Coffee Roasting

Hi to all my coffee loving friends!

I hope all of you are enjoying your Friday and looking forward to the weekend. As most of you know my dad and I love to roast our own coffee beans, yummy! I wanted to share the site where my dad and I get our beans from and where we go the coffee roaster.

Please visit http://sweetmarias.com/ . We have the iRoast2 from sweetmarias http://sweetmarias.com/prod.hearthwareiRoast2.shtml .

Once you start roasting your own coffee beans you'll never go back! It's the best!

Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Water Bottles

Happy Monday!
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. I got to hang out with a good friend on Sunday and we were talking water bottles. I don't know about you but I'm ready to make the switch from throwing away and using plastic water bottles and finding a good reusable water bottle.

Here are some environmentaly friendly water bottles I've discovered.

Organic Face Products & Sunscreen

Good Moring! My sister Jane sent a couple of links to me in regards to organic face products and sunscreen.

Jane gets her face moisturizer from http://www.healthfoodemporium.com/. She uses items from the Miessence line, it is certified in Australia as being organic. They also have makeup, lotions, body care, etc.

Thank you Jane for the information :-)
