Please excuse the shortest Thistle post ever. I’m sorry, but for the sake of my reputation, not to mention the fact that my parents, colleagues and ex-boyfriends are probably reading this, I simply cannot say more than:

Green as a Thistle RSS Feed- Homemade natural moisturizer = excitement! December 20, 2010Happy holidays, ye fellow bloggers and readers! I don’t even really know what “ye” means, but nevermind. I just wanted to pop up into your RSS feed/inbox/Google search/etc. for two reasons, which are completely unrelated other than a tenuous connection to Christmas. One is this: I decided to make some from-scratch holiday gifts this year, [ […]Vanessa Farquharson
- Is there any point in having a green wedding if nobody notices? October 28, 2010Yep. Me again. Creeping into the blogosphere like I tend to do these days — about once every few months, with a totally random subject of conversation, which every blogger will tell you does NOT lead to a very consistent readership. Oh well. But I thought y’all might like to know that Miss Thistle is [...]Vanessa Farquharson
- Holy crap, my city officials have a sense of humour! And they care about the environment! September 1, 2010Sometimes, this city drives me crazy — there aren’t enough bike lanes, the public transit system is a mess and we’ve even banned kite-flying in one of our parks! And yet, every now and then, Toronto gets it right. The most recent example is here below, for your viewing pleasure:Vanessa Farquharson

hm! sweetheart, oil-based anything will destroy latex condoms. and of course there are fine times for a lady to use lube that don’t involve a boy or a condom, but promoting coconut oil as a substitute for lube without mentioning that it will destroy a latex condom seems a bit unwise.
Agreed on the oil-based products. Try something water-based, like this: http://www.sylkonline.com/
Omg dahlia, you are TOTALLY right — guess I just haven’t used the latter form of contraceptive in a little while… but I’m not going to get into specifics here. But yes, and Elise makes a good point, in that there are other water-based natural alternatives that would be just as effective!
Does coconut oil count as oil? I always thought that it refered to petroleum based oils. Treehugger.com posted this a while back.

Shout outs to the STMT…
Way to take one for the cause!
While I applaud the comedy of any lube that has “extra virgin” right in the name, clean up of oil based lube is a pain. 3 days later people at the office will still be asking if you just came back from Hawaii.
hi – not got get all personal and everything… but i couldn’t resist sharing my find… my boyfriend and i have been useing these products http://www.ripnroll.com/sensua.htm by sensua organics and we love them! it has calmed my mind at the thought of all that icky stuff in my body… but this is organic so i feel better about it. good luck

According to Wikipedia, coconut oil is not good for condoms. However, there is some luscious natural lubricant developed by Lorna Vanderhaeghe which you can find here

If condoms are not an issue, I think coconut oil is great. Neither I nor my house nor my bed smells like the tropics, and who cares if it did. Plus, I love a multitasker and who doesn’t love something that is a lotion, you can cook with it, put it in smoothies etc.
