Summer in Michigan provides an abundance of colorful produce to choose from and tons of farmers markets to find your favorites.
Fruits and vegetables are an important part of to a well-balanced, nutrient dense diet. They are nature’s fast food and provide many vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber for overall good health.
As far as the nutritional value of fruits and vegetables, if fresh is not an option at the time, frozen is the next best choice. Canned fruits and vegetables would be your third best option, but really, it is better to have them any way you can.
I would like to see you eating fruits and vegetables. Period. But don’t forget, if you are purchasing canned vegetables, try to get the “no salt added” variety for better health.
There are so many different kinds of produce that it is sometimes hard to keep track of what is in season. Here is a list of fruits and vegetables that are in season this summer in Michigan:
Being associated with Tupperware over the past few years, the most common question that people ask me is "why should I buy a Tupperware product when there are seemingly good alternate options at the local supermarket at a cheaper price"...well, the answer is all too obvious. I am listing a few points below for you to read:
Healthy - no compromise when it comes to your family: All Tupperware products are made from safe, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic materials; thus they do not release harmful chemicals to food or liquid contents. Materials & Additives used exceed US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) & Japan Polyolefin Hygienic Association standards. What it means is that you can use with peace of mind every time!
Colour Safe:One can enjoy the attractiveness of Tupperware Products in fabulous trendy colors and be assured that colorants used are safe.
Top quality and finish:All products have passed stringent tests and are built to last. Its design and smooth finishing make Tupperware products a delight to hold and use for any occasion. The high quality and standards are reflected in its typical single product mold costing over USD$100,000, a sum equivalent to 7 mid-sized cars!
Innovative Design: Tupperware products are designed to inspire. Unlike ordinary plastic products, many Tupperware products have won worldwide awards such as Industrial Design Excellence Awards, Reddot Award, IF Seal Award and numerous others. Indeed, one can use Tupperware with pride!
Microwave safe: Where Tupperware products are indicated for microwave used, Tupperware uses materials strictly meant for microwave use & adhere with the following bodies: USA -Toxic Substances Control Act Inventory (TSCA), Canada - Domestic Substances List (DSL), Europe - European Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances (EINECS), Australia - Australia Inventory of Chemical Substances (AICS), Korea - Korean Existing Chemical List (KECL), Japan - Japanese Inventory (ENCS)
Environment Friendly:Tupperware plays its role in saving Mother Earth from further pollution and degradation as its products are designed for long term use. On the other hand, plastic bags and bottles, Styrofoam containers and PET bottles are not made for repeated use, and thus adds to the mountain of garbage.
And last, but not the least:
BACKED BY TUPPERWARE LIFETIME WARRANTY!
Buying with confidence is assured with Tupperware products that are guaranteed against chipping, cracking or peeling under normal noncommercial use for the lifetime of the product. When a Tupperware product shows a defect in material or function, you may visit any Tupperware Business Center or call me for a free replacement.
So, a Tupperware product is not only healthier, safer, better in quality, has great design, and environment friendly, but it is also a more economical product to buy. You see, your product lasts you your lifetime :)

In the last 70+ years Tupperware has empowered women to lead a life of freedom, health and service, there’s one thing we might not be incredibly well-known for – that being, we’re the plastic company that reduces plastic waste. The truth of the matter is that we’ve been sustainable before sustainable was even cool.
When Earl Tupper designed the world’s first multi-use plastic bowls, he did so with the intention of cutting down on food waste. In an age where consumers become activists against the seas of trash we see splashed across our social media feeds, it’s an understatement to say that Earl Tupper was ahead of his time.
With a catchy anthem, we sing “We are the solution to the pollution.” It’s a bold statement, but we have the products to back it up in a big way.
We’ve rounded up 5 of our favorites that will help you lead the most sustainable life possible.
Eco Straw
Introducing the last straw you’ll ever need. The number of single-use plastic straws you use in a lifetime is almost 2x the number of known fish species living in the ocean. What’s more, over 8.3 billion single-use straws pollute beaches the world over. You already know that single-use straws are steadily being banned by enterprises and governments the world over, but we say why ban something so useful? And why not help solve the problem that already exists? Enter the ECO Straw. It’s reusable, washable, long-lasting and is made from repurposed plastic.
It’s circular material and design is probably the best part – it’s made from mixed plastic waste! This new material reflects Tupperware’s commitment to promote a more circular economy, one where plastic waste and materials are used, reused and repurposed. The ECO Straw is the first product in our new collection produced in this revolutionary material.
We love the patented needle tip that allows for a more comfortable drinking experience and the versatile length can be adjusted to fit large and small cups. Shop our Eco Straw here.
Eco Water Bottle
Repeat after us: Tupperware plastic is safe. Not only is it safe, but it helps to cut down on every day trash, like single-use water bottles. Our Eco Water Bottles are the reusable, waste-reducing and safe solution. Our sizes run the gamut, and we have a color for just about every mood (and outfit) and as usual, every product we sell is dioxin, phthalate and BPA free. Find your size and color here.
Like we mentioned earlier, our roots are in preventing food waste. When you have leftovers or want to cook ahead for the week, our Vent ’N Serve® product line is the one you’ll need to store, preserve and reheat to delicious origins. It’s unbreakable, microwaveable and stackable. You can also freeze for later, since they come a variety of shapes and sizes to stack neatly in your freezer or fridge. To serve, simply thaw, “pop” the valve tab up, reheat in the microwave and take it directly to the table!
Microfiber Towels
Clean your home from top to bottom while reducing your house’s carbon footprint. Meet your preferred housecleaning partner. Tupperware’s Microfibers offer a complete range of micro synthetic fibers combining the advantages of Polyamide and polyester. Polyamide has a high capacity to absorb water, fat and residues. Polyester is capable of cleaning and polishing with minimum residue. Microfiber has one of the finest deniers of any textile. It is a filament that has been divided by a specific treatment in order to increase its absorption capacity for perfect cleaning. Tupperware’s Microfibers require less or no use of chemical products, making them a good product for families with babies and young children. The Microfibers are reusable and don’t necessarily require chemical products to clean. Economical and eco-friendly, it is the perfect product for people who want an efficient product without extra costs to use it.
Buying in bulk and storing in bulk has never been easier. We also think 2020 is a dandy year to overhaul your pantry and give everyone kitchen envy. The seals ensure bug-proof storage and keep food fresher longer. Unique containers come in varying shapes and heights to allow you to fully customize your kitchen. Containers stack up equally—a “1” and a “2” stacked together equal the height of a “3”. This saves space on your shelf. Shapes work together, two Ovals fit atop a Square, a Square and an Oval fit atop a Rectangular. Each container is designed with a polished window to reveal what (and how much) is inside. This eliminates the need to remove containers from the shelves or to open the seals to see what is inside.
We hope that the message is ringing loud and clear: plastic in itself is not bad. It’s an integral part of our day to day, a crucial building material in things like our TVs, cars, etc. It’s when plastic is disposed of irresponsibly that it becomes dangerous. Half of all plastic produced is wasted at the end of its multi-use life. Tupperware helps you reduce the amount of plastic waste coming from your house by giving you products to be more responsible and healthier.
SO, can you say it with us?! 1, 2, 3… There is NO time to waste!

