I have a budding artist on my hands. One of the boys is truly obsessed with all things related to building and artwork. I've been able to keep most of his artwork confined to proper surfaces and keep stocked up on various papers, paints, markers, and crayons to keep his creative spirits entertained.
The best part of childhood is the ability to live in a world of whimsy and dreams. Anything you want to be in life seems attainable. If you want to be a princess, all you need is a pretty dress and a crown made out of tin foil. If it's a superhero you desire, a towel tied around your shoulders brings its own superpowers.
I remember the first time I forrayed into "real" makeup. By real, I mean something a little stronger than chapstick. My first purchase was lipgloss, you remember the kind that comes in the little tins where the lid just slid off. With just a little color and a little flavor it was a big step into my teen years.
I'm not the only one who cherished those earlier times, the folks at TINte Cosmetics have built their entire line around those special memories. TINte has created a line of seven rich tones with saturated flavors and a super silky feel. Each lip cover comes with that retro inspired tin that I remember from my childhood even though the colors it holds are anything but childish.
My personal favorite is the blackberry jam! Checkout their entire line at www.tintecosmetics.com .

I went a little eco crazy this spring. The time had come to tear out my very lived-in carpeting that had seen better days and replace it with something new. When we went shopping for that something new, I knew what I wanted -- bamboo floors for most of the house and organic cotton carpeting for the upstairs where my studio lives. My feet get cold during the cold Minnesota winters and I live most of the day in my studio / office.
I even got in an argument at Home Depot after I asked a flooring specialist where they had linoleum (a product made out of renewable linseed oil) and she pointed me at vinyl (a product made out of petroleum products). Yep, I was the crazy eco chick yelling at a salesclerk. To defend myself, the boys had been sick with respiratory infections for a month and the doctor said it was probably coming from the carpet. 
Of course, once I replaced most of the flooring had been replaced something became very clear. I had to paint! Everything! Right now!! New floors make six-year-old painted walls look just a little too lived in
low order. After painting the entire house, I was dizzy from the fumes from the paint I had chosen at the local paint store. . Serena & Lily's colorful paint selections (we love the "Grass" hue feature above) also have low VOCs and low odor. 
I would have loved to have found their "grass" paint prior to painting my oldest sons room. He had selected an outdoorsy themed room and it would have been the perfect color.
