Mare’s Favorite Finds for Kids from #ExpoWest 2013
I love going to ExpoWest, even though my dogs bark pretty loudly by the end of it…seriously, I think my bottom half wanted to secede from my top half midway through Day #2. This year, as with every year, I got all inspired by the people I met and the cool trends I observed. And this year, as with every year, I found lots of wonderful gems that I hope to be able to find on a nearby retail shelf sometime soon. Here goes my roundup of the best kid products for holistically-minded Moms from Expo West 2013: Best Kid … Continue reading
Best of Expo West 2012 Roundup: Mare’s Favorite Kids Products
Not everything at Expo West 2012 was for eating or drinking. Lucky for us natural mothers, the natural health industry knows we are trying to raise natural children. This year’s Expo West featured several baby and children’s products that I would just LOVE to have in my medicine cabinet, travel bag, diaper bag, playroom, and home. Here they are, in no particular order (except the order in which they sprang to my brain): Best Kids’ Medicinal Line: Herbs for Kids. I really liked this range of herbal products formulated especially for kids by trained herbalist, Sunny Mavor. A lot of … Continue reading

Best of Expo West 2012 Roundup: Mare’s Favorite Beverages
It wasn’t all about the edibles at the recent Expo West 2012. There are also a ton of delicious potables coming to market…and here are some of my absolute favorites from the recent Expo West 2012 show in Anaheim, CA. Favorite Healthy Beverage: Sneaky Pete’s Naturally Oatstanding Beverage (pictured above). These yummy drinks help you “sneak” fiber into you and your kids’ diets. Made from an old family recipe that involves oats, each 12-ounce bottle of Sneaky Pete’s contains 3 grams of dietary oat fiber (2 grams of which are heart-supporting soluble fiber) and only 40 calories. The sweeteners are … Continue reading

Best of Expo West 2012 Roundup: Mare’s Favorite Foods
Natural mothers, rejoice! At the recent Expo West, there was an explosion of delectable and nutritious foods coming to market at a health store near you. I decided to pick out my favorites and share them with you here. Best Cheese Substitute: Teese Vegan Cheese. My main “beef” with most vegan and soy cheeses is that they don’t melt very well. Rather, they become somewhat hard and lumpy after heating, and I really don’t like that. In contrast, Teese vegan cheese melts extremely well – I tasted the one that is good for nacho sauce, and it was delish. It … Continue reading
Interesting Trends from Expo West 2012
I just got back last night from another pilgrimage to the Natural Products Expo West show, where the natural foods and natural health industry converge annually to stop traffic in Anaheim. Well, obviously, the purpose was not to stop traffic, but the size and scale of the show was and is such that traffic was, for all intents and purposes, stopped on Katella Avenue. My maiden voyage to Expo West was last year and it was…mind-blowing. So I determined to make my way there again this year – even if it meant leaving my little girl behind for a weekend … Continue reading
