Dark Chocolate Cocoa Roast Almonds by Emerald are a super cool snack.  These nutrient packed nuts have only 1 gram of sugar per serving, but they taste sweet, rich, and satisfyingly chocolaty. They will tantalize your taste buds and trim your waistline by keeping you from eating empty calorie sweets. They come in a fabulous cylindrical container that fits perfectly into you car’s cup holder.  You’ll look forward to your commute with this snack by your side.

Colgate recently released the Colgate Wisp no-water, mini “toothbrushes”.  Visit the website for a coupon and you can have a fresh smile even after the linguine with garlic sauce. You’ll be surprised at how clean your teeth feel--way better than gum or mints. Please note -these are disposable and to keep the landfills down I wouldn’t advise using them a lot, but in a pinch these little brushes are brilliant! I keep one in my purse, briefcase, and car.

Freefly.com for sample freebies is a super cool thing for sure!

Giving back is a super cool thing.  Almost all of us are struggling during these tight financial times, but it’s likely others have it far worse. So, why not donate that can of kidney beans, or spaghettios to your local food bank.  Here in Pasadena, California one food bank option is the Foothill Unity Center. They help those in need regardless of race or religion.  They collect food, hygiene products, clothes and other related supplies. They even have pet food bank!  So find your local food bank today and donate what you can.  Get your neighbors involved and help your community.  You’ll feel great knowing that you’re making a positive difference in someone’s life.
