Obviously, my plan for a weekly series on on the “12 Crucial Consumer Trends for 2012″ got pre-empted by my big move to Seattle, but I’m trying to get back into the groove here and it’s even a Tuesday. Let Trend Tuesdays recommence!

My first post in this series was Red Carpet, in which I examined retailers’ current fascination with all things Chinese, including the wallets of the fastest growing consumer audience in the world. Today’s topic: DIY HEALTH

After my first ride at Recycle Studio, I was hooked; I never expected to find myself a spin person, but I’m certainly a devoted Recyclist.

Everyone seems to be talking about this right now but after reading this article I’m beginning to question the sanity of all of the celebrities who claim to be doing this. Another was the Twitter Diet. Huh?

Love in a Bottle

 
Love Bottles
 

After reading a recent NPR story about how even plastic without BPA is leaching estrogenic chemicals into whatever it comes in contact with, I was ready to give up plastic water bottles for good. I usually fill a bottle with tap water each night to keep beside my bed for late-night thirst quenching. Time to find a glass bottle – pronto! Well, ask and ye shall receive; yesterday I found a Love Bottle at my favorite local spa. It was exactly what I was looking for. And more, it turns out.
