Dear Subscriber,

 

Easter comes late this year, and spring is well underway. The beauty of the spring brings a feeling of renewal to all people. Consider the birds of the air, and the lilies of the field as families gather for food and celebrations.

 

Easter celebrations often include fake grass, plastic eggs, chocolate bunnies loaded with preservatives and baskets covered in cellophane. For a healthier and much more cost effective approach, look for decorations and activities that don’t harm our bodies or the environment.

 

Decorate your home for Easter with recyclable materials. Create grass for Easter baskets with paper scraps that you cut and crimp in a paper shredder. Use colorful ads from old magazines for added effect.  Fill your children’s Easter baskets with eco-friendly items like gardening tools and seed kits, books and organic chocolates.

 

Make an easy Easter themed wreath for your front door by covering a straw wreath with some bright green foliage or moss. Add lots of early spring flowers such as tulips, daffodils, narcissus, and forsythia. Complete your wreath with a bow created from recycled ribbon. 

 

Easter lilies are inexpensive and they add a cheerful note to your home’s spring décor. Display your Easter lilies in an area away from direct heat and in indirect sunlight. The flowers prefer temperatures around 60°. When selecting Easter Lilies, buy ones that are just beginning to open. The blooms will only last a few days, so selecting one about to open will allow you the maximum bloom time in your home. After the flower has died off, continue to grow the lily in its container until the last frost in your area. Then, transplant your Easter lily in a flower garden. Easter lilies will grow and bloom in your garden for years.

 

Buy real eggs in cartons that are made of cardboard. (Free-range eggs are the best.)  Don’t succumb to the temptation to use commercial dyes. Natural food dyes give you more color possibilities and a broader range of shades. Kids really enjoy having the opportunity of playing with food and coloring their Easter eggs in an original way that celebrates their creativity.

 

Boil your eggs in water with a bit of vinegar and add one of the ingredients below and let the pot simmer for about 15 minutes: 

 

•	Purple grape juice for lavender
•	Red cabbage for blue
•	Spinach for green
•	Lemon peels for yellow
•	Coffee or black walnut shells for brown
•	Yellow onion skins for orange
•	Beets or cranberries for pink
•	Red onion skins for red

 

Explain to your children that you are using natural dyes because they are healthier and better for the environment. Explain to them that after all of the Easter egg hunts are over, the eggshells will be composted for use in the garden.

  

Use the Easter holiday as an opportunity to educate your children about the importance of renewal and taking care of our planet. Peter Cottontail will enjoy his visit much more if your Easter celebration is focused on healthy living.

Green tea is unique: it's made from pure, unfermented leaves that are harvested at their peak perfection and then stabilized through exposure to both humid and dry heat — giving green tea the highest concentration of polyphenols and locking in the tannins.

 

Tannins ensure that caffeine is taken to the brain in only small amounts so it can be easily used. This helps green tea drinkers improve their vitality and stamina without the up-and-down effect of black tea.

 

Tannins inhibit the oxidation of your body's DNA material, a leading cause of cell destruction and mutation.

 

Green tea tannins help clear urinary tract infections, stimulate digestion, reduce unwanted body fat, increase hair growth and support saliva secretion to keep teeth free of plaque.

 

Pretty amazing, don't you agree? Gain the enhanced immunity protection of 20 cups of tea with just a few drops of GREEN TEA ELIXIR™!
