October is a big month for us at Healthy Habitz, from celebrating Non-GMO month with free movies & giveaways to Bulk Week specials on our selection of over 250+ bulk herbs, spices and teas. Two in-store demos by local producers Indira & JMD Soaps will feature new body care items. Our own Caitlin Hauser will be teaching a class on how to make your own kombucha and Dr. Strauchman will join us again this time to talk about your "second brain", the gut. Plus Bailey will be here again for walk-in chair massages on select days. With all that and a slew of new products in store, there will be no shortage of activity - come see what the buzz is about!
NON GMO Month
Because we believe that it is important to label genetically modified foods so consumers can make informed decisions, we support efforts to do so and strive to set an example. In case you haven't noticed, you can find the little orange Monarch butterfly to indicate products that have been certified by the NonGMO Project. Please note, many of our certified ORGANIC products, by definition, do NOT contain genetically modified organisms, although they may not have the NonGMO shelf tag.
While supply lasts, you can get a sturdy canvas NonGMO Project bag with a $75 purchase (1 per customer, please) OR they are available for purchase for $15.99.
Education is another part of NonGMO month, so we are showing documentaries on Friday afternoons on the 10th, 17th & 24th. As a little incentive to stay and watch, we will give away 2 T-shirts on each Friday, and offer a complimentary snack to viewers. On Friday the 10th ONLY, 5% of sales will be donated to the NonGMO Project. See the documentary schedule below.
You don't have to buy a ton to enjoy our bulk herbs, spices, and teas. Expand your spice rack and taste flavors from around the globe without busting your budget. Buying from our bulk containers, you can actually get a sense of the taste and freshness of the spice just by smelling it, and since you only buy what you need, waste is significantly reduced.
Customers are welcome to bring in their own containers to refill; otherwise, we'll set you up with labeled plastic baggies. Plus, we have empty bottles, jars, and shaker lids available for purchase.
Save 20% on all herbs, spices, and teas in the jars ALL WEEK Oct 12-18!

NEW ITEMS
Get it while it's fresh! Even if you don't need to eat gluten free, you've got to try these. Direct from Florida, we have Non-GMO breads and bagels made with millet and brown rice flour. The ingredients are GF, but because the bakery uses wheat in the facility, it may contain trace amounts of gluten (60-90 ppm rather than 20ppm required to qualify as gluten-free). Many of our GF customers have recommended them, so we finally got it in!
Bagels come in sourdough, onion, or berry for $7.49 and bread comes in sourdough or plain for $6.59.

It works fast - Clinically proven to work in 7-10 days. It's convenient, with ONLY ONE small, easy to swallow capsule per day! And it's Vegetarian (non-shellfish, non-bovine product) Gluten, dairy & soy free.

Tap Into Positive Momentum

$49 **NEW LOW PRICE if you sign up by Oct. 20th** Regularly $65.
When something goes wrong, do you catch yourself cycling over the same types of negative thoughts or feelings? Break the cycle with this behavioral and energetic technique that can release the negativity and get you back on track.
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) also known as Meridian Tapping is a simple method that can have a transformative effect. Once you learn this technique and put it into practice, it's something that can be used in every day life to keep your Joy up! The class will be structured in two parts, so the hours will go by quickly!
1- The basics of how to do EFT and it's applications.
2 - How to change your thoughts in order to promote health and prosperity. EFT is a tool that allows you to feel good, get rid of lack and old traumas and childhood programming that keeps us stuck.
From Christine's blog:
When you first open your eyes in the morning start your positive momentum. Start your day fresh and new. You have the opportunity to build positive momentum, with each new day, when you open your eyes; let go of what bothered yesterday and the past it has already been lived, its gone! Forgive and accept if you have to, but start with fresh new happy feelings and build on it.
If something shakes you up, remember to think about the love you know and happy thoughts. Get back to feeling good. Meditate daily to make the connection and keep it going.
We are all being called to change the mind’s paradigm and come back to being heart centered. EFT is a wonderful modality given to us to use to accomplish this goal. A gift for us all.
