I'm all about natural cosmetics...YES, I LOVE to get dressed up, wear makeup, take care of my skin, but NOT at the expense of putting chemicals and unsafe products on my body....there's a story there, but I'll keep it for another time.  For now, I'm just saying that for ME, I don't want products on my skin that will be absorbed and do harm.  There are enough chemicals and carcinogens in our air and it's pretty difficult to not breathe, so we need to do what we can to limit harmful substances. 


There are MANY companies that are safe and natural, but just because they say NATURAL and even ORGANIC, does NOT mean that all of their ingredients are safe.  


A few of my FAVORITE cosmetic/ health and beauty companies are: 


MyChelle--I'll tell you more about them in my next blog; female owned, Colorado based
http://www.mychelle.com/


Lotus Moon-- and the gal who got it all started is just the greatest! - San Francisco
http://www.smbessentials.com/


Bubble and Bee -- another great female-owned company  Utah company
http://www.bubbleandbee.com/


There are others I love, but this is a great start and I want to go into detail about them and why I like them....I mean I LOVE them....REALLY, I do!!


I will be doing some youtube videos on these companies and show you the products, how I use them, and a little more about me...so stay tuned!
