Review of Bar Soaps by Pangea Organics

2 star rating Review of Bar Soaps August 23, 2007 | Posted in Skin & Body Care

For $7 Pangea Should Stand Outside My Shower with a Warmed Towel I recently bought a $7 bar of soap from Pangea. While the packaging was really beautiful and the soap seems to work (its lathers and smells nice), i don't know if its worth $7. I actually tried to make my own soap a few years back and did a lot of research which made me understand why natural...

Review of Organic Blackberry Jelly by Frog Hollow Farm

4 star rating Review of Organic Blackberry Jelly August 2, 2007 | Posted in Food & Grocery

Great Fruit Taste, Not Too Sweet Frog Hollow is a great farm in Northern Cal that is really known for their stone fruits. I visit their booth at the farmers market every week to get free samples!

This jam was great and not too sweet and has a strong blackberry flavor. All ingredients are organic. The only downside is that...

Review of Strawberry Jam by Mountain Fruit Co.

2 star rating Review of Strawberry Jam August 2, 2007 | Posted in Food & Grocery

Too Much Sugar, Not Enough Fruit this jam is good if you like sugary jams but i prefer a jam that you can actually taste the fruit. I also don't think this product is organic and strawberries are one of the top fruits that experts recommend you purchase ONLY organic since the pesticides really penetrate the skin. Here is a link...

Review of Dark Chocolate with Coconut by Shaman's Vision

1 star rating Review of Dark Chocolate with Coconut July 26, 2007 | Posted in Food & Grocery

Gross Chocolate We had samples of this in our office and this was horrible. It tasted like something i left in the kitchen cabinet for about 10 years and then found at the bottom of a drawer. The coconut flavor makes it taste really artificial on top of the bad taste. And what is up with that name, Shaman's...

Review of Benedetta

5 star rating Review of Benedetta July 26, 2007 | Posted in Skin & Body Care

Benedetta Deodorant Is Amazing Benedetta is an amazing company, i met the founders a while back when they were doing samples at the Ferry Plaza in San Francisco. I have tried "natural" deodorants before but none of them work and have a weird sticky feeling. This stuff is amazing.

It is a spray on deodorant that smells like...

Review of HSBC Bank

4 star rating Review of HSBC Bank May 30, 2007 | Posted in San Francisco, Banking & Investing

A Bank That You Can Feel Good About It's pretty rare for me to write good things about a bank but every time I read the news, there is another article on what HSBC is doing in the sustainability movement. They recently launched a great program that gives you a "green kit" if you open an account with them which has a bunch of cool...

Review of Cafe Langley

4 star rating Review of Cafe Langley April 30, 2007 | Posted in Langley, Restaurants

Great Greek Restaurant in Amazing Location If you haven't been to Whidbey Island in Washington, check it out, it's worth the trip. Once you get there, visit this place. It's a great restaurant that uses local food and the best Greek food I have had in many years. Most of the restaurants on the island are focused on fried/quick tourist food...

Review of Sephora

4 star rating Review of Sephora April 5, 2007 | Posted in San Francisco, Cosmetics & Perfume

Chain Store but Good Selection of Organic/Natural Products I usually am not a fan of chain stores but I have noticed that Sephora is making an effort to carry more natural, organic and preservative free products recently. This the only place that I know who carries the Stella McCartney Care brand which is a great line. They also have Juice Beauty products...
