If flavored water's your thing, then you'll want to keep an eye out for MiO, a new Kraft beverage line of flavorings set to hit store shelves in March. The zero-calorie water flavorings, which come in varieties such as Strawberry Watermelon and Peach Tea, are the company's first new product category introduction since DiGiorno rising-crust pizza launched 15 years ago.

So this is a big rollout, but let's get to the point: How does it taste? The editors at Slashfood took it for a test-drive and found that when it comes to (flavored) water, there's more than meets the eye. Learn the results when you read the full story.

Casa Beta: MIO For Target Gardening Tools

Philadelphia-based MIO, which was founded in 2001 by brothers Isaac and Jaime Salm, produces fun, modern, eco-friendly home furnishings and accessories. I recently featured MIO's new Tyvek textiles, and the brothers are also launching a MIO for Target line this month.

I've been busily testing some of the new MIO for Target products. Since I'm in the middle of Spring gardening mayhem, I first tried out the trowel, cultivator, and weeder ($7.99 each). They're made with bamboo handles and can be hung from your garden shed wall with a jute twine loop. To hear what I thought of these gardening tools, read more

Cool Idea: Tyvek Transitions to the Home Design World

While you may use Tyvek to cover your car or construct your house, I doubt that you use any for home decorating.

While you may use Tyvek to cover your car or construct your house, I doubt that you use any for home decorating. That might be about to change, though.

On April 12, Target will introduce a collection of exclusive eco-friendly outdoor living products designed by MIO, which is known for its green design of sustainable, functional items. The line will include a watering can, trowel, cultivator, weeder, mini herb garden, solar lights, hammock, and composter all made from recycled and renewable materials, and will range in price from $6.99 for the trowel to $99.99 for the composter. I'm excited to see that Target is making an effort to bring sustainability to the masses through good design. I'm loving that curved handle of the watering can, and the compost bin has a beautiful design as well. Can't wait!
