I have written about bathing before, but it's time to revisit the pleasure and luxury of bath time. Up until a few months ago, I had never used my bathtub for anything more than a vessel for a daily shower. Now I've turned my tub into a veritable hydrotherapy spa. I've stocked my shelves with a variety of irresistible essential oil bath treatments and even as the warm months approach I continue to bathe — just in cooler water.
I have never taken a bath in my current apartment. Though I've lived here for over a year and though the bathroom was completely renovated (tub included) I have not yet made the time to fill the tub and take a break.
But my time is coming. A recent suggestion from the Atlanta School of Massage has inspired me to give my tub a thorough scrub down in preparation for what I expect to be a blissful hour of soaking.
Interests: Horseback riding, watching the silence of the snow, obviously anything creative, cooking
Inspiration: Like most of you, when I heard of recycling to save the earth, I naturally assumed I needed to separate my plastics, newspapers and glass. I was helping. That was all I needed to do. Then one day, I was searching around for something fun, some art, and I came across this abstract piece. It was gorgeous - it looked like a naturally formed wave of icy white water bursting into the air. When I looked closer at it, I saw that it was made from recycled plastic caps. I was in shock. What kind of imagination and talent does that take to look at a plastic cap and see more to it then what it actually is? How can someone be so ingenious that they can take something that we normally throw away and create such a piece of beauty with it? This is the thought process that I could not stop pondering and it took over my mind, body and soul and soon enough became my muse.
I began Earth's Journey for this reason. I wanted to show the world that there was more to saving the earth than just recycling. There is beauty in things we can't even imagine, and so many ways to help our planet flourish. There are products out there that we all could use to completely decorate, furnish and run a home... all environmentally safe. You can buy organic bedding, non-toxic cleaning detergents, solar power, or make a change in a small way by using energy-efficient light bulbs. But the best part of recycling and being eco-friendly is the beauty that you'll find here, with all of our different artisans. As you can see I'm very passionate about this type of artistic creativity, and I hope you will be too.
I invite you to sit back, relax and ... Be Inspired by Green!
