 Highlights of this award-winning bike:
  • Made from organic biodegradable flax fibers
  • Covered with water soluble paint
  • Internal lighting in the frame (no batteries!)
  • The fenders and handle grips are made from bamboo
  • Tires made by Schwalbe (whoever that is but sounds impressive) with recyclable rubber inside
  • A 9-speed Shimano drive train (again, whatever that means but must be cool) with Schwinn custom designed components
  • Not cheap (estimated at $1200)
You can read more about it here or see more pics here.

I want these shoes:


Who doesn’t love Tom’s? These are just too cute! With these on, I’d end up taller than my hubs. Don’t think he’d mind though. ;)

And this dress:


And hmm…they (Shabby Apple) just so happens to be having a sale (20% off) going on right now through the end of July. Sweet!

I want this too:


With this next to it:


Made from cattail and reed. I just want to lounge with a refreshing beverage with a tiny umbrella next to me near the blue-green water (and not in the reeds like in the first pic)…

Okay, back to reality, er, maybe this is my online dream board. :)

For those who like to daydream too and win free stuff I have a giveaway coming up soon you'll want to check back for.


P.S. This post was not sponsored by anybody. I seriously was daydreaming about these things as I happened across them in email or elsewhere. They're fun dontcha think? Well, I think so which is why I posted this. Just for fun. Yippee!

Happy Friday! Thought I'd let someone else take the reins today and share with you an interesting topic. How Raw Diets Can Make a Difference Transitioning to a raw food diet is often thought of as only a personal choice, as a journey that one individually decides to embark on for whatever reason, whether it be ethical or health-related or some other reason entirely. But the Examiner in Sacramento suggests an interesting idea involving raw food diets that could potentially make a difference in the greater community. The social problem that the Examiner discusses is the city's increased problems with homelessness among seniors. The article reports that Sacramento has seen a sharp rise in the elderly being displaced, resulting from what many speculate the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The article goes on to posit a refreshing new idea that would offer homeless seniors both a source of sustaining and sustainable nutrition and that would also give them something rewarding ...

WEGO Health: Superpower!

Image
We’ve all daydreamed about having a superpower like superheroes, haven’t we? I mean Superman can fly, reverse time (at least, in the name of love) and is uber strong. Spiderman, well, he uses web power to fly around and catch bad guys. There are other interesting superpowers like invisibility, walking through walls, shape shifting, or reading of the mind. That last one doesn’t interest me much ever since I watched an old episode of the Twilight Zone where the character could suddenly hear everyone’s thoughts and there was no filter so it became overwhelming and noisy in his head. Um, no thanks. At certain times though, I’ve wished for the ability. Could’ve saved a lot of problems, you know? Or be a fly on the wall… * According to this list, there’s insanely rich. I never really thought of that as a superpower per se but it is one I would love to have. That superpower should just be a given. With super wealth I could share it and help so many people, go to so many causes...

The "Glow"

Image
I know I'm supposed to be working on a different post - about my trip - but wanted to interrupt that to share something else. ******** People into the raw food lifestyle are familiar with the "glow." Maybe you're one who's been told a time or two that you have the glow. It's noticeable to spot a person who obviously is taking care of themselves by what they do and put into their bodies and especially when on the raw food lifestyle. Eating raw foods allows your body to properly process and digest foods plus all the those living enzymes and minerals means less work your body has to do so the result is a beautiful youthful glow. I have received such comments, which are always great to hear but I have been hearing this more so lately. From people who don't know me to people in the raw food world. When I was at our local raw vegan sto re one of the owners we nt on about how I (and hubby too) have transformed since she first met me; that I do have a healthy glow...
