Remember when you went to the store and the best stuff was right there at eye level and there was only one choice – the best one? Yeah, me neither.

Welcome to “Meredith Tested,” a blog dedicated to testing out different products, (or foods, drinks, shirts, socks, websites, podcasts, you get the idea) to find the best of the best. If you’re like me and trying to live a more conscious, mindful and healthy life, you may be overwhelmed (or underwhelmed) by the natural/organic/antioxidant-rich/sulfate-free/eco-friendly/local products out there. Most (but not all, because, let’s face it, no one is perfect. I mean, have you seen the overuse of parentheses and commas in the past paragraph? Sheesh) of the stuff I talk about will be natural/organic/antioxidant-rich/sulfate-free/eco-friendly/local because dammit I deserve to not put crap on my body/in my body/near my body/near my loved ones/pets. And you do, too.

But if you’re like me and you’ve scratched the surface of all the STUFF out there, you know that just because something is natural/organic/antioxidant-rich/sulfate-free/eco-friendly/local doesn’t mean it’s good. Like, at all. That’s where this blog comes in. Stay tuned for recommendations, trial and error and hopefully some good advice on what to choose and what to avoid the next time you’re in search of … stuff.

Welcome and enjoy! Also, if you ever need to reach me, give me a shout at meredithtested@gmail.com.
