If you're like me, the last days of summer were washed away will the torrents of rain we've been having. If you need a natural lift for your spirits, then try this Autumn Scented Soap Trio. The soapmaker is also a trained chef  who grows all of his organic herbs and flowers and combines them with essential oils, spices, natural clays and 100% vegetable oil. Three bars in Cinnamon Swirl, Orange Clove, and Pine.

Today is the first day of Autumn.

Can't stand your mother-in-law's cooking? Tired of bland diner food? Are you just a total food snob or do you just have an urge to give your food that perfect Bam! from home? With this Foodie Survival Kit you won't have to worry about plain food on the road again. This kit is filled with little tins of organic herbs, soy sauce, wasabi and that can't-leave-home-without-it staple, Tobasco.

Don't leave home without it. Great for the office, too!

This collection of Rainforest Snacks includes an assortment of three Fair Trade chocolate bars, a bag of cashews, a bag of Brazilnuts, a box of Yachana Jungle Chocolate (made with organic nibs) and assorted wrapped candies.

If your garden is like mine it can use all the help it can get. This Earth Healer Garden Compost Tea will make it happy-happy! The Trappist Monks at the Mepkin Abbey in South Carolina are well known for their beautiful gardens, and they have an extensive compost operation, thanks to their hens (egg-laying chickens for all you city slickers) and lots of dried pine shavings.

This half-pound environmentally responsible and ecologically safe "tea" bag can be used several times. So tell your plants to "drink up" and be happy!

Earth Day is April 22.
