Ideal Bite

What are a Biter's deepest, darkest secrets?

The Bite:

Wouldn't you just love to know. Write down your own innermost thoughts in a good lookin' and sustainable journal - but don't hide it under your mattress, 'cuz that's the first place snoopers look.

The Benefits:

More trees. Americans already use more than 90 mil tons of paper products per year, so go with recycled versions made from materials other than virgin wood.
Pretty papers. Journals made from alternative (and sustainable) fibers like kenaf and lokta bark are just plain better lookin' than your average spiral notebook.
Getting stuff off your chest. Journals are a whole lot cheaper than visits to the shrink.

Personally Speaking:

Heather's kept a journal since she was fifteen and has a personal blog online. She won't give us the address, but you can check out a page from the past in today's blog.
