Frontier Natural Products Co-op

I have something to share with you today that has been proven to prevent cancer, Sulforaphane. It is found in high amounts in a very easy to grow and eat food.  Broccoli Sprouts.  Broccoli sprouts contain 20-50 times more Sulforaphane then a serving of adult broccoli. Sulforaphane is an antioxidant and stimulators of natural detoxifying enzymes. Basically it can help to stave off the free radicals all over the place.

Vitamins A, B, C, E and K

I used to grow sprouts on a regular basis. Then my jar broke and I just forgot to replace it, or just never quite got around it it. Recently Frontier Natural Products Co-op sent me a Sprouting Jar and a healthy supply of Organic Broccoli seeds to start my sprouting habit again. With in 4 days I had a nice jar of sprouts, and have been able to use them on salads and sandwiches since! I have Annie Chun’s Kimchi Soup Noodle Bowl and I have even been adding them to that! So tasty! Broccoli sprouts have a little more kick to them then Alfalfa sprouts which really allow them to make or break a meal. In my case they make it! and in Craig’s too. he likes them in salads and sandwiches too.

The jar is just a regular Ball Jar and then has this lid:

41XjlrOpZ7L._SL500_AA280_51HLkBranzL._SL500_AA280_

I really enjoy them because it gives me a way to “garden” and eat fresh home grown veggies in the winter.  It really can’t get any easier then this:

To sprout, use 2 tablespoons seeds per quart jar or Easy Sprout Sprouter. Soak in water 10-12 hours, then drain. Rinse seeds 2 to 3 times a day until ready to use (about 5 days).

I think most of you would find other items at Frontier Co-op too. Organic Herbs to make teas, Organic spices and seasonings. Not to mention essential oils, waxes, and clays. Plus Vanilla, cocoa and sugar. I know I left a hundred things off of this list, but now I think you know where to start. Most items are organic or Fair Trade which goes a long way in my book.

Plus Frontier Natural Products Co-op wants to give one of you a chance to win a Sprouter and a 1 lb bag of Organic Broccoli seeds! This is a $50 Value!

To enter, visit Frontier Natural Products Co-op and tell me something there that you would like to try yourself and why.

I had read about a Wine Barrel Lazy Susan some time ago and thought it would make a great present for a wedding.  but now that it is close to the other present time of year, I am thinking what a great gift for anyone! Family can use it on their kitchen tables.  It would also be great for a craft table!

Recycled Wine Barrel Lazy SusanIt is so simple, yet so earthy, romantic and classy!  A re-purposed wine barrel into a spinning tray!   you can even have them stenciled! Read Kristen’s entire review on Viva Terra’s Wine Barrel Lazy Susan.

And not worry.  If you are truly in the gift giving mode, they have an entire category for your green gift giving needs.  Since most of the items I talk about here on Prissy Green would make great gifts for women, let’s dish on eco-gifts for men!  I am all over these eco-slippers for my dad.  And Craig would be proud to pull out his Recycled LP Coasters.

Olive Green Dog Review and Giveaway

Olive Green Dog is a veritable smorgasbord of doggy duds, tail-wagging treats and pooch paraphernalia. Olive is dedicated to bringing you the largest variety of healthful and environmentally friendly dog products the big ol’ internet has to offer. Many of Olive’s green goods are one of a kind—hip, modern and eco-friendly dog supplies. Now your discerning pooch can support sustainability without sacrificing style.

I bought Bayles and Bleu dog beds once.  They NEVER slept on them. Bleu doesn’t sleep in bed, but Bayles does, so I figured for sure he would sleep in one of them.  NOPE.  He prefers to sleep under the bed.  BUT i do plenty of pooches that love having a spot to call theirs. So look at these adorable, eco-friendly dog beds offered at Olive Green Dog.

Not to worry, your feline can have a place to rests its weary head too!

For those of you who like to dress  your dogs, or have bitty babies that need sweaters, Olive Green Dog carries a huge assortment of dog rain coats, doggie sweaters, tees and hoodies. Too cute I might add!

The also carry eco-friendly dog collars!  Some are made from sustainable bamboo and hemp!

They carry so much that I could just keep chatting about it all day!  They did send me a few items to review for you here at Prissy Green.  And I swear the dogs KNEW the package was for them when it arrived.  Bleu always sits next to me when I open packages, he is my protector, so he has to sniff it all as I open it, to make sure mommy is safe. But this package was different.  Both dogs were all over me!  As soon as I opened it, I let them pick which organic dog  treat they wanted first.  They choose the My Oh My Pizza Pie!  I swear they smell just like pizza!

