Shopping 'au natural'

I knew that would get your attention. Now take your mind out of the gutter. I'm not talking about shopping nude.......although that may be a new way to keep people out of the junk food aisle.....I'm talking about visiting a whole foods or a natures market. You should have one in your city or town, you know, the healthy grocery store. 
The moment I walk into my local whole foods market, I feel so good about where I am. I already know that I have new, different and exciting items to check out. I can actually read the  labels and it feels great that I understand the ingredients. I like the different options available to me. I enjoy the hunt to find that one perfect product that I can enlighten my husband with. 
My husband, Kees,  is such a great support. He sees the excitement in my eyes when I show him something new and tell him that it's going to better for our bodies and our planet. My husband actually likes vegan mayo,  I thought it would be a tough switch for the burger and fries guy.
By no means I have completely switched our lifestyle to organic or vegan...I believe the little things make the biggest difference, and keeps everyone happy.  So visit a whole foods or organic market sometime.....try a natural bar of soap or an organic peach, it's fun, you support local farmers, and most of all you may just make the best dinner ever....then you can serve it 'au natural'.......if you know what I mean..... I dare you!!!!

New blogger in town

A new blogger is in town.

As I am new to the scene, I hope to inspire my niche to come back for more. I choose not to sit by and fill your minds with garbage.
Eco-cafe was created to attract like minded and curious humans of the world who want to feel better about themselves inside and out.
Have you ever read a food or product label and thought.......WTF!!!!! I have no idea what that is.
Have you ever applied a product to your body and a few minutes later wondered why your itchy or your eyes water to no end?

I understand we have no control over some of our allergic reactions. I am not talking about the bee stings or dander.......I am talking about the mild.... ahhh its nothing.......I just have to get used to it... reactions.
Many products we buy and use on a regular basis contain a lot of crap. I think it is important for everyone to have a place to read about it.
I try on a daily basis to make the smart decisions for my health.....so should you!
In closing I choose to make eco-cafe a gathering place of knowledge, beauty, nutrition, and most of all fun.
Please come back, comment, ask questions. That is what is going to make this place great.
