Petite Palate Gourmet Organic Baby Food: Add Some Spice to Your Baby's Meals

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 15:57:52 +0000

Enough of the bland, add some spice to your baby's meals with Petite Palate's Gourmet Organic Baby Food. We loved their Apple Pear Blend which contains apples and pears, with lime juice, cinnamon and vanilla. Much better than plain 'ole applesauce, this container was devoured by my seven month old daughter. She also adored the Banana Peach Blend, which is bananas, peaches and ginger. I was impressed how light this puree was -- usually any puree with bananas that I've given my child is so dense. The Puree of Garnet Yams was delish too, but it took my baby a couple of times to start enjoying it. It's made with yams, vegetable stock, parsley, bouquet garni (made of parsley and thyme), plus cinnamon and nutmeg. My toddler, who we call the "The Vegetable Avoider", actually gobbled all the Split Pea Stew, which contains split peas, vegetable stock, red potatoes, onions, carrots, olive oil, garlic, thyme, pepper, and oregano. The product comes in 4 oz paper containers and arrived perfectly frozen at my door.

Petite Palate was started by Lisa Beels, a graduate of Cordon Bleu in London and Christine Naylor, a graduate of the California Culinary Institute. They started creating baby food together during playdates when their sons were babies. Their philosophy is that infants are born with taste buds that should be nurtured from the first taste of solid food. Judging from the way my children enjoyed their Petite Palate meals, they've succeeded!

The Banana Splits

Joe Bidens Book a Bestseller, and All It Took Was a V.P. Nomination

Joe Biden's pick as Barack Obama's running mate hasn't just saved the Obama campaign — it's saved Biden's literary career! Sales of the hair-plugged senator's boilerplate political tome, Promises to Keep, had been disappointing since it was released in July of 2007. But over the weekend Biden's sales got a bump, and he's rocketed into the top 30 on Amazon. Sadly, Evan Bayh's Argentina's Economic Crisis: Hearing Before the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, U.S. Senate wasn't so lucky, and remains stuck at No. 6,058,222.

Review: Rembrandt - Have a More Vibrant Smile!

Sun, 24 Aug 2008 09:33:00 +0000

As we continue to make great advances in oral care, sometimes we have to stop and enjoy a good laugh. Laughing releases endorphins, neurotransmitters that makes you feel good. Exposing yourself to the laughter of others can have the same effect. At Rembrandt, they think laughing is essential a healthy, happy mouth. After all, white teeth don't matter if there's nothing to smile about.

Rembrandt 2 Hour White Kit $24.99 at Amazon.com

Review:

I've never tried any whitening products before, because I was never sure how effective they were and so therefore, I did'nt want to waste any money on a product that would'nt work. Out of all of the Rembrandt products that I received, I would have to say that the Rembrandt Whitening Strips was the one that was most effective. I noticed a difference after 3 days of use. However, I also noticed that my gums started getting sensitive and it was almost unbearable to go through the whole process.

I don't really care too much for the touch up pen, because the gel is a bit gooey and the applicator is stiff. However, it works. I guess that is all that matters. :)

I used the 2-Hour Whitening Kit a few weeks later (which has been recent) after using the Whitening Strips Kit, but I have to say that I like the Whitening Strips much better, because I did'nt really notice much of a difference after using this.

Dont Dodge the Lodge Ball

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 02:01:41 +0000

Lisa Picarille was the moderator of our Content that Kills session in Boston, and wore these cute Aerosoles Lodge Ball Wedges in Seaweed (also available in Black). Being a big fan of Aerosoles, I just had to get a picture of them to share. Lisa claims they are very comfortable, and I thought they looked very appealing with her outfit. Much better than the Lisa’s “fandals” with socks for the GeekCast 31: The Hot Mess (note Jim Kukral in his Mandals in the video as well).

Review: The One Hundred: A Guide to the Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:09:59 +0000

Last week I received my copy of Nina Garcia’s latest book The One Hundred: A Guide to the Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own in the mail and couldn’t wait to start checking off “The One Hundred” must have items from A-Z. Luckily I already own a lot of the items already, but there are still more to work on! I am still going through the book, its so fun to read. The hardcover is fabulous too, covered in silver with black and pink letters along with witty illustrations by Ruben Toledo. The book is a must read, it’s a shopping list of timeless must haves that a stylish women should own in their closet.

If you’re constantly asking yourself, “What are fashion’s timeless pieces?”, perhaps this book is a great start. Ultimately, like Nina Garcia says, “There is no ultimate list, as it would go against the very nature of fashion and style, and the frenetic rebelliousness inherent in a truly stylish woman walking down the street wearing that perfectly unexpected mix of color and fabric. Style is dangerously unpredictable.” I agree with her 100% on that, if everyone was to follow a book to get dressed- everyone would look the same. The book officially releases on August 26th, pre-order your copy at Amazon.com for $14.93 now! Thanks to Felicia (HarperCollins) for the early copy!
