      <title><![CDATA[MyClyns Germ Protection Spray Giveaway]]></title>
      <link>http://www.blisstree.com/babylune/myclyns-germ-protection-spray-giveaway/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[How many of you have went to the grocery store with your baby? Now, thinking back to the last time you went, which was what this week, how clean were the carts or even the store?
IMG: MyClyns
Many times moms/dads end up doing some type of shopping with the baby with them and have no other choice but to place their beautiful baby inside a germ infested cart. Right? It&#8217;s gross and sure they might wipe them down but not all day long and how do you know if the last baby or person to touch the rail (handlebar) wasn&#8217;t sick.
MyClyns has a &#8220;germ protection spray&#8221; out that you can carry around with you. It almost looks like a large pen that you can slide in your jacket or for us moms stick in your purse or diaper bag. This of course means you can pull it out during a movie, eating out, or grocery shopping. Now the difference with this little &#8220;MyClyns&#8221; spray is you can spray it directly on the surface of the thing possibly infected, this includes children. Not to worry I tested it on myself before spraying my children, they look at it was a water gun that kills germs.
MyClyns, a new alcohol-free, germ protection spray that you can immediately use on your face when exposed to harmful pathogens. The non-toxic, non-burning spray contains a fast-acting solution that has shown to reduce more than 60 potentially dangerous germs, including MRSA, staph and E-coli*.

This product is used by more than just moms and dads, so don&#8217;t think that just because you don&#8217;t have a child doesn&#8217;t mean you don&#8217;t need one. Think about how many germs you are coming into contact with daily. Gross right?
Others that use it are:police, firefighters, EMS, and healthcare workers
Want one for yourself? MyClyns can be foundat CVS stores nationwide along with other major retailers for a suggested retail price ranging from $7.99- $9.99. Or you can win one right here thanks to MyClyns.

      <title><![CDATA[Reactions to Audi Green Super Bowl Ad]]></title>
      <link>http://www.blisstree.com/articles/reactions-to-audi-green-super-bowl-ad/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Audi 2010 green car Super Bowl commercial was hilarious in my opinion but it&#8217;s unleashed a wealth of opinions that border on whack job. First watch the commercial&#8230;

Now I&#8217;ve seen two major trains of thought surrounding this commercial.

This commercial proves the green folks are nuts.
 This commercial is making fun of people who are honestly into green living.

Not working for Audi, I&#8217;m not 100% about what their agenda was, although I&#8217;ve got sinking suspicion that their major goal is to sell cars (gasp). But of course people over think everything. At SuperBowl Commercials, many comments relate that this commercial proves green people are insane OR that Audi went too far trying to make people feel guilty about not living green. For example&#8230;

&#8220;This is so close to reality its ridiculous! Environmentalism has become a cult and if you disagree with it, youre immediately labeled.&#8221;
&#8220;Awesome. This ad shows what NUT JOBS the environmentalist wackos really are!&#8221;
&#8220;At first this commercial ticked me off but now I see that it was a satire on the enviromental wackos.&#8221;

WOW. Really? So it&#8217;s insane to use a reusable bag or reusable water bottle or compost. These are barely green living steps in my opinion; just common good sense. These aren&#8217;t extreme ideas &#8211; these are easy and everyone can do them. Minus the whole, &#8220;Buy a green car&#8221; deal at the end, these are not extreme or crazy steps. If using a reusable bag is wacko I&#8217;m wondering what these folks think about solar panels.
There are also people who think that this commercial makes eco-friendly folks look bad.
I have met nutty over the top, holier than thou green types and they drive me nuts. I think this commercial made me laugh for just that reason. That said, if you&#8217;re into green living I don&#8217;t think this commercial is cause to be offended unless you do happen to be one of those, &#8220;Everyone must live like me types&#8221; and if you are, maybe you should rethink your strategy. If you&#8217;re always preaching green at everyone you know maybe you need a new tactic. Small steps can add up, not everyone needs to go totally green to make a difference.
Also, although I do think green living is valuable, I can still recognize that you have to be able to laugh at yourself once in a while. It&#8217;s a funny take on green living but it didn&#8217;t offend me.
A few more opinions:
The New York Times note, &#8220;Officious green police punish citizens who are not sufficiently eco-conscious, but an owner of an Audi A3 TDI with clean-diesel technology drives away scot-free. This misguided spot put the mental in environmental.
And then there were the totally &#8220;creeped out&#8221; people.
Some people called the commercial out for what I think it is &#8211; green that appeals to more than one sort of eco-person &#8211; i.e. not all tree huggers are extreme. This isn&#8217;t a huge deal. It&#8217;s a flippin&#8217; commercial. Watch it, maybe buy a reusable water bottle or heck the whole damn car, or don&#8217;t but overreacting doesn&#8217;t really win either side any points. Basically I think it was a commercial; not a big deal. It&#8217;s supposed to sell cars. Not sure if Audi will but it did get people talking about them for sure. People just need to chill.
What did you think of the commercial?

