		<description><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.ecofabulous.com/ecolifestyle/teens-turning-green-national-summit/" target="_blank">5th Annual Teens Turning Green National Summit</a> brought forth so much unbelievable energy and passion, united by the concept of global environmental sustainability. Adam Werbach, Global CEO of Saatchi &amp; Saatchi S, kicked off Friday night with a tremendous keynote address &#8211; speaking to the importance of personal and corporate responsibility, micromovements and a holistic approach that addresses social, environmental, economic, and cultural factors.<span id="more-16532"></span></p>
<p>Saturday&#8217;s panels addressed topics from eco lifestyle, science, and greening schools to politics, food, and global perspectives. The <em>Global Perspectives on Sustainability</em> panel stood out especially. Moderated by Spokeswoman and Founding Member <a href="http://erinschrode.com" target="_blank">Erin Schrode</a> and Senior Campaign Co-President Kate Smith, the panel featured our very own, <a href="http://www.ecofabulous.com/about/" target="_blank">Zem Joaquin</a>, who spoke of her involvement in many incredible projects (from ecofabulous to hosting TED&#8217;s ecovillage to working alongside Bill McDonough to her <a href="http://www.ecofabulous.com/ecoguides/turning-oldies-into-goodies-transformed-phone-bench/" target="_blank">recent collaboration with The eBay Green Team</a> and more!).</p>
<p>Marci Zaroff, founder of <a href="http://www.ecofabulous.com/ecofashion/vote-ecologically-under-the-canopy/" target="_blank">Under the Canopy</a> and upcoming FASE (Fashion Art Soul Earth), got the room jazzed about the soon-to-be-released label of amazing fashion-forward designs. Olowo-n&#8217;djo Tchala spoke of his deep commitment to social and environmental justice through his remarkable company <a href="http://www.alaffia.com/about-us" target="_blank">Alaffia</a>, truly changing the lives of people in villages of rural Togo &#8211; an incredibly inspiring mission. And Kimberly Pinkson talked about <a href="http://ecomomalliance.ning.com/" target="_blank">EcoMom Alliance&#8217;s</a> ever-growing audience and enthusiastic response, as well as the importance of understanding global webs of life.</p>
<p>Overall, a phenomenal exchange of wisdom that left attendees charged up and even more committed to the eco-movement. For more info on Teens Turning Green or to learn how you can get involved, check out the website <a href="http://www.teensturninggreen.org/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Stretch marks, morning sickness, back pain and all, let us not forget who brought us into this world (not like <a href="http://www.ecofabulous.com/ecolifestyle/star-in-your-own-silhouette/" target="_blank">mom</a> would ever let you!). This time around, along with not having to walk to school uphill (both ways) in the snow, there have also been some incredible developments in <a href="http://www.erbaviva.com" target="_blank">natural, organic skincare</a> specifically designed for mommies and mommies-to-be. <span id="more-16509"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.erbaviva.com/mommy.asp" target="_blank">Erbaviva&#8217;s pregnancy line</a> has all bases covered: Feeling nauseous in the mornings? How about a little <a href="http://www.erbaviva.com/detail.asp?SKU=10QEA&amp;Cat=10" target="_blank">Quease-Ease Lip Balm</a> with peppermint and ginger. What about mothers that want their children to &#8220;leave their mark on the world, not on their skin?&#8221; There&#8217;s the winning combo of <a href="http://www.erbaviva.com/detail.asp?SKU=10SMC&amp;Cat=10" target="_blank">Stretch Mark Cream</a> and <a href="http://www.erbaviva.com/detail.asp?SKU=10SMO&amp;Cat=10" target="_blank">Stretch Mark Oil</a>. For tummy dryness, use the skin-soothing <a href="http://www.erbaviva.com/detail.asp?SKU=10MTB&amp;Cat=10" target="_blank">Mommy-to-be Milk Bath</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stretch marks, morning sickness, back pain and all, let us not forget who brought us into this world (not like <a href="http://www.ecofabulous.com/ecolifestyle/star-in-your-own-silhouette/" target="_blank">mom</a> would ever let you!). This time around, along with not having to walk to school uphill (both ways) in the snow, there have also been some incredible developments in <a href="http://www.erbaviva.com" target="_blank">natural, organic skincare</a> specifically designed for mommies and mommies-to-be. <span id="more-16509"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.erbaviva.com/mommy.asp" target="_blank">Erbaviva&#8217;s pregnancy line</a> has all bases covered: Feeling nauseous in the mornings? How about a little <a href="http://www.erbaviva.com/detail.asp?SKU=10QEA&amp;Cat=10" target="_blank">Quease-Ease Lip Balm</a> with peppermint and ginger. What about mothers that want their children to &#8220;leave their mark on the world, not on their skin?&#8221; There&#8217;s the winning combo of <a href="http://www.erbaviva.com/detail.asp?SKU=10SMC&amp;Cat=10" target="_blank">Stretch Mark Cream</a> and <a href="http://www.erbaviva.com/detail.asp?SKU=10SMO&amp;Cat=10" target="_blank">Stretch Mark Oil</a>.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s no surprise to find a product with the highest standard of luxury in Beverly Hills, CA &#8211; but with the highest standard of environmental sensitivity? Yes, it&#8217;s rare. But we&#8217;ve found a combo that&#8217;s taking the salon industry by storm &#8211; <a href="http://www.rare-elements.com/" target="_blank">Rare El&#8217;ements International Hair Collection</a>.<span id="more-16497"></span></p>
