Beboe – Luxury Cannabis Treats For Your Exquisite Palette

April 29, 2017

Thank all the heavens for Sophia Amoruso. I met the #Girlboss herself, randomly one day at The A List, both of us pulling clothes from the branding powerhouse. Sophia serves up such a generous platter of immediate warmth and no-bullshit girlfriend vibes, that I forgot that we hadn’t grown up together, lived on the same block as 8 year olds or went to camp together. That’s how cool Sophia is. Generous, open, unfiltered. Real. I didn’t even realize that this was The GIRLBOSS – the one who took her “community-college dropout from Sacramento, Calif., with no pedigree” backstory and shoved it up its ass to become the icon that she is today. If only all millennial icons could be this refreshing, I would have way less fear for the future of my daughter. And I am all over Girlboss, the Netflix show – the wake up call for young girls everywhere. Out with lip filler and in with career filler.

That being said, Sophia is a women of exquisite taste. If she is popping something into her Instastory, than you damn well better run out and see what it’s all about. This is how I met the fantastic Brows By Shaila and now…Beboe. Wanna stay up to date with all things cool, funky, inspiring, funny and infused with bad-ass-girl-bossery good taste? Follow Sophia on IG.

Alas, Beboe. The website speaks for itself.

Take a look. Hands down, the classiest act out there. Words cannot describe the elegance. It is sure to entice and be of interest to those who use a gravity bong to get their marijuana fix. And to be honest, the packaging is so stunning, I have yet to open it! And if you are into vapes, edibles and high quality oil (studies report is kills cancer) – this is for you. After reading this article, you may be interested in starting your own cannabis business. But before you can proceed with other aspects of the business, it is important that you remember to obtain a cultivation license first. Fortunately, as the market for medical marijuana grows, and more and more sellers like Beboe develop, so does the technology and support for people wanting to sell cannabis online. There are now companies out there that can assist new sellers with things like general consulting and medical marijuana software. So, anyone entering into this business has plenty of resources at their disposal.

Stasher: self-sealing, airtight, reusable non-plastic bag.

April 15, 2017

stasher is the first first—and only—self-sealing, airtight, reusable non-plastic bag! Made from 100% pure platinum silicone, stasher protects both the planet and your health. stasher can be reused thousands of times, making it a green alternative to plastic, but it also contains no BPA, BPS, phthalates, vinyl, petroleum or other icky chemicals found in plastic, making it safe to cook in (either sous vide or in the microwave) and eat out of.

I love cooking. I’m always in the kitchen, trying out some new foods and equipment. A little while ago, after looking at sous vide reviews, I got a sous vide machine that help me cook food so precisely that it never goes wrong. It allows a better taste of umami and increases juiciness. However, every time you cook with it, you need to use a plastic, sealable bag that you throw away after. I’m quite eco-concious so this didn’t sit that well with me. But now, stasher can allow you to cook with a sous vide machine and reduce waste even more! It’s an amazing perk. stasher is making my kid’s lunch boxes way more fun and green!

1,000+ years for plastic to begin degrading
20m plastic bags to landfill per year
10.5b pounds of plastic generated annually

it’s time to rethink plastic.

Sure, plastic is convenient and easy to use, but there’s no question that it’s toxic to the environment, and more worryingly, to our bodies. fortunately, you now have a healthier option: silicone is a more flexible, sustainable, and safer alternative to plastic, so it’s good for people and the planet.

 

reduce

less really is more—especially when it comes to saving natural resources and protecting the environment. reducing waste means making thoughtful choices every day. the less you throw away, the better for everyone!

+ buy only what you truly need

+ choose sustainably produced products with minimal packaging

+ compost food and organic waste

+ repair instead of buying new

+ borrow infrequently used items

+ take mass transit, ride a bike or walk to work

reuse

do what you can not to throw things in the can! instead, reuse whatever you can; and if you can’t use it, maybe someone else can. not only will you save money, but you’ll be keeping perfectly useful items from going to landfill.

+ always buy reusable vs. disposable items (like stasher!)

+ byob: bring your own (reusable) bags when you shop

+ visit consignment shops, thrift stores and the library

+ donate used clothes, books and household items

+ organize a neighborhood garage sale

recycle

cans, bottles, paper, minerals, timber, electronics, and more can now be repurposed instead of going to landfill. recycling reduces waste, conserves resources, saves energy, helps prevent pollution and reduces greenhouse gases. recycling also creates jobs and saves money—it’s a win-win for everyone!

+ participate in curbside recycling programs

+ recycle large appliances and building supplies

+ check with your local waste management company to learn more about e-waste recycling programs in your area

+ buy products made with recycled materials

rethink

of all the 4 rs, this one might be the easiest. simply changing the way you think can make a big difference. learn to be more conscious about what you buy, and what you throw away. make thoughtful choices every day, and you’ll see how little things add up over time.

+ make smarter choices when you buy

+ reconsider what you throw away

+ share what you can: rides, stuff, food

+ get involved (volunteer for beach clean up days, create a community garden, organize a neighborhood garage sale)

silicone vs. plastic

silicone is more flexible, sustainable and safer than plastic

GO MACRO : A bar I can feel good about

April 7, 2017

GoMacro recently completed Certified R.A.W.™ and Certified C.L.E.A.N.™ labels for all of our products!

Here’s the thing – I am a HUGE bar eater. I devour my Quests and my One bars and while they are low of the right things (sugar, fat, etc..) and high of the right things (fiber, protein) – I can’t help feeling that I am not eating real, whole food. And it’s an issue – because I might do a breakfast AND lunch in a bar.

Enter GO MACRO. Not only has it received Certified R.A.W.™ and Certified C.L.E.A.N.™ classification for the company’s entire line of products – it’s amazing. All of them. So now, if I grab a bar, I know I am eating whole foods, real foods, not to mention Certified R.A.W.™ and Certified C.L.E.A.N.™

The new certifications establish the first internationally recognized definition of what constitutes “raw” and “clean” for packaged food products. Certified R.A.W.™ and Certified C.L.E.A.N.™ go well beyond traditional “organic” and “non-GMO” classifications to encompass a deeper review of ingredient integrity that includes ethical food production, measuring levels of bio-available enzymes, nutritional density and minimal processing.

GoMacro is among the first nationally distributed food brand to attain Certified R.A.W. and Certified C.L.E.A.N. classification for 100% of the company’s products.

As a company founded upon clean and delicious plant-based food creations, GoMacro has always sought the least processed, cleanest ingredients available.

“At GoMacro the basis for all our recipes have always been minimally processed plant-based ingredients that are as nutritionally dense as they are delicious,” said Jola Sonkin, co-Founder and CEO of GoMacro, “We’re pleased to lead the natural food industry by attaining these new certifications for all our products and hope Certified R.A.W. and Certified C.L.E.A.N. creates clarity and easier choices for our customers.”

All GoMacro products will officially carry the Certified R.A.W. and Certified C.L.E.A.N. label starting in March 2017. For more information, please visit GoMacro.com and CleanFoodCertified.org.

Certified R.A.W.™

Real: 100% safe, must be 100% non-GMO and a majority of the ingredients must be organic.

Alive: ingredients must have a high amount of bio-available enzymes.

Whole: minimally processed, (below 212 degrees) and must have a high ANDI nutrient score.

Certified C.L.E.A.N.™

Live: minimally processed (below 212 degrees) and organically grown ingredients.

Ethical: ingredients must be100% non-GMO and humanely manufactured.
