Since I had
to give up the Jergens self-tanner, I was psyched to learn that Spirit Beauty
Lounge is the exclusive online carrier of Chocolate
Sun Organic Sunless Treatment. Recognizing the desire for a healthy
alternative to tanning in booths and excessive exposure to the sun, Chocolate
Sun developed their flower-and-herbal-based solution without chemicals,
parabens, or allergens. The line includes both delicious-smelling sunscreens and
sunless tanners.
Also, Honoré des Prés Organic Luxury Perfume Brand, formerly only available in France, is now for sale at SpiritBeautyLounge.com with free shipping. For a limited time, a site purchase of $50 or more will offer free sample atomizers of each fragrance. Honoré des Prés is the first line of French organic perfumes designed by Olivia Giacobetti, one of France's most famous perfumers. Each scent in this luxury line is ECOCERT-certified organic, and free of petrochemicals, synthetic perfumes, coloring agents, and phthalates. Check out Spirit Beauty Lounge's six tips for green shopping featured on Self Magazine's Web site. |

I'm
completely in love with Vintage Blue, a new eco-friendly line for women designed
here in Philadelphia. Their exclusive collection of All American Girls
Professional Baseball League styles includes the "There's No Crying in Baseball"
tee.
The company is dedicated to producing eco-friendly garments, printing with non-toxic inks, and practicing sustainable business methods. All of the designs are super flattering, even with my growing belly. Vintage Blue has several collaborations in the works, including the "Live Green" tee in collaboration with Boho Magazine. A donation of $1 from each sale will be donated to the Arbor Day Foundation's Plant a Tree Program. The t-shirt as well as the rest of the collection is available for purchase through Vintage Blue's Web site. |
