Love Thy Mother
Arika Casebolt - Baltimore Beauty Examiner
I used to roll my eyes when I heard someone refer to "Mother Earth". The term conjures images of filthy hippies reeking of poor-quality Patchouli, all googly-eyed and possibly hopped up on the Goofballs and Mary Jane. But I feel differently now.

As I got older and my awareness grew of the world's rapidly depleting resources, I began to understand that the Earth is, in fact, our parent in the most literal sense. We come from it, it nourishes us in every single way. In my endeavor to work only with Earth-friendly and organic products, I discovered LoveLula.com, a UK-based site devoted solely to exactly that.
There are hair, makeup, skin and body brands galore, including John Masters Organics, Nvey Eco and of course, Mother Earth.
Everything sold on LoveLula claims to be free of parabens, artificial fragrance and petrochemicals, among many other nasty little toxins. The site's brands give me my necessary dose of luxury without excess, so I can use cool stuff and still honor my mother.

Affliction
Arika Casebolt - Baltimore Beauty Examiner
One day not so long ago, a package came for me. I tried to act casual and nonchalant when the doorman called to tell me of its arrival; "Oh, okay", I yawned. "I'll be down soon to pick it up". Just like the addict I am, I get embarrassed... Read More
