Life's Luxuries - Number 2

100% pure Linen Bed Sheet Set and Duvet cover.

I got going on this after I saw the movie with Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock, called Practical Magic, there was a linen blanket on one of the beds that looked wonderfully comfortable. After some browsing online and a few shopping excursions, I realized this would be a harder item to find and cost more than I had anticipated.

I ended up purchasing my duvet cover from Pottery Barn. The website was having an online special and I ended up purchasing the cover for just under $100. The sheets I totally lucked out again, but this time at Tuesday Morning. If you have not been there it is located at 2169 West 12th Street, Erie PA, which is at the corner of 12th and Pittsburgh Avenue. Tuesday Morning reminds me of T.J. Maxx but without all the clothes and shoes. This sheet set was originally $400.00 and I ended up paying, again, $100.

Garnet Hill carries the sheets online if you want to check them out.

Sweet Dreams!

Life's Luxuries- Number 1

Life Luxuries Number 1.....

Dual Shower Head. If you shower with a partner frequently this is a must have. I have had one since we purchased our home 5 years ago. The best part is that you both stay warm and have your own personal on/off switch. It really is quite wonderful.

Check out this one from SkyMall.

rBGH-Free Milk

I am alarmed at the high rate of cancer in our area, especially breast cancer. My mother is a breast cancer survivor and I try to live a life without any added hormones to my diet as well as my young children.

I have been researching all the information regarding the synthetic hormone rBGH, aka Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone, that farmers inject their cattle with so as to produce more milk.

What really got me interested was that Canada, Europe, Australia, Spain, New Zealand, and more have banned this hormone and have banned American milk products in their countries.

I spoke with a representative of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture who assured me these hormones are safe. They have been in use for only ten years.

After much reading I have decided that Organic milk is the way to go. I have been purchasing Wegmans Organic Milk which clearly states "No rBGH Hormones."
