Welcome Salon Verve in Traverse City, MI to the Eve Organics Family!

The newest retailer of Eve Organics products is Salon Verve.  Salon Verve is an organic salon across from Grand Traverse Bay (a beautiful view!) in Traverse City, Michigan.

You can visit Salon Verve at 507 Bay Street.  Drop and and say hi.

I've copied a little off of their website so that you can get a little glimpse at what they are doing besides cutting hair. 

Because we are organic, taking the extra steps to be "green" is very important to us.  We use nothing but eco-friendly cleaning products in our salon, we use Bay Area Recycling for Charities to recycle everything possible, all plastic,metals (even foil), we have energy saving appliances and lightbulbs, we make sure all of our product lines come from companies who have green business practices and promote sustainable agriculture, all of our tools (hair brushes, pumice stones, etc) are made of recycled or sustainable materials.  We even re-use all of our hair clippings!  We send hair clippings to a non-profit organization in California called Matter of Trust who turn the clippings into hair mats used to clean up oil spills.  Here is a video on youtube that shows how they use our hair clippings to clean up oil spills.

Here is a video that shows how they compost the oily, nasty hair mats into harmless fertilizer instead of sending them to a landfill.

Matter of Trust is an amazing organization.  Please enjoy the videos and be impressed!

Health Freedom Expo - Schaumburg, IL

OK, two shows in a matter of two months!  We're on a roll!  This weekend we attended the Health Freedom Expo in Schaumburg, IL, a suburb of Chicago.  We had a little more time to get out and see the other exhibitors at this show.  Attendance was about 7,000 over two days, but what great contacts we made!

One of our newest partnerships is with Studio Within Salon and Spa, located at 3000 North Sheffield, a few minutes north of downtown Chicago.  In the next few months, Studio Within is completely revamping its salon and spa from the inside-out and will re-bloom as a "green spa".  They will begin remodeling by repainting with water based, eco-friendly paint, and adding green materials wherever possible.  The remodeling doesn't end with the structure.  All services are being revamped also, such as hair color is now done with ammonia-free hair color, hair trimmings are donated to produce absorbent pillows for oil-spill cleanup and, of course, the makeup line is free of parabens, bismuth oxychloride and fillers ~ Eve Organics!

Two of the products at this show were of particular interest to me.  I had been looking for the following:

• A good deodorant that didn't have too strong of an inherent odor, but still worked at keeping perspiration odor at bay, and
  
  What I found:  Natural Plantation Purslane Deodorant.  This deodorant doesn't really smell too much when applied; whatever scent is there is gone pretty quick.  The great part about it is that it has no dangerous ingredients and it works!  Obviously, since there is no anti-perspirant, it doesn't stop the sweat, but the sweat doesn't smell.
  
  My husband has been getting bad rashes/raised reactions from regular anti-perspirant deodorants and, after using this only for a few days, he already sees a difference.  This is a keeper!
  
• A daily vitamin/mineral with as much nutrition as possible packed into one serving.  (I am terrible at remembering to take vitamins/pills throughout the day.)
  
  What I found:  Heartland Naturals Omega Greens.  Oh my!  These greens mix with water.  They are a whole food (all ingredients coming from organic fruits and vegetables.  The greens have a berry flavor and include Omega 3s, are high in Vitamin C and are rated very high in ORAC value.  They even have single serving packets to throw in your purse and will send out sample packets to give them a try.  Another winner!
