Valentine's Day is Around the Corner

Yikes, I've been so busy I haven't thought much about Valentine's Day this year. That's terrible for a person that is a sappy romantic at heart.



I have found that everything in your life can be done in a green way, even Valentine's Day (and your sex life). Eco friendly gifts include organic chocolates, organic flowers, fair trade coffees and teas, organic cotton, hemp, and peace silk lingerie (which is really hard to find by the way). Enamore in the UK has some really sexy sustainable lingerie but I haven't found much here in the US. Maybe by next Valentine's Day I'll be ready to be totally green.

Meijer Has Organics

I live in Michigan so we have Meijer grocery stores. I was going throug their weekly ads and discovered they have their own line of organic foods now. I'll have to check it out. They are USDA certified organic but that doesn't mean 100% organic unless it says so but it does have to be at least 70% organic. I'll check out the labels next time I go grocery shopping there.

New Green Articles Ready to Read

Simply Green: Easy Things You Can Do to Be Green and Save Money is ready to read at Associated Content and Don't Be Duped into Buying Green is up at Garden and Hearth.

I had to take a break from all the wedding stuff and write something different though I didn't stray far since it's still all about being green.

Back to the book now. I'm working on the topic of green wedding favors right now.

Get Your Green Books Here

Need help planing a green wedding, these books are just what you are looking for.

Green Wedding Book available in December

Well, I just received an email from my editor and found out my book should be ready and in stores some time in December, woo hoo!

I'm pretty excited, this is my first book so we'll see how it goes. I guess I already know what I'm getting for Christmas this year my very own name in print! Here's another woo hoo! :-)

First half of the green wedding book finished

I just sent the first half of my green wedding planning book off to my editor.

Yeah, done, finished, complete, well the first half anyway...until editing starts.

Now I get to take a deep breath, relax for about...2 seconds :-) then get started on the second half of the book.

Fire Your Wedding Planner

Fire Your Wedding Planner is one of the very best guides for saving a lot of money on your wedding.

While not necessarily green, you can apply her advice to planning a green wedding.

Who doesn't want to save money, especially with today's struggling economy?

Stephi also has tons of free advice, a free newsletter and a classified site.

History of the Engagement Ring

I have a new article up on Wedding Planning for the Budget Bride, Circle of Love – The History of Engagement Rings and Wedding Bands. Soon I'll be adding articles about vintage wedding bands and the new green trend, wooden wedding rings.
