Aloe Vera gets thumbs up as natural oral care ingredient

US dental researchers say work they have been conducting into
aloe vera suggests that it is an excellent ingredient as a tooth and
gum cleaner.
The results found that the aloe vera gel invariably equaled the
performance of the commercial brands and in some instances
actually proved to be more effective at controlling cavity-causing
organisms.
The research also highlights the fact that aloe vera tooth gel
tends to be less harsh on the teeth than commercial toothpaste
because it does not contain such abrasive elements found in
other compounds of the same nature.
Miessence® toothpastes have been formulated with organic
aloe vera for more than 10 years! Available from Green Chickadee

Cheeki BPA free drink bottles now in stock.

About BPA – Bisphenol A is extremely widespread among many household plastics such as baby bottles and food storage containers. BPA is a chemical used in the manufacture of plastics and epoxy resins and is a known carcinogen that has been linked to brain synapse, reproductive and developmental impairments. Canada announced in 2008 it’s intent to ban the sale of baby bottles containing BPA’s.

Furthermore, repeated use of common disposable bottles (PET) can cause the plastic to break down and carcinogens to leach into your drinking water. Try leaving a full plastic bottle (re-used) and a full Cheeki bottle overnight and next morning take a sip from each – the difference in taste is incredible.

Environmental Concerns - Unless disposable plastic bottles are incinerated, they will be around in landfills, oceans and parks for hundreds of years. Most of us nowadays like to think that we are environmentally conscious, yet take a look at how many people are buying, carrying around and throwing out plastic bottles on a daily basis! Its mind-boggling. (not to mention the health risk, the taste or the expense). Millions of plastic bottles are thrown out – it’s really one of modern life ’s most ludicrous “developments” (not to mention the energy consumed in transportation and refrigeration).

Economy – you only need to refill your Cheeki bottle approximately five times as compared to purchasing five bottled waters to “break even”. We then hope you refill your Cheeki bottle five hundred times – for free!! (that’s a saving of about $1700!)

After posting about my favorite authors, I did a quick check to see if any of them were bringing out any new books soon.
I found that Marian Keyes has a newsletter! It's like ablog of what she's been up to lately. This might not mean much to everyone else but I am excited. I signed up and now feel like one of those celebrity stalkers.

My Top 5 #3 Authors

I love a good read although with 4 kids and a business I don't get as much time as I would like!

My favorite authors are:

1. Sophie Kinsella - author of the Shopaholic series. Didn't get around to seeing the movie so will have to wait for the DVD.
2. Cathy Kelly - nice chic lit author
3. Marian Keyes - her books are always entertaining
4. Monica McInerney - can't put down books
5. Kathy Reichs - bit different to the others but I love the science/mystery side of it plus she throws in stuff about the personal life of her character Tempe Brennan.
