NY Noteworthy News | The Pink Orange Offers Plantable Paper

Congratulations to Rebecca Ashby, of The Pink Orange, for going above & beyond when it comes to 'Going Green' & for the launch of the Blog!

 With the ongoing awareness of green products, The Pink Orange has been on the lookout for plantable paper. Let´s face it, we all want gorgeous wedding invitations, baby announcements or everyday cards, but wouldn´t they be even more gorgeous if each job was designed on recycled paper?

The Pink Orange has put a lot of effort into making sure that all the paper that is used on custom jobs is eco-friendly paper. Now, they have found something to even top that! Plantable paper! How much better can you get than planting your invitation?

This past year alone, a handful of brides have asked Rebecca about this paper for their custom designs & so the search began. At the National Stationary Show this past May, The Pink Orange found a company that makes their own plantable paper. Each sheet is created crafted by hand & comes in a beautiful array of colors that work well letterpressed, engraved or simple offset printing.

Visit Greenfield Paper Company for more information.

Vermont Noteworthy News | Jivana Holistic Spa

 The staff at Jivana Holistic Spa recently participated in a 4 day with Kim Collier, of Jamu Asian Spa Rituals. They learned the 75 minute Balinese Massage with the range of organic JAMU oils. JAMU means "herbal healing" in the Indonesian language. The client choses the scent tradition which appeals to them (hard to choose!) Offered are: Bali Flowers (Calming, Ylang Ylang); Island Fruits (Energizing Citrus); Ginger Spice (Warming and Purifying) Thai Lemongrass (Detoxifying) Jasmine Frangipani (Enchanting, Romantic) Coconilla ("Beach in a Bottle" Coconut Vanilla). There are also full body treatments including exfoliations, and body wraps. The most beautiful treatment they learned is the Javanese Lulur, the royal spa ritual from the 17th century palace traditions of Java. Traditionally, the bride-to-be would experience this treatment every day for 40 days prior her wedding to "sweeten the skin" with the intoxicating scents of Jasmine and Frangipani. The two hour complete ritual begins with a Balinese Massage and continues with the traditional full body "lulur" scrub, an ancient recipe of rice, tumeric, yogurt and jasmine perfume. The body is wrapped in the lulur scrub on our heated "Soft Pack" table where the bride-to-be floats in total relaxation for 25 minutes.
