Perfect for a Valentines treat. So what did they think?
‘As my facialist Laura explained when she walked me to a treatment room filled with a warm light of calming candles and fluffy towels piled up on the bed, Lotus Wei flower essences are energetic infusions of flowers that work with the body’s meridian system to enhance clarity, peace and happiness while the pure plant oils provide for a luscious aromatic experience. I couldn’t wait to indulge and soak up all the claimed benefits of ‘Natural Lift Facial Massage….’

Just like our beauty products we don’t want our fashion to look ‘eco’. But we do want to support fair-trade, use of organic fabrics and designers trying to make a difference. So now that London Fashion Week has passed and before you start your summer shopping checkout a few of the designers below - we think they are worth a look.
Honest by. - Launched in January 2012 this concept is one we are very excited about. Honest by is the first company in the world to share the full cost breakdown of its products. The concept behind Honest by offers other designers a public platform to share their own design processes; utilizing the research Honest by has already conducted on organic fabrics and suppliers. Every part of the collaboration process is transparent including the store mark up calculations. In communicating all information regarding a garments production process; Honest by wants to shed light on the questions: where is it made and by whom. The first collection is by Bruno Pieters with a new yet to be announced designer range launching in April. Each item has a useful key indicating whether the garment is organic, vegan, skin-friendly, recycled or made in Europe. We love!

Laura Jane Sessions (make-up artist, blogger, fan of organic make-up) tried out one of our favourite products the W3LL People Realist X Matte Powder. Used as a finishing powder this little jar of joy sets make-up and reduces shine. We know and love this product but did it make it to Laura’s professional kit?
‘Micro fine, it has an incredibly velvety texture that goes on equally well whether applied with a brush or cotton wool ball. Unlike many loose powders, Realist is really lightweight and doesn’t clump or sit heavily on the skin, making it an ideal choice, especially when placing powder half moons under the eyes to catch any fallout from shadow.’ Read more to find out.

We started February by teaming up with Mothers Meeting for a fun-filled morning of treats, nutritional information and tips for make-up on-the-go from Lou Dartford.
Mothers Meeting was started by Jenny, who quickly realised as a new mum that she didn’t want to just sit around chatting about ‘nappies and nipple cream’. She created Mothers Meeting as a place, online and offline, for creative Mums to get together and chat about what’s going on with parenting and non-parenting alike. From gallery visits to lunch at Shoreditch house these Mama’s know how to have a good time.
To keep up to date with what’s on or get invites to the next meeting join Mothers Meeting here or find them on twitter @mothersmeetings. Check out the blogs and twitters from some of the Mums that visited us.

Thanks to Nude Skincare and Green & Spring for supplying amazing products for the Mums.
