Review | OneCoffee Organic Single Serve Coffee

A lot of my friends and family own Keurig coffee makers. They are a convenient way to grab a decent cup of coffee in the morning and dash out the front door. 

These one-cup coffee makers are in tons of peoples homes - but have you ever thought about how wasteful they are? One plastic cup gets wasted for every cup brewed. (It's kinda disturbing) I don't think people even realize the environmental ramifications. This is why I'm really impressed with Canterbury Coffee's OneCoffee 90% Biodegradable Organic single serve pods! (Canterbury is Canada's second largest coffee chain) Standard K-Cups contain a plastic coffee filter, grounds, and a foil top with no easy way to separate everything for recycling. :/

Seriously...look at it...how cool is that? Both of my parents were shocked when I unwrapped this decaf pod. The pods are individually wrapped for freshness and safety. (Does that fit the Keurig?) Why, yes - it totally fits the Keurig...and it was delicious to boot! You can find them in the following blends: French Roast, Breakfast Blend, Decaf Dark, Colombian, Peruvian, Sumatran, Ethiopian, and Variety pack.

OneCoffee is also suitable for people who are Vegan, Halal, Kosher, and they are BPA free. :) Currently - I believe they are only sold over in Canada. Hopefully we will be able to enjoy them in the US soon!

Canterbury Coffee began in 1981 as a micro-roaster in Richmond, BC. When the company opened it's doors, they roasted only 100% Arabica coffees - a decision that still stands today. :)

ChicoBag Review & Giveaway!

"Don't Feed the Bag Monster" reusable bag

$6.99 at ChicoBag.com ♥

I discovered this nifty reusable bag company right before I got pregnant with Silas, and I have been a big fan ever since. I actually noticed a large basket of them for sale by the register at my local Earth Fare recently - go ChicoBag! :) This company has such a commitment to our environment and it makes me really happy to see their products catching on. Today I'm going to review their limited edition "Don't Feed the Bag Monster" bag, that is produced on their Original style bag. (I own a couple of these in different colors) I find that they are very handy for thrift shopping, I like to clip mine onto Miri's stroller. The best feature about the ChicoBags is the little integrated pouch that they stuff into. They are a perfect handbag size...or diaper bag size for that matter, so then you're never without it! They are also light-weight and very sturdy - I have not ripped one yet! (25 pound carrying capacity) This particular style comes with two convenient handles and a carabiner - so your bag can be clipped anywhere. (Keys, jeans, etc) I love they they are not bulky like most of the shopper bags you see in stores, and they come in so many fancy colors! (Go check them out) I believe I will carry my new ChicoBag down to the farmer's market this weekend. :) Have you never tried one of these?

Oh - I know you would. ;)
