I spent a lot of time in the yard yesterday ... planting a few more herbs, some tomatoes, moving perennials around to different spots.  I felt so proud when I used my own homemade compost.  Afterwards, I sat in an adirondack chair and watched birds, smelled lilacs. 

Last night we attended 'Spamalot'.  And, yes ... we laughed a lot.  A total must-see for any Monty Python fan. 

Now, excuse me while I sleep with my eyes open.  

I'd like to share a few of my recent favorites for pampering, all of which are either organic, eco-friendly, or just plain FEEL-GOOD products.  They smell pretty nice too.  (I have a lot of recommendations on my other site, which you can find under the categories 'kibitz' and 'linkage'.  That said, I'm going to try to post a few more of them over here.)

• Avalon Organic Exfoliating Enzyme Scrub -- This product is REALLY gentle. 
  
• Avalon Organics Ultimate Moisture Cream -- Very soothing and smells oh-so good. 
  
• Alba Moisturizing Shave Cream -- This stuff STAYS ON MY LEGS in the shower, not being washed away before I get a chance to shave. 
  
• BWC Eye Make-Up Remover -- For some reason, since I bought this, I remember to remove my eye make-up EVERY NIGHT before bed. 
  
• Aura Cacia Lavender Aromatherapy Body Cream -- Smell good ... and be smelled!

If you try any of these, please let me know what you think and if you like them as much as I do.

P.S.  Sorry, guys.  This post is mostly so NOT for you.

Believe me when I say, "This is NOT one of those cat blogs."

Totally the best Mother's Day ever, including brunch with Morel mushroom strudel and mmmimosas.  Later, coffee and laziness and asparagus with Grana.  Oh, and tech-gadget presents too!

X and theother23 have been in secret talks regarding Mother's Day plans, so I don't know what to expect today.  That said, the purse above?  Happy Mum's Day to me!!!

And, you! 

I want to link you to this little tidbit today.
