Now that our meal prepping series is complete, we're pulling our focus to what to do after you prep. Likely, you will have plenty of scraps from all that fresh produce. It’s easy to just toss them right into the trash, but think about what happens to them when they leave your home. Once food scraps get into the landfills, they breaks down into methane, which is a greenhouse gas that is harmful to the environment. Instead, you can either repurpose or regrow your scraps, or start a small composting station right in your kitchen. Best of all, by repurposing/regrowing your scraps you are getting a bigger bang for your buck AND saving future money (less food to buy on future grocery store trips)!

The average American tosses more than 4 pounds of trash each day. It's all about “one-use” and “disposables,” created purely for convenience. The next time you restock your bathroom staples, consider swapping your norm for these low-waste and/or biodegradable products.

Discover the transformative journeys of real Urban Oreganics customers in our new series. From struggling with skin concerns to achieving their healthiest, most radiant complexion, these stories highlight the power of mindful, plant-based skincare.

This week, we're headed all the way to Germany to chat with Charlotte about her experience using Urban Oreganics.

Going “all-natural” in the body odor department has been such a hot topic lately… pun intended. Working in the small-batch beauty industry for over five years now, we’ve found that switching to a natural deodorant is either the first healthy swap someone makes or the very last. So we’ve gathered some tips to make the transition smooth and painless.

We’re back this week with our popular Real Skin, Real Results series. This time we're chatting with Angie. Angie didn’t start having issues with her skin until after having her first child. Read more about her journey below.

Over the last five years, we've completely phased out toxic and disposable home cleaning products. We've saved thousands of dollars, so many trees, and rid our space of harmful chemicals! Our UO product line used to include everything from natural household cleaners, to dog treats (yes, seriously!), to skin care products. But as time went on, we narrowed our focus to just skin and body related items. Not to fret! We've compiled a list of our eco-friendly, vegan, and all-natural home cleaning faves.

Welcome back to Part 3 of our Meal Prepping series. We're sharing an example of our 7-day menu, and chatting a little bit about why we chose a vegan lifestyle.

While I know the “standard” is sweet treats or little plastic trinkets, I’m hopeful that by teaching our children to gift with intention, Valentine’s Day no longer has to be such a wasteful holiday.

Welcome back to Part 2 of our Meal Prepping guide. This week, we're sharing our favorite products to help meal prep efficiently.

It's finally here! Our Meal Prepping blog series has been in the works for nearly two years… because, mom life. But we’re so excited to share this with you! 

Using our convenient Meal Prep guide, you will start to enjoy the benefits of preparing ahead each week (or whatever time frame you choose). Since meal-prepping, we have saved hundreds - or dare I say thousands - on our grocery bill. And, we eat out less because our food is already prepped. There’s no stress or question of what’s for dinner! All our recipes are portion-controlled so we have zero wasted food. Overall, I’ve saved countless hours by shopping and prepping all in one day.

What if you could have an all-day facial moisturizer that never felt greasy and didn’t contain harsh chemicals? Well, look no further! Perhaps our most popular product to date, our green tea Facial Cream is the perfect, non-toxic alternative to store bought moisturizers. Our Facial Cream actually started as a request from a friend. She was wanting a facial cream that would be anti-aging and also prevent and treat acne. After weeks of research and development, we were able to nail down this best-selling formula. From that first full batch, it was an instant hit!
