veggie heaven I have been a member of this organic CSA for two years. Having a farm share is like eating freshly picked vegetables still warm from the sun of your garden, but without the labor of growing and harvesting them yourself (which would be challenging in the 16 square foot yard of a city condo.) I also...

Chock full of antioxidants So I read about this drink on SustainLane and I finally found it at my local Whole Foods. To my delight, I discovered that not only is it fruity and delicious, but it has more than twice the antioxidants of orange juice! And with cold and flu season upon us, that's good news. I'm currently...

Whole food snack bar Larabars are delicious. And if you're following any type of special diet, all the better, because they are vegan, raw, unprocessed, have no added sugar, non-GMO, are gluten-, soy- and dairy-free, and Kosher! Wow! They have lots of flavors- Cashew Cookie is my favorite. I love the lemon too, but...

This yogurt puts all others to shame If you love yogurt, but are concerned about the rampant mistreatment of cows on factory farms and don't want to fill your body with hormones, antibiotics, and other "extras" that are added to many dairy products, you must try Seven Star Farms organic yogurt. The only thing added is acidophilus...

It is staffed by a great group of practitioners, including massage therapists, an acupuncturist, a chiropractor, a psychotherapist, and yoga instructors. They believe in a holistic and integrative approach...

Disappointed in this shampoo I love most of the Avalon Organics products, but the Awapuhi Mango Moisturizing shampoo and conditioner do not moisturize my hair at all. They left my hair feeling and looking dry and unmanageable. For a person with oily hair, they might be okay, but for me the search continues for great shampoo...

Great massage oil I love this massage oil. It has a nice lavender scent and doesn't stain linens. As it's name implies, it is very emollient indeed, meaning it doesn't absorb into the skin right away, making it great for massage. It does eventually absorb, leaving your skin soft and smelling great! It's made of...

Balm for chapped lips, cuts, skin irritation Herbal Ed's Salve is a very soothing balm that comes in a handy little tin. I use it on my chapped lips in the winter. It's also great for cuts and skin abrasions. It is made of olive oil, bee's wax, bee's propolis, comfrey root, calendula flower, chickweed herb, plaintain leaf, mullein ear, and...

If you are taking homeopathic remedies Homeodent Natural Toothpaste by Boiron was recommended by my homeopath because it does not contain any mint (which interferes with some homeopathic remedies.) It comes in 2 flavors: lemon and anise. I've tried both and I prefer the lemon (the anise flavor was too strong for me), which leaves my...

Great unscented body lotion Alba's Very Emollient Body Lotion is the perfect solution if you have dry skin. It feels nice and thick, yet it absorbs well and leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth. And the 32 oz. bottle with the pump is a great deal!
