Eco Friendly Cars are Right around the Corner… Again

admin — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 00:26:48 +0000

WOW I am soooo excited! We are finally seeing electric vehicles coming back again! After wondering a few years ago why electric cars wernt around yet I watched the movie “Who Killed the Electric Car” and I found out the reason why. I wonder if now the oil companies are making batteries? Who knows? But this is really cool! I cant wait to put a solar panel on my roof and charge this new car for free!

Do you think you will be purchasing a electric car?

Picky eaters, and the not so picky eater.

admin — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 00:53:52 +0000

As a new mom, I am learning things as I go along. My baby, well, now she’s more like a toddler, is a great eater. She eats fruit and veggies everyday, as well as some complex carbs, and lean proteins. I believe she’s a great eater because she eats a balanced diet. I do find though when she gets “snacks” like crackers once in awhile, she tends to want the whole box. Which does not happen. So overall, she isn’t much of a junk food eater. It’s not available to her, so she doesn’t know any better. My husband would say out daughter isn’t much of a picky eater, but I bet if you asked him who is in our family, he would pick me. I would agree to a point with that opinion. To me, it is highly important what goes into our bodies, especially with the concern of GMI’s out there. If you are not aware of the GMI’s are, they are genetically modified ingredients. In other words, man altered ingredients, including your fruits, veggies, grains and all other foods. When I we start to think of it, and what actually it does to our food, and how my body would be able to process this, I just cannot justify it. And so, the picky eater in this family is me. We got married, it was a priority that I feed my husband the best food possible, natural, wholesome, and nutrient rich. When we found out I was expecting, it got even more serious. The best thing I can do for my family is be the picky eater, then teach our children why we eat the way we do. With education, our children will hopefully be picky eaters as adults. Not the thing most mom’s would want for their children. But when I’m not the one supplying her with her daily food, and it’s her turn, picky is the way I want her to be. Wholesome, delicious, food. In this day and age, one needs to be picky.

What is going on this winter?

admin — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 16:31:24 +0000

It’s the beginning of January, and all of December we had great, mild weather. Once it hit January though, it’s been so cold that my bones hurt when I go outside. Where I live, it’s always a nice 70 degrees during the winter months, and if we were to have a cold snap, it would be for a day or two. So far, this cold snap has lasted over a week, and I don’t mean it’s in the 60’s, it’s been in the 20’s! Unheard of for our area of the world. I have sweaters, and long sleeve shirts, but a coat, never liked them. Even when I lived up north, I never liked wearing one, but I had to up there.

Snow, now that is something I do not miss from living up north, and it was the only reason I wore a coat. But, wouldn’t you know it, they are saying we are getting snow in the next two days! It won’t stick around for long, but really?! Snow?! I’m going to have to buy some gloves if this keeps going on. A nice long vacation to the islands sound good to me right now. Bring out the sandels again, which I used to wear throughout the winter here at home. Once this weather does get back to normal for this area, I plan on going to the beach. If anything, this is making me appreciate what I do have down here. The opportunity to wear sandels when I want, shorts and a nice sweater, and not take it for granted. Oh winter weather, it’s a nice change from the heat, and it’s great for relaxing at home. There are some great things about it, and I will have to learn all about them. That is, with my layers on, and sneakers.

Organic Women’s Clothing, Look Great and Save the Planet

admin — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 04:56:49 +0000

To live an organic lifestyle, we need to reach far beyond the foods that we eat. Just as much damage is being done to the planet by growing fibers for clothing. Non-organic cotton occupies less than 3% of the world’s farmland but in terms of chemical pesticides it accounts for nearly 25% of their use.

Organic women’s clothing is a way to take a step in the right direction. You won’t sacrifice quality or comfort when you purchase organically grown products, in fact you’ll probably find that the opposite is true. One of the most important and widely used textiles in women’s clothing is cotton. Organically grown cotton produces longer fibers making it far more durable than the non-organic type. The fiber is also highly breathable making your organic women’s clothing cool and comfortable.

There are other products that can be used in the making of organic women’s clothing. Both hemp and bamboo are very popular choices. Hemp and bamboo are highly durable plants. They are naturally resistant to insects completely negating the use for chemical pesticides. They are also long lasting and can used for virtually anything. The most important factor is they are naturally grown reducing your exposure to harmful chemicals that could produce long term damage.

Looking great is possible without damaging your health or causing further damage to the planet. Consider purchasing organic women’s clothing. You’ll look great, feel great and we’ll all be healthier for it.

That time of year….

Well, i has only been a few days afer Christmas, and I find myself going over how well I did on the shopping this year. With the economy being the way it has been, I found the malls more packed than ever before with people looking for a bargain. Sure, there were some good deals, but to me, the crowds, and driving just don’t make up for all the time and hassle it takes. When I think about the gifts we did get this year for our daughter, I realize that all but one were bought online. With everyone offering free shipping, why not?! Honestly I do not want to put my little girl in and out of the car all day to see what the stores have, or don’t have. Just going online while she takes her nap is nice and easy. If they have it, great! If not, no problem, just look for that item on another website. It leaves me with more quality time with her at the park, the bookstore, and just having fun with her.

Even my after christmas sales, I almost went out to get one item at the store. Then just as I was about to go, I realized, I don’t want to fight other people for one item. I jumped on the computer, found it, bought it, and then enjoyed a great breakfast with my family. No stress, just relaxing and spending time with the people I love. Oh, how I love to shop online! Have a great and happy New Year everyone!

