Though we love to make our own facial masks, as to be as gentle on our bodies, as on the earth, travel and a frantic work schedule make it impossible to always be able to whip up a facial smoothie. With a dozen women on our staff, each with her unique skin needs, but united in wanting to use products that are free of artificial dyes, parabens, phthalates, phenoxyethanol and other words that are best left to Scrabble, we have found a company that shares our values, is free of unpronounceable chemicals and makes our skin glow like the blush of first love.
Of course, we first discovered Caudalíe in France, where the brand was born on a, (where else), winery. Before we learned of their commitment to the environment, and genius on site spa waste water purification system to water their gardens, we knew only this: our skin had never felt more hydrated, or looked less blotchy. Of course, we all have a “must have” product that would be the one that we would take if marooned on an island. These are the top 5 products that our staff finally settled on:
We have not been been compensated in any way to sing the praises of Caudalíe, we just adore this Brand, respect their commitment to a healthier planet, and are “grapefull” for what their products have done for our skin.
Mother’s Day is fast approaching. We can’t think of a better beauty gift for your mother or you, as a mother. Wait. Actually, we can! Caudalíe has spas! A trip to one of their boutique or destination spas will make this Mother’s Day one to remember. (Hint, hint to our husbands and children that are reading this.)
Happy and Healthy Mother’s Day xo

Four years later, my ancestral land is still battling to come back from the brink of disaster. There are many organizations that have stayed beyond the media sound bites to help the people of Haiti including Simbi Haiti. The company generates money for the cause by selling hair ties and headbands that keep Haitians employed and helps raise money to install water filtration systems throughout the country, saving lives.

Simbi, a company that makes accessories that work equally well on your wrist or in your hair, is coming out with two new products: Simbi Twill and Simbi Clay bracelets. There's more to these than fashion; the Haitian-based enterprise employs local residents, and uses a portion of its proceeds to install water filtration systems in the country. According to the company website, each Simbi sold creates one gallon of purified water per day.
The clay-bead bracelets, made from Haitian clay, are hand-rolled, baked and painted, and the twill wrist wraps are inspired by Haitian tribal art. Both are expected out in November.
