Hippie kids!

Hello everyone, I hope you had a wonderful holiday and I wish you all a happy new year!

I always say that you are never to young for tie dye. So, I have recently added children's t-shirts to my tie dye line at the Rainbow Hippie Tie Dye Emporium. They range in size from small to large, and all of them cost $11. The shirts are Jerzees brand 50/50 polyester/cotton blend, and the dyes I use are Jacquard brand. Look at the pictures of them below. If you see one that would be great for your little hippie, you can pick it up at

Wow, it's been a while.

Sorry that I have taken so long to update this blog. I've been super busy with school and work. Anyway, I have added new items to both of my shops. Here are my new braid wraps and tie dyes!

The first two items are from my Dreamwick Candles shop.

1. Deerskin braid wraps. I love to dance at powwows, and one of my favorite parts of my outfit is my braid wraps. On occasion, I even wear them when I'm oing everday things like going to class and shopping. I was looking at a pair of braid wraps that I bought at a powwow years ago, and I thought, I could probably make these! So, I went to a powwow a couple of weeks ago, bought some deerskin, and here they are!

The braid wraps are $10.85(pair of two) and are availible at

Cups and pads and tampons, oh my!

Here is a little warning: if you are squemish about body functions please hit your back button now.




Still here? Good. As you know, I am making an effort to 'go green' as much as possible. I was reading some of the 'green' websites and I found out that one of the biggest ways that we women contributed to waste and landfills is through using disposable pads and tampons during our periods. Then I heard about these things called menstrual cups. They are small bell shaped devices that sit in the vagina(like a tampon), but instead of absorbing the flow, They collect it. Cups are made out of two different materials: natural rubber(the Keeper) and silicone for those with latex allergies(DivaCup,Mooncup UK, Moon cup by Keeper, ect). After reading a lot of reviews from women on various blogs and sites, I decided to order the silicone Moon cup by Keeper(the only one made in the USA) and it arrived today. While I haven't had the chance to try it yet, I can tell you that the cup is very flexible and most women say that they cannot feel it at all once it's in. Best of all, They are reusuable, can last up to 10 years with proper care, and can be left in for up to 12 hours( there has NEVER been a case of TSS associated with cup use).

If you are interested in learning more about cups here are two great websites.
http://www.mooncup.com/
The moon cup by Keeper.
http://community.livejournal.com/menstrual_cups/
A great resource with tons of info on all the different cup styles and brands.

Now I will feature Etsy products that can help you 'go green' during your period including cloth pads and cup assesories.

1) If menstrual cups are not your thing but you still want to get away from disposable pads, then cloth menstrual pads may be just the thing. Cloth pads come in all sizes and absorbancies. The best part is that a lot of them are mae out of fun,funky cloth.

This is a set of four cloth pads made from fleece and cotton. The set consists of one 11 inch overnight pad, 2 medium pads, and one light pad. All of the cloth is vegan friendly. They have a waterproof layer to help prevent leaks.

2) Purple cloth pad.
This pad is made from flannel and has organic bamboo batting in it's center to make it more absorbant. It is for regular flow and has a pretty pruple color. $6.60 from Randumosity at

3) Menstrual cup bag.

Made from 100% cotton in a cute ice cream cone shape, it's fun and discreet. $11.99 from plasticcupcake at http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26806128&ref=sr_gallery_4&&ga_search_query=menstrual+cup+bag&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=2&order=date_desc&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title
