Staying cool on hot summer nights can be a challenge, especially for us temperate climate folks in the Pacific Northwest.  We often create crazy cooling rituals like opening our windows and blinds from dusk until dawn, then closing them during the heat of the day. Our homes are littered with fans and occasional window A/C units. And some of us just give up and grab our camping gear and head for the backyard or basement to try and sleep. But what most of us don’t think about is taking a bath!

A tepid bath is a great way to cool your core body temperature before bedtime and connecting with the wisdom of Mother Nature can help even further.

Of all the flips of my calendar, I think my favorite one happens this time of year. Why?  Because IT'S SPRING!!!!  Well, close enough anyway.  I absolutely love springtime.  My crocuses are croakin'.  Everywhere I look, there's the promise of new life.  And what other time of year can we experience all four seasons in a single hour?  There is an inescapable vitality in the air that inspires me out of Winter’s sleepy lull and makes me want to… CLEAN!?!  Whaaah?
