We have so many options about where we can make changes in our lives as we start each New Year. The most popular resolutions for 2011 include managing debt, quitting smoking, losing weight and my personal favorite of reducing one's carbon footprint. Bookmans Phoenix resolved to share with our community some of their favorite local businesses. Join us at noon Saturday, Jan. 22 as we host members of Local First Arizona who will be in store to showcase their products and services.

Shift into a New You by taking the pledge to shift 10% of your spending habits to a locally owned business and in so doing, help your local economy. Our friends at Local First Arizona have made it easy to find our your impact with a Shift the Way You Shop calculator. Additionally, you can check out their directory of local businesses, a sampling of which will be at Bookmans Phoenix on Saturday.

Starting at noon, Bashas' will be on hand to show our customers healthy eating alternatives along with free samples. Ecosaurus will show off their amazing line of eco-friendly paper products and Wei of Chocolate will welcome you into a world where organic dark chocolate comes alive with the power of herbs and spices! Massage Makers will offer free sample massages from noon to 2 p.m. in our community room while Peace In The City Yoga Studio will host a free workshop and class from 2 to 3 p.m. Learn the benefits of a peaceful lifestyle with yoga. Enter to win a basket full of goodies from our favorite local businesses along with a variety of door prizes just for attending.
