EO® Introduces All Purpose Soap!

One thing that solves all your problems. This is the stuff dreams are made of really, isn't it? Yes.

This week I put EO all purpose soap in the dishwasher, laundry, bathroom sink, and shower and I can happily say all of my worldly goods are chemical-free and clean. Have not yet been brave enough to wash my apples with it but apparently it does wonders for fruit as well. Note to EO: can you please work on an all purpose man, career, money cure?

Available in Lavender, Meyer Lemon, and Peppermint. Enjoy!

It took 29 years but I finally have skin like a model

Whether you're looking for a high-end SPA treatment in a DIY daily kind of way, or just a pure organic catharsis from the outside in you must try my new shower routine. Part German masochistic grandmother, part new age organic yoga mom, ALL soft model-like skin.

1) Liz Earle Naturally Active Skincare Energising Body Wash ($21 for 6.7 fl oz)

This thick gel stimulates the skin with Damask Rose Water, Essential Oils of Eucalyptus, Geranium, Grapefruit, Patchouli, Peppermint, Petitgrain, Pine, Rosemary, Sweet Orange and Liz's personal favorite, Vitamin E. If you opt in for the brush, which is an essential skin care experience if you consider yourself even remotely interested in beauty or skincare, this gel is also thick enough to cushion the intense exfoliation delivered by those German made natural bristles

2) Liz Earle Naturally Active Skincare Natural Bristle Body Brush ($14 made in Germany)

Since I received these items for free, I imagined the high quality of this brush would translate to a hefty sum. Hand crafted, easily removable head - a real work of art. Shocked to find out it's only $14. This trio could easily put day spas out of business.

3) Liz Earle Naturally Active Skincare Energising Hip and Thigh Gel ($8.50 1 fl oz) This is where the magic happens. All I can say is it makes me willing to believe that having even my oddly curvy thighs could potentially be a good thing. This is a minor miracle. You must.

To learn more about the brilliance and inspiration behind Liz Earle Naturally Active Skincare, check out my interview with it's founder and namesake, Ms. Earle.

Travel with Jurlique: Carry-on Love Balm

There is no way the TSA will even contemplate confiscating this .5 oz tin of perfection. Jurlique's Love Balm instantly soothes rough dry patches. In an unwittingly brilliant move I put this in my makeup bag while packing for yesterday's flight. Midflight with my knees forcibly smashed into the seats in front of me I somehow yogini-ed my way towards the dry patches on both ankles and my right love handle with gobs of this Love Balm smeared over my index finger and it was instant (organic) relief. It's Beauty's SPOT travel must from now on. Enjoy!

Full Disclosure: Jurlique sent this to me for free months and months ago.

The Same Questions I Ask Everyone ....With Melissa Shabinsky of Revolution Organics

After hearing from co-founder Alexandra last week, this week we are lucky enough to feature Revolution Organics' other (equally gorgeous) half Melissa Shabinsky. These women, like their product, are highly efficient, stylish, and beautiful inside and out.

What is your first memory of beauty products?
A big outing to the mall was not complete without a walk through the makeup counters at the department store. I thought that it was the most glamorous place in the world.

At what age did you start wearing makeup?
Officially at around 15, but I did sneak in a little mascara and lip gloss into my backpack when I was 13 and apply in the bathroom at school.

If you could apply only one product for the next month what would it be?
Our All-Over Beauty Balm – it is honestly the only product I need and use all the time. It is my color, highlighter, moisturizer, blush, lip color and bronzer all in one!

If you could give one product to all women in the world what would it be?
Our certified organic All Over Body Balm – we created it to make every woman's life a little easier.

If you could ban one harmful ingredient from all beauty products what would it be?
Petrochemicals

What is your favorite skincare ingredient?
Coconut oil

What is the last product you created?
I have an entire cosmetic bag full of lab samples of new products that we are creating right now, just essentials that every woman would want, like a good mascara.

Who is the business woman you most admire?
Leslie Blodgett - she is an innovator and is constantly ahead of the trend curve

Whose beauty do you most admire?
My mom. She is blessed with good genes (which I hope have been passed onto me) but takes care of herself and her skin and NEVER sits in the sun. She is also at peace with her looks, something that many women have a hard time doing, which makes her really truly beautiful.

What was your best Spa experience?
I’m not a spa girl, I can’t sit still that long!

Besides your own, what is your favorite brand?
It has been so long since I have worn any other products other than ours but I do like what ColorScience has done with their mineral protections.
