Water Filteration



I had the pleasure of meeting Cindy Crawford many years ago through a mutual co-worker who went to high school with Cindy in Illinois. I remember it was a hard time for her (as it was during her divorce from Richard Geer). I do remember thinking what beauty she had not only on the outside - but inside! She is brought up with loving surroundings and her goals, integrity and beliefs are similar to mine. I do admire her because I noticed what she says, is what she does and there is no stopping this intelligent women! I like her!



Well......I also have to admit I got mad at her (just a little) cuz' she got to make out with my Jon Bon Jovi in a Christmas video! hee hee!


Like some of us moms, Cindy is doing things to create attention to the water problems and green issues. (Regarding the below info) This was brought to my attention this morning so I wanted to pass this along.


See what Cindy has to say and check this out!
PUR Water Filtration is partnering up with model Cindy Crawford to help promote the use of filtered tap water and reduce consumption of the bottled kind. The campaign, which is launching this May, is called “Thirsty for Change” and will include Crawford designing her own eco-chic reusable water bottle — with all proceeds from the sales going towards Children’s Safe Drinking Water; a program which is dedicated to providing safe drinking water to impoverished children around the world. Said Crawford,
“Like me, many moms today are concerned about the environment. We all want to live a little greener and do our part for the planet and for the health our families. The good news is that even small changes can make a huge impact on the environment. And that’s great news for my family because changes that fit easily into our hectic routine are the ones that are going to stick.
That’s why I would like to share some easy, green tips for other moms out there. They’ve worked in my house. I have learned that getting the whole family involved shows the kids that being eco-friendly can be fun!”


I (Marie) have had PUR water filtration in my home for some years now - I do have water shipped to my home and I am very picky not only what I drink & eat, but what my children put in their bodies as well - People call me a water snob! ha ha!

Hey.......just like some people like their wine! I like my water!

Today, I am in a great mood! My kids are still a little sick but doing fine! We ate our healthy breakfast and danced in our PJ's to "WE GOT IT GOIN' ON"by Bon Jovi.

Speaking of Bon Jovi.....I am inspired to spread the word about my dear friend Don Hutson! He is a ROCK STAR! I love Bon Jovi but......this guy..."letametellya" (aka Let me tell you!).....not only is he married to one of my best friends who I will introduce later....but this guy can fly his own plane, write books and who knows....play the piano too?!

Okay...here is today's FAB find! You must check out his website at http://www.donhutson.com/.
Make sure to reserve one of his books "The One Minute Entrepreneur" co-authored with Dr. Ken Blanchard (author of "The One Minute Manager") coming soon! I have full faith it will not only be one of the Best Seller's but......a book to include in your "must haves" !!!

Today, my ego is in the mood to promote my business Zazu & Valentina, LLC - check out the side bar for the website and if you want to be added to the newsletters that get e-blasted to over over 1,000 peeps - email me at zazuvalentina@aol.com. Also, again, I need people to join my team so if you want to make some extra cash on the side or just purchase good products for your home and health - sign up at http://www.greenplanethealth.com/. I won't talk about this everyday but I am on a mission to get this going!!! : ) hee hee!

Okay.....here is the hottest ticket when it comes to fashion in New York
I am screamin' "HILTON HOLLIS is in the house" http://www.hiltonhollis.com/
also speaking of NYC.....if you go to New York you must make plans to see the Ground Zero Museum Workshop : Images & Artifacts from the Recovery, which is now ranked as the 12th most popular attraction in NYC according to TripAdvisor.com. Daily 2-hr. tours sell out fast. Get tickets online at: http://www.groundzeromuseumworkshop.com/and stop by Dylan's Candy Bar too! : ). By the way, the creator of Ground Zero Museum Workshop is NYC Actor Marlon Suson, who (along with fellow writer Kim Donato) recently wrote and is workshopping his new stage play, "American Brother" which I had a chance to read, and WOW, it is powerful. (see artwork below to the right). I hope this makes it to Off-Broadway...

Well, I am off now to get clean and into some clothes other than my PJ's.....oh one more thing... make plans to be at the Southern Women's Show March 7th-9th (men can come too!)

until we BLOG again......
Take care and remember............life is too short.......go give lots of kisses to your loved ones, hug a tree (only if there is no beehives attached), or............be kind to someone today!

As my son says...Peace Out!
