    My Time to Wake Up

    My Time to Wake Up is a simple clothing company with a simple and bold statement. Time To Wake Up. Wake up and try to help the world. The black organic cotton shirt fits nicely but it’s not as soft as other brands I usually wear. The shirts are Anvil Brand Organic Cotton, a very large shirt manufacturer, but maybe in the future My Time to Wake Up will have their own line.

    time to wake up review

    They do have bamboo shirts available now and we’ll be reviewing them shortly. The logo is simple and makes sense. The back neck area sports the IUTU which stands for It’s Up To Us. Another good slogan that I’m proud to wear.

    I’ll be reviewing the bamboo shirts in the future, so stay tuned and check My Time To Wake Up!

    Xtrema Skillet

    whats cooking

    After using this skillet for the last few weeks or so, I decided it was time to write about it. The heat is thoroughly and evenly distributed and food cooks really well. The high sides make it a great tool for sauces or full dishes in one pan. The trivet is designed to match the base of the skillet and it fits like a glove. Overall, it works well.

    Why I’m reviewing cookware? It’s eco-friendly of course, here’ how.
    The skillet is made from ceramics and does not contain metal. It also is oven, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, broiler and table safe. It’s a multi-talented skillet!

    Because of the eco-friendly properties of ceramics, there are no toxins in the dish so none can seep into your food while it’s being cooked. The cookware has a 50 year warranty but do not drop it, that is NOT covered. Ceramic is fragile, so be careful.

    There are so many more facts I could list, but back to the review. It’s not too heavy, very sturdy, but I’m just afraid of how it cleans. So far so good, but you really have to give it a good scrubbing to get it nice and clean.

    I got to support my Jersey friends over at Ceramcor. Check out their site for soon to be released products.

    LOCAL Green Expos

    Anyone going to Global Green in Jersey City, NJ or to Go Green Expo in NYC? I headed to Global Green yesterday. Lots of vendors and fresh, local, organic food as well as speakers. I got to see the Gov’ner of Jersey up close and personal. That was kind of neat. Go Green will be fun, we’re heading there Sunday!

    See You There!

    Green Apple Cleaners

    New York’s Green Apple Cleaners has a great concept. They are a Local, eco-friendly dry cleaners with fast and convenient services. They use reusable bags and offer pickup and delivery services.

    I am not in New York City, but Green Apple Cleaners has one of their large depots right near my home in Lodi, New Jersey. Check out the site for how their system works, but just some words of advice, sign up and use them, it’s totally worth it.

    I stopped in to drop off two articles, an old army jacket that I bought at the Salvation Army and my Sling and Stones denim. I arrived after the store closed, but the clerk was kind enough to let me in after hours. I dropped off the two pieces and headed home.

    green apple cleaners

    Three days later, I picked up the goods. Not only was it clean, it was amazing. The denim was clean and freshly pressed. They still had the same selvage stiffness that they are supposed to have and the jacket did not look like it was from 1971.

    When I bought the jacket, it was missing a button on one of the cuffs, they fixed it without even asking or charging for the repair. It was wonderful. The jacket smelled brand new and fit like a charm. It was a wonderful day.

    I spoke with Chris, the President of the CO2 cleaning company; he is a great guy with a great group of people working with him. They have Smart cars and use all earth friendly practices as much as possible. If you live locally in Bergen County, NJ, stop by the Lodi or the new Mahwah location. You will not be disappointed.

    Tune back soon, we’re going to head into the plant and chat more with Chris and company. I have to wait until it’s time to dry clean something else!

    In the meantime, check out Green Apple Cleaner’s site for tons more information.