Making wise choices in our health

admin — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 01:10:18 +0000

I often find myself talking with other moms, dads, and even family relatives about the food we eat. I consider myself a visual person. So, when I go food shopping, I like to know where the food came from, how it was produced, what machines made the food I’m eating, or feeding my child. With that always running in my mind, I choose food as wisely as I can. Eating organic isn’t just because it’s a green thing to do. Of course it’s better for the earth, but more importantly, it’s better for our bodies. The best thing we can do is grow our own organic food. And so this is what I find myself talking about most of the time. I guess you can say it’s my passion, along with natural childbirth. I won’t go on that subject right now, but it does tie in with making a wise health choice for you and your baby. Unlike my family, I find it hard to eat out at most places. I know that everything I put into my body should be something that it can use, and that it needs to thrive and work well. Food is a wonderful thing, I love to cook, and eat. But, it must have a purpose other than to fill my stomach. What vitamins are going into those cells that need it, how can I make sure everything I eat, is for the better. Often I get into this conversations, and have wonderful feedback from everyone. But, once in awhile, I get the void look. As if I have stepped over the line, and they do not want to go there. Which I’m fine with, but I truely and honestly believe, if we were to look at food in the way of how it will benefit my body, and not just my stomach, we will feel so much better. Taking great care of our bodies by eating well, wearing clean, organic clothing, drinking lots of clean, purified water, and exercising will turn your life around for the better. As a mom, I have to make the best choices I can for my baby. That also includes taking care of me as well, so I can be around for her. Organic isn’t just a fad, or a cool thing to do right now. It is the natural, easy, and healthiest thing to do from inside and out.

Going green apparel makes a difference

admin — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 17:18:31 +0000

So, I find myself hearing people talking about going green almost everywhere I go these days. From the supermarkets, to the mall. I have always believed in taking care of the earth, while we take care of ourselves, and honestly, it’s not that hard. TV ads everywhere about solar power for our homes, lightbulbs that save energy. It’s true what they are saying, small things make a HUGE difference. One of them that make a true difference in just us buying one thing would be buying green or organic apparel. This could range from shirts, pants, even underwear. See, when buying organic clothing, you are doing more than just changing a lightbulb. You are providing the organic farmers money to keep their crops going, without the use of pesticides. A huge factor in pollution. From there you are wearing clothes that not only are good for your skin, but your entire body as well. Our skin is our largest organ, and I know most people never think of it, but it needs to be protected as well from chemicals. So, if you eat healthy by eating organic, putting organic clothing on, will also benefit you as well. If you eat organic already, you are adding to going green even more. So honestly speaking, this going green as they call it now, is just going back to the basics. Before we as people tried to make things easier, which just made them harder. Going green has never been simpler. Eat green, wear green, simple as that.

It’s that time of year!

With October behind us, the holiday season begins. This year especially seems to be different then years past. Christmas decor has been on the store shelves during Halloween. All the wrapping paper, Christmas lights, wreaths, has gotten me into the season early.

Knowing the season is right around the corner, I must start checking off my list now. The person I love the most is the hardest to buy for. He loves gagets, as men do. Problem is, I never know which ones exactly he wants, and if I do, I know they are not in my price range. So, what do most husbands need according to their wives? Good looking clothes of course. With the economy being the way that is has been for the past year, I need a deal. Free shipping is my idea of shopping on the internet. If I can get that, I can buy all my husbands wardrobe in as little as 20 minutes, and have it shipped. No lines, no wrong prices, no getting my baby in and out of the car a million times to find the right thing. Click, and it’s done. I went on my favorite site for me, and found some really nice shirts for him. He loves graphic T’s, and staying in style as much as possible. And what do you know, they have great organic mens graphic t’s! I was thrilled, so I bought 4 shirts for him. Which he should be happy about. I love that they are organic, he’ll love that they are cool with graphics on them, and I’m also thrilled I won’t have to go out and find them. I almost forgot the site I love for me, and now him, is the organicclothingboutique.com They are a cool store with everything organic, and free shipping! NO minimums! Can’t beat that. Happy shopping everyone! Let the holidays begin!

Organic Womens Cami’s

admin — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:50:24 +0000

The other day as I was about to go on my daily walk with my daughter, but was having a hard time finding something to wear for this walk. I have a few good work out clothes, but nothing is more comfortable to me than my black cami. Great support, easy to move around in, looks good with shorts, or pants, and won’t be clinging to my arms during or after the walk. Now, I cannot be the only mom out there who is picky about what tops to wear. But, after having my daughter 10 months ago, I cannot just put on any cami. It needs three things, support, but not too much, form fitting, but not where it would ride up as I walk, and a great length, but not a dress. With those in mind, I had to choose wisely. What I used to wear before having her, and what I need to wear now, are different. I used to be able to wear all those cute form fitting, tight cami’s. But, today, I need a cami to fit me in a specific way. Which made me think of a great cami I got as a mommy gift. It’s made of organic cotton, great shape, and support. My girlfriend knows I have great health on the top of my list, and for my family. So, she choose this ultra soft, supportive, but not too supportive cami for after I had my little girl. It is my favorite! I can just throw a jacket on if I need too, or just wear it as is. Which is mainly my use for it.T he thing is, this organic cotton cami can be worn for everything, including my daily four mile walks. It washes great, another plus for mommies, and is just so darn comfy! In the end, I put my organic black cami on, put my little girl in her stroller and started off on my walk. Next thing I had to do, is buy me another cami, this time, just to sleep in.
