Picture yourself wearing one of these elegant dresses at a soirée at a villa on the Italian Riviera, sipping a glass of Barolo, tossing your head back to laugh playfully at a remark made by a tall handsome... well...you know the rest... Such is the inspiration for this beautiful collection of bamboo and bamboo tencel knit dresses from Ecoskin. When you wear one, you can't help but feel confident and beautiful...understated with just the right amount of detail...yet so striking you will turn heads for sure. And, the simplicity of the pieces makes them perfect for dressing up or down, when you're elegant "soirée" is really just meeting a friend for lunch or hitting a restaurant and maybe a club.

 

We've picked three favorites, but there are so many more and the line also includes some wonderful tops. Pictured above are the Angelica dress in Cloud (left), the asymetrical Brasenia in Potent Purple (center) and the Peridot in Lavender (right). Each dress comes in several colors, including black. We point that out because they all qualify as the perfect "little black dress." And, the best part is that all this eco fashion elegance can be yours for less than $200. You've gotta' love that!

THE LATEST "GOSSIP"

 

Pssst….Far be it from us to spread gossip, but when we have a tidbit this juicy, we just can’t keep it to ourselves! The 411 is that Brigit True Organics products were recently featured in the hit television show “Gossip Girl.” It seems that several of the organic skin care collection's soaps and body lotions were on display in Blair’s bathroom and, if they’re good enough for Blair, then we knew we had to give them a try.

 

The Organic Olive Oil Castille Soap (below left) lathered up nicely in the shower and left our skin squeaky clean (literally). The Organic Shea Butter Solid Lotion (below right) impressed us with the hands free way it glided on. One word of caution however: USE IT SPARINGLY. The package warns that a little goes a long way and they mean it. The scents, like lavender and peppermint, are fabulous too.

 

This is gossip that is okay to spread—just remember that you heard it here first! Check out the entire line of nourishing creams, lotions, soaps and more at www.brigittrueoranics.com.

 

 

SKIN CARE AS EASY AS 1-2-3!

 

We hate to break this to all you product junkies, but it’s time to clear out the hundreds of bottles of lotions and potions fighting for space in your medicine cabinet and downsize your skin care to only three products—the Himalayan Mineral Treatment - 3 Step Organic Skin Care System by Spiritual Quest (formerly Natura Essence). We know, we know… how can a simple three step skin care plan be as effective as say five, six or even ten steps? We were skeptical too and then we lathered up with the minty smelling, richly foaming face wash and we were smitten.

 

Made from Himalayan and Volcanic minerals, which detoxify and nurture the skin, as well as a blend of other organic ingredients, the three steps consist of the cleanser, a mineral masque (which you can actually feel pulsating and tightening the skin as it dries) and a mineral moisturizer. The collection looks and feels like a luxurious spa-quality line and leaves your skin radiant and glowing. Good things really do come in threes! Order yours at www.spiritualquest.com.
