holeco™organic minerals featured at the D & A Show in LA at the GREEN Market Show

So, you have a vision of this total chemical free organic mineral powder & you just cannot get your vendors to make. Everyone claims they have "natural minerals" and riding on consumers lack of knowledge of chemical, yet they put bismyth oxychloride, dimethicone, nano size or even titanium dioxide in their formula. How do you make the consumer aware to become savvy?

I said to myself "I will create it & I will educate the public on a safer product" and so I did. From initial thought to actual production, it has taken me over a year and it was a privilege to make it to the D & A GREEN Market show in LA this past weekend to launch my product. Thanks to a very special lady name Linda who shared the same passion of pure cosmetics, holeco ™ organic minerals became a reality.
Out of my own frustrations of needing a mineral powder to use for the post laser treatments I perform, I finally created holeco™ organic minerals, made out of only MICA, ORGANIC ARROROOT, IRON OXIDE & ZINC OXIDE. That's right. Only 4 ingredients and NO chemicals what so ever.

I called them "one and only" to highlight their true essence of being the purest all natural minerals that are handcrafted in the US with the highest quality ingredients that has full sun protection and anti-microbial properties.

"holeco™ organic minerals" give an amazing healthy glow that feels extremely silky. This incredible loose mineral powder is vegan and is conveniently located inside a retractable dispensing brush made of cruelty free goat hair. The organic mineral foundation helps absorb excess oil while healing skin by being hypo-allergenic, weightless and water resistant.

holeco™ organic minerals" come in 6 different shades (1-6) that are based on Fitzpatrick classification for sun-reactive skin types & can be used for both foundation and bronzing blush (shades 3,4,5 & 6).

GREEN HIGHLIGHTS:
hand crafted in the USA; no animal testing; cruelty free goat hair; vegan loose powder; packaging is a brush holder pouch made out of eQo hemp fabric; clear plastic is made out of PETA and can be recycled; dispensing brush is washable, reusable and refillable; only four ingredients used; bamboo retail display; vegetable ink used on all printing FSC certified paper for marketing material

Two quick observations: Going green is not limited to just detoxing the environment and don’t let the name fool you. Derma Hair Care is not limited to just hair. Everything in this unassuming spa is completely holistic and organic.From the cotton balls used to take off your makeup to the organic chocolate (yes!) spray tan, whatever is used is both good for you and the environment. In fact, this is the 1st ORGANIC Medi Spa in the US that hasbecome recognized by the co-op America as a socially responsible green company. AND they are pregnant mom safe!
The spa’s director Honi (pronounced Honey) Motarefi is downright passionate about finding the best combination of safety and value. “The first thing I recommend to anyone walking into the spa is that they use a shower filter. Not only does it remove impurities, such as chlorine, in our water, but it softens the skin and the hair.” Since we’re on the subject of hair: “Hair is our enemy,” says Honi. She should know. She is highly trained in both electrolysis and laser hair removal. In fact, she is well known as a dark skin hair removal (a specialty in itself). Oh, and did I tell you, she is only one of two laser specialists in the U.S who will laser treat eyebrow hair…….

The team allowed me to experience a smattering of some of their extensive menu. First, Honi showed me her laser hair removal skills. Painless. Next, Rachel Kaufman, one of the center’s specialists did an ion foot detox. Disgusting what comes off your body. Next I was given a sanitary (disposable) foot wax treatment (which uses no electricity) while Rachel gave me the Detox Heaven—hand and feet reflexology treatment, along with some Reiki healing. The pain I had in my knee left, along with any stress that I was feeling. Rachel is very talented.

All the while, I was given various flavors of green tea, ionized water, and Acai juice. “Our focus,” says Honi, “is to do medical aesthetics from the inside. Health is a gift.” There are so many facets of this place that the three hours I spent there felt like I had been away for a relaxing weekend. Recommendthat you check out their website. There are some unbelievable resources that will make your head spin. One in particular was a link to http://www.cosmeticdatabase.com/ which allows you to search for a cosmetic product, or ingredient. Eye opening.

Cellulite Reduction by TriActive Laser at Derma Hair Care :)

It's been over a year that I have been obsessing to get the TRIACTIVE LaserDermology in my hands. What a pleasure to finally have this awesome equipment in my spa to finally treat Cellulite the right way. That's right. To get it off and keep it off.

Education is the key in helping get rid of cellulite. Detoxification, hydration and balanced nutrition is the right combo in keeping cellulite in check and that is the basis of our protocol.

Peace, Love & Happiness

Medical Spa using alkaline/ionized water to promote holistic beauty

We do anything for our LOOKS, to look more youthful, like the movie stars, without considering our impact on our health as well as environement.

Why is there such a disconnect between health and beauty??? Why is our environement getting more attention and the light bulb regarding the importance of our health is still not turned on fully.

The grandfather of modern medicine, Hippocrates, 2500 years ago said "LET FOOD BE YOUR MEDICINE". You really want to achieve beauty, start drinking negative ionized water. Get your blood oxygenated to help detox the compounds in your organs that are hurting your health. You can spend as little as $21.95 or as much as $800 to drink oxygenated water that helps with your digestion of food, your immune system, beautiful skin and so much more.... Check out: http://dermahaircare.com/ec550.html and http://dermahaircare.com/istick.html and http://dermahaircare.com/alkaline_ibottle.html

Be good to your body.

Ego VS LOVE

That's what it comes down to when one wants to recognize
what business is truly GREEN?

If there is "Ego" in the intent, then it isn't GREEN. If the business is built on "LOVE", then it is totally GREEN, which energizes, heals, connects, cares, evolves and provides a positive energy. If one operates
from the perspective of "ego", then the energy is blocked and all
decision is made based on the wrong inent, thus healing cannot occur.

Thus support GREEN and discover the possibilities.

Pecha Kucha Night April 3rd at Loft 11 in DC

*GOING GREEN*

We are happy to announce Volume 4 of Capitol Pecha Kucha Night in Washington, DC on Thursday, April 3, 2008.

Pecha Kucha Night, devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham (Klein Dytham architecture in Tokyo), was conceived in 2003 as a place for designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. But as we all know, give a mike to a designer (especially an architect) and you'll be trapped for hours. The key to Pecha Kucha Night is its patented system for avoiding this fate. Each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds each - giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show.

Pecha Kucha (which is Japanese for the sound of conversation) has tapped into a demand for a forum in which creative work can be easily and informally shown. This is a demand that seems to be global - as Pecha Kucha Night, without any pushing, has spread virally to over 100 cities across the world. Capitol Pecha Kucha Night, Vol. 4, “GOING GREEN,” is sponsored by Lofts 11 (http://www.loftsll.com/ and Taurus Development Group http://www.taurusdev.com/) Location: At the Penthouse of Lofts 11, 1125 11th St., NWTime: The presentations will commence at 7:00 pm. Featuring: Norman Smith, Shinji Turner-Yamamoto, Samson Cheng, Thomas Nassif, Honi Borden, Paul Contino and Greg McLellan with music by DJ DivineMasterNick from Somaholiday. RSVP required: rsvp@taurusdev.com
