It’s crazy how many old cell phones and chargers most people have sitting around the house. I have a huge drawer in my office filled with nothing but cell phones and phone accessories. There must be at least six – and a couple of chargers for each of them. And a car charger or two. And some old PDA’s, too, now that I’m thinking about it. I’d love to get rid of all that stuff – but I never really had a clue of what to do with all of it. It’s not like I’m going to toss a bunch of cell phones in the garbage can.
Did you know you can drop all your old cell phones, pagers, PDAs, chargers and other communications accessories at any Staples
store? They’ll recycle them and better still, they’ll donate a portion of proceeds to the Sierra Club
.
Clean your house – help green the planet! How great is that!

Even though we’re in the midst of non-stop winter weather, there is a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. By mid-January the days become noticeably longer – and it’s actually time to start thinking about the spring garden.
First step – order your spring bulbs and specialty annuals. Take advantage of pre-season pricing.
And enjoy a much fuller selection. Exotic items are available only in limited supply, so when it comes to gardening it really is true that the early bird gets the worm.
Early shopping also means early delivery and savvy gardeners know that early indoor forcing can give you a huge head start on next season’s spectactular!

Lower price. Fewer calories. Fewer chemicals. Fewer additives. No artificial colors. Lower sodium. No cans or bottles means less work – less shopping, less schleppping, less garbage. And a decreased carbon footprint. Sounds good, doesn’t it? It’s possible. You can enjoy less expensive, healthier soft drinks and live a more eco-friendly lifestyle AND it’s less work for you! Yes, it’s possible.
With a Soda-Club Home Soda Maker
. Sleek and stylish, the home soda maker is a countertop appliance about the size of a coffeemaker that transforms water into fresh, fizzy seltzer/sparkling water at the push of a button. Soda makers operate without batteries, electricity or plumbing. Making seltzer and soda takes just seconds and requires no clean-up. A reusable, one-liter carbonating bottle (provided by Soda-Club) is filled with water and screwed into the machine fitting. A CO2 carbonator, housed inside the soda maker, adds carbonation at the touch of a button – as much or as little carbonation as you prefer. After carbonating the water, you can add one of over 25 different Soda-Club
sodamix flavors to make your favorite, great-tasting soda. Or add a splash of your favorite fresh juice for a completely natural sparkling beverage.
Sugar free flavors are available. As are low-sodium selections and energy drink formulas. All Soda-Club flavor syrups are certified Kosher.

Start laying in your supplies early. Between the holidays falling mid-week and the terrible weather just about everywhere – don’t go out for your groceries and other household essentials – have them brought to you.
Depending on where you live, you probably have a variety of choices for delivery. Check it out – if you’re a home grocery delivery novice, you can even usually save some money on your first order.
And if you’ve experienced the wonder of grocery delivery services before, then you know first hand how wonderful it is to have everything delivered right to your kitchen counter! Grocery delivery is an especially good idea for anything big, bulky and heavy. From soda and mixers to cleaning supplies and laundry detergent – you don’t even need to bring it in from the car. You don’t need to do a thing.
To be honest, I was dubious in the beginning and tended to order only pre-packaged food items. I live in a Peapod 
service area and I’ve got to tell you that once I tried ordering produce and other fresh items, I was hooked. I’m picky and even the tomotoes and peaches were just as good if not better than those I would have selected myself. I’ve even ordered fresh meat and fish and been happy every single time.
So stay home, log on, pick your delivery time and load up your shopping cart. I like to schedule an early morning delivery, around the time I’m about to pour my second cup of coffee. That way – by the time I’ve finished my second cup, everything is put away and what would have been a two-hour marathon trip to the supermarket is already off my list for the day!
Love that!

This time of year, even those of us who have not been diagnosed with a seasonal disorder can find the short, dark days a bit depressing. It’s just hard to keep your energy up when it’s so dreary outside and the daylight is gone so quickly. One great way to make to most of the available light is to add a decorative mirror across from any window.
The light will reflect back into the room and your home will be that much brighter and cheerier.

There’s no two ways around it – my master bedroom is cold. Cold. Cold. Cold. No matter how warm I keep the rest of the house. No matter how well I adjust all the louvers. No matter how high I run the ceiling fans. No matter what I do, that room is cold. Last year I used a space heater. And I also considered just adding some electric radiators along the wall. I’ve come to my senses.
I don’t need a space heater. I don’t need a radiator. I need an electric fireplace. No fuss. No muss. No installation. Instant warmth!
Perfect!!!!

