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,
Miriam.

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.

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:
http://www.causes.com/causes/647846-create-emergency-housing-for-the-chemically-sensitive/actions?recruiter_id=166139431
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,

Sustainabilty & Permaculture
There has been a big buzz in our home lately. Why? I think I have finally sorted out a great location as a home base for our Permaculture courses!
My brain has been running overtime planning bits and pieces - where would we go for site visits, who would be our guest tutors, can we get funding to subsidise places for low income earners, the design of our certificates (Bill Mollison used to issue the certificates but no longer does it so it is up to individual educators to take care of this), what little extras can be included in the course cost (text book/s, course notes, Permaculture Melbourne membership, beverages, snacks, etc).
What is "Permaculture" I hear you ask - well it is jsut the most suitable and practical philosophy and methodology to live a truly sustainable life. It can be applied to a household, a suburb, a town, a farm, a country, the entire globe!
"Permaculture is sustainability in action." Josh Byrne, Gardening Australia
We want to spread this knowledge far and wide to anyone who is willing to learn. Please join us - tell others about it. This planet will not have a healthy future if we don't take action and change the way we do things.
Please see the sustainability page of our website for more details -
http://betweenskyandearth.com.au/store/pc/viewContent.asp?idpage=14
You can also join us on Facebook -

We look forward to chatting with you soon.

We ARE all FREE
Today I came across a wonderful song I was unaware of by an artist I love.
In light of the tumultuous times around the globe, I felt compelled to use it for my blog today. ENJOY.
PEACE to all,
KISS for Life,

Please enjoy and share “Free” by Stevie Wonder. The images in the video are fantastic and the lyrics are below.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCxo6BUG4JI&feature=share
Free like the river
Flowing freely through infinity
Free to be sure of
What I am and who I need not be
Free from all worries
Worries prey on oneself's troubled mind
Freer than the clock's hands
Tickin' way the times
Freer than the meaning of free that man defines
Life running through me
Till I feel my father God has called
Me having nothin'
But possessing riches more than all
And I'm free
To be nowhere
But in every place I need to be
Freer than a sunbeam
Shining through my soul
Free from feelin' heat or knowing bitter cold
Free from conceiving the beginning
For that's the infinite start
I'm gone - gone but still living
Life goes on without a beating heart
Free like a vision
That the mind of only you can see
Freer than a raindrop
Falling from the sky
Freer than a smile in a baby's sleepin' eyes
I'm free like a river
Flowin' freely through infinity
I'm free to be sure of what
I am and who I need not to be
I'm much freer - like the meaning of the word free that crazy man defines
Free - free like the vision that
The mind of only you are ever gonna see
Free like the river my life
Goes on and on through infinity

Summer is approaching here in Australia. That means lots of Aussies will be using more personal care products for a few months - sunscreen and after sun exposure skincare products. Also, they are likely to use more makeup as they tend to party a bit more.
Can you go a day without makeup?
Do you read the labels on the products you use - whether they are makeup, skincare or bodycare products? Can you understand those labels?
Did you know your skin absorbs about 60% of what goes on it into your system?
Did you also know that the skin is the largest organ of the body?
Are you fully aware of the ingredients in your makeup (and personal care products) you and your family members use?
Most of them are of dubious origins and potentially negative impacts on human and environmental health.
Want to find some alternatives?
We carefully choose what we sell. See www.betweenskyandearth.com.au or email us info@betweenskyandearth.com.au - we're looking forward to helping you.
