Update: Interview With David Bronner

So my interview with David Bronner that I thought I would have up this week has been pushed back due to technical difficulties. Boo, hiss… I know. No throwing tomatoes at me. Be patient and I promise it will make for an interesting read next week. Needless to say the essence and legacy of Emil […]

Nurture Your Folicles

I’m kinda obsessive when it comes to my beauty products. Shock, gasp, I know. I will look at the same product about twenty times before I commit to buying it. Most of the time anyway. For the past month I have been looking at Mother Earth’s Hair Conditioning Oil at Love Lula and trying really hard […]

Spread The Love Around

I know that some people get icked out by the idea of buying used goods or sharing things. I used to be one of those people so I’m certainly not going to look down my nose at anyone. Everyone has a line that they will or will not cross and that’s okay. Well I guess […]

Like Butter Baby

I recently picked up Korres Lip Butter in Pomegranate and I am really loving it. I have been trying to find a great tinted lip balm and I feel like this is it. Well at least for now. You know me, I will be smitten with something else in a few weeks. It is actually moisturizing […]

So Fresh You May Want To Eat It

Not to beat a dead horse but I went to LUSH again over the weekend. Yes again… it was Mother’s Day. Don’t look at me like that. You will understand when I tell you that they have these amazing fresh face masks on ice in the store and you can’t get them online. I’ll paint […]

Love (and makeup) is a Battlefield

Over at Grist there’s an interview with Stacy Malkan, of Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. It’s very interesting and she brings up some good points that I have been thinking about lately. What if you don’t have access to “green” products or can’t afford to feed their families solely organic food? I don’t have the answer, it’s […]

Awesome Homemade Mother’s Day Gifts

Even if you’re too old to make your mom a macaroni necklace (and have it be appreciated) that doesn’t mean that you can’t make her something from your heart. It’s a great way to not buy anything, or at least buy minimally maybe. Ultimately it really is about the thought behind it. A necklace from […]

Baby Take A Bow

 
The contest is now over and I am happy to announce the winners, Tracy, Tammy and…Dog Skin (don’t ask me). Thanks to everyone that “came out” to participate. There will always be more contests and you are a good person; don’t beat yourself up about it. Those lip balms are missing out and in ten […]

The Polls Are Closed

Thanks to everyone who commented and entered the BeeCeuticals Bee-yond Lip Balm giveaway. I will announce the winners tomorrow and you will be oh so delighted I’m sure. On another note, what exactly are you getting your mother for Mother’s Day? Did you get it yet or are you a shameful procrastinator causing pain and disappointment […]

Keep Reading As The Story Unfolds

Big news here at Pretty By Nature regarding the recent lawsuit filed against some of the major “organic” personal care companies. I was able to interview David Bronner (president, Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps) about the lawsuit and how he sees the state of the natural and organic industry. There will be a two parter of […]
