Animal testing - that’s what many of the mainstream cosmetics companies do, and we, along with some high profile celebs, are standing up and fighting for animal-free testing.

Actress Kristin Bauer, of HBO’s “True Blood” has an annual ritual when she visits her home in Wisconsin - she takes a black marker and scribbles on the sides of specific products and cosmetics, “Tested on animals.”

In a recent study the University of Reading in the UK found that most of our beauty products are likely responsible for increasing our risk of getting breast cancer. British scientists analyzed tissue samples from more than 100 women and found parabens throughout the tissue - even in women who said they had never used deodorant. Which isn’t really good news for anyone using beauty products.

We recently had the pleasure of connecting with Tara P. a physical trainer, mom and blogger in Florida. She shared with us her very personal story on why she is choosing to live a more natural lifestyle by eliminating the potentially harmful chemicals found in everyday items.

Yesterday was an exciting day for us. Just from one post on Alicia Silverstone’s blog, “The Kind Life,” we expanded our fan base by thousands! We could not be happier to have so many new friends.

Since some of you may not be familiar with us we wanted to let know what makes us stand out from the rest.

As the end of 2011 approaches and we begin to think about the New Year it’s time to evaluate our lives.

In 2012 we want to challenge you to live a more natural lifestyle.

The reasons to try living naturally are endless. Anyone who has tried it will tell you they have more energy, are cutting potentially harmful toxins out of their life, reducing the risk of cancer and disease, and avoiding products that can cause skin rashes, irritation and redness.

Winter usually means war on your soft and supple lips. The cold winds and dry air can cause cracking, peeling and even bleeding! That’s just not appealing especially during the holidays when everyone is trying to look their best.

The holidays are here and tis the season for giving back! We know that for many the end of 2011 does not mean gift-wrapped presents and a huge feast, but an end to a difficult financial year.

This holiday season our goal is to strengthen community spirit by simply showing that we care. That’s why we are getting involved with two very deserving organizations to make the holidays a joyous time.

After you’ve put away the Thanksgiving leftovers on Thursday, it’s time to gear up for Black Friday shopping! If your plans include hitting up the great deals at Walmart, you’ll be excited to know you can also gobble up a sale on our Fragrance Free Roll-On!

This weekend there will be an inspiring and uplifting conference just for women. It’s the annual “Speaking of Women’s Health Conference” focusing specifically on women’s health.

The theme this year is A Journey to Wellness. The special day is full of dynamic keynote speakers, informative sessions on health and fitness, and free screenings and assessments. It’s all designed to empower women of all ages to live healthier and more balanced lives.

This Sunday is World Kindness Day. It’s a day that encourages us to be kind to others, helping to create a nicer, better world. We think part of this day should include being kind to your body!
