Chalkboard and tin basket from here, slate cheeseboard here. Terrain is Anthropologie's eco-friendly store with a focus on gardening, green personal care goods, furniture and some great home goods. I just ordered this cute set of mason jar salt and pepper shakers.
OK~ on to the little hemp station in my kitchen.
You'll recall that I used hemp protein powder in my hemp protein bars {here}. While pulling the recipe from Sarah's blog {My New Roots blog}, I became intrigued with the health benefits of hemp, which she describes beautifully right here. Shortly after making my protein bars and blabbering on and on about hemp protein powder and chia seeds, my hubby spotted this bag of hemp hearts at Costco and picked it up for his flower-child-wife. ☺
My oatmeal, cream of wheat, soups and salads are routinely sprinkled with a different seed each day {flax, chia, hemp}. I love the taste of each and notice I'm much more satisfied after my morning bowl of oatmeal [although, it could also be that I'm no longer running 30+ miles per week so I'm not as hungry].
I love cooking with coconut oil and grapeseed oil. I've been using grapeseed oil on my salad instead of olive oil AND I've been using it on my skin after the shower. I read that grapeseed oil is a good, all natural moisturizer for your face so I've been using this at night. 
So there you have it, more than you ever wanted to know about me I'm sure~ ha! ☺
Does anyone out there have favorite new finds ~ new stores, health foods, unusual beauty products? I'd love to hear!!

Love the metal basket! I've been adding chia bran to my oatmeal each morning too :)
Very pretty, goes great with the canisters! I actually have some coconut oil i need to use up, do you detect any coconut flavor when you cook with it?
Hi Alpha Blonde- I notice a slight hint of the coconut flavor when I cook with it but it tastes yummy to me!
How have I not know about Terrain? Love it!!
Thanks for sharing
haven't heard of terrain but excited to check it out. I just bought grape seed oil to make a lavender salt scrub. it was super easy and I loved giving it away in small mason jars. Going to post about it soon.
have a good one

Most of my friends think I'm a crazy health nut, but you've taken it to a new level! I've yet to try most of the things you shared {though I've been a grape seed oil fan for almost a decade thanks to many trips to Napa & Sonoma!}.
I just posted my new favorite product: almond oil shower oil from L'Occitane. So yummy!
xoxo,
Lins
