			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>** <span class="blueprice">SALE</span>: <span class="bigred">Use coupon code</span> <span class="blueprice">wfl15</span> <span class="bigred">to save 15% <em>until</em> April 1, 2010</span> **</p>
<p>Every once in a great while, we discover a new idea so brilliant that it takes the rest of humanity years to accept it and make it part of their daily lives. Electricity, telephones, cars, and even TV fall into this category. People needed time to wrap their heads around the idea that something <em>so beneficial</em> could be produced <em>so easily</em>.<br />
<a href="http://www.waterforlifeusa.com/cgi/tbiggs/affiliate/clickme.cgi?exec=magicfactory&#038;site=site1&#038;fd=index.php?page=kyk-genesis-water-ionizer"><img src="http://mables.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/fountain-of-youth-water-ionizer.jpg" alt="fountain of youth water ionizer" width="500" height="446" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-835" style="border:0;"/></a><br />
I felt the same way when I first heard about <strong>water ionizers</strong>. &#8220;A little machine that makes magic anti-oxidant water? For way less than the cost of bottled water? That <em>has</em> to be a scam&#8221;, I reasoned. A few years later my in-laws were excitedly telling me about the holistic health benefits of their new water ionizer machine, and <strong>I <em>had</em> to reconsider</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.waterforlifeusa.com/cgi/tbiggs/affiliate/clickme.cgi?exec=magicfactory&#038;site=site1&#038;fd=index.php?page=kyk-genesis-water-ionizer"><img src="http://mables.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ionized-alkaline-healing-waters.jpg" alt="ionized alkaline healing waters" width="220" height="269" align="left"/></a>So they told me their first hand accounts and I was shocked. They&#8217;re not health nuts by any means. All they did was add in the alkaline water instead of drinking bottled water and filtered tap water. <span class="bigred">With that ONE change, they began to detox and experienced weight loss without effort, more energy and deeper sleep, they “felt hydrated for the first time ever”, and the water was even &#8220;much easier to drink&#8221;.</span> (That’s due to the newly &#8220;micro clustered&#8221; water molecules, which actually <em>do</em> hydrate our bodies much better than non-ionized water.) Now as someone who eats and drinks in a very health-conscious way, I was skeptical that one could still make less-than-awesome food choices and <strong>feel great</strong> with the simple addition of water. And yet that is exactly what my in-laws experienced. They are still loving their water ionizer and discovering new cumulative health benefits as time goes on. There are other benefits that they, and their friends have experienced, but they are so wonderful as to be unbelievable sounding so I&#8217;m not going to mention them here. Let me just say that I think <span class="biggreen">Fountain of Youth</span> would be an appropriate name for the <a href="http://www.waterforlifeusa.com/cgi/tbiggs/affiliate/clickme.cgi?exec=magicfactory&#038;site=site1&#038;fd=index.php?page=kyk-genesis-water-ionizer">KYK Genesis water ionizer</a>. </p>
<p>If I hadn&#8217;t witnessed it myself, I don&#8217;t know if I would have believed these amazing claims. Ionized, alkaline water is not yet available in stores so it&#8217;s one of those products that we still have to experience through our friends and family. Or we act on faith and see what amazing results we will personally experience. Plus there&#8217;s a <strong>60 day money back guarantee</strong> so there is plenty of time to <a href="http://www.waterforlifeusa.com/cgi/tbiggs/affiliate/clickme.cgi?exec=magicfactory&#038;site=site1&#038;fd=index.php?page=kyk-genesis-water-ionizer"><strong>see what improvements you notice</strong> from drinking and using ionized, alkaline water</a>.</p>

The simple play of light and shadow can be so mesmerizing. This new shadow projecting lamp from Brooklyn based Lumen uses a flock of birds to create it&#8217;s beautiful shadow play. Measuring a wee 5&#8243; x 2.5&#8243;, the shadows it projects get larger as you move the lamp away from the wall. It makes a great conversation piece for living room display, yet I envision placing them on a nightstand (or <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=103603&#038;b=53432&#038;m=9787&#038;afftrack=lumenflock&#038;urllink=www%2Eperpetualkid%2Ecom%2Fstainless%2Dsteel%2Dwall%2Dmount%2Dshelf%2Dfor%2Dlumens%2Easpx" target="_new">uber sleek Lumen shelf</a>). I&#8217;d just love to have my own flock of birds next to my bed <img src='http://mables.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  And since it&#8217;s oil powered, there are no power cords to tie it down and no electricity being used. This lamp is (almost) free as a bird&#8230;<br />

<p>Set the stage for your magical getaways (a.k.a. books) with this <span class="bigpink">whimsical book shelf</span> that utilizes dense elm wood as well as Indian root and trunk materials for outer decoration.

