I’ve always liked the idea of making my own chemical free cleaning products, and have come across books with a little bit about it stuffed somewhere towards the back as an afterthought, so when I came across this whole book dedicated to the subject, “The Art of Natural Cleaning: Tips and techniques for a chemical-free, sparkling home (Art of series)” (what a mouthful!) by chemical free Rebecca Sullivan (well, one has to assume she is) I was delighted to say the least.

First impressions are – it’s a lovely small, hardback book, and every other page is a coloured photo of either the finished product or the work in progress.

There are some lovely ideas, and these are set out into categories; Kitchen, Wardrobe and Laundry, Bathroom, Scent and Make It Shine. There’s a nice introduction from the author and a mini shopping list of which are easily sourced. Each idea, if it includes a recipe, is set out clearly with the ingredients you need and the method.

There are several “recipes” I like, but I love those in the Scent Chapter and have made my own natural chemical free air fresheners.

Overall this is a great book and I’ve enjoyed trying out some of these ideas. Incidentally, the book cover is made out of a very tactile (to me anyway) material, that has a slightly woven, textile feel to it. I’m not sure what the technical name is for it, but I like it. And can’t stop stroking it.

I love this artist's fusion of hip hop/rap styles and India inspired meditative topics. This first album flows beautifully from track to track, inspires meditative breathing, is upbeat without being busy, and is actually pretty darn fun. Tracks like Ganesh is Fresh or Rock On, Hanuman give a fun twist to really old tales whether you are familiar with them or not. I enjoy using this in conjunction with light meditation or stretchy yoga as well as a "wake up" cd first thing in the morning, or to keep me inspired while cleaning house. If you are looking for something a little off the beaten path and enjoy Matisyahu, this may be the new CD you have been looking for.
