Here in Eugene, Oregon, summer has been playing hide-and-seek with us. We'll have a day or two of brilliant sunshine and warmth, followed by a few days of gray skies and sprinkles. It's hard to know how to prepare for the changeable weather! That's why I'm glad I have one of these Elemental Herbs SPF 30 zinc sunsticks tucked into my bag.

Herbs are the foundation, heart and soul of Mountain Rose Herbs, and we’re always delighted to be able to add fresh new offerings to our lineup. This week, we’re unveiling 4 new herbs!

Around here, we’re huge fans of Oregon Soap Company! For several years, we’ve offered (and enjoyed) their luscious, long-lasting organic bar soaps. Carefully handcrafted with organic vegetable oils and scented with pure plant-derived essential oils, these soaps are the real thing. These friendly soapcrafters are friends of the natural world as well; for every 10 bars or 5 gallons of soap sold, they are committed to planting one tree or native plant!
