In.gredients | 1st Zero Waste, Package Free Grocery Store

July 8, 2011 0

My dream grocery store is opening in Austin, Texas – in.gredients will be the first zero-waste, package free grocery store in the United States. In.gredients will offer a wide selection of dairy, oils, produce, grains, sugars, spices, wine, beer, cleaners and more – all package free. You bring your own containers, fill them up with goodies, then bring them back when you need more. You can buy as much or little as you need. Good for the environment, good for us and good for our communities. Sign me up!

I have my fingers crossed that this will catch on and that an in.gredients will open up in South Florida.

What do you think? Would you shop at in.gredients?

TESTED: Glob’s New Create your own Collage Kit

July 7, 2011 0
Eben and I had a fantastic afternoon creating our own set of collage cards using the Glob Collage Kit. The collage kit includes two mixing tins, eight handmade plantable greeting cards with wildflower seeds (envelopes included), a bamboo paintbrush, several nature inspired collage materials and four botanical paint packages including Lemon Verbena (yellow), Blueberry (blue), Pomegranate (red), and Basil (green) – all of which smell fantastic and are super fun to work with! Kids will enjoy this simple, fun project, which gives them the tools to create their own collage card masterpieces. Also, Glob Collage Kit’s would make the perfect green gift for the next kid’s birthday party you’re planning to attend. Check out how Eben and I made our greeting cards using the Glob Collage Kit.

Thrifting in July

July 7, 2011 0

Hello, Friends! How are you enjoying July? It is super rainy today – not a beach day. Instead, we are heading out for a thrifting day. Mr. Sweet Greens and Eben have their lists of treasures that they are seeking. And I am excited to check out the thrift stores in our new neck-of-the-woods + I want to pick up some “new” books for our summer library.

Do you have favorite thrift stores that you frequent? Or are you a tag sale kind of person?
What is the best thing you have ever found?

ps: I will take lots of photos for you!
