Bolthouse Farms Review

August 31, 2009 by Karissa  
Filed under Reviews

So as I am sitting here this morning drinking a cup of coffee, and putting my Chai Smoothie in as my cream, I realized I have to share this company with you.

You may remember me telling you about the Vanilla Chai Purely Protein is my Thirsty Thursday Chai Martini recipe, but I really didn’t tell you all the goodness it contains!

Harvest

First let me give you a little background on Bolthouse Farms!  It has been around since 1915! and is a 4 generation farm.  They have supplied carrots to Campbells, Gerber and many other big names for nearly a century!  In 1959 Bolthouse made a new farm in Bakersfield, CA so he could supply American’s with fresh carrots year round!

In 2003 Bolthouse created a new Bolthouse Beverages.  Each batch of Bolthouse Juices and smoothies are taste tested and bottled in patented clean bottling facilities to ensure freshness, and safety.  This all provides extra long lasting juice, with added nutritional value and superior taste!

You probably eat their carrots every time you eat a carrot.  or have a salad at a restaurant, as they are one of the world’s largest suppliers of carrots. (my dogs love them for this!  ;-) ! )

Bolthouse carries fresh carrots, cut carrots, smoothies, juices and even many salad dressings!

I personally love their drinks.  I know we have had several of their salad dressings and of course purchased their precut carrots many times.  Those are our dogs treats.  =)  They recently launched their Yogurt based Salad Dressings, naturally low in fat!

My favorite smoothie?  Green Goodness. This has a large phytonutrient content. It tastes most like apple juice and banana to me, and don’t worry, you don’t taste any veggies, or really anything else for that matter. Sweet and creamy, and plain ol deliciousness!

* Ingredients: Apple juice from concentrate (Apple juice concentrate, Water), Pineapple juice from concentrate (Pineapple juice concentrate, Water), Mango puree from concentrate (Mango puree concentrate, Water), Banana Strawberry Banana 32 ozpuree, Kiwi juice, Natural flavor, Spirulina, Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid), lime juice, Broccoli, Green tea, Spinach, Barley grass, Wheat grass, Odorless garlic, Tamarind puree, Lemon Juice, Jerusalem artichoke.

Amazing Mango is rich in antioxidants, including selenium.
Blue Goodness is rich in antioxidants, fiber, vitamin C and E, and several B vitamins.
Berry Boost is a fruit-filled, vitamin-rich smoothie.
C-Boost is rich in a vitamin-C-rich blend.
and yummy Strawberry Banana.

I have found a great way to cream my coffee in the morning too! Not to mention spike a great martini! Vanilla Chai! It is packed with soy protein, so if I drink a little of it, and have some fruit in the morning, my breakfast has been made! Plus it is full of Vitamins C, B and E, and also contains folic acid and many amino acids as well.

Vanilla Chai 32 oz

They have a Hazel Nut Purely Protein as well as a Mocha Cappuccino. I am def going to try the Hazlenut this fall/winter!

Not to mention their pure juices and lemonades!

acai_baskets

They have also recently added a line of Acai juices called Bom Dia. These açaí drinks are distributed 340 mL bottles, which contain two servings of fruit. These bottles have a chart of the relative levels of antioxidants in several fruit, depicting açaí as having 472 ORAC units per gram of edible fruit, the second highest shown being cranberry, at 95. I am sure some of you have heard the benefits of Acai and how much it can help in dieting and in every other nutritional capacity?

This is an excerpt taken from WebMd.
Are there known health benefits of acai berries?

Some studies show that acai fruit pulp has a very high antioxidant capacity with even more antioxidant content than cranberry, raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, or blueberry. Studies are ongoing, though, and the jury is still out.

People eat acai berries to address various health conditions. But so far, acai berries have no known health benefit that’s any different than that of other similar fruits.
Can acai berries boost weight loss?

Scientists are learning more about the functional power of superfoods, such as the acai berry. Although acai is touted in some weight loss products, few studies have tested the benefit of acai in promoting weight loss.

For now, plenty of research supports eating a diet rich in antioxidants. There’s no doubt that berries and other fruits are a key part of any healthy diet promoting weight loss. The jury’s still out on whether there is something special about acai’s ability to shed excess pounds.

Some cosmetics and beauty products contain acai oil in the ingredient list. That’s because acai oil is a powerhouse of antioxidants.

Studies show that acai oil may be a safe alternative to other tropical oils used in beauty products such as facial and body creams, anti-aging skin therapies, shampoos and conditioners, and other products. When acai oil is processed and stored long-term, the antioxidant levels remain high.