<p>Partners <a href="http://www.rare-elements.com/" target="_blank">John Amato and Teri LaVerne&#8217;s</a> combined experience in the upscale environs of Beverly Hills, traveling the world to witness the traditional luxuries of other cultures and being entrenched in the fashion industry led them both to the understanding that fashion and hair are two sides of the same coin. &#8220;Fashion is about expression, versatility and rediscovering yourself, while well-maintained hair expresses timeless, effortless style.&#8221;</p>
<p>Suffice it to say, we were more than happy to turn our tired locks over to these pros for a much needed revamp. We tested the daily regime of<a href="http://www.rare-elements.com/" target="_blank"> Pure Shampoo and Essential Conditioner</a> (free of sulfates, parabens, silicones and other toxic no-no&#8217;s) for two weeks. The results? A luxurious at-home pampering experience that left tresses completely (and naturally!) nourished. This sophisticated combo has officially earned a permanent place on our shower shelves!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>When we first walked into Los Angeles salon <a href="http://primroseorganics.com/" target="_blank">Primrose Organics</a>, the sweet aroma of botanicals immediately put us at ease, as did the sunny demeanor of its co-owners, Felicia Howe and Melissa Tornay.</p>
<p>Los Angeles is rife with glitzy hair salons, most of which tend toward a cold aesthetic and factory-like treatment of clients. Not so at <a href="http://primroseorganics.com/story.html" target="_blank">Primrose</a>, where a light-filled interior decorated with vintage vanities, painted with VOC-free paint, and stylists&#8217; inscrutable attention to your &#8211; yes, <em>your</em> &#8211; needs make for a warm ambiance.<span id="more-15287"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://primroseorganics.com/story.html" target="_blank">Primrose</a> carries a slew of ecofabulous-approved lines, <a href="http://www.ecofabulous.com/ecobeauty/hair-today-gone-tomorrow/" target="_blank">Hamadi Organics</a>, <a href="http://www.ecofabulous.com/ecobeauty/ask-the-master/" target="_blank">John Masters Organics</a>, and Priti nail polish among them. In the chemical-happy hair industry, Primrose is a vanguard of eco-friendly beauty, and we laud the salon for proving that going green can be done on any scale. From their reclaimed, gussied-up salon chairs to the non-toxic putty spackled on their walls, <a href="http://primroseorganics.com/feliciahowe.html" target="_blank">Howe</a> and Tornay are examples for small business owners hoping to move toward a sustainable future. The duo is committed to honing their product selection and researching the best in even greener treatments as the industry evolves.</p>
<p>When it comes to sheer—or rather, shear—talent, we were blown away by Felicia&#8217;s ability to turn an unruly mane into a stylishly full-bodied, low maintenance cut. The salon also offers <a href="http://primroseorganics.com/nailcare.html" target="_blank">eco mani&#8217;s</a>, which would be an amazing add-on to a day of beauty at Primrose. We&#8217;ll take seconds from this gem of a salon and its en vogue staff.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When we first walked into Los Angeles salon <a href="http://primroseorganics.com/" target="_blank">Primrose Organics</a>, the sweet aroma of botanicals immediately put us at ease, as did the sunny demeanor of its co-owners, Felicia Howe and Melissa Tornay.</p>
<p>Los Angeles is rife with glitzy hair salons, most of which tend toward a cold aesthetic and factory-like treatment of clients. Not so at <a href="http://primroseorganics.com/story.html" target="_blank">Primrose</a>, where a light-filled interior decorated with vintage vanities, painted with VOC-free paint, and stylists&#8217; inscrutable attention to your &#8211; yes, <em>your</em> &#8211; needs make for a warm ambiance.<span id="more-15287"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://primroseorganics.com/story.html" target="_blank">Primrose</a> carries a slew of ecofabulous-approved lines, <a href="http://www.ecofabulous.com/ecobeauty/hair-today-gone-tomorrow/" target="_blank">Hamadi Organics</a>, <a href="http://www.ecofabulous.com/ecobeauty/ask-the-master/" target="_blank">John Masters Organics</a>, and Priti nail polish among them. In the chemical-happy hair industry, Primrose is a vanguard of eco-friendly beauty, and we laud the salon for proving that going green can be done on any scale. From their reclaimed, gussied-up salon chairs to the non-toxic putty spackled on their walls, <a href="http://primroseorganics.com/feliciahowe.html" target="_blank">Howe</a> and Tornay are examples for small business owners hoping to move toward a sustainable future. The duo is committed to honing their product selection and researching the best in even greener treatments as the industry evolves.</p>
<p>When it comes to sheer—or rather, shear—talent, we were blown away by Felicia&#8217;s ability to turn an unruly mane into a stylishly full-bodied, low maintenance cut. The salon also offers <a href="http://primroseorganics.com/nailcare.html" target="_blank">eco mani&#8217;s</a>, which would be an amazing add-on to a day of beauty at Primrose. We&#8217;ll take seconds from this gem of a salon and its en vogue staff.</p>
