I read about Singtex Industrial’s use of used coffee grounds to create a sustainable fibre that is absolutely smart and highly durable. The yarn created from the grounds is turned into S.Cafe tm fabrics.

Products Straight from the “Shark Tank”
October 23, 2009

I’m a major fan of Shark Tank on ABC (Watch on here on Hulu.com) and on a recent episode I took interest in three of the product lines brought before the “sharks” for the purpose of investment. Click on the logos for more information about each product. And for the record, Robert and Barbara are my faves but Kevin and Daymond provide a lot of laughs.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Food
October 23, 2009
Every week (or so) I’ll spotlight foodies who treat food right and defend the cause of cooking unlike me. This week I’ve chosen Irene, Alton Brown and Ted Allen.
Don’t You Love a Great Robe?
October 20, 2009
I nest in the winter and comfort is paramount. One of my favorite and necessary pieces of clothing is a great robe to slip into after a bath or shower. The construction of the robe has to allow me to move effortlessly, feel cozy and not frumpy and make me feel secure should I decide to curl up on the sofa. Most of all, I need a robe that makes me feel warm. I looove these…
Can’t decide on the chocolate or the garnet.
This robe is not on my radar or a consideration but God bless the woman who can afford it. (Do you think it can be monogrammed? Or come with four men named Roberto who will answer at your beck and call?!)
Prep Your Skin for Winter
October 20, 2009

If you live in cold weather areas, you know the effects bitter winds, snow and freezing temperatures have on your face and body skin. Summer leaves its own mark on skin too, so I believe it’s imperative to prep the skin for climate changes. One of the beauties of taking care of your skin in the winter is that when the weather breaks you can look and feel absolutely radiant and ready.
- Splurge on a day spa trip for professional services such as facials, body exfoliation, and detox treatments
- Increase your water intake
- Ramp up aerobic exercise that produces sweat
- Wear a sunscreen in the winter and use a moisturizer that serves as a shield from harsh, cold wind and air
- Buy a sugar scrub and exfoliate in your shower at least once a week
- Massage oil into your skin – I use soy and olive oils and will use argan mixed with Vitamin E this winter
- Use a soft sisal or loofah to gently exfoliate every time you shower or bathe
