Profile
- Stephanie is a freelance writer and graphic designer living in the eco-mecca of the South – Asheville, North Carolina. Surrounded by stunning natural scenery and a thriving arts culture, she finds inspiration in hiking, gardening, painting, strolling downtown and most of all, spreading a blanket out in the grass to read or write.
She refers to her various passions as ‘an obsession with all things beautiful’, which influences her drive to preserve the natural world for future generations. She will proudly tell of narrowing her entire house-and-body-cleaning arsenal down to a gallon-size bottle of castile soap and a tub of baking soda, but admits that she’s still got a long way to go to live as earth-friendly as she’d like.
Stephanie is really into herbal medicine, vegetarian cooking and finding ways to live a simpler life. She and her husband, Jason, spend a lot of time lounging around in the sun daydreaming about European travel and coming up with rustic Italian menus and wine pairings.

Get a Fresh, Natural Look for Spring with Just 4 Cosmetics
I like to try out new makeup a lot, so I must admit my cosmetic bag is packed full of stuff. Ideally, though, I’d love to pare down and in reality I only use about 4 different beauty products on a daily basis. The fewer cosmetics you use, the less packaging you’re throwing away (or [...]

Rock That Thrift Store Wardrobe!
When it comes to clothes, there’s just nothing greener than buying secondhand. Unless, of course, you’ve scored organic, handmade clothing secondhand (that would be amazing, wouldn’t it?). When you don’t have the big budget to score an eco-fabulous wardrobe, thrift stores and consignment shops are the place to go to find vintage and even barely-worn [...]
Honoré des Prés, Organic Fragrances Designed by Olivia Giacobetti
When it comes to perfume, most eco-centric women tend to shy away from conventional choices and gravitate toward pure perfume oils instead. Considering that so many fragrances contain phthalates, petrochemicals and animal ingredients, it’s easy to see why. We don’t want to breathe these substances in and apply them to our skin.
Stores aren’t exactly brimming [...]

Top 5 Fave Natural Beauty Products for Winter
During the winter, I use more products than at any other time of year out of pure necessity. In order to avoid dry, scaly skin and lips, I do a lot of scrubbing and moisturizing. This winter, I became even more of a purist (or what some may call a control freak) than ever in [...]
