Hi everyone!  Contrary to what you might think, this blog is not about booze and expensive fungi.  I am a natural product junkie currently studying herbalism!  Hopefully, those of you who are into leading an eco-conscious/holistic lifestyle will find some of my ramblings helpful and entertaining.  And since it is the holidays, I'm sure some of you haven't really finished Christmas shopping (I know I haven't) and would like to know where to buy some cool gifts.  Here are a couple of my favorite places to shop online if you don't have the time to leave your office, house, studio, or what have you.

1) Follain

I love this site.  Not only does Follain offer an array of quality, non-toxic personal care products to choose from, but they carry travel sizes!  It's perfect to get when you're constantly on the go, for either yourself or a loved one.  Travel-sized packages also make great gifts and are a fantastic way to introduce your friend/family member to a brand you love.  Shipping is free if you buy over $45 worth of products; can't beat that.

2) Spirit Beauty Lounge

I have been a huge fan of Spirit Beauty Lounge for a few years now.  Not only did this site introduce me to Widu brushes and Lotus Wei (my fave aromatherapy brand), but their customer service is consistently top-notch.  Never had a problem with my packages being shipped late, which is always a plus...especially during this season.  Browse their Green Gifts section, which lists products according to price point if you have a specific budget in mind.

3) The Detox Market



Valérie Grandury of Odacité co-founded this shop in Los Angeles and opened up two more locations in Toronto.  If you haven't heard of Odacité, I strongly recommend their Pure Elements facial oils, particularly the Papaya + Geranium if you or someone you know suffers from hyperpigmentation.  Not only do they smell divine, but they work at targeting specific skin concerns and actually deliver results over time. Other great gifts you can find here are organic chocolates, cleansing teas and supplements.
