Reusable Shopping Totes

8 June 2008

Amazon sells these neat shopping totes called the Baggu. I try to reuse shopping bags, or bring a cloth bag, but a lot of times I get lazy so I just leave the bags at home. Well, maybe that’ll change with the Baggu. I haven’t purchased any yet, but they look like they might be the answer to my laziness. They fold up so your can keep one in your pocket. When you expand them, they’re the size of 2-3 regular plastic bags. Neat! They’re washable and have a somewhat flat bottom so things will sit in them more easily.

Millions of plastic bags end up in land fills, and they don’t biodegrade. They just turn into toxic materials that kill wildlife and pollute the air. So these are a great idea.

Beanhaus

1 June 2008

If you’re ever in Covington, Kentucky or Cincinnati, Ohio, you should take a trip to the Beanhaus on MainStrasse (Main Street) in Covington, Kentucky. It’s a cozy coffee shop that has a lot of wonderful hot drinks on their menu. The seats and tables are comfortable. The store is a historic home that was converted to a coffee shop. There’s a cute fireplace that understandably doesn’t get much use during the summer. There’s a shelf stocked with board games for those that are bored. The background music is nice and soothing, but not overwhelming.

Great place. The baristas are friendly and the java is tasty. Highly recommended.
