I’ll always have a soft spot for L’Occitane En Provence, because it was the brand that marked my transition from buying only drugstore beauty products to buying luxe ones.
L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream was my first luxe purchase, all shiny in its malleable silver and blue tube with black cap. The contents inside made my [...]

If you stop to really think about the kinds of chemicals we subject our bodies to in the name of beauty, we’d probably think twice about some of the products we apply on a regular basis.
Nail polish accounts for a big sector in the cosmetics market — Chanel Vamp, anyone? — so that means the [...]

 If someone asked me what sense I couldn’t live without, it would be sight.
That’s why it is increasingly important for me to protect my peepers in any way possible — which includes not wearing my contact lenses for 16 hours straight, eating as many carrots as possible (kidding) and using organic mascara — because anything you put on the skin, especially near the eyes, is just as important as what you put in the body.
When I’m talking mascara, I mean the kind without parabens, petrolatum, formaldehyde and tar.

 The other day, someone put the fear in me when it comes to deodorants and antiperspirants by mentioning the potential cancer-causing chemicals harboring within them.
It’s something I had never stopped to think about, having been a stick and gel user for the past, oh, 14 or 15 years of my life.
Looking at the back of my current antipersirpant — Speedstick Gel 24/7 in Fresh Rush (I’ve never been one for the girly scents) — I realized any label that reads “If swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away” should set off major red flags.

 Living a raucous, fast city existence is kind of what happens to single city gals in their (ahem) twenties — after all, it’s the only time you’ll be able to work hard and play hard with slim to none inklings of regret.
This said “raucous” lifestyle usually consists of a full day’s work (mine being in front of my MacbBook for most of it), evening events (yesterday it was a store opening) and potentially post-shindig beverages. Then comes the weekend, fueled by dinner, girls’ nights out and Sunday eggs benny brunches followed by a lazy Sunday afternoon.
I almost don’t want to think of what kind of trauma us young professional ladies put our bodies through living the fun life, but maybe — just maybe — its effects can be counteracted with holistic body products touting aromatherapy and naturopathy goodness.
