Profile
- Kimberly Jordan Allen is a freelance writer who recently escaped suburbia to live in gorgeous Falls Village, Connecticut (as close to Vermont as you can get and still be in Conn.). Kim formerly worked at E/The Environmental Magazine, and if it’s related to natural health, she’s probably tried it.
From acupuncture, herbs, and yoga to hard-core organ-moving massage, allergy studies and metaphysical therapy, she has tasted the fruits of complimentary practices and lives to tell the tale. Her work has been featured in E/The Environmental Magazine, NY Spirit, Check Biotech, and the Organic Consumers Association website.
Kim works for a non-profit, holistically-based addiction treatment program while also raising her newborn twins and enjoying the outdoors with her husband, an avid whitewater paddler.

Tell the USDA to Regulate GE/GMOs
Genetically modified organisms were not sufficiently tested before entering our food chain. Today, more than 60-70% of packaged foods contain ingredients that have been genetically engineered. Loopholes have allowed industry to avoid disclosure regarding genetically altered food products and it is time to demand testing and regulation. Concerned citizens have the chance to voice their [...]
Bubi Baby Butter
Bubi baby butter is soothing for babes and moms alike. The handmade combination of organic shea butter, coconut oil, calendula, and chamomile leaves skin hydrated during this cold, dry time of year.
