On the outside, I try to project an image of having it all together. But underneath that, I'm kind of a disaster. Hence... the name of the site: GlossyVeneer. Drinking:
I need to get a new water bottle (or two or three). I’ve been reading about the dangers of plastic a lot lately and I’ve been contemplating getting a Sigg or a Klean Kanteen instead. Anybody have experience with those and want to give me some feedback?
Sleeping:
When we bought our new bed, we bought new sheets as well. Bamboo sheets. First of all, they feel wonderful, so soft and silky. But they’re also good because bamboo is not bathed in pesticides like cotton crops are and it is quickly renewable because of the rate at which it grows. And bamboo fibers are better at helping regulate your temperature through the night and they have some natural anti-bacterial qualities as well. If you get the chance, I highly recommend them.
Bagging:
Have you heard that Whole Foods is getting rid of plastic bags? This is causing the media to question if more and more retailers will follow suit. Part of me wants to cheer and applaud this move. But part of me stops to think, “What will I use to line my bathroom garbage cans?” But I guess I need to figure that out anyway because I need to get some reusable bags to use when I go grocery shopping anyway.
Mailing:
Do you get a lot of junk catalogs? We get our fair share and most of those end up straight in the recycle bins. But it is a lot easier if you just don’t get them in the first place. I recently learned of a pretty cool website that can help you eliminate those mailings.
