Sprout Herb Pencils

Pencils in the kitchen? What's that about?

Sprout herb pencils are in fact a simple, innovative, and practically perfect recycling idea!
Each of these charming writing (or sketching) instruments is tipped with a water-activated seed capsule which can be planted in soil after the writing element has been used up.
After a short while, your diminished pencils will grow into something living, delicious, newly beneficial to your life and our planet.

These would make wonderful holiday (or any time) gifts, and are available for purchase from the Who'd Have Thought? website.

Sunflower Love

Did you know that a sunflower head is made up of thousands of little flowers?

Do you know why sunflowers face the sun?

Were you aware that the Aztecs worshiped these flowers, and considered them to be a form of a solar deity worthy of gold reproduction, installation in their holy temples and sacred rituals?

Please click the image below to read more interesting facts in our infographic ode to sunflowers:

 There are so many reasons to love sunflowers! We simply adore these beautiful blossoms, thrive on their many nutritional benefits they provide in the form of seeds, and find it impossible to feel unhappy around them.

We hope you have enjoyed this post, and will spread some sunflower love with family and friends.

Namaste.

Juicy Goodness In A Glass

Yes, there is something about warm weather, sunshine and fruit that just screams summer lovin'. In combination these elements are a trinity of Earthly goodness. Today I would like to share a part of that Earthly goodness through this video "Juicy June/July." There are a few ingredients that used and an emphasis on making enough to freeze and save (or perhaps savor) later. In any case I do hope that you enjoy this delicious drink recipe.

*The recipe calls for Kombucha, but could potentially be substituted for 50ml of apple cider vinegar. I recognize that the fermented drink is not accessible everywhere and thus recommend the apple cider vinegar as a substitute.