      <link>http://www.blisstree.com/articles/purina-ones-tour-for-heroes/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[To help pets in need, Purina One has teamed up with Martha Stewart to visit animal shelters from San Francisco to New York City throughout the month of February. At each stop, Purina One will give out free Purina One dog and cat food to all attendees (11,000 bags across the nation!), and will also be hosting adoption events at local shelters. 

Purina One wants to help the animals affected by the current economy, especially those who don&#8217;t have a bowl of food or a warm, caring home. 
Even if Purina One isn&#8217;t stopping by your city, pet lovers can still help pets by logging on to tourforheroes.marthastewart.com and search for an adoptable pet anywhere in the United States, and then click to share with friends on Facebook. 
Every time a homeless pets photo is shared, Purina One will donate $1  up to $50,000  to feed pets in need in local communities!

      <description><![CDATA[The U.S. Food and Drug Administration unveiled a plan Tuesday to reduce radiation exposure from three types of increasingly widespread imaging procedures: computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine studies and fluoroscopy.

These three imaging techniques are the largest contributors to total radiation exposure among Americans. They use much higher radiation doses than other imaging procedures, such as standard X-rays, dental X-rays and mammography, potentially increasing the lifetime risk of cancer, the agency said.]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Treat your garden seeds with care]]></title>
      <link>http://www.blisstree.com/articles/treat-your-garden-seeds-with-care/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Garden seeds, if you think about it are pretty amazing. Just a few seeds can grow enough veggies for many summer salads, baskets of flowers, and enough seasoning for all your dishes year round. However, while seeds do have seemingly magical qualities they&#8217;re also fragile if not treated right. You need to care for your seeds carefully, not only to preserve the chance to grow a lovely garden but to save money and time as well. It&#8217;s much nicer not to have to buy new seeds each year.

How to care for your seeds&#8230;

Until you&#8217;re ready to plant or soak seeds for planting, always keep seeds perfectly dry. Moisture is the death of seeds, at least until they&#8217;re in the soil.
If you collect and save your own seeds allow them to sit at room temp until perfectly dry. After that store in a small container or envelope in a cool place away from moisture and bugs. Some people won&#8217;t save seeds in common everyday envelopes, thinking they do need a fancy seed saving kit, but I&#8217;ve always stored saved seeds in plain old envelopes with zero trouble.
Long term seed storage may require more than a simple envelope though. My local extension offers a good way to save seeds for the long-term; &#8220;place seed packets or seed envelopes in a jar, seal the jar tightly and place it in a refrigerator or freezer. To help avoid too much moisture, place a small, cloth bag filled with dry, powdered milk beneath the seed packets in the bottom of the jar. Use about 1/2 cup of dry milk from a recently opened package.&#8220;
Label! When it comes to seed saving or if you accidentally rip a package, label and date the new envelope. I&#8217;ve forgotten to label before and it&#8217;s such a waste if you forget to label a hard to recognize seed.
Unless you&#8217;re dealing with hard seeds, for example lupine or morning glory, handle seed packets carefully. If you rub the outside of the packet to see if you can tell how many seeds are in there or try to open a packet while wearing garden gloves (tough) you can break the protective seed coating which reduces germination odds.
In order to avoid waste and to avoid harming fragile seeds sow tiny carefully. Snip the smallest bit of corner off your seed packet and carefully tap the packet gently allowing some seeds to escape to the soil.
