How to Dispose of Your Sniffles
"...One option is to carry a wad of tissues everywhere you go. That's ok, but then what do you do with the disgusting tissues after you've blown? Shove them into your pocket and germify your coat?
That's usually exactly what I do, but through the wonders of being a media professional, I recently got a free sample of Sniffle Buddies, an absorbent wristband that's made from organic cotton and bamboo and is machine washable. The idea is that if you wipe your nose and catch the drips on the band, you can contain germs, eliminate the tissue-wad, and re-use the material instead of running through boxes and boxes of Kleenex..." read more

Germ-fighting products designed to appeal to kids
How it works: If you ever tucked a tissue in your sleeve, you know how the Sniffle Buddy works. .....
Why buy it: First, you won't have to chase your toddler around the room with a tissue hoping you'll get to his nose before his sleeve does. Sniffle Buddies are specifically for toddlers to 7-year-olds but work for adults, too. They're especially suited for running, doing yoga and exercising in the gym.

Sniffle Buddies help kids keep their sleeves clean: The solution you didn't think you needed for the problem you didn't know you had

What sweat bands do for perspiration, Sniffle Buddies do for mucus.
Help!
It's cold and flu season, and the only thing that will make you feel worse than an actual virus is watching your kids wipe their drippy noses on the sleeves of their shirts, sweaters and jackets. What's a parent to do?
Solved!
Scolding a sick kid is pointless, and kinda cruel. It's best to let the poor children wipe away, but with Sniffle Buddies (starting at $9.99 at SniffleBuddies.com) on each sleeve. read more

MOM'S FIGHT BACK ON THE WAR AGAINST GERMS!
A Handful of 'Mompreneurs' are Paving the Way for Products Designed for Germ-Spread Prevention.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Los Angeles, CA - (July 29, 2009) - Once again, the country finds itself heading into one of the most dreaded times of the year: the back-to-school and flu season. With fears swelling of the H1N1 (Swine Flu) Virus gaining momentum again as the weather turns cool, parents are beginning to wonder how to protect their children, the elderly, and themselves.
Introducing three separate 'mompreneurial' companies that have paved the way in the fight against germs.
Germy Wormy®'s Margaret Back, the Sniffle Buddies®' team of Sharon Pevsner & J. Kelly Mayes, and Sniffle Sleeve™'s Wendy Piret, all had the same idea (but with decidedly different executions) last year when they realized that parents and children need to educate and protect themselves against the unwanted spread of illness.
Germy Wormy®
Germy Wormy has been praised by healthcare professionals, teachers and
parents alike as the only educational tool- for children as young as two-years-old to understand and reduce the spread of germs. The Germy Wormy Germ Smart for Kids DVD features a fun and loveable character ("Germy Wormy") who entertains while educating children on WHY it is important to cough and sneeze into their elbow when sick and Germ Stoppers 5 - the Top 5 Things kids can do to protect themselves from getting germs. The revolutionary disposable sleeve fits comfortably over a child's elbow area to catch sneezes, coughs & runny noses, and even complies with the CDC guidelines for protecting illness in preschool-aged kids. The Germy Wormy disposable sleeves 20 Pack retails for $9.99; the Germy Wormy Germ Smart for Kids DVD retails for $24.99. All are available at www.GermyWormy.com.
Sniffle Buddies®
Made out of Bamboo velour, a washable and naturally antibacterial blend of 
Organic Bamboo and Organic Cotton, Sniffle Buddies' wristbands were created for children and parents alike, as an alternative to traditional tissues. The eco-friendly band fits comfortably around the wrist and teaches kids the importance of wiping runny noses on something other than their hand, something which greatly contributes to the spread of illness. The adult sized band is perfect for active moms who suffer from allergies (especially when exercising) while on the yoga mat or out for a hike. Child bands retail for $9.99, the adult size, for wrists larger than 5.5 inches, retails for $10.99. Both are available at www.SniffleBuddies.com.
Sniffle Sleeve™
This collection of washable cotton sleeves come in an array of playful 
colors and patterns, and incorporates a canvas patch where the user can add antibacterial and/or antiviral essential oils recommended on the product packaging. The company blends a line of exclusively organic and wildcrafted therapeutic grade essential oils made specifically for kids, Kanigo EO™ essential oils. There are six different blends of oils crafted tosupport the immune system and ward off the further spread of germs, including Cough, Cough!, Flu and Sinusitis. All blends are from Valerie Ann Worwood's book, "Aromatherapy for the Healthy Child." The sleeves retail two for $18.99; immune support blends vary in price. These products and more are available at www.SniffleSleeve.com.
For media inquiries, please contact Kelly Anderson at Clover Public Relations, Inc. by emailing Kelly@cloverpr.com or call 818-484-8664. Please visit the aforementioned company websites for retail or wholesale ordering information.

Celebrate all things “Green” with the City of Pasadena and the Armory Center for the Arts at the 7th Annual Greening the Earth Day and Family Arts Festival! This free family festival features live music, professional dance performances, arts & crafts for kids, a bicycle tour of Pasadena’s tree canopy, over 60 booths on green products, energy and water efficiency, conservation, recycling and more! This years festival is partnering with the “Lifestraw Challenge” – bring your recyclable beverage containers (CRV-California Redemption Value plastic/glass/aluminum bottles & cans) to raise funds for drinking water for the Lugufu Refugee Camp in Tanzania, Africa. For every 100 CRV recyclables collected a Lifestraw Water Filter will be donated to the refugee camp. One Lifestraw can provide a child with drinking water for up to a year. For more information on the Lifestraw Challenge visit www.communitywithoutwalls.org