Bolthouse beverages, salad dressings and veggies are all sold in the produce section of most grocers.  Look for the beverages in a cold section.

My only compaint?  their website…. augh, first I am not a fan of flash websites, but this website made my whole computer drag.

AboutAlchemilla_03

Alchemilla committed to creating non-toxic, truly active skin care products that naturally and ethically guide skin back to health, delivering their promise of a more healthy, vitalized, youthful looking complexion.

Alchemilla products are biodegradable and made with great care for the environment.

I have really enjoyed trying out this line.  Just as I said earlier, it smells like the outdoors, maybe like the first days of spring when the flowers have all started to pop up.  Just light and natural.

I have always had problems with using antioxidant serums (vitamin C) on my skin.  It usually breaks me out. Finally I have found something that I can use to protect my skin from free radical damage.  The Alchemilla Antioxidant Serum defends and preserves skin against the harmful effects of environmental free radicals.AntioxidantSerum-IMG_1876Lg

- Stimulates new collagen production.
- Supports healing and improves skin’s resilience.
- Boosts cellular energy, promoting production of
new, healthier skin cells.
- Brightens uneven pigmentation.
- Suitable for all skin types.

This potent botanical concentrate, with organic antioxidant herbs and stabilized Vitamin C, hydrates the skin while providing an intensive boost of natural actives to address the visible signs of aging. With daily use, fine lines and wrinkles are softened, pigmentation is lessened and skin appears smooth, radiant and youthful.

I used this only on one side of my face, and I have noticed a dramatic decrease in my smile lines. It also helps so well with moisture, I am able to use just this and sunscreen during the day. It is not sticky like most vitamin C serums.
CleansingGel-IMG_0223Sml
I also tried out Alchemilla’s Foaming Facial Cleansing Gel.  It is so very gentle, while wiping away the days impurities.  Forumlated with Manuka and Tea Tree Oil and a base of Aloe, with Coconut and Corn oils.  My face feels fresh and clean, but not stripped.
ExfoliatingCrm-IMG_1792Lge
And last but not least is their Exfoliating Cream Wash. Loaded with tiny smooth beads of jojoba and organic herbal extracts, their organic Exfoliating Face Wash Cream gently polishes and refines skin to silky perfection. Antiseptic Rosemary and Calendula extracts are combined with antioxidant Sea Buckthorn and nourishing Shea to deliver an unbelievably gentle, creamy exfoliant that immediately uncovers your natural, youthful glow.

Alchemilla also carries body lotions, oils, washes, Aromatherapy and herbal treatments. Plus many more skin care specialties that I didn’t get a chance to try.

You can purchase Alchemilla at their website, or use their search box to find a retailer near you.

Filed under Giveaways

illustrationgoldEden Allure goes that extra mile to bring you the finest line of Moroccan Argan oil based products. They believe in only using the most refined Moroccan Argan oil possible. This ensures that our customers are getting the finest in Moroccan Argan oil skin, hair, and body care. They also put our Argan oil through a steamed, deodorizing process to avoid any chemical additives, and to eliminate the natural “nutty” odor which many people find too overbearing for skin care use.

We strive to bring you the finest in natural skin care, while at the same time serving to promote the advancement of a long oppressed group of women. By purchasing fairly-traded Argan oil from the Berber women of Morocco, we help to fund social improvements in a part of the world where women do not generally make much money. We firmly believe that a person makes his living by what he obtains, and makes his life by what he gives. That is why we will donate a portion of our proceeds to a wonderful charitable organization known as Global Fund for Women. This charity aids in providing relief to abused and impoverished women all around the world.

Do you want to diminish those wrinkles, crow’s feet, and those lines around the eyes? Do you wish to rejuvenate, and give your skin a healthy new glow? Do you have the desire to give your hair and nails a beautiful, new healthy sheen? Do you have annoying skin ailments that don’t seem to go away? Argan Oil just might the answer you have been looking for.  A small amount goes a very long way, and for $30ou get a nice sized 2.2 oz bottle that is going to last a long time!  No matter your age, gender, or race, Argan oil can help you with your skin, hair, and nail concerns.

Argan Oil is a rare and difficult oil to obtain. This wonderful natural oil is found exclusively in southwestern Morocco. It is known as “liquid gold” and has been used by the Berber women of Morocco for hundreds of years for its beneficial use in skin, hair, nail, and therapeutic treatment. We are finally catching on to the knowledge that many of these ancient cultures had in regards to natural beauty and therapeutic care.

