Sodastream: Less Guilt, More Fizzzz

I've been using reusable shopping bags for a while now. CVS even gives you greentags that reward you when you use them. I hate those plastic bags that are bad for the environment and break before you even get home. Lately I've been getting a lot of drinks on the run. As I throw the plastic bottles in the garbage I feel guilty. There still aren't many recycling programs in New Orleans since Katrina. I heard that there is a place you can bring cans and bottles but it's only open on Saturday for 3 hours. That's ridiculous. It's so difficult to drink a soda without feeling terribly guilty about the waste I'm creating. I've seen infomercials for the Sodastream. It creates soda and fizzy water using a jet. The concentrated soda mixtures contain no aspartame or high fructose corn syrup. It seems like the answer to my prayers. Sometimes I want something refreshing but soda and juice don't cut it. Water is too bland, but I'm thirsty. I think a carbonated water would hit the spot but I can't justify paying over $3 at the store for a small bottle of fizzy water. This machine makes it in a matter of seconds with no mess, waste, or clean up. I cannot wait to try it and share my healthy alternative to the overpriced and waste producing soda I have picked up off the shelf over a dozen times this week. My guilt thanks Sodastream.



I'm a BzzAgent!

Burt's Bees: All Natural & Refreshing



Don't you just love chemicals? No? You don't like things that were made in a lab and required goggles, gloves, and mad scientist gear to develop? You're smart! Burt's Bees uses all natural ingredients in their products and they are amazing. They feel great and smell good. I'm a BzzAgent and got the chance to try them first-hand. They smell so fresh and clean and they make me feel pampered. I love the tingly feeling peppermint gives my skin as it goes on smoothe. It makes me feel like I'm at a spa and getting a special treatment. I can have great products at a great price and feel like I'm being pampered. Try their new acne treatment. It gets rid of swelling overnight and doesn't smell like a chemical mess.
