The movement is huge! As massage therapists, we've all chosen to live our lives a little different. So, this group is to discuss and share the ways that we live green at home and in our businesses. What do you do that makes this world a "little greener"? Recycle, organic sheets, lotions, e-news, community events? Please share all information and websites so we can all make a change!

Bamboo Sheet Sets? 6 Replies

Has anyone tried these yet? I'm really pushing myself for the greater good...HOWEVER... the price of these sets are slighty absurd. So, if anyone is using them, please let me know how they're…Continue

Comment by Marissa on December 21, 2009 at 10:51am: Kate, I would absolutely love to book online. However, I rent a room in a salon (which I am greening brick by brick) and they do a lot of the scheduling for me when I am not in house or am busy with a client. Massage & Bodywork Magazine has an ad in it this round for sbFirstDay software. The web is: www.sbFirstDay.com I urge you all to look in to it. It's $49 and includes: color coded appointment book, e-mail promotion design to send to clients, customer check out, appointment reminders, reporting, product and inventory maintenance, so on and so forth. A great way for all of us in private practice to keep all our ducks in a row!

Comment by Marissa on December 19, 2009 at 12:58pm: Also, in a precious post: there are "green" paints for the walls. Organic cottons, bamboo, some massage tables are now "green". There's a ton of things you can do if you just start looking. And bugging people on here about what to do! :) I do it all the time!

Comment by Allison Boehm on December 17, 2009 at 8:04am: Hey everyone! Im new, and wanting to just get some great ideas of ways to even be green in this business. I realize recycling of course, and paperless, but what other ways do I "go green" with my space?

Comment by Marissa on December 16, 2009 at 6:47pm: So, I just placed a large order with Mountain Rose Herbs. I'm very excited to get all the new materials. All organic and fair-traded, of course. I will keep you posted on how my homemade endeavors turn out. Something new for the new year!

Comment by Marissa on December 11, 2009 at 5:29pm: Bust! Small town health food store....nothing I can really work with. Guess it will be all internet orders. Check out www.fromnaturewithlove.com

Comment by Marissa on December 11, 2009 at 10:20am: Just got a bug to go to my local health food store to try and create some organic homemade scrubs and polishes. Looking to add a few new items to my menu. Did you know that you can use Nori f/ the health food store to do seaweed wraps?

Comment by Marissa on December 11, 2009 at 10:19am: Welcome new members!

Comment by Marissa on December 10, 2009 at 8:34am: Someone responded to my discussion on the main page about the instant GCs. There is also a company spaboom.com that offers instant gift certificates and web design. Something to look into. They have a start up fee of $99 and 5% per transaction with a 2 day turn around.
