"There is no limit to what you can imagine. And the moment you imagine anything, it begins to come to life. When you imagine, you plant a seed. The more detailed and specific your imagination becomes, the more that seed will grow.

Imagine the place you would most like to be. Then imagine how you could get there.

Continue to imagine, in greater and greater detail, and at some point an amazing transformation occurs. The object of your imagination crosses over into reality.

When you imagine, you focus your mind on the possibilities. And your mind goes to work to make those possibilities happen.

When you imagine, be sure to imagine the very best. For what you can imagine sets the stage for where you'll go."

-- Ralph Marston

Hi readers of my blog... I had to put this on today because I wrote a little on my Poughkeepsie Journal blog - check it out - press here and it struck me so funny I couldn't help it.  The blog is all about self-love if you are not with a significant other on February 14th.....but you must admit...as much as I don't usually put things like this up - it is hysterical.. I can't stop laughing...   I know soon I won't feel this way anymore... LOL

Okay.. it's time to do a review on a really, really cool item and a fantastically cool company. Let me tell you a little bit about SnackTAXI. Their mission is to create fun and friendly items that make it easy for everyone to move their food in sustainable style.
Here are some the advantages as listed on their tags of the Sandwich Sacks.

They are machine washable - and it's true – I washed mine and it's still in perfect condition.

Their materials are free of lead, phthalates, and BPA – hooray!!!

The US alone adds 20 million plastic baggies to landfills every singe day – These fashionable little bags help to cut back on plastic bag usage.

Each reusable bag you use keeps as many as 100 plastic bags out of the waste stream – Hooray SnackTaxi!!!

I tested out my SnackTAXI sandwich sacks several times in the last few weeks. I brought everything from sandwiches to pretzels to healthy snacks and everything in between and I've been very happy with the quality, the lightness, and the fact that it is washable. It also helps that they are very stylish. All in all, I love my sandwich sacks. I may be trying other products of theirs in the future so stay tuned.

  You go SnackTAXI! Way to go!!! Check out the website where they have other products and all the wonderful designs and patterns for adults and kids.

This is from their about us page:

I invented SnackTAXIs way back in 2003 as a way to stem the tide of plastic ziplock bags that flowed from our house to the landfill when our 3 kids started school! We pack over 500 lunches every year, and had definitely fallen prey to the easy appeal of the ziplock bag.

SnackTAXIs are easy too - really! They are made in our home-based workshop by talented (and fun!) local sewers - we are committed to keeping our business local, and will never outsource our labor.

We hope you'll enjoy using snackTAXIs as much as we enjoy making them!

Erin Kelly-Dill, Owner
