Eco-Friendly Bamboo Scrubs

Monday, September 6th, 2010

Being in any medical profession, chances are that wearing scrubs is simply mandatory and part of your every day life.

Day in and day out, you contend with protecting yourself from potential biohazards.

But what if you could be wearing fashionable, comfortable and most of all, antibacterial fabric, not to mention also being totally “green” at the same time?

Introducing bamboo fabric based scrubs. This fabric is known for being antibacterial, hair deflecting, and most of all strong and protective, yet comfortable. Bamboo is absolutely bug resistant as well. But best of all, it was grown naturally and plentiful without pesticides.

So unless you have a panda bear as a patient, you will reap the benefits of bamboo and basically be wearing a protective shield a step above all those other materials.

Look great, perform more comfortably and gain a bit more peace of mind when it comes to those nasty little germs.

Amazing Tee’s, not just tees, but eco-friendly bamboo fabric scrubs too! Isn’t it time you got yours?


Scrubs can be personalized with your logo!

Bamboo Clothing is Cool in the Heat!

Monday, July 5th, 2010

The summer heat is really here! All the more reason to pull out all of my bamboo clothing. Bamboo fabric wicks and is cool. It also doesn’t have an odor like synthetic and cotton fabric. No rings of sweat under the arm pits! My favorite ladies tee in this heat is the tank, which is 20% off right now. In addition, the short sleeve tee’s are perfect, even the one in black.

Marian Keyes — Fun Books to Read

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Love her books! They are light, face paced, FUNNY, but also deal with deep issues. Just finished This Charming Man which deals with physical abuse and alcoholism. While reading the very graphic description of the addiction, also went to see Broken Hearts which graphically shows being in the grip of alcoholism. The good news is that both have uplifting endings. Morale — stay in tune with your surroundings, your family and friends and your inner self. It helps to be wearing bamboo!

Self-Exploration

Tranquility

Sometimes its a good idea to just take a step back, clear the mind and allow your thoughts to run free. No censoring, no editing — just true and authentic thoughts. What feels right to you? Where do you want to be? Who do you want to be around? When you are doing this, it is important to feel good in your skin. Only wear clothes in which you feel good, move with you, breathe and are good! Bamboo tees are perfect for this. What are your thoughts? Please contribute!

Jaguar Habitat Too Late?

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

The U.S. government has finally agreed to allow a protected habitat for the North American Jaguar. However, there are no known Jaguars in the U.S. right now — not sense Macho B was killed last year. In honor of this decision, take a look at the Amazing Jaguar bamboo t-shirt.

Secret to Smooth Youthful Skin

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

My friend Ava has shared her secret!! She has been doing the following for 25 years and man oh man does her skin look great!!

1. Begin with a freshly washed face and neck.

2. Combine 2 tablespoons of Sesame Seed or Olive Oil with 1 heaping teaspoon of Sea Salt. Note: if you have cuts or broken skin, substitute 1 to 2 teaspoons coarse cut oatmeal for salt. Using the corner of a clean wet washcloth, gently rub Oil Mixture over entire face and neck, using small gentle circles. Avoid eyes, eyelids, and delicate under-eye areas.

3. Wash face and neck thoroughly, removing all of the Oil mixture. Dampen a cotton ball with Penta Water and rinse face and neck.  Towel-dry or allow skin to dry naturally.

4. Fill a large pot with water. Bring to a boil and add 2-3 tablespoons of the natural herbal laxative Swiss Kriss for an incredibly cleansing facial steam. Do not use the tablets, they will not break down down well enough. (Swiss Kriss can be found in most drugstores and is inexpensive. Save even more by ordering it online.) Let herbs simmer for several minutes. Remove pot from heat and place on a stable surface. Place towel over head to keep steam from escaping. Take the facial steam for 5 to 15 minutes, depending on tolerance. Use caution as steamm can burn skin.

5. Use another clean cotton ball with Penta Water to rinse face and neck.

6. Break open a capsule of Vitamin A. Spread over face and neck, including the under eye area. Leave on overnight. (Cover pillows with towels to avoid staining.) Note: Alternating PURE aloe veral gel with Vitam A oil also works well.

