Whole Foods Whole Body: Unique Offerings w/ You & the Earth As Top Priorities

by

I love me some Whole Foods; I just wish there was one much closer to where I live! I use their 365 brand Lavender Blend Body Lotion on a daily basis (I keep it desk side), and luckily took in the the latest offerings from Whole Body at Whole Foods Market this summer. I was glad to attend, so that I can share with you the  ultra cool, healthy, and environmentally responsible brands and products that I encountered!

MyChelle

MyChelle Dermaceuticals has all the acoutriement of a high end luxury brand, while using clinically proven, natural bioactive ingredients to deliver safe and effective products that are an alternative to chemical ingredient beauty items.  Some of the latest items, that we at FPD tested and LOVED are Ultimate Lash and Brow Serum, Sun Shield SPF 28 – All / Combination Skin, and the Vitamin A Plus Serum – All / Combination Skin.

Amazing Grass

I love family-run businesses; they always just have such a great story, and grass roots approach that is priceless; in the case of Amazing Grass, the grass roots idea is actually literal as well!   Grown on a family farm in Kansas, a scoop of Amazing Grass in juice has four servings of vegetables,with the fiber dosage filling the tummy to create the sense of fullness. Not sure if you can do the green, veggie taste? Try the new Orange Dreamsicle GREEN SuperFood; it is really delicious, with a definite, but not overpowering taste of that orange dessert delight.  I love it! It tastes good super duper cold; so fill your glass with at least 12 ounces of water and a handful of ice cubes. All of the AG products are certified organic, gluten free and vegan.

Azalea

Is a new line of all-natural feminine care products including tampons, pantiliners and maxipads comprised of 100% organic cotton. They also don’t contain any allergies, petrochemicals, are hypoallergenic, perfume and chlorine free, dermalogically tested, and not tested on animals. Honestly, I never really thought much about how this genre of products can seriously carry harmful pesticides and think about how closely we use them with our body! It is definitely something to consider — I know I will be more conscious of this when making my purchases going forward! And, these products perform 100% the same, if not better, than the popular brands – trust me on this one.

Booties Go Boyish With Suede Desert Boots For Fall! (thefind Guest Post)

by


From our friends at thefind:

If you’ve been a fan of the casual-yet-chic desert boot trend — more western and slightly edgier than the oxford styles, but with that same boyish charm — or even if you weren’t quite sold by the flat takes on the style, you may find a new obsession in this season’s heeled versions! Without sacrificing the desert boot’s laid-back feel that makes it so popular, these takes on the trend give the style a sophisticated update, while the added height makes the original low-key look significantly more strut-worthy while still keeping its comfort. Additionally, the suede finish makes the look a little more luxe, and somehow just manages to automatically scream ‘Fall!’ If you’re not afraid of height or a nice chunky wedge, take a look at Tory Burch’s ‘Denise’ wedge , but if you want the height without the blocky look, consider these Steve Madden lace-up Taara boots! For a more classic desert style, try Madewell’s Suede Sandstorm Boot in a fall-festive shade like “Flint” or play it safe and stick with black like these ‘Kallin’ boots from Aldo for a pair that will carry you through the winter!
