Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim and Giveaway
 Over the weekend, we got the opportunity to check out the Natural Products Expo West at the Anaheim Convention Center, which is the world’s largest natural, organic, and healthy products trade show. We found out about this expo when a rep for Stonyfield contacted us and invited us to attend as Press. Reason? We have an organic garden! Stonyfield wanted to stress the importance of using organic farming and are most well-known for their yogurt line. After meeting the people at Stonyfield, we got to walk around the convention and check out all the great products at the show, and not to mention, all the samples & freebies that we got to take home. It was NUTS, I tell ya. So anyway, here’s a few pictures from the event – and keep scrolling down to see your chance to win some of the goodies we got!  The Natural Products Expo was divided into these 6 major categories: Health & Beauty, Natural & Specialty Foods, Natural Living, Organic, Pet Products, and Supplements. That was a lot of ground to cover in a few hours.  This convention brings in over 50,000 industry members, so as you can see, it was jam-packed! Check out the Stonyfield yogurt cup in the background. They had a special goody bag for us when we got there!  Samples of food & drinks were everywhere we turned - like Organic Bistro frozen food and Stubb's BBQ Sauce. It was like a buffet, except you only get a bite or two of each thing, and then you start feeling sick because you just mixed so many varieties of stuff in your stomach!  This is a dessert-lover's paradise - everything from cotton candy to macaroons by Galaxy Desserts. Along the way, you get chocolate, cupcakes, ice cream, cookies, and a heart attack.  This was cool - CocoPop was making their multigrain snack with their machine that shoots out the wheat/corn/rice cake. Can't get any fresher than that! Oh, and prime rib, anyone?  Japan had their own section of products, like soy sauce, ponzu sauce, tea, and sake. Panda brand used their mascot... no other than a Panda. Cute.  We got to chat with Chef Nathan Lyon, who stars in the show A Lyon in the Kitchen on Discovery Health and FitTV. His motto: Great Food Starts Fresh. And no, the next photo is not of someone from Cirque du Soleil. She is dressing the part of ginger to promote the brand Ginger People.  One of my favorite things at the expo was stuffing a stuffed doggy animal with organic cotton. Chester got a new friend and some treats in the Pet Products section of the convention.  There were an abundance of booths that had an eclectic array of teas. We got a ton of different tea bags to try. My favorite product of the show would have to be Coconut Water!! We got to take home full-sized bottles of these and that contributed to the heaviness of our bags. But it was worth it! I am lovin' Coconut Water!  You made it to the bottom!
