OC-based Keto-Friendly Sweets

03.26.19

For anyone following a ketogenic lifestyle, there’s Nui Foods, the creators of Keto Kookie are offering various keto-friendly snacks, including their extremely popular Keto Kookies. The first inspiration for the Keto Kookie began with founder Juan Altamirano’s love of baking. At the age of 8 this Santa Ana-native baked his very first cake and instantly found his passion. At 17 he enrolled in culinary school and specialized in baking and pastry making. Since then he’s been consistently moving up the culinary ladder throughout Orange County.

With his passion and for baking and necessary understanding of scientific ratios to create something delicious AND healthy, Juan has been able to research and develop the Keto Kookie recipe, and turn it into the successful product that it is today. Juan joined forces with the founders of Nui Foods, Kristoffer Quiaoit and Victor Macias, and first started the development of the Keto Kookie product line at East End Kitchens located at 4th Street Market in downtown Santa Ana.

Their team has accomplished quite a bit with the Keto Kookie, including an appearance on Shark Tank, taking their sales to the next level. Nui Foods sold over $1.7 million worth of cookies in 2018 alone. Most importantly though, Juan and his team consider their biggest success to be that they are consistently impacting people’s lives for the better through this health-conscious product.

Stop Junk Mail for Good

03.22.19

You can get rid of junk mail once and for all with Catalog Choice, a tool helping to protect the environment by stopping paper junk mail for good. The free service comes from The Story of Stuff Project, an environmental non-profit organization of more than 1 million members working to transform the way we make, use and throw away “stuff.” 

In the past eight years, Catalog Choice has helped over two million users cancel specific catalogs and other types of promotional mail in an effort to reduce the massive and unnecessary paper waste stream that consumes huge amounts of water and energy to produce and recycle junk mail.

Year-to-date, Catalog Choice, which has nearly 10,000 titles in its database ranging from clothing brands to credit card companies to charities, has processed over 640,000 opt-outs. According to calculations by Catalog Choice and the Environmental Paper Network, these opt-outs correspond with an estimated savings or diversion of 70 million gallons of water, 8.5 million pounds of waste, and over 20 million pounds of CO2.

Beyond helping the environment, Catalog Choice also protects consumers from scams. Aside from catalogs and coupons, the service can also help users get rid of junk mail that uses ads and gimmicks to solicit money by misleading and preying on vulnerable consumers, oftentimes targeting the elderly.
