It seems that everyone is trying to make healthier choices these days regarding what we put in our bodies.  There's a wider variety of organic foods, supplements and other health care products on the market today designed to eliminate the intake of harmful toxins and chemicals into our bodies.

One positive change that most everyone has made is the switch to drinking bottled water, which is both good and bad.  Drinking bottled water is definitely better for our overall health than drinking tap water, but unfortunately, the waste associated with consuming bottled water is quickly overrunning our already overfilling waste dumps.

Thankfully, Filtrete from 3M has designed a product which will allow us the convenience and health benefits of drinking bottled water without placing an extra burden on our planet.  The Water Station Kit will even save you some serious money too!  Keep reading to learn more!

Back before I underwent Lasik corrective eye surgery, I wore prescription glasses and sunglasses for years.  I first noticed in high school that I was having problems seeing what the teacher was writing on the blackboard and discovered soon thereafter that I was nearsighted.  I also soon found out just how expensive prescription glasses were!

I would have loved to have more than one pair of glasses to match my different moods and styles, but due to the expense, this was impossible.  It also cost me a pretty penny to finally buy a pair of prescription sunglasses and when I accidentally lost them while tubing down the Guadalupe River, I almost cried!  :tear:

Thankfully, those days of expensive prescription eyewear are long gone thanks to online retailers like 39 Dollar Glasses.com.  They generously allowed me to review a pair of glasses of my choice.  Keep reading to see which style I chose and learn more about my experience with 39 Dollar Glasses.com!

Okay, that was enough to seriously bother me!  It's not that I'm a germophobe or anything, but I shudder to think that I am putting a toilet seat in my purse, pressing it up to my face and touching all over it several times per day.  YUCK!

VIOlight has been safely and effectively sanitizing toothbrushes for years with their germicidal UV bulb technology, and so I jumped at the chance to review their new UV Cell Phone Sanitizer, which promises to eliminate up to 99% of germs and bacteria.  Keep reading to learn more about the nifty little product that just may be your saving grace this cold and flu season!
