What does this Simple Shoes Women’s Satire Sneaker and this handmade natural Peppermint Body Bar have in common? Besides the pink swirls? Give up? They are both considered “organic”. 
The Peppermint Body Bar is only one of over a dozen handmade natural soap options available from Best Bath Store. Organic extracts, blended essential oils and natural botanicals make up various aromas, including cocoa butter, coffee, eucalyptus, evergreen, honey milk, shea butter, vanilla bean and more.
The Women’s Satire – Silk in Rosewine Sneaker with tie dye silk uppers is made with certified organic cotton linings and footbeds. The “pedbed” (the cushiony and supportive stuff at the bottom of the shoe) is made of super soft and squishy polyurethane foam and recycled rubber. The bottom of the shoe is made from recycled car tires. The foot form inserts are made of post consumer recycled paper. And th shoebox that they come in is made of post–consumer recycled paper, soy based printing ink, natural latex and starch based glue. Available from Simple Shoes, $60 with Free Shipping.
All of this “going green” talk has inspired me to start living more healthy. In fact, just this week I started recycling. And next week, I plan to attempt to make my own homemade laundry detergent.

While in Las Vegas, Squeak and I bowled at the Gold Coast – Squeak is quite the bowler! Me, on the other hand, am not. I don’t think I even broke 100. I always says I can’t be good at everything.
We posed to get a picture of us in our bowling shoes. Even though we both wear a 7.5, the shoes are obviously old and stretched out that we both ended up getting a size 7. I’m glad we remembered to bring socks as I didn’t want to put my bare foot in those well-used shoes, and it was $4 to buy a pair of socks from the vending machine.
I’ve always thought owning a pair of bowling shoes would be cool, so I set out to find some online. They are hard to come by! The only retro style bowling shoes I found were on closeout at BowlingShirt.com, and they didn’t have my size.
I did up finding a pair of bowling shoes that I did like and would wear (on a bowling league, probably not in public) in my favorite color of pink – Dexter Groove Bowling Shoes in Pink/White, available from OnlineShoes.com, $49.95 with Free Shipping. Get in the game with the Dexter Groove bowling shoe. The vintage design elements of this sleek women’s bowling shoe merge with hip modern style to create a fun look. A synthetic upper lends durability, as the classic rubber outsole accompanies you through your game. The raised heel and microfiber S8 slide soles of the Dexter Groove bowling shoe give flash and panache day or night.
P.S. Did you notice our bowling shirts from BowlingShirt.com? They are even in our favorite colors (me=pink, Squeak=red)!
