Celebrate the Solstice in Stylelife with yoga. The Sun Salutation set is a yogic exercise that generally incorporates eight poses to power up your core and your love of light. While some say that the traditional routine dates back thousands of years to the depths of the Indian past, others think that sun salutations have a more recent history, beginning with a 20th century raja in Aundh. Whatever the truth may be, salute to peace, prosperity, and good health on your solstice day!

GONE FISHING Take advantage of the extra rays and set out on a nautical adventure. Start early and feel the solstice sun warm the waters as you reel in your latest and greatest catch! Whether you go lakeside, or deep sea, the solstice (weather permitting) is a great day to catch a meal and have a good time.

EARTHEN EXCITEMENT Show your love for nature by planting a seed or tree! We’re experts in gardening, but gardens of course have their roots in farming. The solstice has always been a very important day for farmers, as it marks the midpoint of the growing season and the home stretch to harvest time. Celebrate growing things by adding a bit more green to your world!

LOOK TO THE SKY Walk like an Egyptian and celebrate a summery new year! In ancient times, the Egyptian New Year was marked by the rise of the great star, Sirius (not your satellite radio). Sirius came out to play around the time of the summer solstice, and as such, the longest day could also mark a brand new year! Consult the stars and let this ancient messenger put you in touch with your New Year’s resolutions.

Take to the Woods Go on a camping trip and see the world in all its natural beauty! Enjoy the weather, the extra light, and the incredible scenery. Whether it’s a trip to a national park or a simple night under the stars in the backyard, take the time to stay outside and feel the world in its purest form.

DadIf you’re planning on presenting your dad with yet another necktie this June, perhaps it’s time to plan something new. There are better ways to show your dad you care, for instance…

Get outside! Dads love the outdoors—it’s just a fact of life. Celebrate dad by going out for a father/son bike ride or a father/

daughter hike. Guaranteed he’ll appreciate the time together more than he appreciates his “World’s Best Dad” t-shirt.

Kick back and relax. Reward him with a day of rest and relaxation. Whether that means propping his

feet up in his favorite recliner, or hitting the lake for a long overdue fishing excursion—the dad in your life is sure to appreciate the downtime.

Catch a movie. When’s the last time dad got to pick the flick? He’s used to never-ending Disney marathons with the kids and chick flicks with mom, so why not treat him to a fast-paced, action-packed movie that he’s secretly been dying to see?

Try something new! Like...geocaching. Geocaching is essentially a glorified treasure hunt, but instead of a treasure map, all you need is an iPhone or GPS device. Gather the entire family and spend the day searching for hidden treasure in your own backyard.

Take him out to the ballgame. There’s a reason baseball is referred to as “America’s favorite pastime.” Even if your dad isn’t a huge baseball fan, no one can resist the lure of the ballpark. At the very least, consider hitting up the batting cages and challenging dad to a bat-off.

Above all, keep in mind that Father’s Day is all about celebrating dad; the guy who likely makes sacrifices on a daily basis for his family—aka you. Figure out what he loves most, and spend the day doing just that. It’s guaranteed to be way more memorable than that light up necktie you scored last year.

Coffee is chock-full of flower-friendly nutrients like calcium, nitrogen, phosphorous,

and other minerals.

Thanks for a quick delivery. I intend to use this in the garden, as well as taken internally for my health. I've read numerous feedback on this product and [I am] very excited about the potential health benefits.

Lisa R. Joliet, IL

In trying to get healthier, I've read about the benefits of Diatomaceous Earth. I originally purchased the 1 lb jar and am so impressed that, not even halfway through it, I have ordered the larger 3 lbs. Shipping was fast and it arrived as expected.

Wenona H. Nashville, TN.

"I have multiple chemical sensitivity and cannot use anything toxic in my home. Well, it's been two days now and all the pill bugs + spiders are gone. I was vacuuming up at least 3 dozen pill bugs and 4 spiders per day. I distributed the "DE" around the baseboards (with a hair dye bottle - the kind you find at Walmart in the "travel" area section) and I put a thin line of "DE" in front of my doors. I'm truly speechless. No more bugs. Something else. A week ago, I began drinking 1 tsp "DE" per glass of water per day. Today, I brushed my hand against my cheek and noticed a difference. It was velvety soft. After peering in the mirror I saw that the pores in my face had closed. My skin appeared moist and supple. At 61 years old I can tell you this is not usually the case. I also read that "DE" detoxifies the body. If that is true, I've just found a gold mine. I've been spending big dollars on a popular detox program. Nature's Wisdom you have just killed three birds with one stone for me. From now on, it's Diatomaceous Earth. Thank you so much. I am one happy customer."

Client ProductPerk Up Your Plants!You’re worthless without your morning cuppa Joe, but “the best part of wakin’ up” can be a serious perk for your plants as well. Don’t pour your stale coffee down the drain - put it to good use by feeding it to your flowers! Acid loving plants, like spider plants, roses, and hydrangeas, thrive on all of the nutrients coffee has to offer. Seriously, who knew

Folgers was such a good source of potassium for your plants?

Coffee is chock-full of flower-friendly nutrients like calcium, nitrogen, phosphorous, and other minerals. But not all plants

can digest its acidic quality. Most herbs and indoor plants are perfectly suitable - but do your research before you spray! If your garden happens to host a variety of non acid-loving fauna, you can still mix coffee grounds with the soil to give them a little extra boost of flower-power (so to speak).

To make your coffee mixture, simply brew a normal pot of coffee and dilute it with 1 ½ parts water. For example, if you have 1 cup of coffee left over, mix it with 1 ½ cups of water. Your plants like their coffee black - so don’t try to feed them any coffee that has been mixed with sugar or cream. Add your coffee/water solution to a spray bottle and spray your plants once a week with the mixture. But beware: even acid-loving plants can only take so much - so spray sparingly and water as normal throughout the week. When it comes to coffee and your flowers, less is more! Start small and increase the dosage each week, then evaluate how your plants respond. Before long, your plants and flowers will be fuller, stronger, and live longer than ever before! Talk about a perk.

Jerry's Key to Success...A young comedian recently found himself standing backstage at a club where Jerry Seinfeld was performing. After the show, he gathered up enough nerve to ask the comic icon for his key to success. But what he received was something entirely unexpected - a lesson in procrastination. Seinfeld advised the burgeoning comic to “write every day, no matter what.” He told him to get a big wall calendar, the kind that shows the entire year on one page, and a magic marker. Every day that the young comic took the time to write, he was

instructed to put a big X through that day on the calendar. “After a few days, you’ll have a chain,” Seinfeld explained. “Just keep at it and the chain will grow longer every day. You’ll like seeing that chain, especially when you get a few weeks under your belt.

Your only job is to not break the chain.” And thus the Seinfeld Strategy was born.

The strategy works because it focuses on progress, not results. It doesn’t

matter how you feel, how well you work, or how impressive the outcome - it only matters that you don’t break that chain. So head to your local office supply store, pick up a calendar (they run less than $10), and apply the Seinfeld Strategy to your own life - you’ll be surprised

by how far you get!
