Lifefactory Glass Bottles
January 21st, 2012
I got my first Lifefactory bottle more than a year ago and I love it. Silicone wrapped around a glass drinking container, Lifefactory bottles were initially created as baby bottles. They are now made in different sizes, colors and styles to meet the demands of most lifestyles.
Styles
There are 9 and 14 ounce baby bottles, Flip Cap lids and Classic twist-off lids in 9 ounce for toddlers or 16 and 22 ounce bottles for adults. Sippy tops for the toddlers and silicone teethers are also available in assorted colors.
No matter your age or life mission, there’s probably a Lifefactory bottle to suit your needs and your lifestyle.

Bead for Life is a non-profit organization that pays women in Uganda fair trade prices to make beads from recycled paper.
The women make a better life for themselves and their families and are able to buy the things they need to raise their quality of life. Bead for Life is eradicating poverty, one bead at a time.
You can host a BeadParty, teach the BeadforLife curriculum for Youth and sign up for the BeadforLife Newsletter.
Taza Chocolate
October 2nd, 2010
What is this is
Taza Stone Ground Organic Chocolate is one of the best chocolates I’ve ever had. I guess it’s true when they say the stone ground aspect makes the difference in taste. It preserves more of the natural flavor of the cacao. This chocolate is also Direct Trade, ethical and organic.
My experience
I actually felt a little heady after eating this. It has a very unusual flavor. It’s really indescribable. I wouldn’t say it was a richer chocolate flavor, it was definitely bold and the texture was almost crystalline while enjoying it. You’re just going to have to try it for yourself. It smells enticing too.

Is Our Water System Keeping Water from Mother Earth?
August 12th, 2010
Don’t you love our water system? Turn on the faucet, brush your teeth, the water and plaque go down the drain and you don’t have to think about it again. And don’t we all love indoor plumbing? No more midnight trips to the outhouse. But have we ever thought about how it might affect the earth to keep its water contained in plastic tubes instead of coursing through the earth as blood courses through our veins?
Water is the lifeblood of the earth. Think about it.
I thought about it the other day and wondered what affect it’s having and what we can do about it. I love the way the water system works and I don’t know if our society could survive without it but are we harming the earth, the plants and animals and ultimately ourselves? Hmmm, there has to be a solution. If the Universe saw fit to bring this to my conscious awareness that means several things:
- other people are thinking about it too
- it is an issue that needs to be addressed
- it’s solvable
- if the solution doesn’t exist already, someone is about to invent it.
Let’s ponder this and expect a solution.
