Cards for Causes
Thanks to Andrew Nordquist for this recommendation. According to the website: Cards for Causes was founded in order to help support worthy causes by offering hundreds of holiday, all occasion cards and invitations where 20% of every card purchase is donated by us to the nonprofit cause of the customer's choice. That's pretty awesome. If [...]
Magnetic chalkboards
Strolling about at Saturday Market in Portland I ran across these totally awesome magnetic chalkboards. The surface is magnetic--which is how it holds the cute little heart magnet and chalk holder--and you can write on it with chalk. Fabulous idea. And to add the whipped cream and cherry, many of these boards are sporting positive messages. [...]
Vodafone internet key
For travelers who want or need access to the internet, extended vacations can be challenging. At 1 or 2 Euro per hour, internet cafes can be expensive for work applications, and things like streaming video aren't really practical. If you're looking for a way to stay connected on a long trip, without totally breaking the bank, I recommend the [...]
Replenishing Lip Balm by Burt’s Bees
A good lip balm is hard to find. Replenishing Lip Balm with pomegranate oil by Burt's Bees is one of my favorites. It actually keeps lips moisturized. Mine sure are a lot less chapped since I've been using it. And it smells good. And there's just a hint of color in it--just a hint. I like it so much I have some in 4 places: my bathroom, my [...]
Food dehydrator
One of my favorite kitchen appliances is my food dehydrator. Need a healthy snack? Cut up some fruits and make whole-fruit leather. Apples, bananas, apricots, peaches, mangoes and pineapple make fantastic dried fruit. Or, if you want to treat your pooch, cut up some sweet potatoes, drizzle with Vitamin E oil, and you have fantastic, [...]
Flip video camera
We got a Flip video camera several months ago - a Mino HD. It fits in your purse (or your pocket), is very easy to use AND it comes with it's own editing software - which is loaded on the camera so you can edit your movies on your computer or on grandma's. LOVE it! The flip part? It's the built-in USB that flips out at the touch of a [...]
Xylitol gum
Xylitol is a sweetener that has been used as an alternative for diabetics. It's also been shown to fights cavities, battle bacteria, and increase bone density. What do you do with such a sweetener? Why, put it in gum, of course! The type of xylitol gum I chew is B fresh. It's Kosher, Vegan and Gluten and Soy free. I especially [...]
Teething Bling
Curious babies love to pull and chew on necklaces, bracelets and anything else within their grasp. Rather than go jewel-less, Smart Mom created an amazing compromise: Teething Bling. Made from the same material as many teething toys, Teething Bling is non-toxic and safe to chew on and comes in several colors and patterns. Awesome.
Bob’s Red Mill
This week I made my famous cookies, converting them to wheat-free and gluten-free with two different flours from a local, Milwaukie company, Bob’s Red Mill. According to it's website: Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods produces more than 400 products, including a full line of certified gluten free products and an extensive line of certified [...]
Ode Magazine
Ode has been one of my favorite magazines for years. It's awesomeness on paper. I heart Ode. From their own website: Ode is a print and online publication about positive news, about the people and ideas that are changing our world for the better. Enough said.
