Here are some of my faves on sale right now:
I am totally obsessed with the whole sarong-towel-blanket thing. Perhaps I am preparing for some future days on a beach. Perhaps I am just dreaming.
How cute is this? Scarf, wrap, whatever.
I'm always searching for healthy, safe nail polish. It's terrifying when you think of all the chemicals you're mainlining into your nailbed!
The pants are hideous. The faux pony purple peep toes are hot, however.
Here are the distinctions Pure Citizen uses for the companies … look familiar? These are all the things I loved and championed while at Endless Beauty…
Handmade
Celebrates creativity and the beauty of handmade. Many times unique and one of a kind.
Organic
Grown with out pesticides, herbicides, or GMO’s. Organic is safer for farmers and organic fibers are healthier for you. Conventional clothing contains toxic residues from the growing process and finishing process. Something that you do not want near your skin, especially if you have allergies or MCS. No harmful bleaches, dyes or finishing processes are used.
Fairly Produced
Helps thousands of artisans in the developing world by providing fair wages, safe working conditions, job training, opportunity, empowerment, and transparency.
Eco-Conscious
Products that are made by companies that are mindful of reducing their environmental footprint. This includes the use of alternative energy sources, smart use of materials, and use of earth friendly materials.
Recycled
It is amazing what artisans can come up with using recycled/repurposed materials. Think vintage leather jackets transformed into beautiful bags and magazines created into stunning beaded necklaces.
Cruelty Free
Signifies that there was no animal testing or that the animal by-product is from humanely raised animals.
Made in USA
Supports our domestic employment, and reduces the environmental impact from transportation.
One of a Kind
We celebrate each of our beautiful individual self-expressions. With these products you can be sure no one else has one exactly like it
Vegan
No ingredients or materials from animals or animal by-products were used in the creation of this beautiful item.
