How to Clean your Bathtub with a Grapefruit and Salt
1 Grapefruit
¼ cup kosher salt
Instructions
- Halve Grapefruit: 1 medium to large grapefruit will clean your entire bath or shower from top to bottom, including all the fixtures. Simply cut the grapefruit in half.
- Sprinkle with Salt: Using 1 grapefruit half at a time, sprinkle liberally with salt. Wet your bathtub and sprinkle the remaining salt around the bottom.
- Time to Scrub: Scrub your grapefruit around your shower or tub, making sure to slightly “juice” the citrus over each fixture and lifting it every few seconds to pick up fresh salt from around the tub instead of just pushing it around.
- Rinse: When all is said and done, simply rinse away the pulpy bits and salt and your shower is as good as new. Not only is it clean, but it also smells fantastic!
Additional Notes
This technique will get thick grime and dirt rings off your shower area and does amazing work on cast iron tubs especially. You can also use this method to clean your sinks, toilets, tile and more! Grapefruit is featured in our Egyptian Fennel with Grapefruit and Sweet Orange Lip Balm, Brazilian Brown Sugar with Cocoa Butter Body Polish, and Chilean Rosehip with Tamanu and Red Clover Hand Cream.

Synergy of Land and Sea
These super potent superfood ingredients deep-cleanse, detoxify, exfoliate, tone, hydrate, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, nourish, protect and balance. Want more? How about beautifully radiant skin. Treat yourself at least once a week. Great for all skin types.
FEATURE INGREDIENTS:
Organic Matcha Tea Powder: Matcha tea contains 10 to 15 times the overall nutrients of any other tea and many popular fruits and vegetables. These nutrients include an extraordinary amount of antioxidants, in particular polyphenols, which have demonstrated far greater antioxidant protection than vitamins C and E. The natural inclusion of caffeine offers potent anti-inflammatory benefits. These nutrients are proven to be highly beneficial when used topically as well as internally and will help to reverse oxidative damage to the skin, eliminate toxins, improve microcirculation, energize and brighten, nourish, enhance skin immunity, and lessen inflammation.
Organics Goji Extract: Because many of the nutrients in Goji berries have proven benefit to the skin when eaten, it is a perfect addition to our “superfood” antioxidant mask. For instance, research suggests that unique polysaccharides (a major constituent of Gojis) hold promise as anti-inflammatory and anti-aging components. The antioxidants in Goji berries can help reduce inflammation and sun damage which eventually cause wrinkles, age spots and sagging. Plus, these free radical fighters protect dermal fibroblasts (the cells that make connective tissue). The berry is also an “adaptogen.” It invigorates and strengthens the system while helping the body and skin to deal with stress. Goji is particularly beneficial for the following: blemished skin, depleted skin, dull and lifeless skin, mature skin, and sun damaged skin.
Wildcrafted Seaweed: Seaweed is wonderful for improving circulation and blood flow, making it an amazing detoxifier and oxygenator for the skin. This sea botanical imparts a full spectrum of bio-available vitamins, mineral salts, amino acids, proteins, lipids and trace elements that improve regeneration, nourish, hydrate, soften, and tone.

Green DIY Projects: Wreaths & Wrapping
- Small Grapevine Wreath (from Hobby Lobby or Michael's)
- Jute or Twine
- Floral Shears
- Gold Spray Paint (optional)
- Seeded Eucalyptus
- Blue Thistle
- Olive Branch
Instructions:
- Spray paint the seeded eucalyptus gold (optional).
- Cut the olive branch into pieces 2-3 inches in length and insert them snugly into the grapevine. The grapevine will hold the branches in place. Do this in a clockwise direction around the wreath until it has been nicely covered with olive branch.
- Start applying the thistle the same way you did the olive branch. Cut the stems at different lengths to create depth in your wreath. Avoid the area you want to make the focal point.
- Create your focal point by adding clusters of gold eucalyptus. Let your creativity shine through during this step, and don’t be afraid to let the eucalyptus hang wildly off the wreath!
- Wrap the jute around the wreath in the center of the eucalyptus to create a “band”. Tie the ends together in a knot at the back of the wreath.
- Hang your wreath and enjoy it through the holidays! To keep the wreath (and all holiday greens) looking fresh, spray it down with water once a day using a spray bottle.
Gift Wrap Made From Nature
Both easy on the budget and on the environment, this DIY project is the perfect solution for those of us looking to do something unique with our gifts. It's as simple as walking into your backyard and finding inspiration! Aren't these so gorgeous? It is 100% compostable gift wrap using all flowers and leaves from your garden.

Pumpkin Cinnamon Sticky Buns Vegan Recipe
Fluffy pumpkin filled rolls coated in gooey sticky brown sugar goodness. Decadent and delicious, these pecan studded sticky buns are perfect on a cold morning along with a hot cup of coffee. These would make a great addition to your holiday brunch table.
Dough
- 1 3/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup full fat coconut milk, room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup non-dairy margarine, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 4 to 4-1/2 cups bread or unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Filling
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 cup pecans, chopped
Pecan Topping
- 3/4 cup non-dairy margarine
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1/3 cup full fat coconut milk
- 1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- In large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the yeast with the coconut milk; let stand until frothy, about 10 minutes. Mix in the pumpkin purée, margarine, sugar and vanilla. Add 4 cups of the flour, cinnamon, salt, ginger, nutmeg and allspice. Using a wooden spoon or dough hook, gradually mix the flour into the yeast mixture to form a soft dough. Turn out onto floured surface or using the mixer; knead until smooth, adding as much of the remaining flour as necessary to prevent sticking, about 5 minutes. The dough should be soft and slightly tacky. Place in a lightly oiled bowl; turn the dough to coat all over. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp tea towel and let rise in warm draft-free place until doubled in bulk, 2 hours. If your house is cool, place in the oven with the oven light on.
- To make the filling, in a small bowl, stir together the pumpkin purée, sugars, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice; set aside.
- In saucepan, melt together the remaining butter and brown sugar. Add the coconut milk; simmer, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour into a 13- x 9-inch baking dish; sprinkle with 1 cup of pecans. Set aside to let cool slightly.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 16- x 12-inch (40 x 30 cm) rectangle. Spread with pumpkin filling and sprinkle with 1/4 cup pecans. Starting at the long edge, tightly roll up; sealing when you get to the end, cut into 12 even pieces. Arrange, cut side down, over the pecan topping in dish. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled in bulk, about 1 to 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Once risen, bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until golden and tops sound almost hollow when tapped. Let cool in pan on a cooling rack for 5 minutes, then invert onto a platter; scraping any remaining topping in dish over buns.

If you're like me, you have many sweaters to snuggle up into. If you want to bring new life to an old #sweater, consider upcycling it into a warm pair of #mittens. This #tutorial is specifically about mitten-making, but you could go crazy & make matching beanies, socks, & #scarves too! http://www.imakenews.com/pangeaorganics/e_article003044940.cfm?x=bnMG8tv,by3KbQbD,w
