genetically modified organism

I had someone not that long ago ask me what a GMO was. I suggested she do some research and let me know her thoughts. I found this website to be very helpful http://www.nongmoproject.org/ Corn, cotton, papaya (one of my favorite foods), alfalfa, sugar beets and soy beans are the top genetically modified crops grown in the US. I guess we will know the true side effects of them in 20 years. Until then safe eating!

Time to organize

 

It's time to go back to the drawing board. New Year's came quick this year and it's time for me to fall in love with blogging all over again. One of my resolutions this year is to remember all the things I love about who I am and not loose sight of that this year. Time to organize my life with the help of my recyclable calendar.

Finally, it's OPEN for business! Fruits Produce BAR is an organic juice bar in West Holywood. The best part is that you can customize your juice by hand-picking what you want.

The Green Truth

I am beyond disappointed that Pressed Juicery doesn't strive to always use organic produce. Huge concern for me since I'm a big fan of Greens 1 and the last thing I want to be gulping down is a bottle of pesticides:/ Below was the response to my email asking if they use organic produce... 

Also, if you ever got pressed juice from Whole Foods come to find out they don't use organic either. What a buzzkill!

Hi Nicole,

Thank you for your email.  We strive to use organic produce whenever possible, but due to the high volume of juice that is being demanded of us sometimes a product becomes unavailable and we have to resort to conventional produce.  Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Yours in health,

So fresh and so clean

I'm not sure if this would fall under the category of an eco- car freshner, but I'm going to go with it. I haven't tried it, but a Trader Joes Employee suggested that I leave a bar of this soap in my car and it works as a great car freshner. Hmmmm... Let you know how it go's!

Green Meets World

While in Texas last year I came across these bracelets that help a great cause. These glass bead bracelets are hand crochet by women in Nepal. Each purchase helps to improve the quality of life for these women and their families. Read all about this at www.lilyandlaura.com!

I love a great detox. Pressed Juicery is my go-to for a healthy cleanse. Locations are in Brentwood and West Hollywood. I'm getting my juice on today and it feels great;)
