Oakland Herb Store, Happy High Herbs Store Berkeley Leads the Way with High-Quality Kratom

Saturday, February 4th, 2012


Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) February 04, 2012

Happy High Herbs, a herb store in the Oakland and San Francisco area continually promotes a passion for health and a deep understanding of both the fun and medicinal side of herbal effects. It features a dazzling array of herbs to compliment every aspect of daily life, and it is proud to announce that it is now the premiere destination for Kratom both in terms of selection, and knowledge and experience.

“One has options for finding Kratom; however, in our experience, the quality can vary widely and quite often, the old adage is true: you get what you pay for,” said Ethan Franc of Happy High Herbs. “While sampling many suppliers offerings, we have found that there were many samples that were far lower quality than what we were willing to offer our customers. This is an unfortunate fact of the herbal industry, as with anything natural – there is widely varying quality of products on the market.”

Kratom is becoming a very popular and highly sought-after herb due to its many important uses. It’s an amazing pain-relieving and muscle-relaxing herb perhaps the most powerful of all the natural options. Many people also sing the praises of Kratom for its ability to bring focus through its calming of mental distractions. It has also been known as an excellent aid for overcoming severe and life-damaging addictions, most notably to opiates and alcohol, as well as giving a great clear-headed alternative to cannabis. On a lighter note, Kratom can be a powerful herb for helping prolong intercourse, and it can also aid relaxation into an evening of intimate play.

Everyone at Happy High Herbs not only cares deeply about the customers and the future of herbal medicine but also uses many of Happy High Herbs products on a regular basis (including Kratom), ensuring that the herbs are of the highest quality.

Happy High Herbs was originally founded in Australia by Ray Thorpe in an effort to offer safer, healthier and more effective alternatives to both recreational and medicinal drugs. The company has since expanded to include a vast online shop, as well as retail locations around the globe. The centrally-located Berkeley smoke shop and tea shop offers a myriad of herbs, as well as safe alternatives to party substances, holistic health accessories, and fire and flow toys, such as poi, staves and hula hoops. The owner is a naturopath who has extensive knowledge in the field of herbal health.

The Berkeley tea shop carries everything from classic medicinal teas, such as Echinacea, ginger and Chamomile, to lesser known remedies with surprising results, such as Withania, Gotu Kola and St. Johns Wort.

Bold Prints–The prints have it…this year, all collections of girls clothing has very bold and vivid prints. Don’t shy away from having too much. From florals to geometrics…bold prints are the way to go.

Color Blocking–Wearing colors in Springtime is nothing new, but this year color blocking seems to be the trend. Typically done in tiers and sometimes in prints. Think tiered ruffles and the Partridge Family bus!

Embellishments–Novelty rules the roost this year in girls clothing this Spring. From ruched fabrics to embrodiery, woven ribbons, lace trims, fabric flowers and applique…interesting fancy embellishments are prevalent in much of the girls outfits this Spring.

Ruffles–Is there a better trend for girls clothing than Ruffles? This season, girls clothes are taking a cue from their mother’s wardrobe…as “the Peplum” has taken center stage and is appearing everywhere. Ruffles for your little girl; Peplums for moms!

Applique–Cute and adorable, applique is everywhere this season on girls clothes. The pant, the sleeve, the bodice. We are seeing it two ways….monochromatic–matching the fabric and contrasting to add a pop of color and another layer of detail.

Flower Power–Flowered prints are doing double-duty this Spring 2012. Every flower in the garden is appearing on girls clothing this Spring. In bright colors and subtle pastels…if it has a Flower on it…Wear it!

COMPANY INFORMATION

Blueturtlekids.com

Blue Turtle Kids online children’s clothing boutique was launched by a seasoned corporate executive that found herself in a new role as a stay-at-home mom. Anxious to dress her two sons in uniquely designed, comfortable clothing…she began to search for fun and colorful clothing from quality brands. But as luck would have it, her favorite local children’s clothing boutique closed and she had no place to shop.

Realizing how hard it is to find boys clothing designed with more than sports balls in mind, she started blueturtlekids.com as an online children’s clothing boutique focused exclusively on boy’s clothes. After a year, her customers simply demanded she start selling girls clothing…and so, today blueturtlekids.com sells both boys and girls clothing.

Blueturtlekids.com is focused on providing the latest in children’s clothing each and every season. In addition, blueturtlekids.com carries many “Made in the USA” children’s clothing lines. Blueturtlekids.com also strives to keep customer’s up-to-date via their blog.blueturtlekids.com, facebook page and Twitter stream.

Blueturtlekids.com looks forward to each new season of dressing your child in clothing that is cute, comfortable, fun and unique.
