Critters Find a Crafty Way to Your Heart

August 7th, 2008 by Poise Daily Staff Member

We’ve all experienced taking care of a pet at one point in our lives. Taking care of pets gives us a sense of responsibility and accomplishment no other task can give. Unfortunately, in this cruel world, not all animals are protected. That is why Melissa Dettloff, together with her mother and brother founded the Craftersforcritters. Craftersforcritters.com is an independent website that aims to bring together, independent crafters (designers, artists, businesses) and animal rescue organizations.

How, you ask? Craftersforcritters.com invites crafters of handmade/individually-created items to sell their products in the website (from accessories, clothing and pet stuff to chocolates and health and beauty products). Proceeds will be donated to animal rescue groups all over the United States. Crafters who donate their products to be sold on the website, benefit solely by being exposed to a large number of consumers who would want to buy more of their products independently. Not to mention the satisfaction they would feel just by making the world a bit better to live in.

Currently, Craftersforcritters.com is in its 9th round. A round is defined as a period of 6 months in a year where all sales proceeds will be given to three organizations. For this round, the beneficiaries are 2nd Chance at Life, Compassion Without Borders and Pregnant Mare Rescue.

All orders can be made through Craftersforcritters.com and payments are made through Paypal. Take note however, that they sell on a first-come, first-served basis. It’s not everyday you get to buy a funky shirt and be a hero at the same time.

Dropps

August 5th, 2008 by Poise Daily Staff Member

“We are a clear alternative to traditional laundry detergents,” said, Jonathan Propper, creator of Dropps, the revolutionary new biodegradable laundry product. “Just think, if all of the households that Lake Lanier serves in the Atlanta metropolitan area switched to Dropps from traditional detergent, that area would save nearly 12 million gallons of water per year. It’s a lofty goal, but Dropps offers an easy to use tool to save natural resources.” www.dropps.com

Dropps laundry packets are 100% usable material. Even the laundry products that claim to be concentrated are still made from 50% water and come in non-recyclable plastic packaging. Dropps is a 6x concentrated formula and comes in a totally recyclable package.

Simple to use, these small packs of low suds detergent have the power to clean, brighten and perform like any detergent on the market. Toss a convenient pack into the washing machine, load the laundry and know that your clothes will come out remarkably clean with little effort.

Every person needs to take part in cleaning up the planet. When we find a product that will allow us to be green, without forcing major life changes, how can we not do our part? Dropps laundry detergent gives us this chance.

Dropps can be found at select Target, WalMart and Whole Foods stores or online at Amazon. It is currently sold in 20 load or trial sized packaging, in fresh scent or fragrance free varieties. Get a free sample by just paying shipping at: www.dropps.com.

ELLA FITZGERALD

August 4th, 2008 by Poise Daily Staff Member

Her’s was the voice of the millennium. She debuted a terrific No 97 at the billboard charts and at number two on jazz albums after thirty eight long years despite not being in our midst anymore. We are talking about Ella Fitzgerald, The Undisputed Queen of Jazz.

Love letters from Ella is proving to be nothing less than A BLAST FROM THE PAST. Get set to groove to the hottest season in music that could be nothing but about the First Lady of Song. She had an amazing repertoire when it came to music, the smooth suppleness that swept through the notes emanating from her husky throat were extremely difficult to ignore. In fact it was like listening to a full blown orchestra when she was on the podium doing her thing.
