Crepini Frozen Crepes

"All Natural Hand-Made Crepes with Gourmet Fillings"

Crepinis fuse the French crepe with the Russian blini, and nestle sweet and savoury fillings in a delicate pancake shell.  Crepinis are hand-made using organic and natural ingredients for superior flavour.  A snap to heat, Crepinis turn any occasion into a stylish affair within minutes.

Inspired by a family recipe, the Crepini starts with the delicate shell of a crepe, and like a blini, it is then filled with sensationally delicious savoury or sweet flavours.  The crepe batter is made without butter, and the Crepini’s elegant size and hand rolled shape make it perfect for light dining and entertaining.

Perfect For Potting

"Organic All-Purpose Potting Mix"

Perfect for potting is a complete, ready-to-use, all-purpose potting mix for all your indoor and container plants- herbs, vegetables, tropical or flowering.  Easy to pour.  Easy to Store.  Mess no More!

Organic growing of plants is healthier, better environmentally, and sustainable for the future.  If you are growing your own organic vegetables and herbs, it only makes sense to start with certified organic soil that contains no pesticides or harmful chemicals.  Otherwise, the pesticides and chemicals found in conventionally soil will infest the seeds and plants being grown.

Perfect for Potting is made with Mycorrhizae, which means “fungus-root”.  It is a natural fungus that benefits the plant’s roots to improve nutrient and water uptake.  This helps to promote healthier plants and more blooms.

Perfect for Potting is ready-to-use: use straight from the carton.  No mixing required.  Package is clean and convenient.  Provides for easy opening, re-closure and storage.

How to Use Perfect for Potting:

Pot a Plant:  Take plant out of pack that it came in.  Pour some Perfect for Potting mix into a new container and place plant in the centre.  Pour more potting mix around plant so that roots are covered and compress carefully so that the plant is stable.  Water and allow to drain.

Transplant:  For plants that have overgrown their pot, choose a pot approximately 1”-2” larger in diameter.  Follow instructions above.

Top a Plant: For plants that are too large or heavy to be re-potted, remove approximately 1/3 of the top layer of soil.  Refill the pot with Perfect for Potting mix up to ½” below of pot.  Topping a pot helps keep plants healthy.

LaVigne Organic Skincare

"Made with Tepezcohuite- An Ancient Mayan Herb"

LaVigne Organic Skincare is dedicated to making natural products that both heal damaged skin and protect against the effects of day-to-day stresses from our environment.  President and founder Linda LaVigne has always had a keen interest in natural health and beauty. In 2002, while living in Mexico, she began looking into the healing secrets of the Mayans and visited with local experts to uncover the remarkable properties of Tepezcohuite. After confirming the available research about this amazing substance, she decided to make it the key healing ingredient in her skincare products. After establishing a reliable source of Tepezcohuite, Linda developed several products and arranged with a reputable cosmetics lab in Vancouver, Canada to manufacture her LaVigne Organic's product lines.

Tepezcohuite (pronounced “tep-ez-co-heety”) is the primary healing and regenerative agent found in LaVigne skincare.  Derived from the bark of Mexico’s “skin tree”, this non-toxic organic ingredient was used by the Mayans for more than ten centuries as an anti-aging skincare product.  Modern-day research has revealed that vital components found in its complex chemical makeup actually repair and protect skin cells- giving it the amazing ability to heal a wide range of skin problems and to promote younger-looking, healthy skin.

Tepezcohuite has been hailed for its ability to:

• Guard against the signs of aging
• Promote the creation of new skin cells
• Stimulate the production of collagen and elastin to improve skin’s elasticity.
• Protect Vitamin P (a cellular regenerator) and hyaluronic acid
• Regenerate deep soft tissue and hair follicles
• Heal serious burns and skin blemishes
• Treat Psoriasis and Herpes I & II
• Minimize scarring
• Relieve the pain of sores, cracked or damaged skin
• Alleviate the discomfort of pressure sores
• Aid in the prevention of acne
• Defend against bacteria, fungi and viral infections and germs.

Ambrosia Cotton Canvas Bags

"Ambrosia Reusable Canvas Bags have arrived!"  

Selling for only $1.99 each, Ambrosia Cotton Canvas Bags are thick and durable bags that can be reused time and time again.  Each year billions of plastic bags end up as ugly litter, and eventually break down into tiny toxic bits polluting our soil, rivers, lakes and oceans.  Using Ambrosia Cotton Bags instead of plastic is a great way to help eliminate this problem!

Ambrosia Cotton Canvas Bags are an environmentally safe alternative to plastic bags…even the reusable plastic bags.  Though reusable plastic bags may be an improvement over traditional grocery bags, since they are reusable and have a positive impact on the current landfill problem, they are not entirely environmentally safe.  Production of any plastic bag (reusable or not) requires vast amounts of oil which produces large amounts of green house gases.

Only Cotton Canvas Bags are a truly environmentally safe alternative, since production of cotton bags use significantly less energy then plastic bags.  Help protect the earth and all the creatures that call it home, change starts with you!

Bag Size: 45.5 L x 38 H x 16 D cm
Handle Length: 52 cm x 2 Handles
Material: 100% Cotton Canvas, Heavy Duty

Ambrosia offers gluten free breads, pastas, waffles, cereals, pies, cookies, crackers, muffins, tarts, donuts, as well as numerous types of gluten-free baking mixes.
