Hilarious video.
Full disclosure: I’ve said at least 85% of these things myself. #healthfoodpride #notashamed
As any startup can attest, oftentimes getting that big break is the difference between success and stagnation. In only its first four months since launching, ESP got their first big break – inclusion of their products in the Grammy Gift Lounge, a product giveaway and showcase in the days leading up to the preeminent music awards ceremony.

ESP stands for Essential Safe Products.. These are very cool non-toxic kitchen products. A mom started the company because she wanted better options for her kids - nice!

Delish.
Cranked up the antioxidants, potassium and omega 3′s with lots of mixed organic berries (about 1 cup), 1 banana, spinach (1 big handful) and added some Salba* about 1 tablespoon and topped off with filtered water. It was truly yum! (via Green Smoothie Blog | VitalSelf – A Health & Wellness Company)
Tumblr friends! I’d like to be self-promotional for just a moment, but in the spirit of gratitude. A few years ago my partner and I built a site called Thankfulfor.com. It’s a gratitude journal product and community. You can share your posts with the community and beyond (Twitter and Facebook too) or make your journal private (I have 2 public journals and a private one!).
If you have never kept a gratitude journal, I’d like to suggest it as something you start in 2012. Writing down 2-3 things a day that you are thankfulfor is proven to help people improve their lives in a variety of ways - from improving overall attitude and well-being, to helping people achieve their goals.
I invite you all to set up a free journal on the site. We also have a free nifty iPhone app to make it convenient to post. We don’t make any money from it (we ask for donations if you find you use it a lot so we can maintain it, but thats of course totally optional) but we have found it immensely rewarding and have lots of ideas for improving it in the future.
Also, you can follow the Thankfulfor Tumblr here.
Promotion done. Carry on. :D

Fascinating take on marriage. In our evolving society of social norms and constructs, I’m always curious how people think of marriage.
