Soap_sierra_large_opt

I really love this soap. It doesn’t smell soapy at all — but like the forest. Woodsy and fresh and natural. I wish this were the way I smelled naturally, but I don’t, so I buy this soap.

6 bucks from Juniper Ridge

marvelous hemp lotion September 28, 2007

Lotion_clem2

A lovely lotion filled with nourishing botanical extracts — and hemp oil is amazing for the skin.

The pattern and script of the packaging remind me that hemp, besides its more notorious application, was also a building block of the west.

Hemp rope made the lassos an old-fashioned cowgirl swung, staked down the carnival tents, and suspended the make-shift chandelier in the bordello.

Hemp rope secured goods to traveling wagons, bound innocent maidens on the railroad tracks, and was cut-through by cowboys in white hats saving aforementioned girls.

This gorgeous lotion offers you the romantic, scandalous, american history of hemp — and soft skin to boot!

17 bucks from the bubble roome

This educational shower curtain will teach you about metamorphosis.

And speaking of clean, this curtain is PVC-free.
