The Princess of Wales brings Awareness to Holistic Healthcare Upon Completion of Three Peaks Challenge

Image
The Princess of Wales completed the Three Peaks challenge over the weekend.  The challenge involves a blend of driving and trekking through three of the highest mountain peaks in England, Scotland and Wales--Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Yr Wyddfa. The challenge areas cover 23 miles of walking distance along with a 462 mile drive between each peak.   The challenge is open to the public and many aim to walk to the summit of the peaks within 24 hours.  However, the trek is so grueling and extensive that only 40% of the individuals attempting the challenge are able to complete it within this timeframe.  It is recommended that individuals desiring to complete the Three Peaks Challenge engage in strength training over a period of eight to twelve weeks. Whether Catherine engaged in strength training is unknown but she has always been quite athletic.  Not only did Catherine complete the challenge--she is part of the smaller percentage of people who were able to comp...

Sustainable Fashion with Sam Edelman's Cork 'Addison' Flats

Conscious and sustainable choices in fashion can be hard to come by. Fashion designers should aim to create clothing, shoes and accessories made from natural, renewable resources. We were super hyped when we saw these amazing shoes from Sam Edelman's Circus line. These amazing flats are made from cork, the bark tissue from the Cork Oak or Quercus suber.
Cork forests are primarily found in Portugal, Spain and Italy. Cork is a completely sustainable material as it is easily recyclable and emits much less carbon dioxide than other non renewable resources. The cork bark is not fully harvested until the tree reaches a prime age of approximately 40 years old. Harvesting cork entails a strict and sustainable process as no part of the cork bark is ever wasted or discarded.
These spunky and chic flats are perfect for the current spring season. They are lightweight yet very durable due to the cork material. A supersonic, neon pink lining accentuates the shoe, and offers a bold and stunning look. The tan and white outsoles will complement most outfits due to the neutral effect between the two color schemes. The 'Addison' Smoking flat by Sam Edelman is definitely a pick that the conscious and fashion forward shoenista needs to have in their closet. The ecofriendly and sustainable design and aesthestic of the shoe will put the mind of any conscious consumer at ease. These pretty, eye-catching flats will be great to wear in the rain as the cork material is somewhat water resistant.
Sustainable fashion is a must if we desire to better our planet. Make your voices heard to your favorite designer or fashion houses and help them to realize the significance of wearing clothing, shoes and accessories made from renewable resources. As retailers and designers become aware of the importance of sustainable fashion, they will be more likely to incorporate green best practices into their production and creative process. So, SAY IT LOUD: YOU'RE CONSCIOUS AND PROUD!

Green News Guide Clean, Organic & Natural Perfumes & Colognes: A List of Brands and Companies

Image
It’s Earth month folks! Happy Earth Month! This is one of the best months of the year where we spend most of our time giving back to our earth.  It can be difficult finding 100% natural perfume companies and fragrances.  After coming across a few articles over the years about natural or clean fragrance companies, the list is usually very short and there are only less than a handful that are spoken of.  The truth is that there aren’t that many that are out there.  Many of them are located overseas where standards and protocols for products designated for human consumption or usage are much more stringent and stricter.    Green News Guide has spent some time identifying natural, clean and sustainable fragrance companies in the USA and abroad.  I've compiled close to seventy natural or clean fragrance companies.  Many of these fragrance companies are committed to policies or missions that take into consideration the health of our planet.  I'm pr...

Impossible Steak Review! How does it Compare to Beyond Steak?

Image
                          Impossible Steak Bites Impossible released a new vegan meat product.  If you are not a frequent shopper at Whole Foods then you may not have known about its release.  This was a quiet drop as I didn’t even receive any marketing emails from Impossible about it.  Impossible Meat is my number 1 brand for alt meat because the products substitute so well for the real deal.  I always thought that Impossible would create a vegan bacon product before doing a steak because its needed. Beyond Meat also has the vegan steak game on LOCK! Beyond Steak is the steak lover turned vegetarian’s dream. There is no other brand that has outdone Beyond Meat’s vegan steak and it is my hope that they will create a full size steak option in addition to their seared tips. The Assessment Now that I’ve boasted about the #1 vegan steak, I’m sure you’re sitting on the edge of your seat and wondering what ve...
