I don't leave home without it!

My favorite of all the lip balm flavors is peppermint. Everytime I use it I feel refreshed and the essential oils really pack a punch. Go out and buy one today and you will see what I mean. Great lip balm, great company, great buy in my opinion.

By far my favorite

Ecos laundry detergent works great and smells great--thanks to essential oils. I like to buy the economy size at Costco which also cuts down on packaging. It is pretty affordable when I do that and that way I have plenty of Ecos for the year.

Review of Magic Soaps

Dr. Bronner is my hero

I pretty much love all of the Dr. Bronner line but especially the peppermint Magic Soap. Cleans great--no harsh chemicals--organic--what more can you ask for? Oh yes-- community involvement. Dr. Bronner is also involved in donating money through his line Dr. Bronner and Sun Dog to a program called Fair Shake that helps reintroduce formerly incarcerated people into society.

Mrs. Meyers is Mrs. Clean revised

I love Mrs. Meyers products! Her products work great and the scents are fresh and derived from essential oils. The only downside is the price. I wish the price were lower--I find that in this day and age when you can get more green products on the market, I can usually find a competitor that is priced lower. However, when she goes on sale I am quick to buy anything from the lemon verbena line.

Method

I've used a couple of their laundry detergents and although I like the idea of their company, I questioned how natural they really are. If you don't list exactly what is on your product and use vague terms like "surfectants", I am going to have some questions. Some of their products smell artificial to me. I seek out essential oils only and not fragrances so I have had trouble with their questionable labeling. I'm not sure, maybe they have gotten better. They still are trying to be a green company and I applaud their efforts.

Can't get enough

My boyfriend and I seemed to be addicted to Organic Raw Kombucha. GT's Kombucha comes either as 100% Kombucha (which is the fermented tea) or as 95% Kombucha + 5% fruit juice, which is their Synergy line. I've tried most of the flavors of their Synergy line and I find that Divine Grape (5% grape juice and just enough to make it sweet) is the best. My boyfriend can't get enough of the Trilogy drink that is a mixture of 3 fruit juices. It is hard for me to find a healthy drink other than water and this seems to fit the bill perfectly. Most of the drinks of the Snergy line come with beneficial bacteria and are low in sugar. I like the carbonation aspect that some flavors have, but you'll find that some flavors ferment better than others. Try it if you are looking for something different and organic :)

This product is gentle on your skin and great for the environment. I use the Free and Clear, so there is no perfumes or dyes that are harsh on the skin.
