Who says Olive Oil is best used in the kitchen?

 

Many Olive Oil soaps on the market are made with poor quality olive oil, the lowest grade, lowest quality oil. STONEHOUSE decided to turn the tide and use one of our best Extra Virgin Olive Oils to make our soaps and body oils—the first oil of the harvest, rich with anti-oxidants, phenols, and 100% Organic. The result is a wonderfully silky true Olive Oil soap that nourishes your skin as it cleanses. And the silkiness of the foam is ideal for shaving.

 

***Using Olive Oil on skin is GREAT for anti-aging!***

 

 

Pictured above are women mixing shea butter for… VIVO SHEA BUTTER SOAPS sold at provisions!

 

Discover the moisturizing benefits of African shea butter... “Improving the world, one shower at a time” is the motto for VIVO Natural Products.

 

 

Each bar of their soap we sell is made with 100% pure, unrefined shea butter, which is purchased from a cooperative of women farmers in West Africa.

 

 

Raw Chocolate isn’t only good for your innards…

 

 

Raw Chocolate Soap – Cacao & Cinnamon Essential Oil:

This bar is made with Gnosis cacao and cinnamon essential oil. From the moment you open the beautiful box, you will have the ultimate body and sensory experience! Raw cacao butter hydrates your skin while reducing the appearance of stretch marks, wrinkles, cellulite, and other wear & tear! Let the aroma of chocolate and cinnamon nourish and invigorate you! This bar is an intoxicating delight to indulge the senses and revive spirit.

 

And what other store besides provisions sells Opie’s GOAT MILK soap??

 

 

Organic, unscented, chemical-free soap that is ideal for sensitive and problem skin. Handmade with the highest amount of organic goat milk, it is a great soap to use in order to stay exfoliated and moisturized!

 

 

Our goal at provisions is to provide our customers with products that indulge your health, inside and out… Nurture your skin with provisions’ soap products and buy our soaps today! Your skin is important! It is after all, the largest organ of the body.

 

 

Let our soothing soaps spice up your life!

A Visit to Theo’s Chocolate Factory!

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

 

True to being the DEDICATED EMPLOYEE that I am to provisions… I traveled ALL the way to Seattle, WA and visited Theo Chocolate Factory to get a tour of their chocolate factory.

(It’s a tough job, I know).

 

 

Located in the lovely city of Seattle… Theo Chocolate tours are offered for the very reasonable price of $6 per person. I went in to see exactly how one of provisions best selling chocolates were made and to learn more about the process of chocolate making. After all, I consume enough of the good stuff- I should know what goes into creating my satisfying lover… CHOCOLATE!

 

 

The picture above basically explains my feelings towards chocolate….

 

 

 

 

These are cacao beans where chocolate come from. Aren’t they gorgeous?! Chocolate grows on trees, folks!


I learned SOOOO much from the tour provided by Theo at their factory from a very personable, witty, entertaining tour guide. She did a great job keeping my family entranced about what goes into making a bean-to-bar chocolate bar, which apparently is not the way all chocolate is made.

 

Theo uses green energy sources to power their factories!

 

 

 

 

 

(Side Note: My mother insists that I note that she is usually much more beautiful than this picture portrays her to be- with a HAIRNET on. Here, she is smelling cocao beans).


ACCORDING TO THEO’S WEBSITE: The meaning of Bean-to-Bar
“Theo’s small batch chocolate production is truly an art form. We take great time and care to steward our cocoa beans through the entire manufacturing process, add only the finest, sustainably produced ingredients, and are proud to offer chocolate we can guarantee is equal parts ethical and delicious!”

 


provisions has delicious Theo chocolate in store!

SUPERFOODS ARE SOLD AT PROVISIONS THANKS TO GNOSIS!

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010


I must admit… I am a sucker for shows like the Biggest Loser or for those occasions when Dr. Oz is on Oprah because they tell a great story and focus on how good-health changes lives drastically for the better. This might be the first upcoming generation where American children are  living less healthy lives than their parents. This issue goes beyond obesity (which is a major issue).

My brother is 180 lbs and 6 ft 3- He goes to a fast food restaurant for breakfast every Monday morning and orders the crappiest food for ones body that you can imagine. I give him a look of disgust and he tells me that “his metabolism is fast and he doesn’t have weight issues, so why should  he care?” He used to eat fast food all of the time, but in an attempt to try and get “buff,” he cut all the fast food out of his diet and he admits to feeling a big difference in how his body felt.  He had more energy, for one thing, and his skin looked better.

I’m telling you folks, even a handsome, slender man like my brother needs to open his eyes and perhaps take a step into provisions and check out our NEW, AMAZING SELECTION of GNOSIS SUPERFOODS! (pronounced no-sis)


(Pictured: My little brother. Told ya he was handsome!)

Not sure what superfoods are?

Imagine a food — instead of a drug — that was strong enough to ward off diseases and have no side effects. Sound to good to be true? IT ISN’T. The best part is that these superfoods are available right here at provisions and easy to purchase!

South Street Books – SIGNED!

Friday, May 21st, 2010

BEEKMAN STREET WHERE provisions is now located! Lots has changed!


Want something REALLY local?… South Street is Barbara G. Mensch’s evocative tribute to the lost world of Lower Manhattan’s Fulton Fish Market. This book gives great insight into how life used to be down by NYC Historical South Street Seaport and Brooklyn Bridge. As a young photographer in the early 1980s, Barbara Mensch bonded with this particular group of “authentic New Yorkers,” becoming a confidante for their life stories, which were often filled with hardship, mystery, and misadventures. These striking photographs capture the unique personality and fierce secrecy of their vibrant working-class culture.



SIGNED COPIES ARE SOLD AT provisions!!!!

 

Pictured back when it was the Fish Market. I remember the days the Fish Market was down here. Maybe not the days pictured here…. but people still ask for the Fish Market. Someone just came in today asking if it still exists down here.

 

These photographs are Barbara Mensch’s tribute to the lost world of Lower Manhattan’s Fulton Fish Market. For more than a century, a tightly knit community of workingmen, many of them immigrants or children of immigrants, thrived in their nocturnal jobs as fishmongers under the base of the Brooklyn Bridge.  Resistant to government regulations and corporate encroachment these men worked in a closed, internally-policed world that was deeply hostile to outsiders.

Many of the images were taken in 1979-1983, a time of profound change in the political and economic landscape of Lower Manhattan. The waterfront below the Brooklyn Bridge was targeted for economic revival, spurred by the demolition of important locales in the fish market, existing piers, working storefronts, saloons and hotels to make room for new commercial spaces, including a shopping mall.
