Going Green One Day at a Time . . .

LIVING GREEN IS SEXY


SHE KNOWS . . . .DO YOU?

Today's Mantra: Today I commit to going green for superficial reasons, it's sexy, trendy, decreases my stress levels, gives me something cool to talk about, forces me to become more aware of my spirit and physical wellness needs and because the reusable bags are cool . . .

We all have our own reasons for going green. Some people delay the inevitable because they don't know where to begin. I say, begin with one small change at a time. A friend of mine lost his wallet so, I replaced it with a recycled one. My mentor's favorite tote bag broke, so she bought a reusable one at Suite Ta Bu. A colleague needed some jewelry for a dinner party and turned to us for a purchase of pearl earrings. In what way can you be greener today than you were yesterday? Try something small like using the same lunch bag or utensils

Another option is to commit to the use of only all natural products and cosmetics but what ever you do, it'll feel better than doing nothing. . . .

So, make your move and be sure to tell us what it is . .

Do you kiss & Tell . . .WE DO

It's here, the Parisian silk, the seductive satin, the lovely lace replete with Moroccan accents. Suite Ta Bu has finally launched our Prive collection of colorfully feminine lingerie. Have you seen it? It's a perfect gift for you or for them . . . *smile*

Question of the Week: Do men and women like the same lingerie? We found after talking with the men of Black Planet that there is a stark difference between what men like and what women think their significant others want to see. Do you know what kind of lingerie accents your figure?
We polled the men of Black Planet and they had some really specific requests!

The Holidays are near . . ..Are you ready?

I received a holiday card from a friend the other day and I started to wonder,
how many people still believe in "snail mail" cards? More importantly, in these economic times, who are you really buying for? According to one of my aunts, she's developed something she refers to as the "TEN YEAR RULE," if she hasn't known you for at least that long you don't get a gift. How are you deciding who to buy gifts for this holiday season?

Are you having Suite dreams?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIRGOS!!!

What a hectic past few days, I've had an amazing birthday! and now that its over, I'm all about REST! The love of my life, whisked me away from the Suite for a bit, to go horseback riding and as a former "placed" cross country and dressage rider, this was an excellent way to begin the relaxation. Taking the time to commune with nature really enhanced an amazing sleep that night and I started thinking . . .

How are you sleeping?
&
Could you sleep better?








With so many people inflicting us with their "two cent life-is-perfect-stress-is-a-figment-of -your imagination-psycho-babble" I thought, why not just do what has worked for decades.

"PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR NEEDS! "

I know that the solution for better sleep is simple, just

"GET BACK TO the BASICS". Here are some thoughts on how to "Dream Suite-ly". . . and Yes, we at www.whatissuitetabu.com can help!


Suite Dreams: The Five Fixes

1. LOVE WHAT YOU FEEL: What are you sleeping on?
If Ancient Egyptian Kings and Queens cared about thread count and material quality so should you. I've learned that sleeping on better quality fabrics translates into a deeper sleep experience.
Our suggestion: See Eco Home Accents in the Eco Suite

2. ENJOY WHAT YOU SEE: What are you surrounded by?
You can make your life more colorful, its as simple as a choice and when you organize those choices better the result is less stress. So, maybe try a Bentley, as in our recycled briefcase to organize your work essentials or get "the cube" to organize your luxury linens. It's one less thing to worry about and trust me you'll feel the difference.
Our suggestion: Visit the sensual suite and click on novelties

3. GET TOUCHED: Get and give a massage with an organic body care selection.
Can't afford the spa try one of our fragrant massage oils, we also carry organic human and puppy care shampoos and conditioners. If you're a pet lover, give your pet a good rub down he'll give you lots of love and a good "leaning" which is just as good as a massage.
Our suggestion: Visit the Spa Suite and check out the Organic Puppy care tab

4. EXPRESS THE BEAUTY OF YOUR HEART: Give a gift
I always feel amazing when I give an appreciated associate a gift. To me gifts express to another that they're valued and that our connection is recognized. Giving is empowering. When we give, we realize that we have something to offer and its valuable. We are valuable, from our time to our treasures.
Our suggestion: Visit Suite Akidah Njuzu and give an Eco Gift for Gratitude

5. FEED THE "SENSORY" NEED: Find YOUR Fragrance.
When I get a hug and my senses take in a new or unique fragrance, I feel alive. Do you?
We're often remembered by our scents and we associate feelings of joy and happiness with scents --from our lover's perfume to organic coffee, that tells us, its time to rise. What emotions do the scents around you invoke? Happiness and Prosperity I hope.
Our suggestion: Experience the Scent Suite and explore our Fragrances


Live well,

Live Long & Prosper

Live Long & Prosper: The Sustainable & Organic Lifestyle
Is Spock the father of “Green-age thought”? Maybe not but life is and can be better than you’ve ever imagined it to be. All you have to do is believe his mantra, you can, live long & prosper. For some the dream is, having more time and for others it is preserving their health. Whatever your dream, it is obtainable and organic and sustainable living has more to do with it than you know. Why are you waiting for a solution outside of yourself to arrive? All you have to do is – DECIDE to become the solution. You may not transform overnight into a Green Goddess or an Eco Adventurer but as with any courageous goal, this can be accomplished in baby steps, one step and one commitment at a time.

What’s the fuss about? Sustainable living in short, allows us to reuse and recycle materials into repurposed and often times, more efficient goods, which limit the over use of natural resources and the impact that pollution has on our earth. Adhering to an organic eating lifestyle, that includes the use of organic spices, limits our health risk to mood disorders, cancer and a myriad of other wellness inhibitors. Did you know that

“According to a recent study by the Globe and Mail and CTV News, of the nutrient quality of fruit and vegetables, compared to 50 years ago, today’s regular fruit and vegetables contain dramatically less vitamins and minerals7. The average potato has lost 100% of its vitamin A, 57% of its vitamin C and iron, 28% of its calcium, 50% of its riboflavin, and 18% of its thiamin. Out of seven key nutrients studied, only niacin levels increased. Similar results applied to 24 other fruits and vegetables. For broccoli, all seven nutrients fell, including a 63% decrease in calcium and a 34% decrease in iron. No wonder we are gulping down the supplements. In April 2001, however, a US study examined 41 comparisons of the nutrient levels in organic and regular foods. In every case, the organic crops had higher nutrient levels - 27% more vitamin C, 29% more iron, 14% more phosphorus8”.