7. In the morning, wash your face and resume your usual skin care routine.

Use this routine as described aove once a week at night before bed. After four consecutive weeks, look for resultts. After that, once a month for maintenance. For additional over-all skin care: Replace processed foods with natural ones. Always drink plenty of water. Use sunscreen. Exercise regularly.

Amazing Journeys — Weekend Trip to Cochise Stronghold, Sunglow Ranch and Chiracahua National Monument

Hiking the Chiracahua Mountains

Hiking the Chiracahua Mountains

Less than 2 hours southeast of Tucson is a geographically and historically fascinating area. The main points of interest are located on sky islands separated by a sea of flat plains. Driving along, you can almost “see” the Apache Chief Cochise (1870′s and 80′s) and his warriors galloping and whooping in full war paint. Rising up from the western edge are the Dragoon Mountains and rising up from the eastern edge of this plain are the Chiracahua Mountains. My husband Jim and I took off from Tucson, comfortable in our bamboo tees, and the first stop was Cochise Stronghold. Tucked up in the cliffs of the Dragoon Moutains, this is where Cochise’s Apache tribe successfully hid from the “enemy” soldiers and launched deadly raids on settlers and stage coach travellers. There is a nice campground there and several interesting day hikes.

We then drove to Sunglow Ranch via Sunsite, Pearce & Sunizona. By the way, the Pearce “ghost town” is just a few crumbling walls. Don’t go out of your way to see it! The Sunglow Ranch was a pleasant surprise. It is in a meadow snuggled up to the Chiracahua Mountains. The setting was beautiful and peaceful. When we pulled up to the circular driveway and stepped out of the car, we were greeted by a cacaphony of hundreds of red winged black birds that were flitting from branch to branch in the trees. Our room, the Acorn Room, was darling with a beautiful view. Dinner and breakfast were delicious in a beautiful dining room. We also took a 3 mile hike and (Birders take note!) saw Road Runners, Great Blue Heron, House Finches, Lesser Goldfinches, Mourning Doves, Harris Hawks, Mexcan Blue Jays, Acorn Woodpecker and many varieties of Hummingbirds. Sunglow is perfect for birders, hikers, nature lovers, yoga retreats — and is “green” to boot!

 

Note to wine enthusiasts — The Keeling Schaefer winery is located here. We were served glasses of the Shiraz and the Grenache at the Sunglow Cafe and they were both excellent!  Here’s to Arizona wine!

The next morning we drove to nearby Chiracahua National Monument. It was a spectacular drive with rock formations and incredible scenic views. We stopped at the highest point accessible by car, Massai Point, and oohed and aahed and photoed the incredible views. Then we drove over to Echo Canyon Trail and took the 3 plus mile hike. This is reportedly one of the top 10 hikes in Arizona and we certainly agreed with that rating! We traveled through rock formations, grottos and pine forests. What a weekend!

Best Drug Store Buys

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

I found a great new source of information on beauty products.  “Don’t Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me” by Paula Begoun (subscription web site is beautypedia). She lists the best value products that can be bought at the drug store.  For example, one of the best inexpensive foundations with sunscreen for normal to dry skin is Revlon Colorstay makeup with SoftFlex for Normal to Dry skin SPF 15, approximately $13.  One of the best inexpensive concealers is Revlon Age Defying Concealer SPF 20, about $9.  And best inexpenisve blush: Maybelline New York Dream Mousse Blush, about $7.50.  She also recommends Maybelline’s new Colossal mascara and Olay Regenerist.  The expensive thing she can’t live without?  Allergan’s Latisse eyelash grower that just came out.  You can buy all of these products with no shipping and possible discounts at:

Euthanization of Jaguar

Amazing Jaguar Bamboo T-Shirt

Amazing Jaguar Bamboo T-Shirt

I am so sad — the beautiful jaguar that was accidentally captured in southern Arizona and then released with a tracking collar two weeks ago, has been euthanized. Apparently, he developed severe kidney failure. The tracking collar revealed decreasing physical activity, so the Fish and Game department recaptured him and took him to the Phoenix Zoo for euthanization. The tragedy is that it may have been the stress from the initial capture that triggered the kidney failure. Just yesterday we had decided to donate 10% of the sale of the Amazing Jaguar bamboo t-shirt to the Phoenix Zoo. Click on the shirt for more details.
