Ivey might no longer need to eat baby food but that doesn’t seem to stop her from eating her favorite items from Ella’s Kitchen.
For example, last night while we were hanging out with our neighbors, one of the kids happened to leave their sweet potatoes, pumpkin, apple, blueberries briefly unattended – next thing I knew Ivey was helping herself to it (see picture above).
Recently they added a few new favors to their assortment and they were kind enough to send us samples of the following:
There is just something about the quality of the ingredients and the convenience of the packaging that makes Ella’s Kitchen something both Ivey and I can agree on. They taste so great that I find myself eating them as well. They are the perfect dose of healthy organic fruits and veggies! The packaging is perfect for when you running out the door plus they are MUCH better for you than a nasty V8.
On a recent trip to Bolinas I stopped into Judith’s Herbals and purchased the following products:
- Jojoba Hair Conditioning Oil
- Organic Avocado Oil
- Morningdew Moisturizer
- Golden Seal & Myrrh Mouthwash
These products are great but what I fell in love with was the packaging. I am a total sucker for beautiful blue glass bottles and old school labels. Not only does colored glass block UV rays, which helps increase the product’s shelf life, but they can be redeemed at Judith’s when you are done with them. Organic ingredients, Glass containers and bottle deposits might seem right out of the 1920’s but these three things makes Judith’s Herbals an amazing eco-friendly find, even more so if you are willing to ride your bike from San Francisco to buy them.
I am bummed. I’m totally out of coconut oil. While swirling my fingers along the edges of the jar to salvage any possible remains, I realized it was time to feature my favorite coconut oil as my product of the week. It’s a purchase we can both make together!
This is a great example of why I eagerly jumped on board with OpenSky in the first place. I am a product junkie. It’s my passion. I love finding great products that I truly love and confidently recommending them to you (my reader). As I refill my personal stock of my favorite products, I write about them and provide you with a direct link to buy it from me (your loyal blogger). It’s shopping made easy for you…by me!
Anyways, this particular product has a ridiculously low margin. I make less than one buck on this bad boy, so I’m not selling you on this for any reason other than that I am about to press BUY NOW and you should too, because as my disappointing face shows…we’re both living sadly sans coconut oil.
But Kelly what will I do with 30 oz. of coconut oil? And why would life with a jar of coconut oil be that much better?
Well glad you asked! Here are a few fabulous ideas:
- First separate the 30 oz into two jars. One for your kitchen and one for your bathroom (or where ever you keep your body care products).
- Apply a small amount to the ends of your hair. Coconut oil is an amazing natural conditioner for your hair. It contains essential proteins for nourishing damaged hair. Plus it give your hair a nice shine.
- Apply it to your scalp before you wash your hair. Regularly massaging your head with coconut oil helps fight dandruff.
- Apply to your feet. Coconut oil is antimicrobial, antioxidant, antifungal, and antibacterial which should cure those stinky feet and athlete’s foot.
- Use it as a replacement for mineral oil. It is better for you and the environment!
- Put it on your baby’s butt. Yep, it works wonders on diaper rash too.
- Eat it! Replace butter and other oils in your diet. Coconut oil adds a nice flavor to your food and has a lot of health benefits.
I am CRAZY for this virgin coconut oil (a.k.a. VCO) and you will be too!
About this series: Every week I pick a product from my shop and let you know why I love it. When possible, I will work with OpenSky and/or the Supplier to bring you a discount for the week that product is featured. All products featured are ones I feel are either GOOD for you and/or GOOD for the environment. I really hope you find these products to be as FUN and FABULOUS as I do.
