Food & Health Documentaries
I watched this on netflix instant play…
I believe we need to make our own choices about food. I also believe that if you are unaware of your choices its hard to make the right ones. The way soda, sugar cereals and fast food are presented to the public, would make one assume that it was in fact food. The way “fake food” is presented to children is really a disservice to our human race. Commercials and advertisements want children, and everyone for that matter, to believe soda will make them happy and sugar packed, artificially colored cereal will give them great energy.
One step we can take is educating ourselves about food. We can watch documentaries like this and read about food. We can go to a farmers market and simply admire all of the beautiful produce. Then we can take our knowledge and feed ourselves as we see fit. I love having the freedom to choose what I eat and having the understanding of why I chose those foods.

Sleep Soundly

Sleep
This is a sound machine. I never knew that I could sleep better with this machine. Now I can’t imagine how quiet it would be without it. The nice steamlined hummm is what makes it so comforting. This particular machine is borrowed but we are definitely going to invest in one for ourselves!
BPA In Some Sigg Water Bottles

Some Sigg Water Bottles Contain BPA
This is an old article my husband found and forwarded me yesterday. Sigg is not doing the exchange program anymore.
After years of denying their “green” water bottles contained BPA the CEO of Sigg, a Swiss company, has admitted these bottles do in fact contain BPA after all. Sigg has an exchange program allowing you to send in Sigg bottles with the former BPA liner in exchange for their new EcoCare liner which they claim to be free of BPA.

They say that the rust color liners do in fact contain BPA and they “claim” that their new liners are BPA free. What I feel like doing is learning how to blow my own glass and make my own glass water bottle.
Here is an alternative my husband heard about. They say there is no BPA in their water bottles. Kleen Kanteen

Closet Organization
I need organization in my life. I have peace when there is order. I also like things around me being bright and fun:} This goes for every part of my home including my closet. I was so tired of looking at my hangers that were a hodge-podge of colors and sizes.
I decided to go to the container store for some ideas. I found a big box of all pink and green hangers {there were other colors as well}. I switched the hangers and donated my old ones.
Now my closet feels more fun, bright and peaceful:} Thank you container store for actually having fun and bright colors!
