the story

Kale has become a key step in improving my energy, patience, sense of calm and health. Before switching to a kale smoothie for breakfast, I was a poster child for boxed cereals. Ate my breakfast from a box all my life until I took a nutrition workshop by Joan Palmer of Real Food Matters. At her workshop, I sampled new foods and I finally discovered I had options. After that, I started making a version of Joan's breakfast smoothie:

Recipe:
Large leaf of fresh kale
cup of frozen blueberries
4-6 frozen strawberries
Add enough rice milk or water to blend. Drink. Create variations. I discovered that collard greens (also incredibly rich in nutrients) have a slightly milder taste. I dove in with a full serving of kale, but I could've started with only half a leaf to ease my way in. The other great discovery was that as my body realized how good this breakfast felt, my taste buds appreciated the smoothie and now it's the boxed cereals that taste dull.

Plus, after a few months of this new breakfast, I suddenly realized I no longer craved that nap on the weekends. And more importantly, I no longer felt a constant sense of anxiety that I had always chalked up to the challenges of self-employment. Turns out it wasn't the self-employment, it was the food I was eating!

the t-shirt

The T-shirts are earth-friendly and made out of organic & pesticide-free, insecticide- free fabrics! The shirts are a mix of organic cotton & hemp. The fabric has texture but is soft. And hemp is such an environmentally great plant that it'll make you smile just by knowing what a difference you are making by choosing this over a conventionally grown fiber.

And the kid's bamboo cotton shirts, well, they are just luxuriously soft, hands down.

The t-shirt manufacturer has lots of fun, cool information about hemp, organic cotton & bamboo so you can learn the difference you make by choosing organic fibers. Click here to learn more.
