So, I just returned from a VK in Michigan. And it was surprisingly fabulous! I guess I never thought of Michigan as a must-see destination. I was wrong. Tourist highlights: All the lakes (including the obvious– Lake Michigan), amazing sunsets, sand dunes (undoubtedly made to throw yourself down in a series of cartwheels and somersaults), little [...] Ten years ago, I was in a sort of catatonic shock from my dad’s death. I thought my life had been destroyed– most of our possessions were repossessed or sold, we were kicked out of our home and I no longer had a dad. I was just turning 18 and I had no idea how [...]
After finishing my academic *stuff* on Wednesday, I was left with a strange void and question in my mind… “What now?!” The feeling was too much for me So, I went back to my second home (my MAC) and stumbled across a contest for the OWN Network. I was stoked to see [...] I am so hooked on these Zico drinks. They are especially enjoyable after a heated yoga class. Or while laying on a beach somewhere… The best part about Zico is the nutrition label; basically just some coconut water and fruit (in the flavored ones). Zico also offers electrolytes, a potassium boost and has low-acidity. Compare [...] If there’s a veggie burger out there, I’ve tried it. Here are my faves:
Organic Sunshine Burgers. These are divine. They hold up on a grill and are especially good broken up in a tortilla with veggies. I especially like ’em because they are free of textured vegetable protein (TVP). TVP is a highly processed product which causes [...] Thought I would share one of my favorite summer beverages:
Mmmmmm… Honest Tea beverages. I’ve sipped on almost all the flavors, and every one is fabulous. I love ‘em for so many reasons: The teas and punches are organic and fair trade… The unsweetened teas are flavorful… The sweetened varieties use just a bit of organic cane sugar… The [...] I love the message on this bag:
Click here to check out/order shirts and other products with the same message. Here’s my new favorite stir-fry sauce and tofu marinade:
Sweetened with agave, all organic ingredients, 25 calories per tablespoon and only 1 gram of fat– now that’s a good recipe. There’s a nice dose of salt, but not excessive for a bottled sauce. Check out the website for more info. For [...] Looking for a good healthy cereal? Here’s one of my personal faves:
Heritage Flakes from Nature’s Path Organic… yumm. Top with some organic blueberries and it’s breakfast bliss. The cereal is a blend of ancient whole grains; Kamut, wheat bran, spelt, oat, barley, millet and quinoa. It’s low fat, low cal, low in [...] My hubby was in the landscaping business for many years. I was always shocked by the stories he would tell me about how wasteful and toxic the industry is. This is an industry that needs to be cleaned up. First step: Take care of your own health (and others) by NOT using toxic chemicals on your lawn. You’ll save some cash and the [...] Here’s my cowboy salsa recipe and my quick & easy hummus recipe… apologies in advance for my lack of recipe writing skills. I can’t follow them and I can’t write them…
Cowboy/Cowgirl Salsa 1 can black beans 1 can black-eyed peas About 1 pound tomatoes (best with romas), chopped 1/2 [...] There ARE toxic chemicals in our cosmetic products (see earlier post on personal care products, visit the Cosmetic Safety Database, check out Not Just a Pretty Face- book and website). For many years, finding a healthy makeup that actually performed was practically impossible. Thankfully, there has been a lot of progress in the development of quality products that aren’t full of chemicals. This development is making the switch to healthier products much [...]
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 [...] |
