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...

BLK Water and Fulvic Acid Benefits

WHAT'S BLK WATER? What’s the name of that really dark drink which appears to be A REALLY dark brownish-black in color?? BLACK WATER! After reading a few reviews about Blk Water, I made the decision to purchase a few bottles to review for the Green News Guide. BLK Water is also made in two other flavors: blueberry and lemonade! Blk water, the company, was formed by Albie & Chris Manzo and Chris Laurita of the Real Housewives of New Jersey in 2011. They actually came up with the idea of Blk Water after visiting a food show that featured two sisters by the name of Jacqueline and Louise Wilkie, who are partners at Blk. After their mother had been diagnosed with terminal bone cancer, they created a fulvic acid mixture and gave it to her. Her cancer was miraculously eradicated. Blk water contains a mineral compound of fulvic acid. Fulvic acid is known in Ayurveydic circles as “shilajeet.” It has been used in healing remedies for almost 60 years. Many individuals in these circle...

Juice Beauty Phyto-Pigments Flawless Serum Foundation Review

Image
Juice Beauty has a new foundation and I'm so excited to GAB all about it! About a year ago, as I embarked on my never ending search for the “holy grail” natural foundation, I came across Juice Beauty’s only foundation at the time. It was the Juice Beauty Perfecting Foundation.  Unfortunately, there were only three shades in this foundation and none of them were for darker skin tones! Slightly annoyed about the lack of foundation shades, I decided to email Juice Beauty to ask them to please introduce shades for women with darker skin tones.  The issue of a lack of foundation shades for darker skin tones seems to be pretty widespread. I can think of quite a few prominent natural makeup and cosmetic brands that do not carry shades for darker skin tones or do not have enough shade matches for these skin tones. What’s the deal with that?! Don’t forget about the other end of the color rainbow my wonderful organic and natural companies!!  Women with darker skin tones are in...
