Many things you can do with Matcha (green tea powder). :
*put a little in your smoothy for extra health benefits and energy
*make a facial:  just about a teaspoon of Matcha and a little water to make a paste then spread onto face, let dry, and then wash off. It's has lots of antioxidants to combat the sign of aging, its good for sensitive skin, and it reduces inflammation.
*put a little in with your rice as it cooks (either in rice cooker or pot) and you will have a subtle green tea flavor and healthy rice too.
*and so many recipes... Check out my recipe pages (top) to find a few.

We just got the ladybugs we ordered today (live: 1,500 of them). We have a house all set up for them. We just released them and they are loving it. Hopefully they will take care of any unwanted pests in our garden. Here is a photo of part of the house just after we released them.
