Hey all,
I remember a while ago [perhaps a year or two back] someone posted about wanting to switch from using toilet paper to home-made cloth alternatives. I too am looking to make that switch. I've been looking for that post or one like it for an hour. Does anyone have the link to it, or a make-your-own-cloth-tp tutorial, handy? Thanks in advance.

| Natural sources of energy and water |
[21 Dec 2009|10:22pm] |
My dad has entrusted me to find out about getting solar panels for the house. He wants to find a new source of energy and maybe even get some cutbacks from the government.:)
So where can we find info on this? How much to solar panels cost? And how can you install them?
Also, is there a way to conserve rainwater? (like for gardening)

| FedCon 2009: Special BSG DVD released this week |
[22 Dec 2009|12:43am] |
 Have you ever dreamt of watching a professionally-produced DVD that contains Q&As done by James Callis, Richard Hatch, Michael Hogan, Edward James Olmos, or Mark Sheppard? Wouldn't that be a fantastic BSG-themed Christmas present?
Well, I've got great news for you: The great people of Intex Digital Sound released two major FedCon 18 DVDs this week: -- a 2-disc "FedCon 18 Highlights" DVD set, -- and a 2-disc "Battlestar Q&A" DVD set containing all the BSG panels from this year's massive, star-studded FedCon in Bonn, Germany. Both DVDs are code-free, and they're available in PAL or NTSC.
If you want those DVDs, send an e-mail to fedcon@intexsound.de (no worries, they speak English). By the way, I'm not affiliated with Intex Digital Sound, but I'd be happy to try and answer any questions that you might have. By the way, DVDs from last year's FedCon (Cairns, Clyne, Forbes, McDonnell) are on sale, too.

| Mary McDonnell & Edward James Olmos' FIRST performance together . . . |
[21 Dec 2009|02:31pm] |
And it ain't BSG.
According to my TiVo - the 1997 Adaptation of 12 Angry Men - Mary McDonnell is the judge and EJO a juror - is going to be on TV Land on January 1, 2010 at 9 AM Eastern. I've not seen this released on DVD or VHS so far as I can tell, so you may want to set your recording device of choice in order to catch it - it's a pretty decent adaptation (Also includes William Peterson, James Gandolfini, Jack Lemmon, and George C. Scott among others).

| Kiehl's skin care |

I came across the Kiehl's (www.kiehls.com) product line in my Natural Health magazine and ended up glancing through their website. The following look interesting:
rare earth deep pore cleansing masque
blue herbal moisturizer
rare earth deep pore daily pore cleanser
centella skin calming facial cleanser
centella recovery skin salve
And they have a counter in Shanghai, which is all sorts of cool. Buuuut, while the key ingredients for these products sound great, Kiehl's does not seem to fully disclose ingredients, so I can't see if there are any nasties to avoid :(
So my question for you all...has anyone used products from Kiehl's (either one of the above listed or others) and what did you think of them? How natural are they? If you own one of their products...I'd love to see an ingredient list >.>
Thanks in advance :) While I still hope to use homemade recipes for cleansers and such, it'd be nice to know if there are decent brands with (mostly)natural ingredients here in Shanghai somewhere.

Hey everyone! It's been so long since I posted (though I continue to read everyone elses entries!) and I hope everyone is well.
First, thanks to everyone who helped me out with my queston about painting styrofoam. I opted to just use permanent markers. It was something I already had and it worked out great. I vended my first convention in October (which is why I was asking about styrofoam for my displays!) and it was a HUGE success for me. I've been slowly listing the leftovers on Etsy. Beneath the cut you'll find photos of the some of the items I made for the con. The leftovers, like I said, are on my Etsy and I'll have a link to that as well at the bottom.
Happy Holidays to everyone!

| Clogged homemade cleaner spray bottle |
[20 Dec 2009|10:48pm] |
|
I have been having a weird problem with my homemade household cleaner. I am using a mix of white vinegar and lemon juice, but in each spray bottle I have tried, it seems to be clogging up the tube and basically the spray will not work. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I really want to use my mixture, it works well, but I hate that I can't use it in a convenient way.

I've found conflicting information about invisible zince. Is it safe? And how natural is it?
Thanks!
