Summer Inspiration

This years lavender crop is looking absolutely beautiful...thick, lush, vibrant green with a multitude of spikes ascending towards the sun.

Get ready to find fresh picked lavender at your local farmers market beginning now for the next few months as the weather gets increasingly warm. Fantastic to decorate with, gift, use in drinks, ice cream, as a garnish to fruit, cheese or any platter, and sure to add a smile to anyone who comes in contact with its clean, minty, refreshing scent and beautiful purple flower! What are you waiting for...go and get some!!!

Inspired by Earth Day

Happy 40th planet Earth! Thinking green here is some Earth Day inspiration I found on 'Your Daily Thread':

“The average American meal travels about 1500 miles to get from farm to plate” (CUESA). For a typical carrot it’s more like 1800 (Sustainable Table). I don’t feel good traveling that kind of distance and neither does our produce, not to mention the greenhouse gas emissions involved in the journey.

According to Steven L. Hopp in his wife Barbara Kingsolver’s book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, if every U.S. citizen ate one meal a week composed of locally, organically raised food, we would reduce American oil use by a million barrels every week.

And it’s not just transportation: “As much as forty percent of the energy used in the food system goes towards the production of chemical fertilizers and pesticides” (Sustainable Table).

By supporting sustainable agriculture you say a big yes to healthy water and soil, biodiversity, pesticide-free food and the important work of small farmers.

Think globally...buy locally! that goes for your lavender needs too!!

Spring has Sprung at Hacienda Almanecer

Pictures speak a thousand words. The 2010 crop of lavender is in good company here.

And....just when you think you don't have a song to sing...sing anyways! Life is good! Lavender Bliss Mist..."a bottle of pure liquid sunshine"!

Sleep Inspiration...

It's true, years of research prove that lavender produces calming, soothing, and sedative effects. "In folklore, linen bags were filled with lavender flowers and placed under the pillow to help people fall asleep. Today, this anecdotal remedy for sleepless nights has been validated by clinical studies proving the benefits of lavender in aiding a sound and restful night's sleep." Mist your face, pajamas, pillow and bed linens and feel the soothing effects of lavender!!

Kids + Lavender

I use Lavender Bliss Mist &/or pure lavender oil with my kids for: cuts, scrapes, burns, relaxation, hair brushing, hand cleaning in a bind, before bed--on their pillows and in the air, when they are sick, and to calm them any time of the day!! Go ahead squirt them, they'll love it and so will you!
