The Pure Modern Lifestyle begins with the long drive home and ends with the serenity of a hillside oasis. Open space + pure white define the laid-back lifestyle of “Less is the New More.” There is something to be said for the absence of rich color or bold prints and in today’s overly connected Blackberry world, who isn’t on the search for the simple pure beauty of ~ white. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy a few moments of pure bliss + pure modern home interiors.

Adeline Adeline is a bicycle boutique for the person who wants to rediscover the style, fun and romance of cycling. The shop is a friendly, welcoming environment that focuses on the beautifully designed city bikes and accessories made famous on the streets of Copenhagen, Amsterdam and now, New York. The just recently opened a store in Tribeca, NYC.
Adeline Adeline founder, Julie Hirschfeld was a graphic designer for the television channel, VH1, and then as partner in the New York design firm, Stiletto NYC. Her career took a turn after seeing her sister riding around the city on a vintage Schwinn. It was the design of these classic bikes that attracted her, combined with the comfortable upright ride that led her on a search for her perfect bicycle. After resigning herself to the fact that most of the city’s bike stores cater to either serious performance bikers or the enthusiast fixed-gear scene, she realized there was an opportunity for a new type of bike store that focuses on comfortable, relaxed riding for pleasure with an emphasis on the beautiful European city bikes that women ride in Copenhagen and other bike-centric cities.
The next time you’re lavishing gifts upon friends and family, why not consider using sweet cards and tags that can be planted after use and will sprout into beautiful, native wildflowers? Check these out…..
You can incorporate a monogram on the front page of the invitation (shown in photo). The monogram can be carried through to the tag on this favor box which can be tied with a 3/8″ satin buttercream ribbon wrap. The bottom of each box has planting information so that the guests know that they are plantable.
These tags are made from recycled papers embedded with wildflower seeds. Every purchase of these is helping Mother Earth.
Eco paper craft are specifically created to re-use all the useless bills, receipts, tags and other “junk” paper that comes into our lives.

“Don’t touch anything!” Easier said than done when you’ve got little 4 year old Jill, 2 year old Jack and your new born strapped into your front carrier all squished in one little public restroom stall! When they have to go, they have to go—whether at the movies, in the mall, on a plane, those germs do crawl!. Urifemme is your secret weapon to fight off public restroom germs. Just pull it out, pop it open, and hand it over to little Jack and Jill to give your precious little angels a total hands free sanitary “pee pee on the potty” experience.
“Anyone have to go before we leave the house?” That is the question that all moms ask and want to hear “Yes” to, every time. The dreaded trip to the public restroom when you are out and about with your kids, can throw a wrench in any fun filled excursion.
Trying to maneuver in those tiny stalls without touching a thing is simply not easy. It is almost always that little Jack has to make peepee the minute you get to your destination—forcing you to monitor his every move to avoid touching the filthy toilet bowl rim. Eeeewwwwww... Although public restrooms have come a long way from the outhouse, it is no place for a party and certainly not a clean environment for children. In blatant terms, it’s a germ-infested war zone.
Even walking around in a public restroom can be risky business. Each time a toilet is flushed, unseen water droplets explode from the bowl, carrying a half million bacteria and over 25,000 virus particles. They can land up to six feet away! While marinating in the air for a few hours while on the toilet seats, walls, counter tops, and floors, they are sure to find you!
