I've been a member for quite awhile now, having bought several books from One Spirit. Each month, they email me the "featured selection" which I can simply accept or decline after clicking on link within email. What's new and cool now is that one can listen to CDs (see box in lower left corner of home page--"Now Featuring"). Love the bright green page too!

I'm thoroughly delighted to find such thorough information at my fingertips! If you're concerned about the health, well-being and principles behind products, this is the the HUB where you should read up about cosmetic products before purchasing. Cosmeticsdatabase.com is part of the Environmental Working Group (EWG). Articles are based on scientific research, not mumbo-jumbo or hype about why you should buy this or that... if you really love research, check out the methodology section for graphs and math equations. I love the no-frills approach to details, especially about sunscreens and "designer fragrances". Enlightening. The small colored dots that rank sunscreens from safe to unsafe eliminates more than 1000 choices to a mere 100 or so, so as a wise consumer it can make choosing less daunting. Another perk of this website is that 8.5% of total purchase on Amazon will help support further research by EWR. Cosmetics research reflects a small segment of this organization's intention to enlighten others about our environment and each other within it. If you care about yourself, others and truly believe we can help make the world a better place, then you'll love this website.

Very intricate, lots of details, almost overwhelming amount of information, though very honest business. Silpada jewelry is high quality, creative pieces that you'd normally find in an expensive boutique store. Believe me, it's WAY COOLER to see, touch & try on the pieces than just looking at them online. Selecting one of the photos from horizontal montage in middle of website enlarges them, then zeroing in more on little white flashing orbs within the photo reveals more details about each piece which I think's pretty cool. A Silpada party is way more fun and less pressure than in a store, especially if you like to still like to play "dress up" with your girlfriends.

COLORFUL, CREATIVE, MOUTH-WATERING. Matches their fantastic menu featuring sustainable seafood--YEA! Printable coupon on website. Links to two other affiliated restaurants (taquerias)--one in downtown Monterey and another in Seaside. All serve fresh fish in a myriad of ways. Cookbook can be purchased also, features not only great recipes, but interesting facts about jungle animals. What website doesn't tell you is there is a very sweet little old lady hostess greeting you at the Fishwife Asilomar.

Website's tightly woven--concise, thorough and answers many questions that weren't covered during my visit. Their facility is state-of-the-art with huge TV screen and large painted collages in waiting area. They ask for $130 payment up front. What the website DOESN'T tell consumers is that Dr. G is a very handsome, young physician who didn't tell me what was wrong with my knee on x-ray, to continue running, type of running shoes had nothing to do with knee pain, suggested that I watch other runners from the sidelines of a 5K, to read about the history of marathons and to come back for an MRI if I had further pain. I found out more useful information and felt more listened to when I drove 80 miles to Kaiser.

I'm perennially curious about what's in things and how they affect us so I can choose better...
