Indie Beauty Best Sellers
Last week I attended the Indie Beauty Expo at the Metropolitan Pavilion in NYC in hopes to find some real gems. After walking around meeting founders and testing products for over two hours, I narrowed down my favorite brands and got the scoop on their top sellers. The overall trend at the expo was "farm to face" and it will be interesting to see which brands become mainstream favorites. Here are my favorite five indie beauty buys to put on your radar.
Food Label Claims Exposed
I've never been more conscious about what I put into my body and find food labels not only to be confusing, but also misleading. The more I learn in nutrition school, the more careful I become. As a gluten-free, vegan (yes, my meat-loving, husband who lives for Sunday pasta wants to kill me), I've found plenty of nutritious meal options, but it's not always easy. Whether you're like me or just like to buy "organic," I dissected some common food labels so you're really in the know and don't buy into the marketing fluff.
