love the concept, could taste better I came here with my vegan friend. I love the concept of this place- rice bowls and tofu and steamed veggies. Simple, healthy, tasty food. Good for your body and good for your soul. I really wanted to love this place, but I just didn’t think the food was that delicious. I ordered the curry bowl...

thin-crust pizza yumminess During my stay in San Francisco (I’m visiting from the east coast), my sister has taken me to eat at many excellent restaurants, and Pauline’s is one of my favorites. They have great thin-crust pizza and salads, using fresh organic local ingredients. We ordered a split pizza- half of the meat...

great toothpaste i agree with Haru and Michelle-- this toothpaste leaves my mouth feeling fresh, unlike some other natural toothpastes i have tried. i have only been using Jason's for a couple of weeks, so i am not sure about long term effects (whitening, preventing cavities, etc), but i like the way it makes my...

Most delicious bread, especially if you love olives! my friend was excited to introduce me to this bread at the Berkeley farmer's market last week. i thought we'd get a baguette and share it, but she insisted on getting her own, convinced that once i sampled hers, i would want my own too. she was right. the baguette was still warm, the texture light...

too chewy? well chew on this: no sulfur added! My sister enjoys dried fruit and so I thought I'd get her some some Frog Hollow dried nectarines from the Berkeley Farmer's market. Well my sister didn't love the dried nectarines. She complained that they were too tough, too chewy. She compared it to the soft dried apricots she usually gets...

washing dishes is one of my favorite activities... ...because it brings back wonderful childhood memories. years of scrubbing stacks of dishes, pots, and casseroles with my sister at family holiday gatherings. we had a system down, could have been a dishwashing duo for hire. but we never did it for money. we did it because we loved it (because...

Viva la Gravity Bar! and Simple Green for keeping it clean! There used to be the best organic vegetarian cafe/juice bar in Seattle called Gravity Bar Restaurant and I used to work there. Sadly, it closed a couple of years ago, and many of us were left confused and disheartened. But this is another story. I am here to review Simple Green. Simple Green is...

i hate flat hair, i love MOP I discovered MOP's lemongrass hair lift (spray) 5 years ago at a corner convenience store in Manhattan, NY. I was tired of sticky, chemical-smelling hair sprays that weighted down my hair and made me feel unnatural. I generally hate using product in my hair, but I also hate having flat hair, so...

is it really natural? Biolage's "special balancing agents". I began my green kick a few years ago and one of the products I felt good about using was Biolage, because it uses natural ingredients. I’ve taken a break from Biolage since, mostly because I can’t afford it anymore (very expensive), but decided to review it here because I think (thought) Biolage...

Straus is the boss. Yogurt is one of the foods I eat that MUST be organic. I’m not sure if it is all in my head or for real, but when I eat non-organic yogurt I taste the chemicals. It must be the artificial flavoring. Anyway, I’m always on the lookout for new good organic yogurts, and I finally found one I think I...
