A lovely online directory to help you find florists, studio designers, wedding and event planners, supermarket flower departments and flower farmers who are committed to using American grown flowers. Like “slow food,” slow flowers are locally grown and often organic (though not always). These florists guarantee the origin of the flowers they use.

Dancing With Water
An inspiring reorientation to water in it’s natural state, this website has everything you need to make the transition to drinking water as nature intended. It helps you understand the New Science of Water and provides tools to create full-spectrum, living water right in your own home. Start by signing up for the newsletter and receive a week’s worth of daily emails introducing you to the concept. And if you’re interested, read the book and explore all the interesting things you can use to restructure your water to be vibrantly alive. NOTE: the information and tools on this site enlivens water, but does not remove pollutants. You need to start with clean water (I recommend using water from a PureEffect filter).

Flaska Water Bottles
A reusable glass water bottle that is programmed with information that enhances the quality of the water inside. The end result is water that is restructured to be similar to spring water in it’s natural environment. The bottles are beautiful, with tight cork caps. The family-sized carafe is a gorgeous addition to any table (I had to have one). Protective sleeves come in many designs, materials include organic cotton and natural cork. NOTE: these bottles change the structure of the water, but do not remove pollutants. You need to start with clean water (I recommend using water from a PureEffect filter).

People Towels
Reusable personal hand towels, made of a patent-pending fabric that’s 100% certified organic Fair Trade cotton. The light-weight fabric is absorbent, yet dries quickly, making it possible to carry and use in public places instead of paper towels. One of the co-founders discovered the concept of using a personal hand towel on her first visit to Japan where everyone – men, women, children – young and old carry a hand towel because they do not have paper towels in public places in Japan, and hand dryers are only occasionally found in large cities. PeopleTowels are printed with eco-friendly dyes, and come in a variety of designs to appeal to different tastes and styles. Convenient hangtags even allow you to clip or loop your PeopleTowels to your backpack, belt buckle or purse.

FoxFibre Colorganic | Vresis Limited
Fabric, yarn, and sliver made from organic naturally-colored cottons and wools. I remember back in 1985 when these cottons first became available. They are natural colors that are inherent in the cotton, revealed by breeding. I have a sweater made from this cotton yarn that was hand-knit and is still one of my favorites.
Fed by Threads
Clothing for the whole family, made from organic cotton and organic hemp/organic cotton blend (a few items contain spandex, so read the labels). Various safer dyes are used, all are vegan and sweatshop free. They also offer custom-print organic t-shirts. “This all began with the simple idea to have a community shirt made for our dance/yoga/photography studio The Movement Shala in downtown Tucson. At that time, we learned some startling statistics about the depth of the hunger challenge in the United States and while Jade was bulging pregnant with our son, Sequoia, we decided we had to do something, even if it was a small act. So the simple idea was born to feed 12 emergency meal boxes every time one of our community shirts sold. What started as one rack of shirts has blossomed into what is now Fed By Threads! “
