{Organic Wednesday} Green Field Paper Company

So once I run out of my thank you cards I plan to purchase these beautiful cards. 

As you know I love flowers and sharing my love to others would be perfect. 

It is so neat to be able to put this card into some soil, give it water and sun, then watch it grow!

{Organic Wednesday} Scentsations by Julie

I recently went to a Women In Business Expo and happened across a women who makes the most AMAZING bath products. I'm a huge fan of Nourish who was a previous post but sometimes you like a little change. Scentsations by Julie is for those who are looking for that European French inspired fragrance that is a little more sophisticated. I'm such a sucker for bath products and CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY!

Here is a little bit about Julie: "Long before I was certified in Aromatherapy I had discovered the wonderful benefits of pure essential oils. For years, as a hobby, I would mix oils and enjoy them in the bath to help relax and quiet my thoughts. I soon wanted to share the magic with my friends and family. From there, the Scentsations by Julie story began. Each blend/scent has its own special story inspired by those who have encouraged me along the way. The blends/scents have been named after those special friends". She creates spa quality handmade aromatherapy products and gifts using 100% pure essential oils and other natural ingredients. Lotions, Salt/Scrubs, Soaps and Massage Oils. The fun part is to choose which blend is your favorite: (my favorite is the Signature!) What is a "Blend"? A blend is a careful formulation of two or more essential oils designed for a specific therapeutic purpose. 

• Signature is a calming, balancing and sensual blend. Excellent for insomnia, gaining clarity and lowering stress levels. Superb for maturing and dry skin. Ylang Ylang, Patchouli, Clary Sage
  
• Hope is a romantic, balancing and uplifting blend that ignites creativity, spurs confidence and instills a sense of value. Jasmine, Rose, Bergamot
  
• Jay is a calming and centering blend. Excellent for meditation and prayer. Soothes dry skin conditions and promotes well-being.Sandalwood, Patchouli, Orange
  
• McKenzie invigorates, purifies, revitalizes and soothes. Brings alertness and clarity. Aids stomach problems, headaches, respiratory ailments, sore muscles and joints. Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Orange
  
• Moosey is a cleansing, grounding and uplifting blend. Helps improve the immune and digestive systems. Very relaxing an euphoric at the same time. Tangerine, Orange, Clary Sage, Patchouli, Rosewood
  
• Sarah is a healing, soothing and peaceful blend. Helps in restoring skin damaged by burns, blisters and even stretch marks. Our mildest blend suitable for babies. Lavender, Chamomile and Mandarin

{Organic Wednesday} Green Spas

Being in Savannah is such a great location because you can drive to Atlanta, Charleston, or Jacksonville if you have a few hours for a long journey, but Hilton Head Island (HHI), South Carolina is just 45 min. and about 30 miles north. They have a wonderful beach (that allows dogs on it), huge outlet shopping and plenty of golf. Since my friend lives in Bluffton (just before HHI) I go there ALL THE TIME! So when I found out that there are not 1 but TWO Eco-friendly spas there I had to go visit them, AND YOU SHOULD TOO! Both owners and companies are wonderful, sweet, professional, welcoming, hmmmm all other synonyms for amazing too!!

Why should you go to their spas?

• Give someone a gift for their birthday, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Anniversary, teacher appreciation, or Wedding Planner appreciation ; )
• Plan a girls night out
• Get a couples massage
• Book your bridal party there with your best girlfriends
• Get ready for your wedding with all the woman before your HHI wedding
• You need to relax and de-stress
• Make it a day trip-go to the beach, eat some good food, play golf, there are many things to do in Hilton Head to make a day out of it!
• SUPPORT ORGANIC ECO-FRIENDLY BUSINESSES

If you are looking for a quiet escape and to receive TOP LEVEL massage therapies, facials and body treatments, then book your next appointment at Ahh Green Spa. They use organic fair trade, and vegan products so you know your body will be covered with only the best products!

How are they green? SOOOOOOOO many ways!!

• They painted with Zero-VOC Natura paint from Benjamin Moore
• The trim around the doors is FSC certified lumber, stained & sealed with low-VOC wood stain and sealant. 
• They installed a hybrid hot water heater that is 62% more energy efficient than a regular electric hot water heater.   
• They installed an Energy Star washer & dryer. Instead of shipping their laundry out to a service that will use harsh chemicals, they do the laundry in-house. This allows them to cut down on transportation of linens, as well as having control over what is used to wash them. They use USDA Organic laundry detergent and set the washer on the sanitizer setting. They also don’t use fabric softener or chemical-based dryer sheets. 
• All of the sink faucets and toilets are WaterSense certified 
• The wooden tables and some of the chairs in each of the treatment rooms were found at local consignment stores.  
• The artwork they have displayed is from local artists.  
• They use organic massage lotion. 

They opened less than a year ago and have already received so many great reviews and were voted #3 things to do in Hilton Head. Read some of their reviews here: tripadvisor.com reviews