This Ayurvedic oil has extra ordinary cosmetic and therapeutic properties. Your skin is constantly being deprived of

100% Pure Argan Oil

100% Pure Argan Oil

the nutrients needed to maintain its necessary levels of collagen due to age and environmental stress. Argan oil is a natural solution to defend against premature aging and repair UV exposure. Argan oil is particularly effective against aging and cell degeneration, as well as dryness, skin inflammation, acne and scars. Argan oil contains exceptionally high levels of fatty acids including linoleic acid (omega-6) which ensure skin’s repair and protective functions. They stimulate intracellular oxygenation, thus favoring restoration of the hydrolipid film by increasing nutrient levels in cutaneous cells, and by providing essential moisture to the skin. The essential fatty acids fight against drying, smoothing out the skin, improving its elasticity, and discouraging wrinkles to appear; it is the anti-wrinkle treatment ‘par excellence.’ Your skin will become more supple, more toned and more resistant. It takes just a short period of time to get the skin looking satiny and radiant, giving it that youthful and healthy look.

Moroccan Argan Oil is very rich in:

* Vitamin F (omega 6): anti-aging and anti-dryness of skin
* Vitamin E: A powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory for sensitive skin, UV protection, and aids in cutaneous micro-circulation. Also neutralizes free radicals
* Phenols: antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, powerful against fungus and bacteria, activates blood circulation and activates Vitamin C
* Triterpens: restructure cells, is anti-inflammatory and slows down cell aging
* Squalene: suggested to prevent against skin cancer

Eden Allure’s Argan Oil can be used to treat and condition hair.  Use it to increase shine, elasticity, and to repair dry ends.  Either use 10 Minutes before showering, or apply at night and let the natural oil soak in repair overnight.

Argan oil is ideal for all skin types, dry, damaged, sensitive, and allergenic skin. Argan oil is perfect to deeply regenerate, eal, nurture, and protect your skin. The Vitamin F or essential fatty acids (Omega 6) moisturize the skin combating aging, drying, smoothing out the skin, and improving its elasticity. Argan oil’s unique natural components regulate lipid levels minimizing fine lines and wrinkles. The high concentration of Vitamin E and the squalene, neutralize free radicals shielding your skin against aggressive environmental factors. To use simply apply a small amount day and night.

I love that I am able to use this over treatments and serums, to really lock moisture in, and not worry about it creating blemishes.  it actually helps to heal old blemishes and in fact has helped brown spots from old scars and the melasma I have above my lip.

And don’t forget to use on your body and on nails! Repair cuticles, and moisturize dry legs, feet and elbows.

GrapefruitWeb

Eden Allure also carries soaps made with pure Argan and Sunflower oils. This organic creamy soap lathers up with ease, and provides the essential moisture your skin needs.  The soap is incredibly moisturizing and lathers with ease and cleanse throughly.

Andira Rain Tee Collection

Filed under Info You Want to Know

toucan-Lrg

Rain Tees are a 100% organic luxury line of apparel for women and children designed by youth living in endangered rain forests across Central and South America.

toucan_1

Andira donated school supplies to the children and asked them to illustrate what they see happening in their world every day. Each Rain Tee features their thoughts illustrations and names.

For every Rain tee sold, a child involved in Kids Saving the Rain Forest, Costa Rica will receive a tree they can plant to replace one that has been destroyed.

LogoTee

With every rain tee purchased you are:

* Supporting fair trade and fair labor practices
* Creating opportunities for art education
* Promoting reforestation of endangered rain forests
* Creating environmental education for youth living in both endangered tropical forests and in our local communities
* Combating the negative affects of climate change and agricultural pollution by supporting organic farming and eco-conscious apparel production.
* Creating “green jobs” for workers in rain forest communities so they do not feel forced to work in deforestation, animal trafficking or oil industries to feed their families.

By 2040 the world’s rainforests could be gone.

Andira

noun : 1. Andira retusa, a Brazilian tree species. Has purple flowers, and a slight aroma of oranges.

I began Andira International in 2005 as an import and distribution company, naming the company “Andira” after a MonkeyKidstall tree that grows in the Brazilian Amazon. For centuries, indigenous people have used the Andira for its medicinal properties. However, due to logging and deforestation, the species has been vastly devastated.

Because of facts like these, it is my goal to create global change by educating consumers on critical issues using industries such as fashion, and collections such as Rain Tees.

