This cake mix seemed good in theory and tasted okay, but overall was a disappointment when compared to either cake from scratch or other boxed cake mixes. The mix, which claimed to make two 8-9 inch round cakes, barely made one 8 inch cake. When we cut into it, it was flavorful, but dry and spongy...

This was another prize I collected at the Green Festival last weekend from the Rainbow Grocery Co-op booth. The scent of this cream is great, citrus-y but mild and not overwhelming. The consistency was like softened whipped butter, yum! It felt great going on and left my skin feeling smooth and...

While I applaud Dr. Bronner's inventive new lotion scents, the orange ginger one is very intriguing, this combination left me wanting more. The coconut takes over in this lotion, and I ended up smelling like a baked good. The lotion itself was pretty thin and left my skin a little sticky you the...

Get your daily dose of pomegranate! I got a sample of Pomega-5 Healing Cream at the Green Festival last weekend, and I love it! It smells like a fresh, ripe pomegranate and is really soothing for my dry skin. I think the smell is my favorite for a body lotion in a long time. It is very unique and powerful, but completely real, not at...

Goji in your face This "do everything at once" mask looks a little funny when you open the jar. Then, it smells a little funny when you put it on your face. But when you wash it off, you realize its all worth it. This mask leaves my skin feeling rejuvinated and is especially good at calming redness or irritation...

Organic Cotton Tampons These tampons are great. They work just as well as their rayon-enhanced, non-organic counterparts and are just about the same price. I recommend these to anyone who is concerned about the purity of what goes into their body. The only drawback is that they don't come in Super, so if you have a...

Go Organic Down There GladRags cotton pads are the answer to what used to be my conundrum of using organic tampons during the day and then switching to toxic, synthetic, rayon pads for sleeping. These organic cotton pads are not only pretty (I bought the emerald green ones), but they absorb much more than a synthetic...

Spice Up Your Lotion This lotion starts of with my favorite scent, lavender, and throws in some cardamom for an awesome kick that is unlike any body lotion I have ever tried. The texture is really creamy but not oily at all and absorbs into the skin really quickly. The scent is all natural and lingers, so no need for...

Kleen Your Windows! I bought this product in an attempt to get less fumes out of my house cleaning experience, and it worked. The vinegar-based solution is simple and probably easily concocted at home- but for those of us who are lazy and just want to buy it ready to go in a spray bottle, this cleaner is for us!
