- Product Review - I was thrilled to hear from Eric Burk, co-founder and CEO of the Keep Tight company (based in Castle Pines, CO – US) with the opportunity to review their fantastic hoodie. Keep Tight specializes in fitness and health clothing for women who are hardcore fitness enthusiasts. They produce high quality, comfortable clothing using cutting edge technologies and fabrics. Eric and his wife Melanie, began this business together based on their own experiences with clothing that had inadequate support, were unflattering, dysfunctional, and clothes that contribute to chafing, rubbing or bouncing.   I was sent a confirmation of the product order by the support team on June 18 sent via FedEx and was told it would take about 3 days to arrive - it arrived in 4 business days. KeepTight IronFleece Performance Hoodie I received was “nebula grey and pink” but also comes in black and pink. It has a retail price of  $79.99 (US). Eric was right on top of things a...

-- Quote of the Day --    "We live in an ocean of air like fish in a body of water. By our breathing we are attuned to our atmosphere. If we inhibit our breathing we isolate ourselves from the medium in which we exist. In all Oriental and mystic philosophies, the breath holds the secret to the highest bliss." ~ Alexander Lowen Award-winning authors Dave and Lillian Brummet: http://www.twitter.com/brummet http://www.facebook.com/ lillian.brummet   http://www.linkedin.com/in/ ldbrummet http://www. consciousdiscussions.blogspot. com https://plus.google.com/u/0/ 110939008901230737529

Water conservation ... I thought it would be interesting to start a discussion on what people are doing to conserve water at home or at work. I posted the following on a local FaceBook group for our valley and had some great responses from people offering tips on what they do... I won't share names for privacy issues nor quote from them, but I will share their tips. I would like to encourage our readers to also share what they are doing here via the comment section and to also share this post online so that more people will be inspired to conserve this precious resource. So here is what I posted originally: I've been keeping a bowl handy for when doing everyday sink activities from washing hands to rinsing veggies - taking that water and dumping over the deck or front door on plants & or lawn, depending on where I "watered" last and what needs it most. I do the same thing with a bucket, for when I've washed floors or something... of cour se I ...

-- Product Review -- I was so excited to have the opportunity to review yet another Vita Sciences (based in Airmont, NY, US) product! Their Maxasorb B 12 serum arrived in small cardboard envelope, and encased in a white and blue paperboard, perfectly sized box, with no additional and unnecessary packaging. Of course I had to try it right away… the serum has a slight odor, similar to the stuff dentists use to clean teeth; it is pink in color, and absorbs in seconds without residue on the skin or a greasy feeling like some creams and serums leave behind. * There are 30 doses per tube. One “dose” = 2 full pumps, rub onto skin once per day or as needed.  Store at 55-86˚ F. I have occasional flare-ups of eczema and had a flare up just before receiving this serum, so I was using the traditional cortisone twice when the itching and raised skin became unbearable and the natural remedies I’ve learned of to use at home including avoiding pu...

-- Product Review --  I first heard from Crystal (with the Paw2Paw company) on June 11 th regarding their Professional Dog Nail Clippers as a potential review project and the product arrived by Jun3 20 th .  My initial impressions were that it was quite interesting that Paw2Paw stands by its products 100% and ensures their customers complete satisfaction. Also, between communications with Crystal and her co-worker, Kailani (customer service representative), I felt the company has really good communication skills and the response time to questions is respectable.   Before the trimmers arrived I was sent some great tips for trimming pets claws/nails, which I decided to include in this review for those of you who are new to the trimming process: 1. Cut a little bit at a time: By cutting a little bit at a time you will keep your dog calmer and it ensures that you do not cut too short. This is also the best way to cut black nails. ...
