Yay for Organic Beauty Products!

A couple of months ago I was on youtube watching make up videos...because this is what I do when I am extremely bored...and I came across a couple of gurus who talked about Eco-Emi. This small company works with others to bring awareness of the importance of organic beauty and body products as well as other household items. People who are interested in this movement and learning more about how they can be more eco-friendly, can become a member of Eco-Emi and pay a monthly membership fee of $15. This fee includes a box full of goodies that will seriously blow your mind away! Each box contains samples, between 5-10, from companies that produce organic items and for those who wish to purchase full size products, your box contains a ton of coupons!

I have fallen in love with this company and my membership fee is totally worth it. Last month, June, I received my first box and it was AWESOME BUT I just received my July Box and I think I love it even more!!!! I had somewhat of a rough day today so coming home to my box completely changed my spirit. I hadnt even opened the box and I could smell heavenly goodness. Below you'll see a few pictures of the items in this month's box but the following are my favorites! I will have to order full size products of these:

* Fortune cookie soap with lavender essential oils - NO harmful animal testing is conducted for this product.

* Aloe and green tea hand and body lotion - Smells soooo good!

* Rose hips black soap deep pore wash and mask - I cant wait to try it.

* Organic vanilla mint lip mosturizer balm - My lips are going to be in heaven!

* Body washes by Dr. Hauschka

And one of my ultimate favorite things is a drawstring bag stamped with a water based non-toxic ink. First of all, I love dragon flies and secondly, I can use this little pouch for anything! So as you can tell, I am so happy to be a member of this company and I cant wait to share my excitement with friends and family!

So simple yet beautiful!

The experience of opening an Eco Emi box is AMAZING. Sounds silly but its true! The packaging is so pretty you dont even want to open it!

What else can I say? Its just great.

Here comes the Duchess!

Sure...she's beautiful, graceful, and has a great sense of style, but I think there is much more to the Duchess of Cambridge that attracts even those who can care less about the English Monarchy. As everything else in the media, all we hear about is how thin she is, what she is wearing, what designer brand her shoes are, blah blah blah...but honestly, I could care less. I do think that despite all the fuss, she appears to be very humble. Behind the fancy dresses, she is like any other woman...sure, she's married to a Prince and can live in a castle if she wants, but there is something very genuine about her that makes her seem relatable...yes, relatable. Perhaps it is because we are so close in age and she seems to be just as independent as any Western woman and I truly admire that.

We all know that as a future Queen, her work, whether positive or negative, will impact everyone worldwide. She is now in a position where she can help millions and the fact that she is intelligent and young makes me believe she will make a great role model. It is actually pretty exciting to see what the future holds for her and the people that follow her soooo we'll just have to wait and see. Of the few famous people that I would love to have coffee with she is definitely one of them! I wouldnt mind looking through her closet either despite my comment above :)    





Here is a postcard that was sent to me by an old friend who now lives in London. I'd show you the other side but the message is private ;)
