- Willi talks about how to keep weeds at bay - hire goats!
- Another great LA Times Gardening Article - a No Dig Garden.
- Beautiful watercolour on how to make Sun Tea.
- Renegade Health Show.
- Felicia asks, “Is Google Making Us Stupid” - I read the article she refers to and agree on all levels. I also fear the internet doesn’t actually connect us more but isolates us.

I wouldn’t give up some of my unnatural products (Philosophy’s Real Purity, Jan Marini’s Transformation Serum, La Mer, Skinceuticals CE Ferulic) either but I do try to go natural when it works (Korres Rose Mask, Bare Escentuals Lip Gloss, Everyday Minerals, Dr. Haushka Cleansing Cream).
- 100 Year Old Photoblog.

I truly believe in a simple lifestyle, in only owning the things you love or are useful. And while I'm totally content with what I have, there are things I come across and can't help but want, too. The trick is always to balance, isn't it?
I totally agree that the internet gives us a false sense of community. While I appreciate connecting with people online, I always try to call, drop a note in the mail, or go on a walk with my friends. Nothing beats seeing their smile in person.
