Product Review: Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt

One of the great perks of blogging is that occasionally people want to send you free stuff! Sweet! Even better when it’s a product you’re really excited about. I’ve been a fan of Stonyfield Farms for a long time, especially because of their partnership with Preserve, their emphasis on organic products, their use of milk [...]

Green Skin

No, I’m not talking about this look: but it is pretty wicked, as my friends in New England might say. Awhile back, my sister told me about this cool website, Cosmetics Database, where you can look up beauty products and see their score in terms of safety and environmental impact. You can search via keyword [...]

Toothpaste Follow-Up

A little while back, I posted about my trouble finding a natural toothpaste that didn’t taste terrible. I think Tom’s of Maine is gross, and I wasn’t ready to go as far as brushing with castile soap, yikes! The problem is, most of the natural toothpastes I’ve found at health food stores are not ADA-approved, [...]

Mmm, Cookies

I don’t often buy packaged cookies, but occasionally a treat is in order. I picked these Eco-Planet cinnamon animal cracker-style cookies up at Whole Foods the other day to crumble over my soy frozen yogurt (Whole Soy & Co Chocolate Hazelnut is the bomb) and was so pleasantly surprised. These cookies are super delicious, and [...]

Product Review: BioBag

If you’re like me, you can’t bear to use plastic bags, even to line your garbage cans. Enter BioBag! These little green bags, made of “GMO free starch, biodegradable polymer and other renewable resources” are a great alternative to your standard plastic Hefty. They are 100% biodegradable and compostable (compost them if you can! post [...]

Product Review: Recycline

I tend to avoid buying plastic products whenever I can, but there are some things that can’t be avoided – like toothbrushes and razors (even reusable ones are made of plastic). I figured there had to be a more environmentally friendly option, so I did some research and found Preserve’s Recycline Products. Their products are [...]

Product Review: Envirosax

I’m in the habit of bringing my own bags to the grocery store (yay for SF for banning plastic ones), but I have a lot of friends and family members who say they’d like to do so, but never remember to bring their bags with them. Enter Envirosax. I first found them at a travel [...]
