Stevia is a herb native to South America and Monk Fruit is a type of gourd first cultivated by Chinese Buddhist monks in the 13th Century. Both foods have been used for centuries as a way to naturally sweeten food and beverages, however, their sweetness does not come from sugar but their unique natural chemicals (steviosides and mogrosides). These compounds provide a level of sweetness around 200 times that of regular sugar and do not impact blood sugar levels, making this blend ideal for those requiring stable energy levels or less sugar in their diet.
Stevia with Monk Fruit is around 200 times sweeter than regular sugar therefore a little goes a long way. Usage ratio: Approx. 1/16 teaspoon Stevia with Monk Fruit = 1 teaspoon regular sugar. Use to sweeten beverages, sauces, baking and cooking.
Monk fruit powder, natural dextrin free flow. No preservatives or other additives.
Matakana SuperFoods is a New Zealand-based leader in the research and marketing of new and novel foods with unique qualities and super nutrients to support health and well-being. Their goal is to bring to the market the latest high-quality, super-nutrient functional foods, snack foods and cosmetics.
While extracts of various foods have been used in supplements for many years, a new movement away from supplements and towards whole Superfoods has arisen, and promises to offer greater benefits to health through the premise that the synergistic interaction of the nutrients gained from natural wholefoods has more to offer than one or two components being extracted and put into a tablet. Often the balance, ratio and type of nutrients found in wholefoods leads to superior assimilation and absorption by the body. There is a renewed belief that eating wholefoods (and particularly wholefoods with super-nutrient qualities) is of greater benefit than simple supplementation with individual extracts.

"After several weeks of use, I must say that this cup performs greatly. Like what others have said, this cup allows the coffee to lower in temperature which didn't colour the flavour of the coffee in a bad way. The flavours have been consistent from cup after cup. I've even put the cup through the greatest test of all - leave left over coffee in there for several hours. In most cups, that will forever taint the scent of the cup which will also alter the aromatics you experience while drinking from it. The leftover oils didn't seem to latch onto the cup too much, and whatever scent was left was removed by a simple wash with dish soap."
- Robert Agcaoili (Coffee Expert, blogger at gridwriter.com)
"I now use my Keep Cup every day at work. It keeps my soy or almond milk chai latte nicely warm, is great for the environment, and is very easy to clean - I put it in the work dishwasher overnight and take it out the next morning to reuse."
KeepCup's mission is to encourage the use of reusable cups, and divert the number of disposable cups that go to landfill each year. Every minute over 1 millions cups are thrown away! KeepCup actively strives to change how people think about our convenience culture.
Based in Melbourne Australia, one of the world's great coffee culture cities, KeepCup is also commited to reducing their own environmental footprint, with local manufacture, printing and packaging.

Annmarie Skin Care's Minerals Multi-Purpose Foundation is the first of Annmarie's makeup products. With only four mineral ingredients, this foundation contains no toxic chemicals, preservatives or artificial colours. The four ingredients work together harmoniously to help even out skin tone and cover up imperfections without sacrificing your health.
Using Annmarie Skin Care's foundation, pigmented powders blend in seamlessly with your daily moisturiser or facial oil to create a natural liquid foundation that lasts the whole day without getting wrinkles and fine lines. This allows you to control your level of coverage, from a tinted moisturiser to a flawless finish.
Sample Kits just arrived and now available in our Be Good Organics store! Contains all 8 shades to try - Pearl, Sand, Honey, Olive, Nutmeg, Maple, Mocha & Clove - as well as a herbal facial oil for normal and combination skin with which to blend the foundations with. Find the shade (or shades) that best suits your skin tone and use additional colors to highlight, bronze, or as eye shadows!
You can use Minerals Multi-Purpose Foundation two ways.
1. Combined with your skin care routine. Tap: Take a small pea sized amount of foundation in the palm of your hand. Pump: Add 1-2 pumps of your favourite facial serum or facial oil. Blend: Mix in your hand, then apply to your face till blended in. Use more powder to create a more full-coverage foundation, or less powder (and more oil) for more of a tinted moisturiser look.
2. If you prefer a dry foundation, you can use a brush to apply Minerals by itself. Moisturise: Apply your favorite facial serum, facial oil, or other moisturize to prep and nourish your skin. Tap: Tap a small pea-sized amount of mineral powder into the palm of your hand. Brush: Use a clean makeup brush to apply the powder over your entire face. For a dewy look, finish by massaging in some facial oil along your cheek bones.
“This foundation is perfection... it creates the perfect coverage, dewy finish makeup you can find. Combining the pure oils with your mineral powder = brilliance. It doesn’t get more pure than that – oh, and no (synthetic/chemical) preservatives!"
- Kate, Living Pretty Naturally (Norway)
“The tone that these minerals provide (when mixed with the oil) is perfect for my skin. They have just the right amount of a natural glowy look that they do not make your skin look completely matte... I can’t think of a bad thing about this mineral makeup.”
- Jesica Salyer, Run On Organic (United States)
