I hadn’t had my Hunter boots for very long when I noticed a white, powder-looking coating. A quick Google search told me this phenomenon is called “blooming” and caused by the natural wax in the boot coming to the surface. Seems the two most popular methods to get rid of the bloom are olive oil… Continue reading TRY: Wax On, Wax Off

BUY: VIOLIGHT Slim Sonic Toothbrush
I love my Sonicare toothbrush, but even with the travel case it’s not the most compact item to bring with you when you travel. I always end up throwing a regular toothbrush into my dopp kit. Then I saw these mini (6.5″ long) sonic toothbrushes from VIOLIGHT. Just one AAA battery and you’re set to… Continue reading BUY: VIOLIGHT Slim Sonic Toothbrush

Listen: JOHN CRUZ “One of These Days”
I first heard the JOHN CRUZ cover of the classic Hawaiian song “Hi’ilawe” at the end of Monday’s episode of Hawaii Five-O. After listening to samples of all the songs on Cruz’s “One of These Days” album, which includes “Hi’ilawe”, I am in love, love, love. As a fan of Jack Johnson, Ben Harper and Israel Kamakawiwo’Ole,… Continue reading Listen: JOHN CRUZ “One of These Days”

BOGS
I love my Hunter boots but those suckers are a bit challenging to pull on and off. Great for rainy days in the city but for stomping around in the garden I found myself looking for something else. I found them in BOG boots. With a four-way stretch inner bootie these boots are comfort rated… Continue reading BOGS
SWANS ISLAND BLANKETS
These luxe blankets are handmade on air-assisted shuttle looms, using naturally occurring brown and black sheep. These sheep aren’t common, and after three or four years, their fleeces tend to go grey, so SWANS ISALND is only able to weave a limited number of rare brown and black wool blankets each year. Get yours! SWANS… Continue reading SWANS ISLAND BLANKETS
Bombs Away!
These Seed Bombs are, well, the bomb. Five “gumball-sized” balls are packed into each pouch; just throw and grow! The balls break upon impact with the ground, rain and water further disintegrates the ball. Different blends are available: Flower, Herb, Dog & Cat Friendly, East Coast, Southeast, Midwest, Pacific Northwest, West Coast, and Southwest. You… Continue reading Bombs Away!
