Great smelling and a perfect moisturizer! I came across this brand at the Green Festival in Chicago and was pleasantly surprised. Their body butters are made of shea butter and essential oils--that's it! Most shea butters at stores have mineral oil added--something that isn't that great for your skin. I bought the strawberry-lemon scent...

Simply delicious. Another amazing pairing of fruit and wine in a preserve. One of the tastiest things I've ever encountered. Made of natural ingredients--no high-fructose corn syrup here!

Amazingly tasty! This company makes the best preserves I've ever had in my life. Who would've thought to pair fruit and wine in a preserve? Plus it's all organic and there's no added high-fructose corn syrup like in the jellies at most grocery stores. Highly recommended!

A little strange It said "Improved flavor!" on the front of the container and I cannot help but wonder what the old flavor tasted like. It did freshen my breath. This is different from any mouthwash I've ever had, but by the end of the bottle I had more or less adjusted to it. Don't know if I'll get it again.

Didn't leave that fresh feeling I trust that this toothpaste cleaned my teeth, but 15 minutes after using it I couldn't taste any "fresh" feeling in my mouth. I just worried that my breath was bad while using this stuff. Close friends said it wasn't, but I won't buy it again.

A great tea! I have really been enjoying this 100% natural herb tea. It is tea from peppermint, not some other tea with peppermint flavor added (what the competitors do). Very tasty and leaves your mouth feeling minty fresh. I also appreciate it is naturally caffeine-free.

Works great, but has parabens This is the powder meant to go on over foundation, blush, eye shadow, and any other make-up. It works well to finish things off and hold it all in place, but unfortunately it is the one item in the line that contains parabens. Plus if you use the foundation this really isn't necessary, so for...

Just eat a real burrito instead If you absolutely must eat a frozen burrito, Amy's Organic burritos are probably better for your conscience than the other frozen burritos. As far as nutrition and tastebuds go, nothing frozen can beat the real thing.

A pretty good mac 'n cheese The Annie's mac 'n cheese shells w/ white cheddar is probably my favorite mac 'n cheese. Add peas to it for some added flavor (and nutrition). It's about as cheap as the other stuff, but is completely organic. Mac 'n cheese isn't the healthiest meal, but if you have to eat it, this is the way to...

Reduces acne, plus helps your skin look good at night When my acne was really bad, I felt more confident hanging around make-up-free when I had this night powder on. It covers up blemishes so you look better at night, but that actually isn't the point. It reduces blemishes and wrinkles. I saw a noticeable improvement in my skin after using it. The...
