Summer invites us to take hands with her sunny, warm energy so that
our lives can be more easeful and pleasant. So we have collected a
baker‘s dozen tips and ideas to help all of us live more simply (and
succulently!) during the long, lazy days of summer.
Find out how to make the sun your ally, get some ideas on simplifying your life and enjoying the pleasures of the season, and much more. We
include a few easy warm-weather cooking suggestions and some great
keep-cool formulas, including a refreshing crop of body fresheners and
some cucumber beauty tips. It’s all right here:
Make an Ally of the Sun
1. Hang your laundry out to dry. There is simply nothing like
climbing into a bed whose clean sheets smell sweetly of sun and fresh
air. And it saves energy!
2. Wash stained items as usual and then throw them over a bush
located in full sunlight to take advantage of the sun’s natural
bleaching power (our ancestors used to dry their linens on lavender
bushes so they would be permeated with sun, fresh air, and the divine
scent of lavender.)
3. Anything musty or funky-smelling can benefit from some time in the
sun: place items where they will get the benefit of the direct
sunlight.
4. Try making Sun Tea. Children are fascinated by the sun’s power to
change things and love to get involved in this process. Simply place 1
teabag (black, green, or herbal) per pint of water in a glass container,
and leave outside in the sun to steep for an hour. Add sweetener and
fresh mint . . .
