Reusable Bag Ordinance



Across the world, and especially in California, governments are encouraging the use of reusable shopping bags through the regulation of plastic bag bans, recycling mandates, taxes or fees. It is great that we are all transitioning into our reduce, reuse, and recycle communities; in fact, even I Bar Menlo Park will no longer be using any plastic bags for our Zaya Inc retail starting on June 6th, 2013.

At first, this may be an inconvenience, but here are San Mateo County's top five reasons to BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag!)

1. You Save 10₵ -- Each paper bag will cost you a minimum of 10₵ each!
2. No more annoying wasteful pile of non-biodegradable plastic bags cluttering your kitchen.
3. You get to sport a fashionable reusable bag that demonstrates your love for the environment; reusable shopping bags have become one of the newest fashion trends. Famous designers and popular brands are promoting their original shopping bags!
4. You will become very popular with bird watchers as fewer bags mean fewer entangled birds (the birds will really like you too!).
5. And last, but not least, you do your part in making our environment clean and sustainable!

Keep your eye out for those fashionable and reusable totes!

Product Feature – Sugar Flavored Hemp Lotion

What do you think of when you hear these words?

Strawberry Cheesecake

Sugar Lemon Square

Orange Dream

Vanilla Crème Brulee

You probably feel like you just gained 10 pounds reading those scrumptious names. The scent alone of each of these treats is enough to make my mouth drool and my waistline expand!

Savor the aroma without the after-indulgence guilt with Hempz Treats Body Lotion!

Not only do these body lotions smell wonderful, but did you know that Hemp Seed Oil has a number of benefits?

For instance, Hemp Seed Oil is the MOST beneficial product in Tanning oils.  It helps move the Melanoma (pigment in the skin that tans) to the surface of the skin and it helps preserve and protect your tan so that your tan will last longer and stay darker for longer.

Hemp Seed Oil is also an excellent long-term moisturizer.  It pulls moisture from the air and traps it in the skin. 

Treats Body Lotion will be your best friend during the summer months by enhancing your tan naturally, moisturizing your skin and most importantly, leaving you smelling YUMMY while running around town.

The Hempz Treats Body Lotion line is also paraben free and gluten free.

WAIT! Before you start using the Hempz Treats Body Lotion, start of fresh by exfoliating your skin with a delicious Sugar Scrub! Exfoliating allows for the removal of old skin cells and the rejuvenation of new skill cells.

i Bar now offers a set that includes a Sugar Scrub and a Hempz Treats Body Lotion! Purchase the set and save $8.00. You can get both products for just $32!

Get a head start on your summer-licious skin and stop by your local i Bar to pick up your sugar-tastic products!

THANK YOU!

We had a great turnout on Friday and Saturday and enjoyed seeing the different ideas each of you had for your Body Art.
