Go Green & Save Money with LunchSkins

My sons' school has been doing a great job encouraging parents to pack "no waste" lunches for the kids. No waste meaning: no paper napkins, no disposable utensils and absolutely no plastic sandwich bags! And while I am all for the Green movement - it has taken a lot of trial and error to find eco-friendly products that I would actually recommend to friends and Fab & Fru readers. After experimenting - a lot - I found a baggie alternative I love: LunchSkins! And what's even more Fab & Fru? They are now available at TARGET! Now you really have no excuse.

In addition to protecting the environment, LunchSkins also protect your wallet. For example, Ziploc sandwich bags run about $4.50 for 100, and Ziploc's snack bags run about $3.90. Assuming you are constantly replenishing your supply like most moms I know, you're probably dropping at least $100 a year on plastic bags. Instead, the Read More »from The Best Baggie Alternative

Vitamin C
Research showing that vitamin C can damage cells' DNA has received a lot of attention, but these studies were done in test tubes, not people. Most experts say vitamin C is safe in moderate doses. And many people appear to be skimping on C. Experts say 20 to 30 percent of Americans may have low levels in their blood and up to 16 percent may be deficient. In a British study done last year, men and women with high blood levels of C had about half the risk of dying from heart disease, cancer and other ailments than those with low levels. In addition, C protects against cataracts. In a 14-year study of 478 women, Tufts University researchers found that those who took vitamin C supplements reduced their risk of developing cataracts by a third.
