Better than a Birthday… it’s Earth Day! Here at Perfect Supplements we are celebrating all month long by giving Mama Earth (and everyone who lives here) the gift of trees! We are planting one tree with every order in April through the non-profit organization One Tree Planted, with a goal of 2,000 trees. We have joined the Million Tree Challenge to reforest California after last year’s devastating forest fires. Trees, Glorious…

Read moreIt’s October 16th which means that Halloween is just a few weeks away! We’ve got some very spooky weather in Rhode Island today. The sky is grey and dreary in stark contrast against the fluorescent orange leaves and it’s definitely got me in the mood for Halloween! Do you know what you are being for Halloween this year? Pinterest is a great place to find costume ideas and it’s also…
Read moreFall is at its glorious peak here in the Northeast- the air is crisp, the leaves are brilliant, and the harvest is bountiful. With so much beauty and so many opportunities for fall fun, it’s easy to make the most of this season. I had the wonderful opportunity to spend this past weekend in one New England’s most quintessential fall towns: Woodstock, Vermont! We spent the weekend hiking Mt. Tom,…
Read moreI had the wonderful pleasure of spending this past weekend Woodstock, VT. Did you know that Vermont is rated the best state for eating local and organic food? Earlier this year, a small non-profit organization tallied the number of farmer’s markets, CSAs, food hubs, and farm-to-school programs per state. The first three categories were then divided per 100,000 residents. Farmers markets and CSAs were weighted at 30 percent each, while…

The Jack-o’-Lantern always glows a little brighter when you’ve guessed the weight of your hand-picked pumpkin, and we can all agree that nothing says Fall like missing the Patriot’s game because you’re long lost in a family carved corn maze. During the months of September through…
Read moreTerie is this week’s winner…we are happy to see that someone is still focused on health this holiday season. Healthy Holidays? I have to admit that focusing on my health is one of the first things to go when things get busy. It is more challenging to find time for healthy grocery shopping, planning meals, and even getting adequate sleep when there are so many other responsibilities. Exercise? Who’s got…
Read moreThe Fateful Fork – Each Bite of Food Takes You to Disease…or Health written by Eve Gabriel, M.S. clearly explains why “cheap” food isn’t really cheap if it makes you sick. Medication, doctors, and hospital visits due to poor dietary choices are very expensive (heart burn, headaches, allergies, heart disease, high blood pressure, etc).
