iPad2 vs. Motorola Xoom



Should I buy the iPad or the Motorola Xoom? I have been on one of my journeys and I have finally made a decision but before I tell you my choice I must explain how I arrived at it.
There are certain questions you have to ask before providing a service or purchasing a product:
1. What is the purpose?
2. What are your needs?
3. Will this be a solution?
I have an iPhone and love it so I assumed I would buy the iPad but it is my nature to do my due diligence especially when spending so much money.
Purpose: I needed a more portable and lighter computer to take with me when meeting with clients.
Needs:
1. I design websites, many with flash and needed a tablet with the capability to view these sites when working with clients.
2. I needed a tablet that I could use to work on some of my projects when away from my office.
Solution: The Motorola Xoom- it satisfies all of my needs.
As much as I love the iPad with all of its apps it would not satisfy my needs.
The Motorola Xoom is the same size, is just as light, has the same battery life and is in the same price range.  I was impressed with both tablets but the Xoom was the best solution for me.
What are your needs?
Will you buy the iPad or the Motorola Xoom?

OMG! I am so impressed with My Eco bag!

OMG! I just received My Eco Bag and I'm even more impressed! The quality and the thought that went into this bag is evident.  It comes with a little book of instructions explaining with words and pictures exactly how to place your bags into your cart and the purpose and benefit of each bag.

  • The Glass and Bottle bag (small bag) has fabric compartments to place your bottles in to keep them from clanging together.
  • The Cooler Bag (medium bag) is nice and big and has a zipper to help hold the temperature.
  • The Produce & Vegetable Bag  (large bag) has an anti bacterial liner that makes it easy to wipe clean.
  • The Grocery and Dry Goods Bag (extra large bag) is the actual bag that holds all of the other bags it closes with a zipper and has a handle.
I've purchased one cooler bag that cost more than the My Eco Bag. I didn't think it was possible to be more impressed with this item but I am. 
This is a Must Buy!
Remember, to purchase from my organization, The Women of the Roundtable, and save $5, go to My Eco and use this code 101kotzen.

You will be so glad that you did!
 I would love to hear from you after you have received your bag(s). Email me at karen@lovemylessons.com

Go Green with My Eco Bags!

GO GREEN WITH THE MY ECO
I first saw the My Eco bags on the talk show The Talk. I was impressed with the bag and the fact that the inventor is the daughter of the inventor of plastic bags. I have always been big on recylcing and I love creativity.  I immediately Googled "My Eco bag" and went to the website to learn more.  The more I read the more impressed I became. It is so small and convenient and easy to carry into the grocery store.
I learned that My Eco also has a fundraising program and I belong to The Women of the Roundtable and the WR Charity Foundation and thought this would be a great fundraiser.  I emailed My Eco to find out how the fundraising program works. I immediately received a response  and all of the information from one of their representatives, Jackie.  She answered all of my questions and I had many and set me up within minutes with a special code for my organization.
If you would like to purchase a bag from The Women of the Roundtable and save $5 go to My Eco and use the following code 101kotzen.
The company also sets up partnerships with schools and neighboring grocery stores so if you would like to raise money for you child's school or you have an organization send an email to Jacqueline@getmyeco.com. She was fantastic and can help you.
