Steviva Brand Pure Stevia Powder - Review

nesta67@gmail.com (Jinxy and Me) — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 01:32:00 +0000

By now, most of us have heard of the wonderful benefits of Stevia, but have your tried it yet? I was lucky enough to recently try Steviva brand Pure Stevia Powder, thanks to the nice folks at Steviva.

250 to 300 times sweeter than sugar yet has no carbohydrates or calories and is safe for diabetics as well as persons who suffer from hypoglycemia. Unlike most other brands Steviva brand stevia extract has no additives whatsoever and is 100% natural in every sense of the word.

Patented Fructevia, which is excellent for cooking and baking, has less than 3 calories per serving and does not affect blood sugar levels like sugar so it is safe for diabetics, low carb dieters, low glycemic dieters, persons suffering from hypoglycemia. is a patented all natural proprietary blend of Fructose, FOS, Stevia and Magnesium Carbonate. Fructevia tastes exactly like sugar. In fact, they guarantee it. If you find that it doesn't, send it back for a refund in full.

My main use of sugar in our household is for baking and I was a bit skeptical about how the Fructevia. would hold up. When baking with Steviva you only need half the amount of what you would use of sugar. I tested it in my "famous" healthy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Guess what - - they turned out great! I really noticed NO difference, and I think that was the objective!

If you want to check out Steviva for yoursef, head over to Steviva and check our their selection of products.

Recycle Your #5 Plastics with Preserve

nesta67@gmail.com (Jinxy and Me) — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 23:26:00 +0000

I have some good news. If your local recycling program doesn't allow you to recycle #5 plastics (yogurt cartons, sour cream containers, etc.) you can now recycle them through Preserve! They also accept used Brita water filters. You can either bring them to Whole Foods for recycling (Check here for locations) or, if you can't get to Whole Foods, you can collect them and send them by mail. Find all the details here.

I'm so happy to be able to recycle these now! I always had to think twice about whether or not I should buy yogurt because it kills me to throw those containers in the trash! Now I can just save them all up and bring them to Whole Foods when I visit my sister.

Winter Composting

nesta67@gmail.com (Jinxy and Me) — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 16:54:00 +0000

Since it's getting to be that time of year again, I thought it would be a good idea to re-run my post about Winter Composting:

There are some die-hard composters who compost indoors in the winter using red worms, or set up a full-scale outdoor winter compost operation like The Compost Guy. Although I’m all for composting and reducing waste, I really am not up for keeping worms in the house or building an elaborate winter composting system. So, what I have done is get an early start on the spring compost pile with a very simple method: A Bucket on the Deck. The beauty of my plan is its simplicity. Put a bucket outside the kitchen door on the deck and throw our scraps in there.

I only started this about a month ago, but this one small bucket should last us for quite some time. There are only two of us and the scraps compact themselves as they begin to break down. Once we are rid of the snow and the weather starts to warm up, I’ll be transferring our winter collection to the compost pile.

It's Election Day! Get Out and VOTE!!!

nesta67@gmail.com (Jinxy and Me) — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 16:24:00 +0000

Today I have ONE message for you - VOTE!!! No matter your political party or choice of candidates, today is your opportunity to make your voice heard and participate in the democratic process. Even if you haven't registered to vote, many states allow you to register on Election Day. If you need to find out WHERE to vote, Google has set up an easy directory.

Voting itself is rewarding, but this year there are a lot of extra "perks" you can get for voting. I posted earlier about the Ben & Jerry's and the Krispy Kreme, but USA Today has printed the following list:

Due to possible conflict with election laws in various states, most are not requiring proof of voting. The free offers:

•Coffee. Starbucks expects to hand out "hundreds of thousands" of free 12-ounce drip coffees (valued at about $1.75 each), says spokeswoman Jenny McCabe. "If everyone who votes comes in for a free cup of coffee, we'll have some lines," she says.

•Doughnuts. Some 85 of Krispy Kreme's 231 locations in the U.S. will hand out star-shaped, red-white-and-blue sprinkled doughnuts "while supplies last," says spokesperson Dana Hughens. The chain will give out about 200,000 doughnuts valued at 99 cents each. "People are definitely talking about the brand as a result of this," she says.

•Ice cream. Between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. in each time zone, Ben & Jerry's ice cream shops will hand out single-scoop ice cream cones (a $3.40 value). "What better way to encourage people to be politically active than to give away free ice cream?" asks spokeswoman Liz Brenna.

•Sandwiches. In a local market promotion, several hundred of the nation's 1,400 Chick-fil-A stores will hand out $2.70 chicken sandwiches to adults who show proof that they voted, says spokesman Jerry Johnston.

•Phone calls. Credo Mobile, a wireless company that donates money to progressive causes for calls its customers make, will offer free outbound calls to current customers during polling hours in their states. The cost could be about $250,000, says spokeswoman Becky Bond.

•Discount haircuts. Then, there's Cristophe Schatteman, a top hair stylist known for giving former president Bill Clinton a $200 haircut on Air Force One. His salons in Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, Beverly Hills and Orange County, Calif., will offer all services — including haircuts — at half price today. A $500 haircut from Cristophe will go for $250.
