Our pals at LeafyGreen.info have posted a review of the Angel Baby Kit from Earth Mama. I don’t know many people who want to dip their newborns in harsh chemicals, so products like these are certainly appealing. Earth Mama claims to use only the finest ingredients in their soaps, lotions and other products. Vegan and free of artificial things. Check out the review by clicking the link below.

Have you seen that new AT&T commercial featuring a guy named Blake Mycoskie, who informs viewers that he is the Chief Shoe Giver for TOMS Shoes? It turns out that he is, in fact, who he says he is. 

TOMS is a cool company - for every pair of shoes they sell, the company gives a pair of shoes to a child in need. To date, TOMS has donated over 140,000 pairs of shoes to needy children. If you have a problem with that, you’re probably a shitty person.

TOMS makes shoes for men, women, kids and babies, with vegan choices available.

If you think you want to buy a house, now is definitely the time. If you have a giant mortgage payment, now is the time to negotiate something better for yourself.

Before I re-financed, I had a 7.45% interest rate on my condo. I don’t know about you, but I hate paying interest when I don’t have to. After re-financing, my wife and I secured 5%. Way better.

Although true revolutionaries know it’s absurd to think one can own a piece of God’s Green Earth, now is a great time to buy if you’re thinking of making a home purchase. Interest rates for a 30-year fixed mortgage are below 5% as of this blog entry, which is totally cheap or something.

Under President Obama’s new guidelines, first-time home buyers now qualify for a tax credit of up to $8,000. That is pretty sweet, and you can read about it here:
