Add Tropical Traditions’ Greens to Your Smoothies!

This post about Tropical Traditions Greens has been sponsored.  All opinions are mine.   I am a big fan of Tropical Traditions.  I have ordered from them a few times in the past and the quality is always top notch.  I love Tropical Traditions because of what they stand for.  The founders of Tropical Traditions are big supporters of family farms and organic standards.  They are always against GMOs and thoroughly scrutinize each product they sell to make sure it meets their standards, beyond the traditional organic standards.  Tropical Traditions always offers [...]

Is America Headed for a Soft Drink Ban?

soda ban

Is America headed towards healthy with a nationwide soft drink ban ?  I'd say not in a million years, but things are definitely changing.  Yahoo! News reports "with tax proposals, looming bans, DIY soda machines, and consumers' increasingly health consciousness on the rise, soda companies could be entering a dry spell."  The article goes on to state that soda revenues have decreased 40% over the last decade.

I think Michael Bloomberg, NYC major, kick started this movement last year when he called for a ban on super sized sodas.  The day is [...]

In 2012, I read up on the possible dangers of fluoride and decided to omit fluoride from my brushing routine.  I have tried different fluoride free toothpastes and they're all okay, but when I was asked to review OraMD, I was intrigued.  OraMD is more than just a toothpaste.  It is a toothpaste, mouthwash, and breath freshener.  And it doesn't contain fluoride or sodium lauryl sulfate.  OraMD is comprised of 100% pure botanical oils of almond, spearmint, and peppermint.  Peppermint has anti-bacterial properties and spearmint has [...]
