According to a research, the average kitchen wastes approximately $1000 in food per year. Roughly 40% of all food produced worldwide ends up in the garbage. Think of how many hungry people could be fed if we cleaned up our act and actually used what we purchased and thus only purchased what we actually needed. Our budgets would be immediately helped by making a few changes and wasting less food. I know personally I cringe at the idea of throwing away $1000 a year. I can think of many ways I … [Read more...]
NutriPro Cold Press Juicer Review
I have made no secret that I am not really big on juicing. I have a Vita-Mix and we just seem to prefer whole foods juices and smoothies, with all the pulp and juice combined.

Here is our latest recipe. I have been making the popsicles for the kids and I … [Read more...]

I have no "special" circumstances in my life that make this nirvana easier to understand so I think I am just doing something really right with my diet and health of late. The … [Read more...]
January Conscious Box
January 's Conscious Box arrived this week. The theme is "Renew Your Intentions". I guess it is fitting that so many of the products seek to provide help with health and wellness goals since that is usually tops on our list! I enjoyed this box but have to admit that several things in it did not interest me. Here is what it contained: Raw Rev 100 Chocolate & Coconut Bar - This was the first thing to be touched in the box and it was divine. It is raw, vegan gluten free and dairy free. … [Read more...]
