Where does our Shea Butter come from? We can show you! We at Earth to Body are fortunate enough to have friends of the family who work with the Fédération NUNUNA. Our friends have personally met these hard working women of Burkina Faso, where this miraculous gift comes from. We asked them to take some photos and write a description of this organically grown and fair trade product. We hope this allows you to feel a closer connection to the Shea Butter we use and to the hard-working women who yield it. “Our shea butter is imported from the Fédération NUNUNA, a Union shea butter producer groups…

Question the koala about eucalyptus. Watch her grin.  “Hey mate, I sleep in the tree all day long, curled up in my branch nook.  I hang out for a few hours at night, feasting on the leaves. I am all about Eucalyptus." Ask the koala if the leaves make her feel good and she will assure you that she is not ‘high’ as many believe her to be.  "Yes, a little sleepy maybe."  The leaves contain cineole*, toxic to some animals, but not the koala. Koala means ‘no water’.  They thirst quench from the leaves themselves making it a rather interesting and unique relationship. Another question might be, “…

So warm.  Yet cool.Calming and sensual.The candle wax and you.A romantic tryst between skin and softness. Soy nourishes the skin, making it supple and soft and feeling oh so good. Light a candle.  Relax and watch as the melted pool of deliciously nutritious wax forms. Carefully dip into the pool of melted oil and massage onto the skin.  (You can blow out the candle or carefully dip beneath it. Soy wax is NOT hot. It will not burn you so no worries as you dip.)  Choose from a variety of intoxicating natural scents, or no scent at all.  Our 'scents' are natural essential oils, never synthetics…

Halloween is one of kid’s favorite holidays. Transforming them selves. Leaving the house after dark.  Entering neighbor’s spooky yards. And of course, to Mom’s detriment… the sugar rush. But should we stop to consider if this is all safe? We talk about street safety, but there are other elements we need to consider while they morph into gooey goblins. The three biggest Halloween poisons are face paint, hair products and unfortunately… yes…candy. There are ways to enjoy the experience of Halloween WITHOUT risking our kid’s health. We wouldn’t think that children’s products would be laden with…

Song for Autumn In the deep falldon’t you imagine the leaves think howcomfortable it will be to touchthe earth instead of thenothingness of air and the endlessfreshets of wind? And don’t you thinkthe trees themselves, especially those with mossy,warm caves, begin to thinkof the birds that will come — six, a dozen — to sleepinside their bodies? And don’t you hearthe goldenrod whispering goodbye,the everlasting being crowned with the firsttuffets of snow? The pondvanishes, and the white field over whichthe fox runs so quickly brings outits blue shadows. And the wind pumps itsbellows. And at…

*/ Apparemment, la chaleur de l’été engendre la multiplication des mouches de fruits. Je suis certaine que nous ne sommes pas les seuls à souffrir de ces petites bestioles fatigantes. Un peu de biologie: une femelle peut pondre jusqu’à 500 œufs et préfère de le faire dans la peau de fruits et légumes très mûrs. Alors, rentrer ceux-ci dans le frigo aide beaucoup! Si les petites bêtes ne veulent toujours pas abandonner votre cuisine à cause d’un bac à compost ou des bouteilles de bière vides, voici des idées de piège à mouche de fruits utilisant du vinaigre de cidre de pomme ou même du lait…