OliveCookieTreatsquad_MI was sent, excuse me, Bayles and Bleu were sent the foursome pictures above.  All organic dog treats. Olive Cookie Treat Cuatro (’[;4444444444878p9-/*- (how hilarious.  Bayles just hopped over here, and laid on my laptop.  She has NEVER done that before.  That was what she had to say) includes all four popular organic cookie snacks–Nutty ‘Nanners, Little Berry Bites, Happy Apple Snaps, and My oh My Pizza Pie. Delicious, allergen-free– NO wheat, corn or soy– no artificial colors, no artificial flavors and no preservatives of any kind. Only 100% natural organic, lip-smacking dog treats lovingly baked in small batches to ensure the highest quality. Handmade in the USA.

I can’t tell you if they actually had a favorite.  But I really liked the Nutty ‘Nanners.  They are a little bit larger and takes the pups a little longer to crunch up and chew.

Shampoo-Mjpg

The other item this mom to furbabies is  thrilled with is their Bubble and Squeak.

Lavish your dog’s skin with organic oils and pure botanicals to moisturize and deodorize even the smelliest, dirtiest pooch. Regular use with Bubble and Squeak organic dog shampoo will keep your dog’s coat shiny, healthy, and squeaky clean! Contains nothing yucky–no parabens, no sodium lauryl/laureth sulfates, and no phthalates. Guaranteed gentle on dogs and the Earth. FDA Certified Organic. Made in USA.

  • Peppermint and Rosemary to deodorize
  • Lavender as a natural anti-inflammatory
  • Hemp oil for a healthy, shiny coat
  • Calendula for its soothing and healing properties
  • 100% Biodegradeable
  • No artificial dyes
  • Sulfate, detergent, and fragrance-free
  • Paraben and Pthalate FREE
  • Cosmetic Fill-16 oz. for the price of 12
  • Made in USA
  • HDPE #2 bottle is fully recyclable

And something really gross but so necessary.  Poop.  and Poop bags.

SuperPoop_M

Amazingly, US dogs produce enough waste to fill an 800-foot-tall football field every year and plastic bags can take over 100 years to decompose. Scooping all that poop into petroleum-based plastic bags leaches toxic chemicals as they slooowly break down over thousands of years in landfills. Alternatively, leaving scat on the ground isn’t an eco-friendly (nor neighbor-friendly) option either, as 20-30% of all pollutants in waterways can be attributed to canine waste.
Since paper and poop are not a winning combo and leaving land mines for unsuspecting outdoor enthusiasts doesn’t go over well, most responsible dog owners are beholden to plastic. Or are they?
Olive poop bags are made naturally from GMO-free corn starch and vegetable oil, are certified 100% biodegradable and compost in as little as 40 days. Poop and parcel can be buried for micro-organisms to consume or combined with yard waste for curbside collection in communities that compost biodegradable waste.

Olive Green Dog and Prissy Green want you to be able to try their items out too!  One winner will receive Bubble and Squeak, a bag of Little Berry Bites and a container of Oliver Super Poop Bags. $39 value.

To enter, visit Olive Green Dog and pick out something you would love for your precious pooch. Or Feisty Feline!

Natural Luxe Giveaway

Filed under Giveaways

yhst-99710730889282_2074_283819

You may remember my article on Natural Luxe, your eco-friendly gift store.  They are giving readers a chance to win a Mama bag?

Well let me refresh your memory a little bit just in case.  Natural Luxe takes the hassle out of finding eco-minded gifts.  Whether you want to buy something for yourself, the guy your dating’s mom, your sister, brother, uncle, whomever, they take the research out of the equation.  Everything they have is promised to be unique, good to give, good for you and good for the environment. Natural Luxe’s products have been selected because they are natural, organic, hand made, recycled or promote a sustainable environment but never skimp on style or substance!

yhst-99710730889282_2075_3792603(2)

Natural Luxe sent me a bar soap to review, The Bubble Room’s Ylang Ylang & Cinnamon Goodness Bar.  Now I could probably be certified as a bar soap Connoisseur.  And this bar crushes the competition.  It is thick, and heavy, creamy with the perfect amount of scent.  Some bars have too much scent, and overpower me when I use them.  This bar smells spicy and sultry.  The soap to shower with your significant other.  yes ma’am, and yes sir!  Ylang Ylang is an aphrodisiac and cinnamon has been in countless studies as a turn on for guys.  (yes food is a way to man heart)

These 100 percent Goodness Soaps are made using the Cold Process method and they have NO SYNTHETIC FRAGRANCES, PRESERVATIVES OR DYES; just vegetable oil, essential oils, and natural tinting herbs for color

But not to fear, if you are wanting a Goodness Soap for your mother-in-law, they have 5 scents to choose from.

