ECO Life Deals II

Hi!

Just a quick update on the planning of the deals.

I decided to use four categories:
* Personal;
* Home;
* Pet & Garden; and
* Organic Pantry .

Each month there will be a product or group of product from at least 2 of these categories. The discount will be big.

BUT YOU WILL ONLY HAVE ACCESS TO IT VIA OUR EMAIL LIST.

You can sign up to our email list either on our website:
http://www.betweenskyandearth.com.au/

or via our Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/#!/BetweenFatherSkyandMotherEarth/app_100265896690345

The deal/s will be available for one week only.
There may be minimum and maximum transaction limits.
The deal will not be on the website and you will not be able to add items from the website to your  deal purchase.
It is only for distribution/delivery within Australia.
Payment will be by either PayPal or direct transfer to a bank account.

Hope you like the idea - and don't forget, feel free to make product suggestions.


Peace to all,
KISS for Life,
Miriam.

Announcing - Eco Life Deals

It has been a while since I wrote a blog post. So much happens.

BREAKING NEWS - Our ECO Mum Deals are being revamped!!

We will start officially in August. So, please sign up for our emails as that will be how we publicise them.

I hope to give you a "sneak peak" in a week or so.

The plan is to offer a selection of 3 or 4 deals for upto a week. Please let your eco conscious friends know.

Suggestions & requests of the types of products you would like the deals to offer is also very welcome. We cannot guarantee we can arrange what you request but we will try. (NOTE: we do not sell anything perishable at this time.)

Have a great week!

Peace to all,
KISS for Life,

Green Smoothies Rock!

I am nursing a cold at the moment. Simple little virus but gee it causes misery.

One of the best pick me ups when you are unwell or just feeling flat or "blue" is a smoothie. They are nutrient dense, raw powerhouses of goodness.

Ideally, go for those that have greens in them, but others are great too. Here is a recipe that was in my inbox today from a supplier:

Tropicana Green Smoothie 

bunch spinach
1 small pineapple, peeled and cored
4 bananas
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 segment of kefir lime leaf
10 mint leaves
1 teaspoon vanilla powder
water

Blend & enjoy!
If you need a blender we have several available.


TIP: freeze your smoothies as ice cream alternatives.


Peace to all,
KISS for Life,
Miriam.

What's New

Hey there,

Well, it has been a mixed start to the year.

We have been busy trying to organise a number of projects, not least of which is a potentially huge fundraising activity. "Create Emergency Housing for the Chemically Sensitive" is three pronged project. Here is the link if you would like to join or spread the word about it to others:

New Products seem to be going on to the website quite regularly at the moment. People are certainly more interested in being proactive about their health.

One of the exciting new products ranges we are offering is the Jack N' Jill Natural Calendula toothpaste range. The raspberry is my favourite ! They are xylitol based. Note - all the flavours and the calendula are certified organic and the packaging is BPA free.

Summer has been a bit dodgy here but we have just had a 3 day heatwave - the rain is steadily falling as I type.

Keep well,

Peace to all,
KISS for Life,
Miriam.
