Everyone said this green thing would be a trend. Prius’ would come and go, people would soon forget about Mother Earth, and we would return to our old conspicuous consumer ways. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case. In fact, you know something has caught on to being mainstream, when major design companies like Pottery Barn, have adopted green philosophies in many of their product lines. Case in point, their latest take on a formal chandelier. Made from re-purposed green-glass wine bottles and iron, this wine bottle chandelier perfectly illustrates how being green can not only be good for the environment, but look good too!

Two weeks ago there was a new addition to our family. Along with house resident Lou, came Lulu. I swear that’s her name! And with double the fun, came double the fur. I was vacuuming every day, and with ol’ trusty losing suction, I knew it was time for an upgrade.
I receive a lot of coupons via e-mail. Not as spam, but by request. It’s part of my war on paper waste. And my foot soldiers (aka clients) have helped greatly in this cause. However, recently I came across a few “paperless clients” who had some pretty funny habits. I discovered that many of them were printing their e-mailed coupons! Which kind of defeats the purpose of the paperless coupon in the first place.
As the official last holiday of the summer nears, people are getting ready for the infamous BBQ weekend by stocking up on all the necessities. Besides food, the most commonly bought supplies are plastic cups, plates, and utensils. And even though these products can be recycled, they usually end up in the trash. After all, who wants to stand around collecting dirty plates to rinse and recycle?
Umm, deeelicious!
I recently caught the flu of all flus. Not the N1H1, but it sure did feel like it was something serious. And though I did score the sexy man voice, I also got a horrible cough that still won’t go away. One thing that seemed to help were hot showers. And while taking one last night I remembered a genius tip from environmental lifestyle expert 
Heather and I recently encountered an awesome client who if there was an award for “Best Mutli-Tasker,” would win hands down. She juggles home, husband, kids (school schedules & play dates), personal appointments, cats, a dog, even a fish! And like most women who have such busy lives, things can get a little hectic at times, especially with regards to ones memory. In fact, this particular client didn’t need help with organizing her stuff at all, rather, she needed help organizing her time.
