1)EVERYDAY MINERALS: http://www.everydayminerals.com/index.php

This is the Email correspondence from them...

Hello JoAnna,

Thank you for contacting us. Our products are vegan based, free of carmine, nuts, lake dyes, fragrance, bismuth oxychloride and parabens. In our lip gloss, we use a mix of 95% blend of natural mixed tocopherols isolated from soybean oil and concentrated to contain naturally occurring d-alpha, d-beta, d-gamma and d-delta tocopherols.

You can always view the ingredients prior to making your purchase. :) Simply click on the product you are interested in, (scroll down) and the ingredient tab will appear at the bottom of the page. Once you click on the ingredient tab, you will see a complete ingredient listing there.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Cristy,

Everyday Minerals













ARE NOT 100% (or ones that are in a tree nut faucilty.)

Alima: so....
(I called them and they said they are GLUTEN.PEANUT.AND TREE NUT FREE), But then i wrote them and got this reponse, and they said they share a faucilty with other cosmetic companies so they can't be sure of coss-contamination..... :(

Simplify Yet Beautify.
That old adage that less is more is the secret to Alima Pure’s success. It sometimes seems that the beauty industry is all about more—more tan, more lashes, more sculpted, more products. But we found that cosmetics don’t need lots of ingredients that you can’t pronounce to bring your inner beauty to the surface. It’s not about what’s in our products; it’s about what’s not. Here’s a little secret we discovered along the way to becoming an international sensation:
Hi JoAnna,
Thank you for contacting Alima Pure. Our products do not contain nuts, peanuts or gluten. However, the facility is not a certified nut-free facility. Please let us know if there is anything additional that we can assist you with.

Have a lovely day!

Kind Regards,
Dea
Alima Pure Customer Care

Dr.Bronners is safe I called them and they said there is no cross contamination with nuts and peantuts or gluten.
http://www.drbronner.com/coconut_oils.php
Products Description:
 Our white kernel and whole kernel VCO is cold-pressed from fresh carefully dried coconuts, giving it a delicious aroma. Versatile and healthy, VCO can be used for stir-frying, sauces, baking and body care. Extensive field research in the tropics shows that people who follow a traditional diet high in coconut oil enjoy excellent cardiovascular health. Clinical research confirms that VCO improves blood cholesterol by increasing the ratio of HDL to LDL cholesterol, due in part to saturated medium chain fatty acids (MCT's) such as lauric.
Whole kernel oil, which is made from the kernel with its "parings" is more nutritious and has a slightly nuttier flavor whereas white kernel oil offers a choice to consumers who are familiar with this grade. Both grades are versatile and healthy along with being organic and fair trade.

I WILL NOT BE USING THIS COMPANY....TOO MANY ISSUES OF CROSS-CONTAMINTION :(

JoAnna's Rocki'n Kimchi

Hello all here is my Rock'in Kimchie Recipe,  everyday staple in our home!

Health Benifits of Kimchi:
Fermented foods are a really important part of our diet and have been used in many cultures as a way to preserve foods and make them more digestible. Why are fermented foods important? Here's the deal. We all have microflora (bacteria) in our intestine which is absolutely necessary to keep us healthy. In the body, there is "good" bacteria and "bad" bacteria and it's important to keep the "good" bacteria thriving. Fermented foods contain populations of the "good" bacteria that help to keep the microflora balanced. This is necessary because antibiotics are so prevalent in our world (especially in modern agriculture production) and they kill the bacteria in your body, regardless of whether it is "good" or "bad."

*kid approved!  ;)
Hello all here is my Rock'in Kimchie Recipe, Its kinda a mixture of Korean and non-traditional, using Sea Salt instead of Vinegar, I have posted allot of variations too so make it to suit your taste buds, But above all MAKE IT!!!!!  :) its soo good and I everyday staple in our home!

I find that Organic Veggies Ferment allot better, But of course if you cant find everything Organic that is ok, Try to do local all natural if you can! :)
