With the holidays right around the corner, I encourage you to pause a moment to consider what's best for our bodies and our planet. Folks have been asking me what they can do to go green for the holidays, and I encourage them to think about the impact their purchases are going to have.

We've got a great deal on Gift Certificates to Dandelion this year - with any $25 in gift certificates, you will get a FREE gift certificate to your choice of Shine On Yoga, The Little Green Spa, the Evolve Store or the Florida School of Holistic Living. If you purchase $50 in gift certificates, you get all of 'em. Now that's a deal! (While supplies last)

Do you own your own business?
Speaking of... we want to support our local economy with a gift certificate exchange with other local businesses. We'd like to give them as gifts to some of the coolest cats in town! If you are interested in participating, please email julie@dandelioncommunitea.com and we'll swap! Please indicate the quantity and dollar value you are comfortable exchanging as well as the nature of your business, address and contact info.

Deck the Halls of Dandelion!
"What to do, what to do?" I wondered out loud recently. You see, I have been torn about decorating the cafe for the holiday season for a number of reasons, including concern over the environmental impact of new decorations, needing to conserve financial resources and most importantly, wanting be inclusive of the many traditions that everyone in the community celebrates this time of year. Moments after I explained my conundrum, a friend offered the perfect solution: why don't you have everyone in the community bring in one used decoration? Ah HA!!! Brilliant!

So, calling all community: bring in one holiday item from your tradition that you would love to see on display at the cafe. (We'll even thank you, get a free cup of tea when you bring in yours!) If we get too many, we will donate them to a good cause. Why didn't I think of this eariler?
