Hippie done Right

As a child of true blue hippies-who rode around the world on a BMW roadster for almost twenty years I can tell you that 1. they didn't call themselves hippies and 2. they snicker at all things labeled "hippie" past and present. Some consider the word to be a term of endearment others consider it to be a fashion sense and frame of mind. Either way I feel like the word has gotten a bit out of hand. There are several publications and designers doing hippie right. Let's give um' a holla.

Feast for your eyes. Modern Hippie Magazine.  Doing some lovely things for moms, women, men and all the alike. With colorful articles ranging from fashion to insanely amazing recipes from Raw Food Goddess and author, Natalia KW!
                                                                       Hippie done right.

Now let's talk little ones. Green, non-toxic toys. Gone are the days of twigs and branches (although they make equally rad imagination inspiring toys.) as 'low impact' green play options. Thanks skilled craftsmen and women and dreaming big amazing and safe options are now available to you and your mini greenies.

Made by hand in Colorado with sustainable cherry wood this teether set by ROCK LOVE PEACE baby   is oh so chic. Baby chic. Finished with organic beeswax these toys will last a lifetime.


Imaginative Play meets upcycled oxford shirts and handmade love and whimsy. All of Hazel Village's forest friends are slow sewn,by hand and with an enormous amount of amore'. Each forrest friend has a story. Mortimer Mouse made of organic cotton jersey and oxford will without a doubt last a lifetime and add a little something to anywhere he resides.
 
Shirt off your back-well, not really....Fashion with a passion is what I'd use to describe the girls over at ecovogue365.com from bangin' tees to a master mommy genius article of sustainable yumminess called The Butterfli that can be worn 20 different ways and beyond-it's also SO breastfeeding friendly-BONUS!

Last but not least, your bangin' mommy bod.... With all the choices in organic bath goodness these days what to pick? Where to go? It took me years, no joke, to find twig & leaf botnaicals. Now, now bare with me.... dramatic, I know. The gorgeous thing about twig & leaf first and foremost is their passion for what they do. Secondly the brilliant recycled glass packaging. NO more PLASTIC. Lastly, handmade allows you to not only customize your goods but have a one on one ability to get to know your creatour.
I remember photographing all of these botanical beauties a few months back. The last photos I had to take for The Magic Cocoon's shop and the funnest yet. These bottles are so gorgeous they're on display at all times.

Because after a long day-our feet hurt, or after a long run-they're thirsty! Smells oh so lovely this this magical little bottle is a must have for your hippie feet!

Lovely Lavender Soak. Need I say more? In the bath or a basin for, again your toes. (I seem to have a foot obsession of some sorts.) Visit twig & leaf to discover your inner botanical goddess. Magical Earth Style.

More to come....be well!
