When we think of Mother’s Day gifts, we usually think about what to buy. This year, consider making something. Handmade gifts are the best, and moms love them because they come from the heart.
So then, what to make? When we were kids, mommas would take care of our every need. They would feed us, dress us, hug us and kiss us. They bathed us as babies and made sure our skin was properly cared for. They checked us for chafing and anomalies, and made sure the products they used were gentle and right for our skin. We were happy!

With the upcoming Earth Day celebration on April 22nd, it is fitting that we take a moment to reflect on how we’re treating our planet and what we can do about it. We’ve compiled a few thoughts mainly from the information gathered by the United Nations, which has been studying this issue for some time.
Climate Change, which used to be referred to as Global warming, continues to be a “hot” topic for debate. Is our planet actually heating up? Are humans responsible? What can you do about it?

February is American Heart Month, so it is fitting that we take a moment to consider the impact of heart disease on society and our personal health.
Almost half of adults set New Year’s resolutions to improve their health, only to abandon them by the end of the first month—not to speak of staying on track for six months or longer—according the University of Pennsylvania research. We mean well, we just have difficulty figuring it out.
With so many tasty and tempting meals and snacks to enjoy this Christmas season, oh! how easy it is to gain a few pounds. How does one maintain healthy eating habits over the holidays and still celebrate? This is especially challenging for those of us who will attend a number of socials.
Our newest Down to Earth store will be a 13,000 square foot location just a few blocks mauka of the SALT at Our Kaka’ako cultural center. Down to Earth will be on the ground floor of a mid-rise development called Keauhou Lane at the corner of Keawe and Pohukaina Streets.
Kaka’ako is part of the urban core of Honolulu that is experiencing explosive growth. The development itself will have 209 residential units and other retailers. It is on the same block as another development that will be 40 stories high and have 388 units and a rail transit station.
This upcoming Thanksgiving holiday is a great reminder to count our blessings. One way to do this is to take 15 minutes out of the year and meditate on Gratitude. This is becoming an increasingly important topic in the mainstream healthcare and yoga communities. For good reason. Feeling and expressing gratitude can have a profound effect on your life—especially if you do it on a daily basis, all year round.
In the summer of 2015, a GMO food labeling bill (HR Bill 1599) was introduced to Congress. Dubbed the DARK Act (Denying Americans the Right to Know) by its opponents, it was reactionary legislation to Vermont, Connecticut and Maine’s 2014 laws that made GMO labeling mandatory on food packaging.
