Healthy Living Festival - Evanston
Topic: Events
Founders Valerie and Niquenya Fulbright were at it again this weekend. They each participated as vendors in the annual Healthy Living Festival in Evanston, IL on Saturday, April 28, 2007.

Valerie offered tastes of Ninxia Red and Young Living Essential oils in natural spring water for all to taste. Niquenya offered complimentary coaching sessions and collected funds for EESN's participation in the American Cancer Society's Walk & Roll on Sunday, May 20, 2007.

The event was set up pretty well and there seemed to be a steady stream of attendees although not as many as was expected. There were a hosts of alternative products, services and faith healers present including a Reiki master, a massage therapist, an animal communicator and a tarot card reader. There was even a guitarist and a Shamanic singer. The hit of the event was the tasty vegan meals offered by the Wild Tree Cafe. The event opened with a group meditation to invite positive energy into the room.

Overall, it was an interesting experience but EESN is unsure of future participation at this time.

Green Day
Mood:  celebratory
Topic: Events
This past weekend, founders Valerie and Niquenya Fulbright, took a trip to the McCormick Place to attend the annual Green Day Festival. The festival featured a number of vendors educating the public on products and services that are available to promote sustainability of natural resources both at home and at work.

EESN's proud founders collected as much information as possible as it is their intention to make EESN a completely green business. EESN is planned to incorporate bamboo furnishings, recycled paper and hemp linens. "We would even like to obtain tiling made from recycled plastic bottles such as what was aired on NBC's Good Morning America last week", the founders claim.

If you have any comments or suggestions about this vision, please forward them to info@eesn.org.
