  This summer my sister gave me a couple boxes of PAPER STRAWS. I must say they are so cool.  If you remember paper straws from your childhood then you will appreciate finding paper straws again.  My sister and I have been looking for paper straws for a long time.  I even asked The Vermont Country Store to carry them, never got a response.  Of course you can buy old boxes of straws on  online auctions and the like,but who wants to use those for drinking?  My guess is that paper straws are making a come back because of the paper or plastic debate.   I really love the stripped straws in all those neat colors .  They really make a party or just a cold glass of Coke A Cola so much more fun.

scenscibles (r) bag and dispenser box I love finding new products, my newest favorite is Scensibles bags! (C heck out their WEB SITE )   Finally a pleasant way to throw away female products.  These little  personal bags are great for your girls bathroom, dorm rooms, public bathrooms.   The company is very friendly to the environment.  We have a box in all our bathrooms, and its great for all the girls friends that visit too.  It is so much more dignified to use these bags for used product disposal than to use a ton of toilet paper or worse just pitch it in the trash.  UPDATE BEGINS HERE: Visit the web site by clicking on the highlighted word WEBSITE, you can request a FREE SAMPLE (petite box ) by submitting a request form.  I highly recommend  requesting the sample, it is free, and a look at their website.
