Imagine taking a pile of finely ground sugar cane (smooth as mushy sand) and adding an organic puree of whole fruit blueberries and non-gmo organic yogurt. Sounds like a smoothie right? It's not. It is Eminence's Blueberry Soy Sugar Scrub and it is divine. The facial cocktail starts out a deep purply blue color but when you add water it foams into a white yogurt paste and the fine sugar crystals

Klecka Naturals Massage Oil: Sublime and USDA Certified Organic

I love being a beauty blogger. I examine copious amount of beauty products. I share the results, and my other obsessions (Spa. Organics. and Travel.) with all of you. And I relish every moment of the process. Except occasionally I stumble over how to differentiate between products I think are lovely and want to share with you and products I can't live with out. For this reason I am developing a

Guest Blogger: A Mom in Red High Heels explains "organic"

All of this "going green" has gotten slightly confusing even for me. In order to try and keep it all straight I have divided my makeup shelf into two categories "certified organic" and "chemical free." To help Beauty's Spot readers navigate the murky waters of earth friendly beauty products, Tammy from A Mom in Red High Heels has agreed to share her brilliant guide to sorting through the fields o

Product Rave: Organic wear makeup by Physicians Formula

I am falling for Organic wear makeup rather quickly. In particular the pressed powder is a new must-have. It comes in the most adorable compact with a perfectly sized mirror and application brush. This is not just any compact however. Physicians formula has a patent pending on this Eco-conscious PAPER COMPACT (93% less packaging than a normal compact!) The powder itself is 100% free of harsh chem

From SenSpa to Healing Earth Resources: Massage Therapy and Energy Healing with Sara Brown
Sara Brown is a massage therapist and intuitive healer. She is also a dear friend but honestly even if I didn't know that she is one of the most amazing people on the planet earth, I'd rave about her talents as a massage therapist and a healer. Luckily for Beauty's Spot readers (since most of you are in California, North Carolina, and New York) she works in San Francisco at Sen Spa and in Chapel

Beauty Break
Once when I was five years old and riding in the back seat of my mother's car she asked me, "Laur, what is your favorite color?" It had never occurred to me before to pick one color as my favorite so I looked out at the world whizzing by my window and picked the most beautiful thing I could see at that moment. It happened to be an evergreen tree sparkling with sunlight as clouds spread from the s
