About the same time I got my new bed I also got a new pillow. Hurray! Before getting to test drive the Savvy Rest Shredded Latex Pillow you see above I was using some organic cotton pillows that frankly were not that comfortable.

While neither is that great IMO they are better than what she currently had. … [Read more...]

Hurray for Ben and Jerry's
After months of discussion with the HSUS (The Humane Society of the United States) and weeks of hearing from concerned individuals like yourself, Ben & Jerry's has declared that it will adopt an exclusively cage-free egg policy for the eggs it uses in its ice cream.
