People can say anything is 'natural' and just because it might be doesn't make it better. In a soap, I'm looking for hardness[is it hard? does it get all goopy in the shower?], shower fragrance[does it smell good in shower?], out of shower fragrance[does it smell good on skin?], and moisturizing and skin feel[does it make my skin feel soft? does it have ripples that feel good on skin?] I tend to gravitate away from flower scents, and towards unisex.
Note that no where on this list- which is quite extensive for a layperson, is 'naturalness'

Design Reworks
A reworked design.
Weekend deals are sucking sellers dry. BTW: you will probably get recycled packaging. You know why? Metals and gemstones and plastic are bad enough for the environment. No need to waste good paper on top of it. I try to reuse things for jewelry as well- 'junk' jewelry, older designs that I want to rework. Waste not, want not.

While everyone else is celebrating sexual love [or romantic love for you older people] over all other forms of love, helping break down the social links between people as we focus only on our own households, I'm going to talk about how we can build up our communities.
Check on senior citizens during severe weather, severe hot and cold spells, and volunteer at your senior center-
You can save lives by checking on senior citizens.
Organize in your community-
You see an injustice? Get out of bed and organize.
Spend time with your friends-
That girl that has no life but her boyfriend is really annoying. Have you been neglecting your friendships? Reconnect.
Realize that one person can't be your everything-
Your relationship can fall apart under the strain of the idea that one person must serve for all emotional needs. Don't do that to it. It's probably a fine relationship.
There's probably more, but remember- just because you're not humping someone doesn't mean it's not love. Friendships can be deeper and more profound than sexual relationships.
