Fans of Indian cuisine here in Manhattan are often fiercely loyal to restaurants located in neighborhoods like 6th Street in the East Village or the stretch of lower Lexington Avenue known as Curry Hill. But I like to explore neighborhoods that are maybe not known for having the highest number of Indian restaurants per-block, and see what options there are for dining outside my immediate stomping grounds.

With the holidays coming up,  Eco Lips has just introduced their  Candy Cane Organic Lip Balm, which comes in the brand’s revolutionary Plant Pod, a patented 100% plastic-free, plant-based packaging that looks and acts like a regular tube.

It may not be enough to rely just on that little green and white emblem found on packaged items to live a really clean, organic lifestyle. While organically grown food is always better than conventionally grown food, conducting your study and knowing where your food originates from is your best bet.

There can be no doubt that the blissful monk wrapped in a Pink robe is what initially attracts potential buyers to this package of Lesser Evil organic popcorn with Himalayan Pink Salt. To me,  popcorn is the most addictive of snack foods, and being organic with all kinds of tasty ingredients, I’m sure this is delicious. I wish I had some right now.

Do you like Tea? I sure do. Hot, Iced, Whatever; Tea is a marvelous drink whose appeal transitions seamlessly from season to season.
