of the pumpkin you use for your jack-o-lantern. When you scoop out the pumpkin flesh to make the lantern, save the seeds. They are full of nutrients and have many health benefits. Do not wash them, but separate them from the stringy pulp with your fingers and spread them out on newspaper to dry. Then you can roast and salt them, or eat them raw.

2. Eat the pumpkin’s flesh. The canned pumpkin so popular for pies was once pumpkin flesh. You can make pies, soups, stews, casseroles, breads, and other dishes using pumpkin flesh. Continue Reading How to Have a Eco-Friendly Waste-Free Halloween Here

As we enter the holiday season, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving 2010. We’ve come along ways since that first thanksgiving in 1621, when the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag Indians shared their harvests with a feast. We have many new technologies to celebrate, like the internet, mobile phones, and modern transportation, modern housing, we also have many new problems associated with those technologies. Life is not so simple anymore in 2010 by any means, even speaking just 20 years ago. Imagine how simple life must have been some 400 years ago, without any of our modern conveniences.
