In summer time, the sun is hot
And sucks up moisture from below,
Then forms the clouds up in the sky
In lumps and bumps away to blow.
The wind comes up and sends the clouds
Around the earth, and then quite soon

“Water, water, every where, nor any drop to drink.”

You know how when you’re focused on something, like yellow volkswagens or crows or traffic jams, you seem to see them everywhere? Okay, well maybe there aren’t as many volkswagens around these days as there used to be. But you know what I mean. We see what we want to see.

Lyrics written by Lionel Bart and sung in Oliver, the musical.

And then we thought of the [...]
Hi natural shoppers:
When I first started using crystal deodorant stone instead of the regular deodorants I had been using, I thought I had just learned about a 21st Century invention.
I was amazed that this crystallized potassium alum (not to be confused in any way with aluminum chlorhydrate) could kill odour-producing bacteria on my skin so [...]
Hi insomniacs:
Here’s a brand new product from Dill Pickle Designs Inc. – the Forty Winks™.

They look very cushiony and warm, wrapping around your eyes and ears! Just the thing [...]
The two newest products in Savings, Naturally’s new products list are pink salts – a package of table salt weighing 250 grams and a package of coarse granulated cooking salt weighing 750 grams.
I guess salt is not what everyone thinks of as a natural supplement. Regular table salt is heavily processed – it’s sodium chloride [...]
Hi Foodies:
On Wednesday, May 14, 2008 (an historic day for me), I went to visit CSNN in Vancouver. CSNN stands for Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. Their tag line is “Teaching the medicine of the future.” I met with Judith Rimes, RHN (Registered Holistic Nutritionist), and she explained about the excellent two-day-per-week one-year diploma program [...]