Grapefruit & Tangerine

Lavender & Geranium

Spearmint & Eucalyptus

Clementine & Cedarwood

and of course the Ylang Ylang & Cinnamon

I also tried the Bubble Rooms Clementine & Cedarwood Scrub, and that scent is really nice too. I like spice, and the woodsy scent of cedarwood.  This would make a perfect scent for any man in your life, dad, brother or lover!

yhst-99710730889282_2075_4481631(2)

They sell a select few bath and body items, but from the Bubble Room they have shower gel, scrubs, mineral salts and lotions.

Some of the other eco-bath & body companies they have available are NettieScrub,  BabyBearShop and Red Leaf.

And Natural Luxe would like to offer you readers to win a Goodness Soap Bar of your choice from the Bubble Room!

To enter tell me what scent Goodness Bar you would choose.

New Terra Living Review

New Terra Living is a site that you  will find gifts, baby items, no tool composite furniture, cleaning supplies and many more things that fall under the eco-friendly and natural category.

31gmc-JhdbL._SL250_41KsXsOosLL._SL250_41Opqn+BVDL._SL250_

Eco-Friendly Office Furniture
Composite furniture is lightweight, strong, flexible and environmentally friendly. Strong, sturdy, easy and environmentally sound.

And unlike most easily assembled furniture, you can take this apart and put it back together as many times as you wish, with out reducing the quality.  Plus it is sturdy!  Legare did a test on one of their desks with weights and it held at 2,000 pounds, never giving a bit.

Sweet Organic Baby Clothes, organic baby and toddler bedding, swaddling blankets even pillows!

Beckon's Organics Strength Yoga PantsI  tried out the Beckon’s Organics Strength Yoga Pants.  Most of my yoga attire pants are capri’s.  Now that it is fall, our house can get drafty on overcast days.  So I was thrilled when I put these on, they were long enough.  The quickly became my new very best friend.  Perfect fit.  I do have hips and a butt, some yoga wares don’t account for this.  Beckon’s does.  I can talk about exercising longer then actually doing it, but these make me look as fit as a yogi.  I just love that about Yoga gear, these seem to have it a little more.  They aren’t tight, just hug the right curves and ignore the curves you don’t want hugged.

I can see why this is the Yoga Line that New Terra Living decided to carry.

And talk about comfort.  The organic cotton breaths, and the spandex gives me flexibility. I actually did the Yoga Pulse Express DVD as well as a Tai Chi DVD this weekend, and they worked perfectly.  Gave me movement, and coverage.   Definitely a pant I need in all colors!  Well minus black.  All black pants just end up covered in dog hair.  =)

Tea Accessories, solar powered address lights and mailboxes, Dr. Bronners, Ecover are just a few more details about New Terra Living. And competitively prices.  Where else can you get organic bed linens for a baby shower, grab some yoga pants for your work out, buy your cleaning supplies and a desk?

My Very Own Store! It is Happening!

October 29, 2009 by Karissa  
Filed under Info You Want to Know

so guess what?  I am opening my very own Natural Beauty Store!c042f02e65d3f98c

The store is not going to be here at Prissy Green, but I will definitely have links and ways to access it.  I am bringing in all of my personal favorite products, so you know they have been tested and KG approved!

At first there is just going to be a few items on the e-shelves, but over the next couple months, I will keep that growing!  I have partnered with The Open Sky Project, they are brand new, full of ideas, and ready to get this train out of the station!

This is part of my dream my passion.  What I have always wanted to do!  I never realized someone would contact me and offer to help me with it!  So needless to say I am thrilled!  And I have YOU to THANK! With out my readers, and loyal commenters, supporters I would not have this chance.  That is not lost on me.  I promise you that!

The store will focus on the customer.  Good Old Fashion Customer Service!  I want to know who my customers are, and I want to help them.  There is also a fantastic return policy.  If you aren’t happy, or satisfied, return it and you get a refund!  Sweet huh?

I will have personally have reviewed each item. OR will have been close by while a close friend of family member was using it.  Face it, I can’t try every face cream and potion!  My skin would fall off!  So I will be utilizing my army of females around me and some guys too!

2b1fbea3a192ba22And no mediocre products.  I want what works.  So if that means, a couple products from this company, and a couple from this one, and so on and so on, until every woman in America can find the perfect skin regimen, so be it!

Of course they will all be natural, and hopefully a lot will be Organic too!

Another great feature, is that I am not the only ShopKeeper.  There are a dozen or more now, but they will keep adding more.  And just like me, the products will have been personally tested and approved, by the shopkeeper.  But each ShopKeeper has their own store.  And their own products.

Head over, check it out!

If anyone has any questions, or product suggestions let me know!  I will do my best to get what everyone wants and needs, and I hope to have such a fantastic store, and prices that it blows up!  =)