My recent travels included a long weekend in Southern California and we all know what that means. Hours and hours and hours on the freeway. Way too many hours. LAX. Palm Springs. Joshua Tree. Beverly Hills. Orange County. Santa Monica. San Diego. Lots of road time. I don’t know how people do it every day!
I did everything I could to make the most of those long hours. And it reallly wasn’t that hard. There were frequent stops at Starbucks
, of course. But it was the wonderful reading material that really made it easy. And fun.
A couple clicks of the mouse and I had all the reading material I needed to make the hours on the road fly by! And best of all with downloadable audiobooks from iTunes
, I had no added baggage and nothing to forget or leave behind in the hotel room or rental car. Instead of dreading each leg of my journey, I actually found myself looking forward to hopping back in the car so that I could get back to my vacation reading!
Love that!
Downloadable audiobooks would also be a great idea for a long flight or anyone who commutes daily by bus or train.

One of the easiest ways to go green is to make a small investment in an organic cotton shopping bag. It folds up and takes up little room in your handbag and over the course of a year you alone can be responsible for HUNDREDS and maybe even THOUSANDS fewer plastic bags on the planet.
The only downside – some of those shopping bags are really ugly. Problem solve. Opt for the Dot Tote 
from Fossil.com 
. At $20 it’s a small investment in a greener future for all of us. And it’s totally cute, too!

I admit it. I’m done with my CD’s. It’s just too much work. I have my music on my iPod and iPhone. I have a docking station and I can also hook either device directly to the stereo at home or in my car. I haven’t listened to a CD in months. In fact, the only time I touch any of my CD’s is when I want to import them into iTunes or lend them to a friend who wants to the same. I’m over it. I don’t need them anymore. I’m done.
And now that I’m ready to let go…. Wanna know what I’m going to do next? I’m going to clean house and clean up. I’m going to sell all my old and unwanted CD’s. I plan on translating the cash I get into downloads of songs and albums I’ve always wanted. Less clutter and more music. What could be better?

Wouldn’t it be great if you could eliminate all the unwanted junk mail that you receive every day? You can block spam e-mails easily, but it can be really hard to get all those catalogs and free credit card offers to stop filling your mail box. Yesterday I actually received THREE offers for the same credit card. No wonder the airlines are going broke – they spend like $1 every single day just trying to get me to sign up for a credit card I already have! OY!
Well here’s a way to stop the insanity. GreenDimes.com 
stops your entire household’s junk mail and plants 10 trees on your behalf for $20. They also offer you the choice to remove only the catalogs you don’t want. You can help improve the environment by stopping the mail you don’t want to receive in the first place. The impact of this is huge. In just over a year of operation, they’ve stopped 3 million pounds of junk mail and saved/planted 1,000,000 trees. They have over 75,000 happy members and have gotten a ton of press – NY Times, Ellen, Good Morning America to name a few. 1st 5 million who sign up for Free also get a free issue of Plenty mag from greendimes.com

Yes, it’s true. Peanut has turned seven. And you’ll never guess what she requested for her gift. Converse. An average pair of kicks won’t do for this pint sized fashionista. She wants to design her own pair. And she shall.
She can pick the materials, colors, trimmings and more. It’s fun, fast and super easy – and it’s a great activity for us to do together. When we’re done, she’ll have a pair of sneakers that are as unique as she is.

What would you say if you found out you could eat delicious gourmet meals at home, without the work? Sounds good. What if you could just heat those meals in your microwave and be dining on a delicious dinner in minutes? Sounds good, too. And what if those meals were healthy and nutritious? And what if you could create those meals to your own personal tastes – choosing your entree, vegetables and side dishes and exactly how your food is prepared? Sounds phenomenal, doesn’t it? And we’re not just talking broiled versus roasted, here. We’re talking about gourmet meals to suit just about any dietary restrictions or style preference. Diabetic meals. Meals for kids. Pregnancy meals. Low carb meals. Low sodium meals. Healthy meals. Meals to promote weight loss. And all of them are chef-prepared gourmet meals. Dine wisely with DineWise
It’s all possible – and for far less than you’d think it would cost. Especially when you can get as many as 12 meals for free with your purchase. That’s right – you many never cook again!
The gift of a delicious meal is the perfect thing for anyone who’s in the process of moving, having a new baby or going through another big life cycle event. If you’re too far away to bring over something you’ve cooked yourself, sending a heat and eat gourmet meal is the next best thing.
