Despite my experience of creepy holism on Saturday, I do want to call out my great experience in the realm of holistic products and services on Sunday!  I was hoping something could be redeemed from my first experience, because I honestly didn’t believe that’s all the holistic community had to offer. So! The day after the not-so-great holistic fair, Erewhon (a natural foods store close to my house) had an expo for their 30 year celebration. HALLELEUJAH (sp?) was that refreshing!! It was exactly what I was looking for. Yummy treats, chocolate, coffees, skin care, antioxidants, teas, etc., AND the people were friendly and just happy to be in the sun. Good job Erewhon!

Here are a few of my favorites:
Olivia Care: Bath and Beauty www.oliviacare.com
Righteously Raw: A Gourmet Raw Chocolate Experience www.earthsourceorganics.com
Sacred Chocolate www.sacredchocolate.com

I believe in ending things on a positive note, so I wanted to toot the horn of the very cool holistic community I found on Sunday. And I’d like to thank Erewhon and its vendors for restoring my belief that alternative viewpoints/sciences are approachable, useful, healthy, genuine and totally not creepy.
