Making your life greener - one bite at a time.

Instead of buying chocolates with packaging sure to end up at a nearby landfill, make some treats or heart shape biscuits / cakes. The Heart ... source of our Love, our Dreams & Desires...nothing compares to be so Beautiful & Mysterious.

Bake a pie with "I Love You".

Write your message in the sand on a beach.

Make your love a present instead of buying one. Ideas: self-painted pottery, a photograph you took, hand-knitted socks, a self-composed love song, a donation in his or her name to your eco-oriented non-profit of choice. Fill a little basket with small home-made treats. Decorate with ribbons and sprigs from the garden.
 
It's easy to make a small heart shaped wreath. Wrap kitchen herbs and flowers along two equal lengths of wire or vine. Bind together at one end, then form a heart shape. Decorate with ribbons.

Why not start the special day with a candle lit breakfast?

Make a Herb Pillow with fabric scraps and ribbons etc. Air dried herbs work best. You may cheat a little with some pure essential oils if stocks are low in the garden.Try Rosemary, Basil, Scented Geraniums etc...

Candles (paraffin-free) beeswax, flowers (organic), ribbons, and handwritten, heartfelt messages. These are the magic ingredients to make a celebration...

Plan an evening stroll through a nearby park, forest, or beach. Hold hands, stare at the stars and moon, and listen to the sounds of nature. If it’s raining, find a covered vista or gondola and kiss to keep warm.

Have a family picnic under the stars or make reservations at an eco-friendly organic restaurant, or don your chef’s hat and prepare an organic feast that’s good to the tastebuds and good to the planet.

Loving is ecologically very sound, does not upset the environment, energy efficient, saves heat, portable, requires no extra equipment, always working with benefits, eases tension, fights insomnia, makes every great day, even greater. A wonderful feeling of belonging, feels great, dispels loneliness and opens doors to feelings, communication and the list goes on. What value, what price if it could be sold?