Branch &#038; Glass Side Table</a> of course! Yep, with branches working together to support the snazzy glass top it looks like nature is here to serve you.

OK now that&#8217;s out of the way what else can be said about these <a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-1569688-10424655?sid=Becodecor&#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vivaterra.com%2Fpls%2Fenetrixp%2F%21stmenu_template.main%3Fcomplex_id_in%3D482007.826941.907971.2724578.page&#038;cjsku=17200035S" target="_blank">reclaimed wood stools</a>? Well they are made of wood, beautiful Japanese teak in this case, and they are great for an impromptu sit down, or end table, or <strong>they can even be magical chairs out in your secret garden</strong>. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s pretty much perpetually sunny here in San Diego, CA, but if I was living in an area that had winter to make me stay indoors, I&#8217;d be sure I had some eco-friendly nature inspired furniture to help keep me company.</p>

It was many months ago that I randomly discovered ibride. They were featured on several design blogs and I instantly fell in love with their line of <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=103603&#038;b=127489&#038;m=17801&#038;afftrack=Bibride&#038;urllink=www%2Eburkedecor%2Ecom%2FiBRIDE%5Fs%2F44%2Ehtm" target="_new">ornate wall art trays</a>. Since they were seemingly <em>everywhere</em> at the time, I didn&#8217;t bookmark any online stores. Of course the name ibride quickly slipped from my memory and I have spent the last few months keeping en eye peeled for those <span class="bigred">gorgeous baroque flourishes and collages of anthropomorphic animals</span>. Quite a hybrid of style, eh? In fact, the name ibride is actually a play on words that is meant to represent &#8220;hybrid&#8221;. The company consists of 4 French relatives, Rachel, Benoit, and Carine, who I wish I could find more info about online. <a href="http://www.ibride.fr/" target="_new">Their official website</a> is in French and is Flash based so it doesn&#8217;t lend well to translating. <strong>Anybody know more about them?</strong> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=103603&#038;b=127489&#038;m=17801&#038;afftrack=Bibride&#038;urllink=www%2Eburkedecor%2Ecom%2FiBRIDE%5Fs%2F44%2Ehtm" target="_new"><img src='http://mables.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/ibride-decor2.jpg' alt='ibride trays, unique wall art' style="border:0;"/></a><br />
Their stunning art trays come in 3 different themes; <strong>vintage ladies</strong>, <strong>animals in nature</strong>, and <strong>hybrid human/animals attired in exquisite vintage clothing</strong>. The imagery is simply amazing, but it&#8217;s the colors that really grab me: <span class="bigred">brooding, muted shades with splashes of vivid color</span>. Everything they make is truly a hybrid of modern and classic. Better still, the laminated trays are made from a <span class="bigred">recycled wood</span> core!</p>

The <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=103603&#038;b=127489&#038;m=17801&#038;afftrack=Bibride&#038;urllink=www%2Eburkedecor%2Ecom%2FZelda%5FBasset%5FStool%5Fby%5FiBride%5Fp%2F901503%2Ehtm" target="_new">Basset Stool</a> and <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=103603&#038;b=127489&#038;m=17801&#038;afftrack=Bibride&#038;urllink=www%2Eburkedecor%2Ecom%2FSultan%5FDog%5FStool%5Fby%5FiBride%5Fp%2F901504%2Ehtm" target="_new">Dog Stool</a> (both shown above) are available in black or red. Joe the Polar Bear book shelf measures nearly 4&#8242; tall and is super limited edition.</p>
<p>All but 4 of the trays offered at Burke Decor include <span class="blueprice">Free Shipping in the USA</span>.</p>

Plus they are easily removable so it doesn&#8217;t ruin the surface it was once adhered to. They have many different designs to fit many decor styles, but I&#8217;m a big fan of bringing nature into our homes. My favorite nature inspired graphics is the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=14514&#038;userID=103603&#038;productID=458234343" target="_new">7.00 Wall Graphic</a> which comes with <span class="bigpink">seperate branches, branch nodes, leaves, and birds so you can arrange it all however you like</span>. I really appreciate the modular setup Blik has with their wall stickers so the customer has more creative freedom with their decor. Buy some for your own place, or <strong>send them as a gift</strong>, either way they will surely bring a smile to those who get to enjoy them daily.</p>
