If you eat it yourself you will feel elated. If you give it to someone else they will feel elated. If you just buy it (not even eat it) you donated money to good causes and spread love in the world. Introducing Intentional Chocolate Which is different than any other chocolate .It is embedded with good intentions by Tibetan Monks and TESTED against non-enhanced chocolate, to show that it increases well being by between 67 and 1,000 percent (research published in a scientific journal details below or I can send you the study.) It is also high quality chocolate the parent company, Hawaiian Vintage Chocolate has been called by the NYT the best chocolate in the world. It was served at Bill Gates wedding and is being used by famous chefs such as Emeril Lagasse. Wouldnt You Eat Chocolate Loved by this Man? Intentional Chocolate infused with Good Intentions by Monks A recent scientific study published in the peer reviewed Journal, Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing in October of 2007, states that Intentional Chocolate increases peoples well-being, vigor and energy by an average of 67% and in some cases 1,000%. There is no gimmick. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that intention invokes measurable power and energy that can manifest across space and time. We have known for years that our thoughts affect our body (mind-matter) in various ways. Now science with new experiments and better measurement devices is able to show that the people who practice intention setting over a longer period of time, like long-term meditators, can have a real impact on matter outside of the body. Intentional Chocolate is using intention to help shift the way humans relate to food by delivering sustenance that nourishes both body and spirit. We have great boxes for the holiday that include -- Gratitude, Peace and Joy. Here is the URL www.intentionalchocolate.com ************************************** 5. Very Eco-Friendly Gift to Give.

This would be an very simple and easy gift to give someone that you may not know well, an unexpected visitor, boss, teacher, office mate, or all the other folks that are on your gift list this season. BeGreen Now has designed a trendy, reusable shopping bag called the BeGreen Pod. Its a fabulous solution for those "green-minded" trend-setters. In several ways, BeGreen has improved this bag from other, more generic reusable bags. The FIRST improvement from other green bag options is that its more convenient because it rolls up into itself, tucking into a ball and includes a carabineer (clip). Shoppers can carry the bag in a purse, attach it to a bag or backpack with the carabineer, or simply stuff it somewhere in their car. SECOND, what makes the bag such a great gift option is the fact that with each purchase, BeGreen will plant a tree on your behalf in a reforestation project. So, not only will buyers help out Mother Earth by using a reusable bag during shopping trips, but theyll also contribute to the absorption of carbon with the planting of a tree in their name. To put that into perspective, the average tree absorbs as much carbon dioxide as a car emits over the span of 740 miles -- the equivalent of driving between New York City and Louisville, Kentucky.

It is also high quality chocolate the parent company, Hawaiian Vintage Chocolate has been called by the NYT the best chocolate in the world.

There is no gimmick. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that intention invokes measurable power and energy that can manifest across space and time. We have known for years that our thoughts affect our body (mind-matter) in various ways. Now science with new experiments and better measurement devices is able to show that the people who practice intention setting over a longer period of time, like long-term meditators, can have a real impact on matter outside of the body.

This would be an very simple and easy gift to give someone that you may not know well, an unexpected visitor, boss, teacher, office mate, or all the other folks that are on your gift list this season. BeGreen Now has designed a trendy, reusable shopping bag called the BeGreen Pod. Its a fabulous solution for those "green-minded" trend-setters. In several ways, BeGreen has improved this bag from other, more generic reusable bags. The FIRST improvement from other green bag options is that its more convenient because it rolls up into itself, tucking into a ball and includes a carabineer (clip). Shoppers can carry the bag in a purse, attach it to a bag or backpack with the carabineer, or simply stuff it somewhere in their car. SECOND, what makes the bag such a great gift option is the fact that with each purchase, BeGreen will plant a tree on your behalf in a reforestation project. So, not only will buyers help out Mother Earth by using a reusable bag during shopping trips, but theyll also contribute to the absorption of carbon with the planting of a tree in their name. To put that into perspective, the average tree absorbs as much carbon dioxide as a car emits over the span of 740 miles -- the equivalent of driving between New York City and Louisville, Kentucky. THIRD, the BeGreen bag is inexpensive and can be purchased online at www.begreennow.com for only $12.95. One other thing to note: If you examine the bag theres a small tag inside that gives some statistics about using the bag, including the carbon avoided and the plastic bags avoided annually and per trip.The BeGreen Pod is ideal and not to mention an environmentally friendly, gift or stocking stuffer for this holiday season. ************************************************** 7.

This would be an very simple and easy gift to give someone that you may not know well, an unexpected visitor, boss, teacher, office mate, or all the other folks that are on your gift list this season. BeGreen Now has designed a trendy, reusable shopping bag called the BeGreen Pod. Its a fabulous solution for those "green-minded" trend-setters. In several ways, BeGreen has improved this bag from other, more generic reusable bags. The FIRST improvement from other green bag options is that its more convenient because it rolls up into itself, tucking into a ball and includes a carabineer (clip). Shoppers can carry the bag in a purse, attach it to a bag or backpack with the carabineer, or simply stuff it somewhere in their car. SECOND, what makes the bag such a great gift option is the fact that with each purchase, BeGreen will plant a tree on your behalf in a reforestation project. So, not only will buyers help out Mother Earth by using a reusable bag during shopping trips, but theyll also contribute to the absorption of carbon with the planting of a tree in their name. To put that into perspective, the average tree absorbs as much carbon dioxide as a car emits over the span of 740 miles -- the equivalent of driving between New York City and Louisville, Kentucky. THIRD, the BeGreen bag is inexpensive and can be purchased online at www.begreennow.com for only $12.95. One other thing to note: If you examine the bag theres a small tag inside that gives some statistics about using the bag, including the carbon avoided and the plastic bags avoided annually and per trip.The BeGreen Pod is ideal and not to mention an environmentally friendly, gift or stocking stuffer for this holiday season. ************************************************** 7.

If you eat it yourself you will feel elated. If you give it to someone else they will feel elated. If you just buy it (not even eat it) you donated money to good causes and spread love in the world. Introducing Intentional Chocolate Which is different than any other chocolate .It is embedded with good intentions by Tibetan Monks and TESTED against non-enhanced chocolate, to show that it increases well being by between 67 and 1,000 percent (research published in a scientific journal details below or I can send you the study.) It is also high quality chocolate the parent company, Hawaiian Vintage Chocolate has been called by the NYT the best chocolate in the world. It was served at Bill Gates wedding and is being used by famous chefs such as Emeril Lagasse. Wouldnt You Eat Chocolate Loved by this Man? Intentional Chocolate infused with Good Intentions by Monks A recent scientific study published in the peer reviewed Journal, Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing in October of 2007, states that Intentional Chocolate increases peoples well-being, vigor and energy by an average of 67% and in some cases 1,000%. There is no gimmick. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that intention invokes measurable power and energy that can manifest across space and time. We have known for years that our thoughts affect our body (mind-matter) in various ways. Now science with new experiments and better measurement devices is able to show that the people who practice intention setting over a longer period of time, like long-term meditators, can have a real impact on matter outside of the body. Intentional Chocolate is using intention to help shift the way humans relate to food by delivering sustenance that nourishes both body and spirit. We have great boxes for the holiday that include -- Gratitude, Peace and Joy. Here is the URL www.intentionalchocolate.com ************************************** 5. Very Eco-Friendly Gift to Give.
