When you're a health junky and organic-loving gal, you gotta love when all your favorite brands are all in one expo for a three-day weekend.
Expo West in Anaheim is like a Disneyland experience for people who love sustainable and organic products. Walking up to the expo, vendors hand you coconut water and walking through the aisles your hunger will be sustained with protein bar samples. You'll do probiotic shots with CEOs of the big brands (with big earth-loving hearts) and when you're a blogger covering the event, you'll take selfies. Lots and lots of selfies. You'll also get samples. This is fun because even with the brands that I know and love I haven't tried EVERYTHING that lines the shelves of Whole Foods. And even more exciting, some of these brands are brand new and in the upcoming months as they hit the shelves of my local health food stores, I'll cheer for them as if they were my favorite sports team.
Getting to sample the goods and learn about each product's ingredients and each brand's commitment to their product and the environment has influenced my personal buying practices.
I now usePitayaPlus for my organic, fiber filled margaritas. (I mean, that's where my mind went as soon as I saw this vibrant, fushia gem. Not to Instagram smoothy bowls, but to margaritas for a "nutritional" purpose.)
I've also been using Ripple that uses peas to make non-dairy milk, instead of water intensive almonds.
I fell in love withJack fruit and their sumptuous meaty flavor filled with fiber and none of the guilt. You'll see it in all my grocery cart Instagram pics.

Living an organic lifestyle doesn't have to be expensive or hard. I mean, it can be, but there are easier ways...
I'm the chick that promotes the best products with the biggest bang for your buck - products that are good for your body and have the least impact on the environment (and they're tasty, too!). I'm the chick that makes organic DIY easy-peasy. And there's some cool stuff coming up on this site. You like Giveaways? Whoop Whoop! Follow me my new friends... Looking for something?
