Is it just my perception or does traveling by train still hint at a bit of romanticism and adventure? Riding the rails is still my personal preference for traveling around Europe – love the great views of the countryside, the sleek look of the trains and speed at which they travel. It’s like watching the Travel Channel but a whole lot better because you know that at the end of the ride, you’ll be someplace fabulous. Railpass.com – the largest single railpass outlet in the U.S, has over 60 types of rail-passes available, making them the ideal choice for destinations the world over.

We hope you’ll take a look at our entire PETS category, as each of our vendors has specialty items that our furry family members have come to rely upon for their welfare and comfort. In addition to our featured retailers, be sure to check out Pets United (dog.com) with its unique links to horse.com, ferret.com, bird.com and fish.com. Don’t know why they don’t have cat.com but perhaps it’s in the works. Not to worry tho, you’ll find plenty of fun stuff to please even the most finicky of felines in our other PET category brands.

Though ‘modern lifestyle’ has become something of a generic term, Feel More Human makes it clear that progressive, functional design can be as beautiful and relevant as ever. They promote a lifestyle that encourages the constant re-examination of commerce and philosophy by engaging in socially responsible business practices and by arguing the point that art should meet the needs of society without a distinction between form and function. A perfect example of this can be found in Feel More Human’s Dogs and Cats category. Simple, eye-catching, functional designs turn those “problem” areas in your home into artful pieces you will be eager to show off. My personal favorite being the eco-friendly Buddha Cat Habitat that literally turns your self-important cat into wall décor. However, my cat sized, self-important Chihuahua would vote for the retro looking Wowo Dog Pod or Wowo Single Feeder — the dog has exquisite taste, what can I say?

UnCommon Goods is one of our favorite retailers for its clever products and interesting designs. They have a vast assortment of unique must-have items from a range of categories, but what really caught my attention was their extensive collection of birdhouses and feeders. Truly different and broad in aesthetic, every type of bird lover out there will be able to find something that will match their style, sensibility and yard, porch or garden. Here are three of Uncommon Good’s radically different designs that give the birds in town great reason for stopping by or moving in. The Glass Donut feeder is an incredibly sleek and modern establishment for your feathered friends to dine while the Vintage Radio Birdhouse couldn’t be a more charming place to call home. If those two choices are too posh for you and your sparrows, you may prefer the 5th Wheel Birdhouse — this miniature 1950’s trailer home is retro-fabulous and after Astroturf makes the best accent to any tattoo, Elvis and apple pie lover’s patio.

I think we are all in agreement when I say it doesn’t get much better then being a pampered pet!

From the newest family addition to old faithful, your dog will feel nothing but love, peace and pampering from anything Organic Style.

What to get dad for Father’s Day was always a dilemma for me. After I outgrew the obligatory, but well appreciated, tie or after-shave phase, it became my annual obsession to find either a good book or obscure recording to add to dad’s collection. Were I to be shopping for him today, the obscure would have been so much easier to find and the options of how to deliver those finds are just too numerous to count. My favorite is the Sony Digital Reader …how very convenient for avid readers, especially if those readers happen to be dads as well!

From grads to dads and brides, June is the triumvirate month of gift giving occasions. In this section we look at GRADS, from both high school and college. What’s the ultimate graduation gift?

We’ve pulled from our list of retailers to find gift ideas to congratulate the broad spectrum of grads in on their accomplishment…

On Mother’s Day, May 11, 2008, we invite everyone to remember Rosa Parks, the Mother of the Modern Civil Rights Movement, by giving bouquets of lush, vibrant red, long-stemmed, long lasting Freedom® roses to the women you know who have made a difference for freedom, whether by influencing their own personal emancipation or by helping others in achieving theirs.

The first 381 persons to purchase the Freedom® roses will have the opportunity to write a brief dedication to their special person that will be posted on the Rosa Parks website. In addition to honoring your distinctive person, sales of the specially marked Freedom® roses will benefit the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development, which is the legacy organization that Mrs. Parks co-founded with Elaine Eason Steele in 1987.

Why is the number 381 significant? Because that’s how many days a citywide bus boycott led by Martin Luther King, Jr. lasted to mark her courageous act in 1955 to remain seated rather than to stand aside while on a crowded, segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Her quite determination to remain seated and subsequent arrest for making that decision ultimately changed the course of our nation. On February 1, 1956, the Montgomery Improvement Association filed suit in the U.S. District Court, challenging the constitutionality of segregated public transportation. In June of 1956, the U.S. District Court ruled in favor of the Improvement Association and the decision declaring segregation on buses unconstitutional was adopted and implemented on December 20, 1956.

We encourage you to take this opportunity to add your ‘freedom fighter’ to the Rosa Parks public honor roll. Visit Organic Style to participate and let the world know whom you want to honor with this distinction. Orders must be received by May 7, 2008 to comfortably meet shipping deadlines. Please pass this e-mail on to others who are advocates for freedom and wish to assist in carrying on the work of Rosa Parks.

I realize we have a very short turn-around on this promotion, but we are happy to honor Mrs. Rosa Parks’ incredible legacy at Mother’s Day with our special 10% contribution offer, matched by another 10% from Organic Style for a total of 20%. We hope you will keep her in your thoughts as well by purchasing these lush, vibrant red roses through our site now and throughout the year to support The Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development.

With Mother’s Day just ahead we thought it might be nice to take a look at some of our wellness and beauty retailers.
