Best homemade lip exfoliant.

All you need is a teaspoon of honey and sugar!

Simply pucker up and dip your lips onto the honey spoon. Then give the sugar spoon a little kiss. You now have honey and sugar coated lips! Rub them together (not too hard), then lick off the excess. You lips should feel a whole lot softer, and your sweet tooth might be satisfied too! You can always repeat for extra exfoliation.

I love this quick and easy itchy/dry lip fix. Takes no time at all either.

Incinerator Rock Beach, Tofino, BC, Canada.

One of the most beautiful places on this planet.

From the 5th annual Tofino trip, May 5th, 2012.

Every time it’s hard to get up and out of bed, I blame it.

Every time my body hurts, I blame it.

Every time I’m overcome with sadness, or anger, I blame it.

Every time I thinks about it, I blame myself.

A month away is looking like a good idea right about now…

This should help the bad mood AND the studying.

I swear if I hear one more person say they are done exams…*punch*

do it.

Toronto becomes first city to mandate green roofs

Toronto is the first city in North America with a bylaw that requires roofs to be green. And we’re not talking about paint. A green roof, also known as a living roof, uses various hardy plants to create a barrier between the sun’s rays and the tiles or shingles of the roof. The plants love the sun, and the building (and its inhabitants) enjoy more comfortable indoor temperatures as a result.

Toronto’s new legislation will require all residential, commercial and institutional buildings over 2,000 square meters to have between 20 and 60 percent living roofs. Although it’s been in place since early 2010, the bylaw will apply to new industrial development as of April 30, 2012. While this is the first city-wide mandate involving green roofs, Toronto’s decision follow’s in the footsteps of other cities, like Chicago and New York.

Under the direction of Mayor Richard Daley the city of Chicago put a 38,800 square foot green roof on a 12 story skyscraper in 2000. Twelve years later, that building now saves $5000 annually on utility bills, and Chicago boasts 7 million square feet of green roof space. New York has followed suit, and since planting a green roof on the Con Edison Learning Centre in Queens, the buildings managers have seen a 34 percent reduction of heat loss in winter, and reduced summer heat gain by 84 percent.

But lower utility bills aren’t the only benefit of planting a living roof. In addition to cooling down the city, green roofs create cleaner air, cleaner water, and provide a peaceful oasis for people, birds and insects in an otherwise polluted, concrete and asphalt-covered environment.

I love this!!!
