Today, we get a preview of the Sporty Bean Trim!
Sporty Bean Trim at www.talulahbean.com

The Sporty Bean Trim is all about absorbency. Fast, trim absorbency.
With a Lycra top, Zorb inner, and anti-pill fleece backing, moisture is wicked away and locked away without compromising breathability.
The Sporty Bean Trim is officially available for orders September 1st, but pre-ordering is an option with orders beginning to ship September 1st.

Keeping with Talulah Bean's style, three lucky winners will receive a Sporty Bean Trim in the color of their choice. Simply comment to this post (be sure to include contact information so I can contact you if you win!)

Drawing will close September 1st.

Warmest regards,

Me again, Back with a question about label preferences

2010-05-28T11:47:00.000-07:00

Ok, I admit, I am far from a devoted blogger. Much of my time is spent dreaming up new ways to develop and improve Talulah Bean's products.

An issue has come to my attention and I need your help. A dear friend told me that the label on one of her Beans causes irritation. Now, it is my hope that every woman who uses Talulah Bean products experiences the true meaning of comfort. In order to achieve this, we have two options.

Move the label toward the edge of the wing where it will be overlapped by the snaps.
Place the label on the underside of the pad where it will only be visible when viewing the fleece side of the pad.

I am quite fond of how the Beans look when they are folded, pretty side out, proudly displaying the Talulah Bean label. What would you, Talulah Bean's loyal fans, prefer? Label on the underside or label tucked under the snaps?

Please cast your vote in the poll at the right. After voting, reply to this post and include the phrase "I voted" and you will be entered to win a $10 Talulah Bean gift certificate. Be sure to include your name so you can be identified as the winner. Of course, I welcome your comments as well.

Here is a picture of the adorable yet possibly irritating label.

You Can't Get This in a Bottle

I snapped this picture the other day. This is about thirty yards of fabric 'crisping' in the breeze. No need for fabric softeners or starches when nature takes care of the laundry detail.

That's the ever popular Calypso front and center.

Loving Our Planet

2010-04-21T13:50:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow is Earth Day. A day in which we practice our three Rs. No, not reading, writing, and 'rithmatic, but reduce, reuse, and recycle. A day for reflection upon our beautiful planet and all the reasons we have to love it.

But wait- shouldn't we be living every day like it is Earth Day? Our Earth needs more than 1/365th of our collective love. Now I know that I am likely preaching to the choir since you are obviously a sensible, thoughtful steward of our planet. I would like us to brainstorm the ways in which we can cause of a ripple effect of small changes, starting with ourselves, our friends and families, their friends and families, and so on.

Please comment with ways that you have implemented the three Rs, including ways in which you conserve energy or otherwise positively impact our planet's health on a daily basis.

Not as green as you would like to be? Comment with your personal planet-healthy goals.

As a thank you for brainstorming with me, I will randomly draw two names, one from comments and one from followers of this blog. Winners may select their favorite Bean. Shipping to the US and Canada is always free! Drawing will be held the evening of Sunday, April 25th. Winners will be notified by email, so be sure I have your email address!

*no purchase necessary, void where prohibited. Winners outside of the US and Canada receive up to $4 credit toward shipping fees.

Seeding the Bean Patch

2010-04-19T22:38:00.001-07:00

Main Entry: Erica

Pronunciation: \ˈer-i-kə\

Function: noun
Mother of many sons, wife to devoted husband Jim, driven mom-preneur.

That's me in a nutshell. My family and Talulah Bean are my passions and I am excited to share them with you.

Today was a big day for us. We filled and shipped several orders then took the boys on a tadpole hunt! The boys were mesmerized, noses pressed to mason jars, watching the tadpoles bob around. The tadpoles will remain with us until frog-ified, then we will return them to the pond.

Our family, Jim and me, our sons Harry, George, Tommy, Mikey, and David

A couple things I want to note before I sign off:

There is a poll to your right about backing preferences. I'd love it if you would vote!
Check back often because I will post about upcoming sales, such as the Earth Day sale featuring 20% off all Beans from Earth Day through the weekend.
