We're back from another great year at Expo! Each year we're amazed by the sheer number of people and companies who attend. We had a great time meeting people from all over the world and taking their photos with Cuterus (see image)! You can find all of our Cuterus pics on Facebook.

One of the most fun parts of Expo is getting to try out new products and visit old friends. Read on for some of our favorite things from Natural Products Expo West 2013:

• Sigg and Cuipo have joined forces to create a totally adorable line of reusable water bottles. Steve the Sloth is our favorite, but every water bottle in the collection helps preserve the rainforest with your purchase and activation code.

• Pacifica's new skin care line kept our skin refreshed after long days at the show. We loved the Sea Foam Complete Face Wash and Pacifica's partnership with the Ocean Futures Society.

• Fellow certified B Corp Kleen Kanteen gave us these awesome stainless steel pint glasses (filled with beer, of course!) for being part of the Benefit Corporation movement.

• The team at Sir Richard's condoms always seems to be having the most fun, and we met at least one GladRags fan from their crew! We dig their cheeky "I won't put chemicals or ______ in my vagina" marketing, and admire their success in providing condoms to developing countries.

• And of course, we got to visit with tons of friends! We shared dinner with the lovely ladies of Lunette, and were pumped to say hi to the folks at Rockin' Green, gDiapers, Planet Wise, and more!