Fundraising events are a popular form of fundraising. While they can be great money makers for an organization, they can also be time consuming and expensive. The success of events depends on careful planning. (Yes, you should have a written event plan for every event you hold!)
To help you ensure that your fundraising event is a winner, here are ten major components that you must incorporate into your event plan:
1. Purpose:
Before doing anything else, you must decide what the purpose of your event is. Is this truly a fundraising event? Or does it have other goals? Perhaps your organization may be hoping to raise money at the event, but the main function of the event is to gain publicity, or reach out to a new network. Many charitable events have more than one goal. Figuring out the details for your event will depend on knowing what goals you are trying to achieve.
2. Fundraising Goal:
In conjunction with the event host committee, organization staff, and key fundraisers, you must decide what amount of money you plan to raise at the event. If this is truly a fundraising event, then everything in the event plan will be geared to raising this specific amount of money. The amount you choose should be what you hope to net, that is, the amount you plan to raise after expenses are deducted.
3. Budget:
Every fundraising event plan should contain a complete budget listing all of the expenses that will be required to hold the event. Your budget should include staff, invitations, space rental, catering, entertainment, transportation, security, utilities, and anything else that will be required to make the event a success. Your budget should take into account your fundraising goal, ensuring that you raise that amount above and beyond all expenses. Be sure to leave a little extra room in your budget for unforeseen costs.
4. Leadership:
As part of your fundraising efforts, your event will most likely have a “host committee” and one or more “host committee chairpersons.” These people are responsible for contributing substantial amounts to the event and encouraging others to do the same. The host committee is generally composed of wealthy donors, business leaders, or local celebrities. The host committee and chairpersons are not responsible for actually running the event, but are integral to ensuring that you reach your fundraising goals.

5. Target Audience:
Who is the target audience for your event? Is this a general fundraiser where everyone will be invited? Or is this event geared towards a specific group like business people, parents, or young professionals? In short, you must decide whom you will invite to your event.
6. Set – Up:
Your event staff should plan the event set-up well in advance. The set-up includes all of the particulars of the actual event: Where will it be? Will food be served? Will there be entertainment? What kind of dress will be required? What is the itinerary for the event?
7. Marketing:
Just like a new product, your event needs to be aggressively marketed to your target audience. You need to convince your supporters that your organization and event are worthy of their time and money. Draw up an entire marketing plan for the event. Possible methods of “getting the word out” include: using your non-profit’s fundraising network, mailed invitations, direct
mail, phone banks, word of mouth and the event host committee.
8. Sales:
Once you market your event, there must be a procedure in place for making the actual ticket sales, or accepting donations for the event. You must decide whether there will be different contribution levels for the event (such as a flat ticket charge, an extra charge to be invited to a V.I.P. reception in addition to the event, etc.). You must decide who will sell the tickets, how they will be shipped or delivered, and who will be responsible for organizing the incoming information.
9. Practice:
While you probably won’t need a full run-through of your event, it is essential that everyone who is working the event know, ahead of time, what their responsibilities are, where they should be during the event, and how the event is going to “flow.” If you are having a large or unusual event, the key event staff may want to have a practice run to make sure that your operation is running smoothly.
10. Thank – You:
One of the most oft heard complaints from contributors to charitable fundraising events is, “They never even said ‘thank-you.’” Ditto for your event volunteers. Make sure that the organization takes the time to send thank-you notes to everyone who is involved in your event, including contributors, volunteers, staff and vendors. Keep your donors happy… you’re probably going to be asking them for another donation sometime down the road.
