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...

Vegetarianism for Longevity: Remembering Cicely Tyson

Industry legend, Cicely Tyson passed away at age 96, 3 days before the start of black history month. Who would have ever known that Cicely, a woman born in Harlem, NY would pass away in a place of the same name but in a different country (Haarlem, Netherlands) ? Cicely dedicated most of her life to the film, television and performance arts industries. Stalwart in disposition, whenever you saw Cicely, you knew she’d always have a wise or funny word to offer. Cicely was actively promoting her newly published book, “Just As I Am: A Memoir” before she suddenly died.





Cicely lived an accomplished long life with major triumphs and achievements. She was awarded a long overdue Academy Award, Black Reel Awards, Emmy Awards, a Tony award, The Presidential Medal of Freedom, a Spingarn Medal, a SAG award, numerous NAACP Awards as well as many others. On her path towards stardom, she encountered significant challenges of racism, spousal abuse and harassment. She refused to take on acting positions that were stereotypical of African Americans in the 1960s and 70s and would only acquaint herself with roles that fit her ideals and values.

Cicely was a Vegetarian

Now matter how old Cicely became, she always remained radiant and beautiful. It’s no surprise that Cicely maintained a vegetarian diet for most of her life. She could be heard attributing her good health to a vegetarian diet. It was the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. that led her to embark on a life of vegetarianism. The turn towards vegetarianism was a deep one for her. Seeing the dead flesh of a human being assassinated made her want to give up meat. She was very forward when discussing her adoption of a vegetarian lifestyle in an interview that she completed with Kelly and Ryan two weeks ago. Cicely’s lifestyle shined through as she graced red carpets in stunning and daring looks, never one to shy away from the camera! This woman did not look a day over 70!










We don’t yet know Cicely’s cause of death but one thing is sure and that is—she lived a very long time. She once said, “If I’m gonna be here for a long time, I want to be well.” Cicely never retired and was always on the go. There was no stopping her, which is why even at her age, people are alarmed about her death.






When she was asked by Gayle King, if she thought about death, she exclaimed, “Of course I think about death but I feel as long as you’re still breathing, you still have work to do.”

The Green News Guide celebrates the life of Cicely Tyson! thankfully, she was able to gift us with an amazing body of work that will live on in the hearts, minds and ears of all who will cherish it.

Rest in glory, Ms. Cicely Tyson!

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

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...
