Kassie always knew she wanted to do hair. That has always been her primary passion, even while simultaneously adventuring down other paths: Pilates instructor, personal trainer, and student of Funtional medicine. But she reached a turning point in which she had to make a decision. The exposure to the types of chemicals involved in coloring hair was affecting her health. It was either stop doing what she loves, or make a break from the mainstream methods and formulate a healthier solution that would allow her to keep doing what she loves. And to the benefit of her own self and all of us who are her clients, she took the leap of faith and decided to make it all work!...
For those of you who are already composting food and yard waste, have you ever considered composting old clothing or other fabric items? Maybe you have, but didn’t know if you could or how. We all end up with some worn out clothes. You know, the ones that are just too worn for donating. My pajama tops are usually my oldest most favorite t-shirt that has become too worn to wear in public. Think Swiss cheese, but in fabric. Picture sleeves hanging on for dear life. Imagine ultimate softness. My family gets a kick out of my well-loved old shirt pajamas. Sadly, I always know, once a shirt becomes a pj top for me, the process of wearing out is...
You care. You want to know that your purchases do in fact matter. So, I am letting you know, organic cotton does matter. Organic cotton conserves water, uses far less harmful chemicals and increases food security to the farmers (due to crop rotation). It also promotes biodiversity, maintains better soil health and reduces farmers’ exposure to harmful chemicals. Want to read more? I included links at the bottom of this post. There is a growing movement toward making mindful purchases. My path to starting this business started with a New Year’s resolution to avoid purchasing newly produced conventional cotton. One action, one focus started a new path. I also had to forgive myself for things I knew I could do...
Fall is a great time to wear shorter skirts. The cool weather makes it comfortable to wear them over tights or leggings. You're not showing skin, and you can wear tights/leggings that smooth you from ankle to waist. And what could be more comfortable than a skirt over a pair of leggings? Short skirts work well for us short women. Plain and simple, it is very proportional and in scale with our bodies. So go ahead and show as much leg as possible! EcoPetites Rouched Skirt in Navy, Ruby and Bay Blue Do you ever almost wear a skirt and then put it back and choose something else? I find that the biggest reason I do that is not having...
Think again. Before I started this business, I rarely shopped in boutiques. Maybe while on vacation, I might take a peak and look around, at best to get ideas for sewing projects. However, I just assumed that nothing would fit. And on the occasion when I get extra hopeful, the trip to the dressing room often proved me right. And how many times can you be disappointed before you just don’t even look? You with me so far? Here I am wearing a Salaam top with a Laura Hlavac skirt Well, my opinion has changed. First of all, the whole reason to shop in a boutique is to find unique offerings. It should really then be no surprise that boutiques...
