Great Idea: Turn Pallets into a Green House

I spent a little time in the Bonner Center Community Garden yesterday. Someone had decided to frame up a little house using pallets. This is Central Florida, so I'm not sure if it will be a shade house or a green house. Either way, great idea. Kale is looking good too.

Update 2/13/13  My friend Jason tagged me in his photo on facebook.  Looks like a green house to me!

Zeolite Detox Soap

My Zeolite Detox Soap has a new look.  I hope you like it.  This unscented soap has a high concentration of Zeolite, Bentonite Clay, and Activated Charcoal.  The charcoal gives the soap the dark color. The soaps have a mild gentle lather and are moderately exfoliating. This can be used as a hand soap, body soap or a facial soap for people with normal to oily or blemished skin types.
