Cosmic Clutchette Purse - Cosmic Bobbins

First to recommend

Description

The photos don't do these amazing purses justice. I saw them at a boutique and met the owner. The first thing I thought of is all my friends on 'This Next' as you are the hippest bunch of shoppers and gift finders on the planet.

All Cosmic Bobbins creations are organically handcrafted using previously read magazines, which utilizing a fair trade ideology that help create job opportunities and alleviate poverty. The are beautiful, distinctive, and extremely well made.

Although they are expensive, I saw them literally fly off the shelves at a holiday shopping event I was attending. In today's economy, that is nothing short of amazing and a testimony to the owner's eye for design and quality. It also says a great deal about her passion for the environment and doing 'what's right.' She walks the talk. (via Cosmic Bobbins)

Clean, clean, clean! That is how you will feel and smell after a wash with this all natural olive oil and salt based soft soap. Gentle enough for your face and entire body. Use a loofah or special hammam mitt to gently exfoliate your body. Rinse and then use a rhassoul clay mask, also by Kaeline, to tighten and smooth your skin. Finish with L'Huile de Beaute 100% organic argan oil and your skin will look so fabulous you won't want to put on clothes. Now that's wild beauty at its best!! (via Xandra Renouvelle)
