organic ~ natural ~ vegan products I'd like to recommend...




1) Bonterra Organic Syrah





I'm not a huge lover of syrah, but we had this wine for my birthday, and it was amazing. Wine Enthusiast touts it as a "complex and elegant wine [that] is certified organic. The bouquet has dimension, with cherry, leather, chalk, meat and cigar-box notes. Lightweight on the palate, it is nicely textured and delivers lots of fruit flavor. Firm acids support the fruit and a cocoa-spice finish wraps it up neatly." Everyone at the table (who all greatly differed in wine preference and knowledge) LOVED it! http://www.winoworld.com/






2) Peppermint and Tea Tree Bath Bar from Boll Weevil Soap Company





This is a shea butter, all-natural soap that feels amazing in the morning. This is the only soap N&I use; even if we go out of town, I pack it. Its fans include Nicholas in Romania and Jenica in Orlando; we send some their way every now and then. It's an Alabama product made by some good friends in Enterprise, AL. Actually, I love everything they sell. The milk bath in herbal garden is my favorite way to relax. Jenica also likes the Sweet Home Alabama scent...warm apples. http://www.bwsoap.com/





3) Figure 8 Chews from Arbonne



Although billed as a "weight loss" product, these are really all-vegan, all-herbal energy chews, and my quality of life/ health/ energy levels have drastically changed since I met them (thank to Liz for the heads up). http://www.arbonne.com


4) Agave Nectar

Most grocery stores, even in Dothan, are carrying this product now. It's an all-natural, light sweetener to which my sister introduced me. GREAT in (light) teas, particularly camomille, jasmine, or berry-based teas. Not so good in lapsang souchou.

HA! Yes! I was in her wedding! And it was very pretty! Jessi and I both played the violin while people walked in.

Are you a vegan or is that just part of the recommendation.
