 This afternoon, I got the chance to preview the newest goodies from organic product range Kiss My Face and chat with its two founders, Bob MacLeod and Steve Byckiewicz.
Kiss My Face, established in the early 1980s on a 200-acre organic farm in New York’s Hudson River Valley, was one of the first companies to dabble in organic cosmetics and skincare, bursting onto the scene with their famous olive bar soaps. MacLeod and Byckiewicz, both vegetarians, set out to make healthy products at the grassroots levels, using organic and natural ingredients (think shea butter, olive oil, beeswax, silica, tea tree and Iceland Moss) blended together in laboratory locations around the world.

 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.

 Lush is that UK beauty company where you get to cut off a chunk of natural soap from a block in the amount you want and get fizzy bath bombs while you’re at it, too.

 Macy’s is going the way of green, eight brands at a time, with the launch of their store-in-a-store concept Beautiful Planet at their location in Herald Square.
With people turning to eco-consciousness as a lifestyle rather than a passing trends, Beautiful Planet is giving consumers the choice of using natural, paraben-free beauty products that work just as well as other Sephora or luxe department store brands. Even the decor itself is green-minded and sustainable: bamboo, recycled metals, low VOC paints and coconut shell tiles. Each brand comes with a description printed on post-consumer recycled paper, as well.
