Over the past few years you have, no doubt, taken some steps towards making your daily routine more earth friendly. Perhaps you have taught your children to throw bottles and cans into the recycling bin instead of the trash can, traded in your clunker for a hybrid, or even begun riding your bicycle to work every day. Everywhere around us, we can witness the inspiring sight of our friends and colleagues working together to reduce their carbon footprint.

With all of this hard work you have been doing to give Mother Earth some TLC, you deserve some special attention, too! You need some soothing and pampering products to soften your skin and relax your soul. With the natural and botanically derived ingredients of Daub & Bauble products, you can even ride the green wave into your daily cleansing and moisturizing routine.

To top it all off, Daub & Bauble has award winning bottle designs, too! Wallpaper, Communication Arts, and How magazines have all recognized the beautiful and colorful bottle designs, which are made of recyclable plastic. Even your in-laws will be impressed when your soap bottle matches your home décor!

Each mother is nurturing in a different way.  You can see her gentle touch in the way she carefully places a band aid on a scraped knee, or scrambles eggs in the morning for her growing brood.  You feel her warmth as she volunteers at school or church functions, opening her heart, not just to her family, but to the community. What kind of nurturer is your mom, wife or daughter?

The Nature Lover

Does your special lady love all creatures, great and small?  Is her idea of a perfect morning sipping a cup of coffee, reading the paper next to a picture window watching the birds courting each other?  Is she on the lookout for insects trapped inside that need to be let out?  Does she rescue stray animals and nurse them back to health?  If her lovely afternoon is spent talking to the animals, consider the Perch! Bird Feeder or the Modern Nesting Box that will frame the tableaux of feathered friends outside her window.  Check out more ideas For the Birds.

As I mentioned in a previous post, Mimosa is Pantone’s 2009 Color of the Year.  The color yellow reminds us of the warmth and nuturing qualities of the sun, which are qualities that most humans are drawn to, not to mention yellow coordinates with just about every color.  Add a splash of vibrant yellow with Daub & Bauble’s Sorrento Lemon and Ginger Hand Set to your kitchen or bath to conjure up the fresh scents of the outdoors this season.

The Daub & Bauble set is an affordable way to add a happy yellow without committing your walls to such a vibrant paint color.  You have the option to buy other garden scents as a set, alone as hand lotion or hand wash, or add a little sophistication with Daub & Bauble’s white ceramic caddy.
