For most of the population deodorant is a regular part of our daily personal hygiene and skin care routine.  Everyone wants to smell great all day, but for those who don’t like using products with lots of chemical ingredients the mainstream brands of deodorants are not a very desirable option.

I love finding out about skin care lines that hail from foreign countries and cultures because they incorporate ideas and technologies that are probably commonplace in their country of origin, but in American they could be completely new.  French beauty line Cattier comes all the way from Paris, but is now available to U.S. customers exclusively from online natural and organic beauty store, Beautorium.

Enessa creator Michelle Ornstein was inspired by …read more

You read about them in magazines, run out and spend $15 at the supermarket on two avocados, an ounce of turmeric powder and almond oil, and wind up with a dirty counter, a blender that needs washing and a mask that’s either too oily or dry as cake.
Save yourself the time and frustration and cheat a little. BeFine Warming Clay Mask comes straight out of a kitchen you won’t have to clean, and contains all of the natural ingredients you want in a facial product, like pomegranate, cardamom, …read more
