Organic Ice Cream at Sketch in Berkeley
What do you get when you mix former Aqua pastry chefs, organic Strauss cream and ice? You get dozens of seasonal gelato flavors at Sketch. With a long line out the door on a hot, Saturday in Berkeley, the place was humming with hungry customers waiting for a scoop of ice cream made from fresh organic ingredients. I tried a cup of the strawberry and organic coffee. The coffee flavor was fabulous, and strawberry was ok. The only downside to my trip was that the owners were not friendly and told me they did not want me to take pictures until I told them I was putting them in my blog and they were a lot nicer after that. Despite that incident, I still recommend trying them–this one of the few organic, locally made ice cream shops in the Bay Area. Located in trendy Fourth Street neighborhood in Berkeley at 1809 Fourth Street (near Hearst).

A standard for organic in regards to body care does not exist. The only organic standard there is right now in the US is for food. Therefore, any body care product that is showing a USDA certified organic logo, must meet the food standard for organic.
95% or more organic ingredients, excluding water, salt, minerals. The remaining 5% cannot be a synthethic or a genetically modified ingredient and it is still highly regulated what that 5% or less can be.
I recently just tried an Aloe & Jojoba Crème Therapy from the Made from Earth skin care line…. I love it. . .it feels just like pure Aloe Vera straight from the plant. And if you look at the ingredient list (which is displayed right on their website), if shows you that Aloe Vera is the number 1 ingredient. No preservatives or chemicals. Its preserved using Vitamin E.. . .its made my skin really smooth, and Ive even seen it have an effect on my cellulite… you can find it at http://www.madefromearth.com
Good luck everyone!
