New Sustainable Post-it Note Color Collections

 

Earth Day may have come and gone but that doesn’t mean that you have to stop taking care of the environment. My girls have learned all about the three R’s at school – reuse, reduce, recycle – and they’ve been doing their part to make a difference. There are also lots of companies who have taken great strides to reduce their carbon footprint including the Post-it Brand.

The Post-it Brand has launched three new sustainable Post-it Note Color Collections made from eco-friendly materials, to help green your organization routine.

Sunwashed Pier – Cool and effortless hues

Tropic Breeze – Carefree and calm colors

Farmers Market – Lively and fresh bursts of color

Each of these color collections are made from 100% recycled paper (30% postconsumer content) with the Sunwashed Pier having a unique plant-based adhesive. This means that not only do these new Post-it Brand colors look great but they’re also great for the environment. Each 3″ x 3″ Post-It pad comes with 100 sheets each as well as their famous sticky band.

We really like these new colors! They make it so much easier to color-coordinate our schedules with each member of the family picking their favorite hue. Then when we have to leave a note up for someone or label an event on the calendar we just use their assigned color. Makes communicating and organizing so much easier.

So the next time you’re at your favorite office supply store, stock up on these new Post-it Brand Recycled Notes. You’ll be helping the environment and getting organized all at the same time!

Celebrating Easter with Jelly Belly

When we think of jelly beans we immediately think of Jelly Belly. All those wonderful flavors – cotton candy, coconut, watermelon, chocolate pudding . . . just to name a few.

Boy, Jelly Belly sure has come a long way from just jelly beans! And these brightly colored products are perfect for Easter Baskets, goody bags, and Easter Egg hunts.

We received a selection of items including pencils, pencil pouch, mini-bags of assorted Jelly Belly, Green Apple Scented Colored Bubbles, and Grape Scented Pop Up Bubbles.

The Pop Up Bubbles was pretty cool. We just had to squeeze the bottle and the wand popped up. I felt that was a great feature since my kids tend to lose those little wands. We also liked the yummy grape scent. The kids kept trying to smell the bubbles as they chased them through the yard. However, the only thing you have to be careful of is the first few times that you use it. Because the bottle is full with bubble solution, when you squeeze the bottle the solution spills over the side. Other than that, we really enjoyed the Pop Up Bubbles.

The Green Apple Scented Bubbles were pretty cool, too. It didn’t have a pop up wand but it did make a whole lot of colorful iridescent bubbles. And since the solution is non-toxic and contains no dyes it perfect for kids 3 years and older.

So whether you’re planning your Easter festivities or looking for a way to celebrate National Jelly Bean Day, don’t forget to include Jelly Belly! Purchase your Jelly Belly products at Amazon.com.

Journal 10

Are you looking for a journal that holds more than a years’ worth of journaling?  Then you should check out Journal 10+.  Journal 10+ is a journal that hold 11 years worth of journaling.  The reason for the 11 years is so you can start at anytime within the year you receive it and still have 10 years worth of journaling.

I am excited about this journal.  I will be giving this copy to my little girl who is 8.  I am planning on giving her this book as a Christmas gift.  I can’t wait to see year after year how exciting it will be for her to see what she did on a certain day each year for 10 years.  That is one of the best features of this journal.  You will have 10 years on one page.  She will be 18 when she finishes writing in this journal.

Journal 10+ only comes in a forest green leatherette cover because that way it is cheaper for us as consumers to purchase.  It also allows the company to make more copies without having to worry about how many copies of each color they would need.  I think that is a really great idea.  Plus if you want to personalize it you can always add stickers to it.  I am sure my little girl will.

Now let’s talk about some of the awesome features of this journal.

• There is a 12 year calendar in the front of the book.  This is helpful for those who like to plan ahead each year.  I know that is one thing I always like to have at hand.
• There is a Looking Ahead section that allows you to write down goals and your accomplishments.
• There is the day of the year on one page for 11 years.  Which is my favorite thing because you can see all of what happened on one day for 11 years.
• There are 2 ribbons to use as book marks.
• There is  blank bonus pages.  You can write any extra thoughts on it.
• There are carry-over pages so you can continue to write for a certain day if you did not have enough room on your journaling day.
• There is an address page.
• There is a medical page.
• There is also a page so you won’t forget special occasions.

So this is a journal, address book and date keeping book all rolled into one.  You won’t have to search around for more than one book because you will have it all with this book.

If you are looking for a great gift for Christmas Journal 10+ is perfect.  It will be just in time for the new year to start.

You can purchase Journal 10+ 2012-2022 online for $39.95 here.  The edition starts January 1, 2012 and standard shipping is free.

Meeble Mail- Whimsical, Charming, and Elegant

A desk jockey by day and an email/ social media junkie by night, my computer is truly my best friend. Quoting the famous words of my mother, “my friends live in my computer” it seems as if I live and breathe email.

Meeble Mail is such a unique product and is so fun to use. There are lots of designs and styles to choose from and offer customized footer and/or headers. It transforms emails from boring to whimsical, artsy, charming, elegant and the list goes on. As my friend who received one of my “Meeble Mail’s” said, “it made your email so personalized, as if I were receiving a special piece of stationary just from you.”

Meeble Mail is intuitive however I did have a couple technological difficulties. I quickly looked for the help button that easy to locate and I submitted a helpdesk ticket. Within minutes, I received an email from a friendly technician who immediately started trouble shooting my issue. We were not able to solve the issue (because I did not know what kind of server I was using) so she arranged a time to call me personally. The assistance was friendly, patient, and helpful. Within no time, my challenge was solved and I downloading the designs I purchased.

I purchased two designs. The first was totally “my style” feminine and antique. It featured a picture of a vintage looking bird and elegant swirls. I love birds because they remind me of my grandmother – always graceful and continuously watching over me. I sent this design to my mother with a quote from my grandmother and also to a couple friends as mentioned above.

The second style purchased was bold and featured a beautiful red fish. I purchased this with my 9 year old son’s name embossed as a header as he had just opened his very own email account.

Meeble Mail bridges the gap between a new time of efficient technology and the enduring feeling of receiving an old fashioned letter.
