 With nationwide emphasis on healthier eating, especially for schoolchildren, many food manufacturing companies are beginning to offer healthier snack options. Peeled Snacks is ahead of the curve. This company started in 2004 offers simple 100% natural dried fruit snacks. Simple is the key description. When you purchase dried fruit from other companies, you might find sulfites and similar preservatives. Look at the ingredient on the back of a Peeled Snack package and it simply states the dried fruit. Nothing else. The taste of naturally dried fruit, whether you try the mango, cherry or apricot is delicious. These great fruit snacks are now available at Starbucks in the US and Canada. A simple concept that is well executed. For more product information, please visit www.peeledsnacks.com or visit www.starbucks.comI have partnered with Peeled Snacks to host a product giveaway!!! The product giveaway winner will receive a Organic Fruit Variety Pack. This giveaway will be randomly selected among registered email program members by September 30th.

 I have partnered with a new organic beauty company, Head Organics, to offer one of my lucky email program members a free assortment of Head Organics hair products. I've tried their natural shampoo and conditioner. I love how the shampoo leaves my hair feeling clean and smooth. The accompanying conditioner generates a rich lather that leaves my hair silky and smooth (I didn't have to spend 10-15 minutes detangling my hair after the shower which I usually do when I use less effective conditioners). This is a brand new organic hair beauty company that already has great practices in place. Their haircare products do not contain any synthetic fragrance, sulfates, parabens, phthalates, etc. Their products are 100% vegan as well! Their products contain renewable, beneficial plant based ingredients.

 I really enjoy drinking organic tea. However, I am quite sensitive to the caffeine found in coffee and teas. So, I am always trying to alternate between drinking caffeinated and decaffeinated teas and coffee. I have recently tried the organic papaya pineapple decaffeinated green tea from LeafSpa. There are real dried bits of papaya and loose green tea in the gorgeous tin can container. These air tight containers keep the aroma and the scent of the tea leaves lasting longer. I love the sweet papaya scent with the rich green tea aroma. You can steep the tea leaves as long as you want based on your taste preference. Leafspa.com teas are USDA Organic certified.

 Now that the weather is warmer, I decided to get some highlights in my hair. In order to preserve the color and protect my fine hair, I tried using Nature's Gate Organic Fruit Blend Grapefruit and Wild Ginger Conditioner. Nature's Gate Organic products contain no phthalates or parabens, sodium lauryl/laureth sulfates and are made with certified organic botanicals. To top it off, their ingredients are locally grown in California (which is great since it limits the use of imported organic products, while organic products are great in general, it's best to get organic products, locally produced since it requires less energy to get to the manufacturing site). Nature's Gate is part of a new growing trend in organic companies, not only are products certified organic, they are locally sourced as well.
The conditioner comes in a generous 12 fl oz bottle. I love the fruity scent and smooth hair that it leaves behind.

 When I think of my elementary school days, I remember having a lot of fun playing with friends. But I think my best memories to date revolve around getting new school supplies in the beginning of the school year. I've continued my passion (obsessions?) with school/office supplies when I entered the corporate world and actually secretly enjoyed when my office was moved to another location every six months or so (it was a great opportunity for me to update my office arrangements and supplies). Sometimes school supplies have such sentimental value, I came across my husband's highschool binder filled with his baseball card collection (I will upload a photo of his graffiti binder once I get my refurnished digital camera back). It's amazing that somehow this binder survived four moves. I think I'll show it to our kids when they are a bit older. www.NakedBinder.com offers 100% recycled project binders in a range of colors/sizes. These binders are also 100% recyclable. Their binders are the most eco-friendly recyclable binders in the planet since it's made of 100% post consumer materials and is also 100% recyclable. The feel/texture is reminiscent of my husband's binder. Brings back great memories. A set of four binders from www.NakedBinder.com will be randomly given away to one of the email program members by April 30th, so join the free Eco-friendlyliving.com Email program today by submitting your contact information in the "Join Free Email Program" section of this website.

Having children are expensive and not particularly eco-friendly considering how many millions of traditional diapers, wipes and other baby products are filling up landfills all over the world. It makes me feel better using eco-friendly baby products. www.Chotobaby.com is an exclusive distributor of Gaia natural baby products. I love the Gaia natural bamboo wipes. They are alcohol free, durable, soft and 100% biodegradable. I also love the Gaia baby massage oil. The gentle lavender chamomile scent is soothing and helps protect my young children's sensitive skin. For more product information, please visit www.Chotobaby.com.

 When I use organic products, I feel great because I know that it's healthier for my family and me. Well, can we do more than just use organic products? The answer is yes. By purchasing organic products from companies that contribute a portion of their proceeds to environmental efforts, we know that it is a great step towards helping our environment. I have recently tried the Oasis Fruit Shampoo and Conditioner products from www.saveyourworld.com. The ingredients include organic aloe and yerba mate (if you've read my product review on Yerba Mate, you know that their antioxidant properties exceed organic green tea). I love the fruity fragrant scent. www.Saveyourworld.com has partnered with the Conservation International (environmental organization with worldwide conservation programs) to contribute a portion of their profits towards rainforest conservation. Therefore, by purchasing organic products from www.Saveyourworld.com, you are helping rainforest conservation efforts.

 "I love it, I love it... Mommy buy more." This usually gets me to stock up on whatever favorite food fad my kids are having at the moment. However, once I stock up on whatever item it is, they soon become tired of eating it. So, I've learned to exercise restraint in stockpiling supposedly favorite foods and encourage them to try new nutritional snacks and foods.
Today, we tried Edward and Sons Exotic Rice Toast (Thai Red Rice and Flaxseeds) Grain Squares. It is gluten free with 0g trans fat. We loved the thin crispy taste of the slightly toasted and salted grain squares (aka crackers). We finished the box in less than ten minutes (which is okay since there is only 240 calories in a box). Flaxseed embedded in snacks are great because I always forget to add flaxseed in foods that I'm preparing for meals. Edward and Sons offer gluten free organic vegetarian foods (everything from snacks to vegetables). The company started in 1978, so they are pioneers in offering healthy foods.
For more information about their products, visit www.edwardandsons.com. Their products are available at a number of specialty health food stores and you can also purchase their products online as well.
