I love meeting new people and brands in the natural community – my recent interaction with Jen from Purely Posh was no different. She introduced me to some new brands that she’s carrying in her lovely online shop Purely Posh. She carries such brands including Acure, Zoe Organics & Honey Bee Gardens (who makes one of my favourite natural lipsticks). This time I was able to give Emani Mineral Cosmetics a whirl. I (and my mom) liked what I/we saw. {Read More}

Beyond that, the natural ingredients are of extremely high quality, unlike many of {Read More}
