AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING. We’ve been slapping ourselves to check if we were dreaming. But we weren’t! We are in the current issue of Entrepreneur Magazine! Special Thanks to Yak About It. We were fortunately enough to be on YAI’s website and selected for the mag. Thanks for everyone’s support so far! Press like these are amazing because we are not even 1-year-old yet!
A little bit more info on Yak About It:
YAK ABOUT IT–featured products all started off as ideas, ideas culminated from ordinary people like you and me. The people behind these inventive products had the courage to change their lives as they once knew them and take a risk on their dreams. This vision to bring a product to market and to start a company is not all-encompassing; it’s not a dream shared by everyone. The learning process, hard work, cash investment and time make it all the more special for inventors and independent entrepreneurs when their ideas are brought to market. The problem is that once a product is ready to sell doesn’t mean that a sale is guaranteed. It’s not that the invention or creative product is useless; rather, the product lacks awareness.

12.14.2009 Green Baby Guide: The Four Wackiest Green Gifts.
Although we hardly qualify for practical baby gifts (but hey, babies do love us), we are super honored and thrilled to be listed as Green Baby Guide’s 4 Wackiest Green Gifts. Not to mention EcoJoe always loves to give any already stress out new parents some much needed relieves!
Searching for a somewhat bizarre gift for your eccentric uncle or this year’s white elephant gift exchange? The following four are somewhat functional but mostly just weird presents for your holiday list.
If someone you know is struggling to sell a house this holiday season, they may need Ecojoe—the Original Eco-Friendly St. Joseph Statue Home Selling Kit. Who the heck is St. Joseph? He’s the patron saint of real estate. For years he’s been buried in the yards of those hoping to find an interested buyer. Does anyone really need an eco-friendly, biodegradable statue of a saint? Probably not, but it is a fun gag gift that may bring stressed out homeowners a laugh.
The I Am Not a Paper Cup mug is wonderfully deceptive. Crafted from a ceramic mug and a silicone lid, it looks identical to a paper cup but is far eco-friendlier.
We’re sure you’ve been asking yourself, “How can I spoil my feline friend with eco-friendly products?” The Green Organic Eco Friendly Cat Bundle of Products is a helpful kitty gift basket that includes citrus magic litter box odor eliminator and bath wipes—among other essential cat grooming items!
Our favorite eco-friendly gift is the Elephant Poo Poo Paper Notebox. Yes, this thick, high quality note paper is made from elephant dung. Recycling the feces of large mammals has never been such fun!
Have you come across any fun eco-friendly products lately? We’d love to hear about your finds!
If you’re one of the folks who has buried a statue of St. Joseph on a property in the hopes of getting it to sell faster, here’s something to think about.
Joseph was a carpenter (the actual translation is more “builder,” which means he worked with wood, clay, stone, whatever). The point being, he’s a guy who worked with natural materials.
So a plastic statue doesn’t exactly do right by him, does it? No offense to whichever Chinese company is turning them out, but a cheap plastic toy doesn’t exactly demonstrate a full measure of devotion, does it?
Further, those plastic statues are forever. They’re unnatural. Would a man who worked with wood and clay and stone approve of something like that?
One company thinks the answer is “No,” and it’s got an alternative: The $14.95 EcoJoe — a statue of St. Joseph made of clay, part of an “eco-friendly home selling kit.” Even the packaging is “printed with soy-based ink on 100% post consumer paper.”
Much more in line with what Joseph himself would use, huh?

It definitely has been an amazing year, largely due to joining the fabulous women of Make Mine A Million after winning the business competition (it’s now in a year-long business race format). And all that wouldn’t happened if Nell didn’t have the vision or the balls to start something to change the world.
