It has been awhile since I got and reviewed a Conscious Box. Too long actually. I forgot how much fun it is to get it in the mail and be surprised by all the goodies. Goodies that are generally good for our health and the planet of course. January's box had some especially good stuff too, perfect for starting the year out right. Here is what I got: Far and away my favorite offering was the bag of Hail Merry Choco Macaroons. Heavenly!!!! They are made with organic maple syrup, organic … [Read more...]

Everyone Deserves Clean, Safe Water
I know I take water for granted quite often. How about you? I just turn on the tap and out comes a seemingly limitless supply.
