Grapes are a glorious fruit - not sure if we’re able to technically count wine as one of our daily servings, but we sure can try! Delicious to drink? Absolutely.

The brains behind SEED Power Body Care have an entire line dedicated to the benefits of this little wonder, with grape seed oil enriched lotions, body bars and even a shampoo bar! (more…)
Farm to Face

The newest thing in organic farming is a shoot-off of the farm-to-table movement… we’re calling it the farm-to-face movement, and it’s being pioneered by the lovely Tata Harper. After all, 60% of what you put on your skin gets absorbed into your blood stream, so it’s equally important that we nourish our epidermis with the same quality ingredients that we use to feed our bodies. Tata’s skincare line is the result of a five year global quest to create an exquisitely natural skincare line that provides powerful results without any of the harmful side effects. (more…)
Lavishly Natural

Want in on a dirty little secret? Studies show that many antibacterial soaps contain pesticides (like triclosan) that are used to kill bacteria. Research shows that all you need to do is get rid of the germs on your hands, not kill them - so there’s no reason to be using such toxic chemicals so close to your skin (not to mention the fact that antibacterial soaps aren’t any more effective at killing the viruses that actually make you sick!). What’s the solution? Good old soap and water. (more…)

Paper-Thin Perfection
Date: March 18, 2010 | Category: Beauty, Skin Care
Hailing from the 300 year old beauty secret of geishas in Imperial Japan comes an all-natural and biodegradable oil-blotting sheet that is as exquisitely simple and effective as ever (isn’t that the case for all the best things in life?). Tatcha Aburatorigami blotting papers are large sheets (3.74″ x3/74″) of handmade 100% abaca leaf with small flecks of gold - this originally occurred as a by-product of the precious metal hammering done by craftsman that were creating super thin sheets to enrobe Japan’s extraordinary pavilions (makes a girl feel like royalty, no?).
