A good yogurt is hard to find. Many of them are full of artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners and sourced from inhumane and unhealthy dairy corporations. Though I’m mainly a vegan, I tend to crave a yogurt every now and again… and some good cheese… ooh and a bit of ice cream… yummm…
Anyway, back to the yogurt, it’s called SKYR and [...]
If you’ve never perused the website for the Institute of Noetic Sciences then now is the time. I look it up every now and again to see what kinds of funky, out-of-the-box topics they’re discussing. I absolutely love the way the Institute describes their work:
“[The Institute] conducts and sponsors leading-edge research into the potentials and [...]
Imagine this saying wriggling around on a little onesie– how cute! For those attending a baby shower soon– here’s a great gift idea (if you live in MN, pair it with a Sweet Cheeks gift certificate and you’ll make mama and baby very, very happy).
Katie Holley, designer and owner of Swami Baby offers these wonderful onesies and the most adorable [...]
This is a great post to follow “The Irrational World of Alternative Health” from yesterday…
The Center for Spirituality & Healing at the University of Minnesota has some fabulous (and free) modules on integrative therapies. Click here to visit the site and gather education on everything from chiropractic to music therapy. And big bonus for those in health [...]
Not all of Burt’s Bees products are as healthy as would be expected, but they’ve done a solid job in the lip category (well… actually, the majority of their products are safer than most brands). As a bonus, you can purchase the special edition Beeswax Lip Balm and help support research for Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). [...]
Yum. I Just finished fixing and eating the 6 Bean Organic Soup from the Women’s Bean Project. The Women’s Bean Project is a nonprofit organization that produces gourmet foods to sell in specialty shops and on their online store. Women’s Bean Project employs women who are in need of jobs and teaches them job readiness [...]
Ten Thousand Villages is my favorite store of the moment. It’s a fabulous shop that houses tons of handmade, fair trade products- everything from food to jewelry. Mom just got me a beautiful necklace from 10,000 to celebrate my graduation (back in December). It was made by some amazing artisans in Burkina Faso. It feels so awesome to have a [...]
I’m seriously jealous of the diverse varieties of fruits that grow in the warmer climates of the world. For those of us living in the beautifully snow-blanketed landscapes (accompanied by the flippin’ freezing temperatures of winter), “exotic” fruits are just not part of the natural agriculture. If you’re trying to buy local, it can be difficult to stay within [...]
I’m not much of a beer drinker. So, the usual summer BBQ doesn’t have the drink selection that I particularly like. If I plan ahead, I’ll make some tea or ginger ale (find my recipe here), but planning ahead is not something I do particularly well. Thankfully, I have a backup- here’s a handsome picture [...]
My favorite product for the week:
Umm, need I say more? This is chocolate. Delicious chocolates with caramelized bananas and other yummies hiding sweetly inside. The most fabulous part about these chocolates is that the proceeds go to Relief International for the development of a women’s center and to help feed malnourished children in Darfur. You also receive a Relief Beads [...]
