It’s no secret if you’ve followed my work elsewhere — I am a longtime fan of La Bella Figura and consider them one of the most premium, luxurious lines in beauty. The fact that their products are completely nontoxic is just icing on the cake because when it comes to performance, La Bella Figura […]

  Early last October, I attended an event hosted by W3LL People at their studio in Austin, Texas. The evening was memorable for so many reasons. For starters, it was there that I met Terri and Marc from Integrity Botanicals and this blog collaboration was born. It was also where I met Brandie Gilliam, the […]

  With each new season comes the chance to shake things up and refresh your look. Though the runway trends for spring 2015 had some classic high-fashion makeup looks that don’t translate to everyday wear (or even special occasion wear, but hey it’s art!), some of the runway trends are not only attainable and approachable, […]

We fine haired people usually have one goal — get that volume! Whether you want to go Dolly Parton big or simply amp up and thicken your tresses a bit, you don’t have to resort to aerosol cans of toxic hairspray and other iffy products in your quest for full-bodied, luscious hair. There are some […]

Since I’ve switched to gentle, all natural shampoos my hair has become more balanced and requires less washing, but I still have this romantic notion that I could one day do without shampoo altogether.

The beautiful thing about the majority of the natural, non-toxic lines we love is that the story behind the brand usually begins with […]

  Lina Hanson Global Beauty is synonymous with purity and luxury. The line is a small collection of botanical oil-based serums that are each blended to perfection for a gorgeous experience every time. The line’s namesake, Lina Hanson, is a makeup artist with a passion for traveling and a big heart. As a makeup artist […]

My first experience with a “toner” was probably similar to yours — an alcohol-based concoction that I swiped over my face while battling typical breakouts and oily skin as a teen. The toner would often burn, and it definitely removed oil, but it was overly harsh. Looking back, I’m a little horrified that I put […]

In addition to lavender and eucalyptus essential oils, lemon is one of the most useful, multipurpose essential oils you can have around the house. The bright happy scent comes from the peel of the lemon, which is expressed for its oil (cold pressing the peel breaks the oil glands and allows the oil to release). […]

  Yarok was the first clean hair care line that I tried outside of the brands I’d experimented with from local health food stores, so it holds a special place in my green beauty heart. I remember the initial allure and how happy I was with the Yarok Feed Your Volume Shampoo and Conditioner. It […]
