Here’s the latest stuff that’s sure to please from shelfreliance.com! We have some new favorites and old classics to share today, so let’s get to it!

go towel 2 285x300 Whats New: Some Things Old, Some Things NewGo! Towels (Pre-Moistened, 100% Cotton Washcloths)

One of my supervisors asked me to give these new towels a try and write a product description about them. I was perfectly happy to do it, of course, but I have to say that I was really surprised at how much I liked them! I guess I was expecting a baby wipe or something of that nature – something that would feel sticky, flimsy, and totally disposable. Of course, it says right on the package that the washcloths are made from cotton, so I guess I should have known better. As it turns out, the Go! Towels are made of sturdy cloth that you can wash and reuse over and over again. They also have a real lemon scent, which is actually anti-microbial and insect-repellent. I really enjoy this product, and I plan on using the towels on car trips and hot days in the garden. I’m sure they’d be great for parents trying to clean up their kids’ hands and faces, as well as for runners or outdoor enthusiasts who want a little extra refreshment during a long trek.

Before THRIVE came along, did you ever expect for food that looked like this …

6 grain pancakes 300x200 Making It Work: Send In Your Nominations!

… to come from your food storage?

taco soup 300x199 Making It Work: Send In Your Nominations!

Yeah, me neither.

vanilla bean custard 300x246 Making It Work: Send In Your Nominations!

These recipes were all created by people who have figured out how to make their food storage work for them.

Food storage is meant to give you peace of mind and flexibility. It’s meant to ultimately make life easier. It is not meant to induce fits of rage, nor to be a source of intimidation, and it should never result in meals that are only good for heightening your gag reflex. Still, it can be a hard lesson to learn. Most of us have a little baggage when it comes to food storage. Maybe you’ve got wretched memories of being forced to can peaches when you were a young’un, or maybe you’ve only recently been introduced to the concept and are embarrassed to find that everyone and their dog has gotten a head start. Whatever your story is, everyone has a different path to journey on before they get to the perfectly-organized, flawlessly-planned food storage future that’s somewhere in the distance, and if you’re lucky, you might find some folks along the way to lend a helping hand. That’s where the Shelf Reliance blog steps in.

We’re looking to find people who are Making It Work – people who’ve got a handle on this food storage/emergency preparedness thing and are willing to share their tips, tricks, and encouragement with the rest of us. If you think you know someone (or if you are someone) who fits the bill, please send an e-mail to: sara.hanks@shelfreliance.com. Include the words “Making It Work” in the subject line.

We’re looking to start a recurring feature here on the Shelf Reliance blog dedicated to profiling these awesome people and getting the scoop on their techniques, so your nominations will be much appreciated!
