Beauty Industry Giants with Homegrown Organic Skin Care Line

Drive down main street and you quickly get the feeling that this town might very well be the one that time forgot. The decaying storefronts are mostly boarded up, the outlying factories have long since closed their doors. ‘Welcome to Andrews… home of Chubby Checker’ the rusted green sign welcomes the few that drive through… yes it’s the most unlikely place to find the next luxury skin care company.

But in the eyes of mompreneur, Corene Hejl-Edgeworth, Andrews is the perfect place to find the uncommon life she’s pursuing. Somewhere between dance lessons, art projects and homemade stuffed cabbage she found … Read More »

Skin: Your Biggest Organ, Treat it Right

Everyday more and more beauty companies are choosing to go green with their products, and why not?  So many of the best ingredients come from nature, so why pick up a product where you can barely read words like propilparabeno, or Laurent sulfate?  Your skin is your biggest organ, take care of it.

Pumpkins Aren’t Just For Carving–Fun Beauty Products For Fall! | October 31, 2009

Pumpkins Aren’t Just For Carving–Fun Beauty Products For Fall!
