Lauri Ann's New Life

I just couldn't hardly wait to get on here after seeing the news last nite. Pepsico has come out and said their "Aquafina" is from the 'Public Water Supply'. Now, I personally don't remember getting any kind of "Quality Control Report" with every bottle of Aquafina I bought. Which PWS are we drinking from when we buy bottled water? What's in it?
Now that Pepsico has rolled over on the bottled water industry, I would think it's only a matter of time before we hear more from other companies. I also think that if Pepsico is putting their source of water on their new labels, they must have an idea of where they think the fight over better labeling on our bottled water is going. It's time for them to get honest! If you missed it last nite you can see the story here- http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/i_video/main500251.shtml?id=3106410n The only sure way to protect yourself is by filtering your own water. Why do we "pay" to put in our bodies who knows what?
Espring was named one of the top countertop filters for your tap in Consumer Reports for filtering out the most possible bacteria from our water. To learn more about Espring visit me at

I just finished blogging on bottled water and how I chose Fiji and look what I found right afterward!

Bottled Water Ad Slams Cleveland, Joke May Be On Them
Ad Puts Cleveland On Defensive Over Water

CLEVELAND -- An advertisement slams Cleveland, but the joke may be on a bottled water company instead.
The battle of the bottled water puts water from Fiji vs. Lake Erie.
The ads for Fiji Water sold around the world proclaim that "The label says Fiji because it's not bottled in Cleveland."
The back of the bottle contains information about trade winds purifying island water -- water not affected by acid rain and other pollutants.
NewsChannel5 learned the ad was tough to swallow for the Cleveland Water Department, which did its own water analysis.
Officials said their test results showed Cleveland's treated drinking water is better quality than Fiji Water. They said Fiji Water had the highest levels of arsenic and other contaminants.
NewsChannel5 held a blind taste test.
"I never had Fiji Water. I thought Cleveland was much more refreshing," one tennis player said.
The taste testers preferred Cleveland water.
"Just not as good as I thought it would be and not worth the price," one man said.
Fiji president Edward Cochran said his company's tests have found much lower levels of arsenic in Fiji Water than Cleveland did. He questions the validity of the city's study, saying it was not an independent test.

Just can't trust anybody!LOL.

I am standing in a gas station mini-mart about 1:00 am after helping a friend out with his project, dieing of thirst, in front of the bottled water. After all the research I've done, and all the articles on bottled water I've read,(see article on http://www.productsandservicesultd.com ) I don't know which one to choose as the healthiest choice. I don't trust any of them! Now I know some of them are just glorified tap water, some can say they are 'spring water' if they come from a manmade hole in the ground (one near a dumpsite), and the reverse osmosis ones that have been stripped of all the good stuff along with the bad. Now I drink a lot of water and unfortunately, I'm not always home where I have access to what I know is good, filtered water. (See the 'e-spring' at http://www.lbeamish.qhealthbeauty.com ) I can understand why consumer's are clammoring for consumer labels on the bottles, and why the International Bottled Water Association is fighting it so hard! What one would I choose if I really knew what I was doing?

I finally ended up with a bottle of 'Fiji-Natural Artisian Water'. It wasn't that I think it's the best. I just know what the others are. Are these the same Artisian's that used to make Olympia Beer?
I figured good for me or not, it took me on a little vacation in my mind to the Fiji Islands. That was more than the others had to offer.
