What a cool way to spend a gorgeous Fall Day! What could be better than the Hearst Tower overlooking Central Park with Al Roker, the company’s top brass, fellow content creators, and some of my favorite bloggers!

I learned that “The Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval” is so much a part of our vernacular that we often forget there’s actually a GOOD HOUSEKEEPING Magazine and they IN FACT test and confirm thousands of products each year giving only the best of the best their literal seal of approval!

Even cooler – after a beautiful lunch filled with “approved” treats and famous recipes, we got to tour their 18k square foot lab to see the vigorous process for ourselves and meet some of their favorite brands!

So What Does The Good Housekeeping “Seal” Mean?

  1. Products apply and go through a rigorous vetting process inspecting everything from its ingredients to it’s marketing material
  2. Good Housekeeping’s scientists, product analysts, and army of 100k home testers confirm the product does what it claims to do
  3. If everything passes with flying colors then a seal is issued along with a warranty that GH and Hearst stands behind offering a refund if the item fails to live up their standards

Who knew!? That’s really amazing!

Today, the GH seal is more relevant than ever because our shelves are flooded with products and we need help navigating to the best ones.

Thank you GH and Hearst for having me! I loved talking to all of your scientists and getting the inside scoop on the best brands to buy who sell products doing what they claim to do!

Stacey Gish Wallenstein created The Mint Chip Mama blog in 2013 to share her love and passion for giving children meaningful life experiences and helping moms like her navigate the challenges and benefits of raising children in the New York metropolitan area.

She managed customer loyalty programs for thousands of clients around the country and created social media strategies for a span of industries including healthcare services, restaurants, consumer packaged goods, specialty foods, local attractions and retail locations. After 13 wonderful years in Manhattan (the last three of which spent as a city mom), Stacey and her husband moved to Long Island in 2014, where they now reside with their three children (13, 10, and 7). There, she is a founding member of her local Parenting Center, which provides classes and coordinates events designed to educate and inform parents while fostering an environment of support and friendship within the community. A graduate of the University of Michigan, Stacey has been active in the New York area alumni organization for nearly twenty years, serving as a board member on the school’s University of Michigan Alumni Club of New York City.
