Heather Heron offers striking purses and totes that are made out of organic hemp (although the line does include leather…) and handcrafted by artisans right here in Los Angeles. My favorite from the Fall 2008 collection is the Aspen, which comes in dark chocolate with black piping and details. The refined, muted look is perfect [...]

Other than the fact that I love the name of this line (kind of obnoxious/kind of hilarious/VERY L.A.), Rich Hippie offers organic perfumes that are positively orGLAMic. Rich Hippie perfume is made using traditional methods. The perfumes are made by mixing plant and flower extracts that are either organic or wildcrafted with wine alcohol that [...]

One of my favorite design stores offers several eco-friendly products that I love. One of these are the set of three rubber tubs. They are made of discarded tires and are hand cut and hand sewn into vessels that can be used indoors or out as planters, carrying containers, recycling bins or space for gardening [...]

I have to admit that the reason I picked this particular item is because the accompanying picture is absolutely adorable! Skoon has so many wonderful organic items for babies, ranging from onsies to plush toys to cotton diapers, it was a hard choice. The orGLAMic Round Kimono in Rose, pictured above, is 100% Egyptian organic [...]

These orGLAMic trinkets are the perfect mini-gift for the geek in your life. The artist, Nicola Harper, literally digs through landfills to source the materials for her unique products. The keyboard magnet set, pictured above, is made from old cash register keys, broken keyboards, and telephones, and comes in a reusable tin. At only $11.95 [...]

While traveling it is imperative to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Not only does that mean guzzling water (while refilling the same container throughout the entire trip of course!) but it also means moisturizing constantly. I have highlighted Weleda products on orGLAMic before, but feel compelled to do so again because this cream actually got me through [...]

The carry-on bag conundrum: when traveling you need to be able to stuff everything from the 4 books you won’t read to 9 energy bars you won’t eat, but you still don’t want to look like a bag-lady. Well Matt and Nat has come to the rescue with beautiful, orGLAMic purses that are roomy enough [...]

These 100% bamboo fiber towels are unbleached, undyed and unscented and have all the properties of bamboo that I have come to love: great absorbency, anti-bacterial/microbial, [...]