Andira has grown to offer consulting, design, distribution and marketing to companies that want to launch products while remaining as eco-conscious as possible. Every Andira collection we design, import or help to produce is made using fair labor practices, and contains no animal parts or products as we believe fashion should always be cruelty free.

Seabuckthorn International Review and Giveaway

August 28, 2009 by Karissa  
Filed under Giveaways

SBT_LOGO

Seabuckthorn is a very hardy plant which grows well in the Central Plains of North America. Its botanical name is Hippophae Rhamnoides L. which means “bright shining horse.” Seabuckthorn contains 194 known nutritional compounds in the seeds, fruit and leaves. While each of these compounds is effective on its own, it is their synergies which make Seabuckthorn such a powerful nutraceutical. Seabuckthorn berries can stay on the branches throughout the winter providing nourishment for birds and small animals.

Skin conditions are a nutritional deficiency and Seabuckthorn International’s products represent 192 of the 194 known nutrients in a near perfect balance all from the same plant source and certified organic.

The nutrients work synergistically with each other and the Omega 3 and 6 are at a natural one to one ratio. Science shows they self check each other on thousands of metabolic functions to create energy and new cells all in a non-inflammatory environment, therefore these new healthy cells operate at their best efficiency. This includes improving the body’s ability to produce, Hyalauronic acid, Glutathione, Alphalipoic, Coenzyme Q10, etc, which all support all the healing processes of the body. Seabuckthorn also contains Omega 7 and 9.

Seabuckthorn berries derive their bright orange color from the 15 plus carotenoids they contain. Among the carotenes found in Sea Buckthorn are alpha carotene, beta carotene, delta carotene, gamma carotene, lutein, lycopene, beta cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, taraxanthin and phytofluin.

Sea Buckthorn reduces levels of protein associated with inflammation, diabetes and heart diseaseand it may even help the functions of the liver!

BEAUTIFUL_BERRIES

SBT Single Source Capsules represents both the seed oil and fruit oil combined to be the most effective nutritional product on the market. Please take note that Seabuckthorn International does not add any fillers. No olive oil or sunflower oil, OR the sweetener maltadextron to any of their capsules.

Also note, they do not do double packaging, which creates immediate garbage and will eventually be phased out by all conscientious companies. I really can’t express how important this is. I receive tons of products, and the immediate is to take something out of a box, then take it out of the packaging box. It really is terribly wasteful.

Seabuckthorn International carries numerous products, ranging from cleansing bars, skin creams, acne line, rosacea line, teas, oils, 3 kinds of capsules, newly introduced salves and even hair care.

BERRYBAR2

Craig and I both really enjoyed the cleansing bars. They lather up nicely, but do not strip the skin, yet leaves you clean, and with a slight berry scent, the scent would not be able to be noticed by anyone else, but is a nice little pick me up in the morning shower. The Cleansing Bars contain seabuckthorn seed oil with its valuable Omega 3 and Omega 6, and Omega 9 and seabuckthorn fruit oil with Omega 7 or palmitoleic acid which is similar in structure to the fatty acids in our skin. I have noticed a dramatic decrease in body breakouts since I have been using the bar, and also noticed a decrease of sensitivity in Craig’s skin since using.

capsules

I have been taking the SBT Capsules for a couple of months now. Because I use so many skin products to try and help my facial acne, it is hard to say if this is the one supplement has done the deed, or if it has been a combination. I can say that my skin does not seem nearly as dry as it normally is. I do know one thing, my lips are usually so dry (lip balm addict) and this is the first time I can remember not putting it on, first thing in the morning and last thing I do at night. I know it has been working on AT LEAST that, b/c I haven’t been using anything else.

aftersunbottle

The After-Sun Cream, really seemed to help Craig one day. He had went to an Indian’s baseball game (our minor league) and gotten way too much sun on his arms and nose. I actually applied the straight oil to his nose and the next day it seemed much better. The cream really took the sting out of his arms too. Craig is pretty fair skinned, so this was a major feat!

I do have 3 prizes to give away to 3 different winners! And since Seabuckthorn International is a Canadian company, I have it opened up to both the US and Canada!

Three Winners will receive their choice of one of the following:
SBT Seabuckthorn Rosacea Starter Package
SBT Seabuckthorn Acne Starter Package
SBT Seabuckthorn Berry Essence package
SBT Seabuckthorn Tea Essence Package

SBT Seabuckthorn Single Source capsules.

To enter, please head over to Seabuckthorn International, and tell me one product, not reviewed here, that you would like to try.  Or tell me a fact about Seabuckthorn that isn’t mentioned here.
