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 to Ayurveydic circles as “shilajeet.” It has been used in healing remedies for almost 60 years. Many individuals in these circle...

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...

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.

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...
