| Zola Kids: The All-Natural Choice for Families - Saratoga.com Posted: 24 Apr 2010 04:26 AM PDT  Zola Kids opened on March 10 at 380 Broadway, the former home of The Pink Paddock and offers customers 100 percent natural and organic clothing products, toys, bathing and skin care and newborn essentials. The Earth-friendly boutique is owned by Nicole Wilkie who realized that safe, all-natural products can be tricky to track down when looking for health care products for kids. Wilkie's own two children suffer from eczema and finding natural skin care products was a challenge for Wilkie and her husband. "Treating our kids really opened out eyes to the world of natural and organic products, and we ultimately want to do what's right for our children," she said. "Everything we have at the store is organic and Earth-friendly so it makes shopping convenient. You only have to go to one store to find all of your child's needs." One of the more interesting products sold at Zola Kids are plush stuffed animals called "Fuzz that Wuzz." They come in many different animal forms and are made from recycled water bottles. Purchasing one Fuzz that Wuzz animal saves 10 water bottles from ending up in a landfill! Another Earth-friendly aspect of Zola Kids is that the company has partnered with Trees for the Future, an agroforestry resource center that works with people to improve livelihoods and restore degraded lands to sustainable productivity through planting beneficial trees. Plant a tree and keep things cool: Tree-filled neighborhoods can be up to nine degrees cooler than unshaded streets. Trees also help cool the Earth. Trees give off moisture. More moisture in the air means more rain and more water for all living things. The 200,000 leaves on a healthy 100 foot tree can take 11,000 gallons of water from the soil and breathe it into the air in a single growing season. Trees clean the air: People and animals depend on trees and plants for oxygen. As you breathe in, your body uses oxygen. As you breathe out, it gives off carbon dioxide. Trees do just the opposite. They take in carbon dioxide and then release oxygen (which also helps clean the air)." To learn more about Zola Kids, check out the website at http://zolakids.com or on Facebook. Special orders and online shopping is available through the website. The store is open on Monday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday 12 to 4 p.m., and Wednesday through Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.

| Junior League sale draws thousands of shoppers in first ... - al.com (blog) Posted: 24 Apr 2010 09:12 AM PDT By Val Walton--The Birmingham NewsApril 24, 2010, 11:10AM
Those who were first in line got the earliest access to more than 100,000 deeply discounted items donated by Junior League members. The event, at the former Bruno's Supermarket location at The Summit, continues today until 5 p.m. and runs from 1-5 p.m. Sunday. The threat of bad weather did not deter Birmingham resident LaChelle Adams, who said she loved being among the first groups to get inside. Adams, who was joined by other family members, picked out wall portraits, kids' shoes and clothing. "We make it a family event," Adams said. Caroline Ezelle, the chairwoman for the event, said that by 10 a.m. 1,800 shoppers had come through. The Bargain Carousel benefits about 32 community projects for women and children through sale proceeds, while also offering discounted items for shoppers.
