More shopping for the holidays/melamine update

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND SUPPORT!! I LOVE DOING THIS AND HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM ALL OF YOU!!

I have written before about the benefits of trying to do as much as we can organically and have mentioned some outstanding products from Australia which has international certifications and are the only whole food and supplement company that have the ACO (Australian Certified Organic), IFOAM (International Federation Organic Agriculture Movement) USDA and QAI. They simply are the best that I have tried. Please check out

She is the go to person I have found for this company.

Honestly-at this point I am not going to use anything else--and neither should you as long as it is 3rd party endorsed, is completely chemical free and has certifications. If your products do not and are not completely made up of plants, herbs, flowers and pure clean water--do not use them.


As the holiday season very quickly approaches there have been articles and websites inundated with "green" and "safe" toys.

The bottom line is that toys that are produced in China have BPA's and phtalates, BECAUSE the toy manufacturers allow it to happen and so does our government. We have the power to stop it all by not buying these toys. Now-there are going to be restrictions starting in 02/09-see this article

This is definitely great news. Now all products that are produced in China are not dangerous. the companies have to uphold a level of responsibility, which some do... you have to be your own champion and do the legwork.

Updates on the melamine scandal:

There has been controversy about the barcodes and what is safe from overseas. Just remember organic is best period and stay away from boxed and canned foods. I have said it before sustainable farming--there is a delivery service right here that delivers to our door

In addition the new year is upon us and we have a great fun detox/feeling and looking good 8 week program coming up that I am very excited about. Jasmine Whitehead who has a Master's in Public Health, is a LMT and has many other certifications and myself have put together a fun program for the New Year--stay tuned for details. I just got done weaning the baby so I still have a good 12-15 lbs to go!!

With that said happy shopping and blessings to all!!
