DOSSIER

As most of you know (because I won’t stop talking about it), I am making the transition over to organic beauty products (maybe I use organic too loosely, but non-toxic might be more appropriate). Saturday, I was invited to ABC Home to emerge myself into the world of organic beauty for the day. I was overwhelmed with how many like-minded people attended the event, and excited that ABC Home declares themselves the shopping destination for Organic Beauty. This takes the label-reading stress out of shopping for makeup, moisturizers and personal care products, so thank you ABC Home!

The day was filled with informational presentations and discussions about food, health and beauty and how they are inexplicably linked. Here is a brief list of things I picked up that day…

 Organic Beauty Brands to Try // Intelligent Nutrients, Pratima, RMS Beauty, Tata Harper, Juara, Tracie Martyn, Vapour, Antonym Cosmetics, Priti NYC, Kahina. I picked up samples from each brand, so I will be sure to share my favorites with you, just give me a few weeks to try everything!

 New Daily Read // Mind Body Green– an independent media source for all things wellness.

New Restaurant to Try // Tertulia– Spanish food making a conscious effort to use organic and locally sourced ingredients.

 Informative Fact // 70% of diseases treated in the U.S. are caused by your environment (i.e. how you handle stress, what you eat, what you put on your skin, your exercise routine etc.) which means you have control of most diseases! Only 30% are genetic/hereditary.

Thanks to Elizabeth Stilwell of The Note Passer for taking such beautiful photos that day!
