I love to meet other beauty junkies! When we meet, we immediately know…”You have the beauty gene!” Just say the word “mascara” or “moisturizer”and we’ll listen and chat for hours. What I truly love about our “addiction” is the diversity amongst my junkie sisters. Some love the dermatologist and in-office products. Some love their nurse practitioner and the magic that happens behind closed doors. I’m a big fan of this with my BFF Lynn Bartels from Skin Spirit in Palo Alto, California!Others are consumed about finding the right concealer, the best lip balm … it goes on and on. Recently I had the pleasure of meeting a charming, gorgeous, kindred spirit who has developed an amazing green philosophy to promote health, well being, and gorgeousness, while striving to keep the planet healthy! Ladies, meet the ecofabulous Zem Joaquin!Eco expert Zem founded Ecofabulous.com because of her own personal journey. Both of her children were battling asthma so she began to suspect that the products she was using in her home were toxic and making their asthma worse. As with most pioneers, she lost trust in the status quo and made the conscious decision to turn toward an eco lifestyle.Her inspiration came from mentor William McDonough’s Cradle to Cradle philosophy. Now Zem advises big green organizations including Global Green, Healthy Child, Healthy World and Teens for Safe Cosmetics. Zem is totally committed to keeping ecofabulous consistent with the high sustainability standards of these organizations! You go Zem!Read Chic and Pretty: The Two Most Wearable Spring TrendsSo knowing my girls the way I do, you might be saying, “I’m interested but where do I start?”Zem makes it easy with her web site! She said to me “Harvey, Ecofabulous is like your trusted friend, personal shopper, and inside source for living the well lived eco-life.”The site’s “IT”guide gives the 411 for environmentally conscious beauty, fashion, home, kids, lifestyle products and experiences. I love one-stop shopping and the thought of having a personal shopper! It doesn’t get better than that!It seemed like we talked for hours about favorite products. This woman really knows her stuff.
