Recently I have been having issues with gray hairs that are sprouting throughout my hair. Being apposed to hair dyes that are ridden with tough, harmful chemicals I went in search of hair dye that is natural. I have found henna to be the solution. Henna hair dye is has been used for centuries to give hair a conditioned, red/orangish color. But when henna is used with indigo powder it provides your hair that natural jet black hair color. This is a great inexpensive solution to using hair dyes. My only suggestion is to make sure that you purchase 100% henna and 100% indigo powder, as many retailers will sell you henna that are mixed in with Para-phenylenediamine (PPD), sometimes called “black henna”. My suggestion is to stay away from products that list this in their ingredient as it can cause allergic reactions and lifelong health issues for the skin.

I just purchased this lotion today and it has been a godsend. It doesn’t contain the toxic chemicals that are found in mainstream lotion, yet it has an enduring effect on the skin. The scent isn’t overwhelming and it provides relief to dry skin. This product comes highly recommended from a majority of the reviews. Alba Botanica Very Emollient Body Lotion, Daily Shade Formula, SPF 15, 32-Ounce Bottle

Michigan University has made the switch to liquid ozone cleaning method for all of their university housing. The liquid ozone has been around for 75 years, but only recently has it been used for cleaning. Over the long term the implementation of the liquid ozone cleaning will save to company around fifty thousand a year and will result in a very sustainable cleaning method. It is good to see a university take actions that are aligned with what the university preaches. Read the rest at the University Website.

Is the cost of using green products beneficial for your business. Going green is good for the planet and good for people, but is the cost of going green too difficult to handle. Some fields of business are more costly to go green then others, but overall shouldn’t the cost difference be decreased as much as possible so it can be used more frequently. What is making things difficult is uncertainty of the demand for the product.

How excited are you for the Ipad 3 to be available soon. The newest and best Ipad is going to be faster and have a longer battery life. I will find myself to be one of the people in line waiting early in the morning. The Ipad video at their website looks very good: http://www.apple.com/ipad/#video.

I have noticed while browsing some limousine service for an upcoming event that some are claiming to be a green limousine company. I know everyone has seen green taxi companies that use hybrid cars (mostly priuses), but how can limousines become a green limousine company. I just don’t think it is possible. Anyway this is the limousine company I selected for picking up our guests from the SFO Airport Limousine.
