A few months ago (if you can remember), Green News Guide introduced you to a company called 2 2 Days Nutrition . 22 Days Nutrition offers a vegan meal delivery program along with a range of other health and wellness products. I was able to try the 5-day 2x vegan meal per day program. Here are five reasons why you might want to try them out! 1. Plant Based, Vegan, Organic, Gluten Free, Soy Free and Dairy Free Yes there are quite a few diet delivery programs available to individuals seeking to lose weight or for the mere, simple convenience of having pre-prepared meals. 22 Days Nutrition is the first of its kind. There are currently no other vegan meal delivery programs on the market!! Combine that with also being gluten free and soy free. This kind of food delivery service is extremely hard to come by! 2. Packaging is Recyclable Your vegan meals will arrive in a brown box wrapped snugly in a reusable cooler surrounded by reusable gel packs.You can store the gel packs in your fr

Air pollution is a huge problem in the United States. It is currently one of the world's largest environmental issues that continues to plague and disrupt the health and general well-being of human beings. Approximately 7 million people died as a result of air pollution in 2015. The World Health Organization has reported that 1 in 8 deaths are caused by air pollution exposure. There is no doubt that the transportation sector has made a negative impact on the environment. Every day, vehicles and other modes of transport emit serious pollutants such as CO2 (carbon dioxide), SO2 (sulfur dioxide), MOx (mono nitrogen oxides) and CO (carbon monoxide). The emission of these pollutants affect air quality. Modes of road transport such as cars have a greater effect on air quality than non-road transport. This essentially means that vehicles on the road contribute more to air pollution than your average powerplant. Cars may get you from point A to point B much faster than a clean t

SOS Naturals I was pleased to find this all natural mosquito repellent from SOS Naturals. Mosquitos are certainly a bother during the summer months.  While it hasn’t been tried out for effectiveness, you'll be pleased to know that it did win “Best Natural Product” in Long Island. Mosquito repellants purchased in stores tend to have weird smelling scents. Not this one!!! The scent is quite pleasant!  SOS Naturals makes an array of therapeutic sprays and miscellaneous skin care items.  Visit the website at: http://www.sosnaturalproducts.com

Chocolate Moonshine Co Upon walking into the Green Festival Expo, we caught sight of a display with all these colorful, artisan fudge bars.  These bars are yummylicious!!! They really are 'illegally good' as their motto states! They are of the soft, melt in your mouth variety. I purchased strawberry cheesecake, sea salt caramel, and mint chocolate. They are made using imported Belgian chocolate.  The bars are gluten free, egg free, handmade and all natural! The artisan bars aren’t sold online or in stores.  Chocolate moonshine co is available as a pop up retail shop and for special events. Shop Chocolate Moonshine:  https://www.chocolatemoonshine.com/

The FayFarm The FayFarm had a three for 20 deal at their vendor area.  Hemp is a featured ingredient in The Fayfarm’s products.  I purchased the Healing Hemp Salve which contains Hemp, herb infused olive, castor and avocado oils, beeswax, CBD oil & essential oils.  This salve is good for moisturizing rough patches or spots.  The product is supposed to be effective at healing those suffering from eczema, psoriasis, ichthyosis, burns and bug bites.  The CBD oil present acts as a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory agent. Tasty CBD Chews come in a pack of four and are infused with 100mg of caffeine and 5mg of CBD oil, vitamin B12, Vitamin B6. These chews are great whenever you need that kick or jolt to get your day going! not a huge fan of caffeine being in the product.  The flavor sour apple is featured here. The last item we received was a soft Frisbee made from hemp! It held up fairly well outside during a game of Frisbee.  It would also make a nice toy for a pet! Visit the website

There were so many amazing brands and companies that were in attendance at the 2016 Green Festival Expo in NYC. Here is a product review of one of cosmetic company, Hush + Dotti. Hush + Dotti Review Firstly…can I just talk about the name of this company?! Hush + Dotti is such a cute name!!!! Oh, how I love it!  I stopped by the Hush & Dotti’s vendor area when I saw all the pretty organic lipsticks and other cosmetics that were organized on the table.  Dina was very pleasant in answering questions that I had about the products.  I remember asking her if the one shade of red lipstick was the only one they carried.  It was nice but I desired a hue that was a bit brighter!  Instead, I opted for a coral colored lipstick, which looks fantastic on tanned/darker complexions.  The shade name is Dotti.  I also chose a lip gloss that is a glossy shade of burgundy in shade Wendi.  It’s pretty amazing!!  The packaging is really chic and minimal for cosmetics.  The lipsticks are in a standard bl

In Harmony Naturals I was happy to find a few cosmetic companies at Green Festival, NYC.  The next table that I stopped at was In Harmony, LLC.  They carry mineral makeup and skin care products.  The woman behind the table matched me to a foundation and I was surprised by how alluring it looked on my skin.  This foundation is definitely buildable in  light-medium coverage.  I have used it as a finishing powder for counteracting the shine from my liquid foundation.  When you open the foundation, you’ll see the holes that allow for the minerals to come out.  Using your mineral makeup brush, you just shake the product slightly and sweep your brush against the opening and apply it to your face.  It offers a nice, matte finish. The price was $35. The pecan shade is a little darker than what I expected after doing a full face.  I’d recommend In Harmony design a shade between pecan and walnut. The other product that I purchased from In Harmony Naturals is a lavender body butter.  It claims to
