TALES FROM THE FRONT ROW<br />

Years ago, my Mom sent<br />

me a coloring-in book.<br />

I was twenty-seven. A<br />

little perplexed, I asked<br />

her why. “It’s good for stress,” she<br />

explained. Not one to doubt her<br />

wise counsel — particularly when<br />

it entailed me doing nothing but<br />

coloring-in —I gave it a try. It turns<br />

out that doing something as trivial<br />

as coloring-in has a remarkable<br />

effect on the brain.<br />

Today, there is a whole<br />

section dedicated to adult coloringin<br />

books — from the creative<br />

to the crude. Why? Because<br />

we are sending ourselves into<br />

an early grave worrying about<br />

inconsequential things that don’t<br />

matter. We have stopped making<br />

time to simply be, filling up our<br />

free time instead with endless<br />

status updates and overwhelming<br />

to-do lists. I mean, when is the last<br />

time you laughed out loud? Danced<br />

for no good reason? Let your mind<br />

wander freely?<br />

“Free, imaginative play is<br />

crucial for normal social, emotional<br />

and cognitive development,” says<br />

Melinda Wenner in Scientific<br />

America magazine. “It makes us<br />

better adjusted, smarter and less<br />

stressed.”<br />

So in this, our Play<br />

issue, we explore what it’s like to<br />

run wild in today’s world — from<br />

indulging our inner child with the<br />

latest Star Wars inspired collection<br />

from Irregular Choice, to taking<br />

the leap and changing careers like<br />

dancer-turned-photographer Kane<br />

Bonke.<br />

“Play” means something<br />

different for each one of us and<br />

can lead to things one would never<br />

expect. For handbag designer<br />

Dominika Swaicka, it was the act<br />

of creating collages from holiday<br />

snaps that led to the launch of her<br />

eponymous line of amazing bags.<br />

For ready-to-wear designer Kristi<br />

Vosbeck, it was playing in her<br />

family’s clothing store that inspired<br />

her to create her own label in<br />

New York City. Whatever it is that<br />

makes you happy, I say indulge it.<br />

Carve out time to do something<br />

than is simply fun to do.<br />

When you look back<br />

on your life, it’s not the amount<br />

of Instagram followers you have,<br />

the number of cat videos you’ve<br />

watched or the mint condition of<br />

your very expensive designer sofa<br />

that matters. It’s that moment you<br />

laughed so hard jello came out<br />

your nose while playing Travel<br />

Guess Who that you’ll remember<br />

— it happened to my sister, it was<br />

hilarious.<br />

Until next time, may your<br />

heels be as high as your standards,<br />

THE<br />

JUGGLER<br />

READY-TO-WEAR DESIGNER KRISTI<br />

VOSBECK’S BALANCING ACT.<br />

Growing up in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, ready-towear<br />

designer Kristi Vosbeck honed her skills<br />

working at the family business – The Palace<br />

Shoe and Clothing Store. “I worked there over<br />

the summers and holidays and loved creating new looks<br />

and helping customers find what they were looking for,”<br />

explains Vosbeck. “I think these experiences, along with my<br />

love for fashion, are what propelled me to apply to Parsons<br />

School of Design in NYC. Once I started school, I became<br />

involved in fashion in a more professional way, from<br />

interning to starting my own company.”<br />

Now ensconced in the heart of Manhattan’s<br />

Fashion District, Vosbeck’s eponymous line of occasion<br />

wear continues to attract a loyal clientele looking for<br />

modern designs with a timeless feel. “Classic, sophisticated<br />

and elegant,” says Vosbeck of her creations, all of which are<br />

conceived and made in New York City.<br />

“Many details in<br />

the collection are<br />

very specific and it’s<br />

“LIFE IS FULL OF UPS<br />

AND DOWNS, IT’S<br />

ABOUT FINDING<br />

THE BEAUTY IN ALL<br />

OF IT.”<br />

important to be able<br />

to see first-hand how<br />

everything is being<br />

made,” says Vosbeck<br />

of her decision<br />

to maintain local<br />

production. “I love<br />

that everything you<br />

need to put together<br />

a great collection is at<br />

your fingertips here in<br />

the Garment District.<br />

From fabric vendors,<br />

pattern makers and<br />

sample makers, to any kind of zipper or button you can<br />

imagine. You can find it all within the span of a few blocks<br />

of the garment district.”<br />

Designing, launching and maintaining a brand in the<br />

cut-throat New York fashion scene can be a daunting task but<br />

it’s one that Vosbeck takes in her stride. “I think anyone who is<br />

creative knows that when your art becomes your work it can be<br />

challenging. You have to be able to be free to do designs but also<br />

put on a business hat and know your customer while staying<br />

true to your aesthetic. Being a fashion designer has taught me<br />

that sometimes what you think will happen doesn’t, and things<br />

you never imagined, do. Life is full of ups and downs, it’s about<br />

finding the beauty in all of it, being grateful for every day you<br />

get the opportunity to contribute and give back.”<br />

For Vosbeck, the road to fashion fame has been paved<br />

with triumphs and challenges. Her latest accomplishment, her<br />

first child Kira — and the demands of balancing motherhood<br />

with design deadlines. “I always wanted to be a Mother,” she<br />

says. “But I didn’t want to have to give up my career to do it. My<br />

family and husband have been so supportive and helped make<br />

this last fashion week possible. The show, as they say, must go<br />

on!” Available at select boutiques and online at KristiVosbeck.<br />

com, New Yorkers will have a chance to get up-close and<br />

personal at Vosbeck’s Holiday Pop Up Shop <strong>November</strong> 21st 270<br />

W 38th Street from 1pm-5pm. Check the site for more details.<br />

ANIMAL<br />

ATTRACTION<br />

HANDBAG DESIGNER<br />

DOMINIKA SWIACKA<br />

IS AHEAD OF THE PACK.<br />

It all began several years<br />

ago, quite unexpectedly.<br />

“I was still working full<br />

time as a production<br />

manager for a British women’s<br />

wear brand,” explains designer<br />

Dominika Swiacka. “In my spare<br />

time, I started creating collages<br />

from images that I’d taken on<br />

holidays. I thought it would look<br />

great on a clutch, and that’s how<br />

it all started. From my initial<br />

experiments with the collages<br />

grew my animal-inspired, bold<br />

designs which have now become<br />

my trademark feature.”<br />

Originally from<br />

Poland, Swiacka has been based<br />

in London for over eleven<br />

years. It’s something she feels is<br />

reflected in her designs. “I have<br />

been exposed to many different<br />

influences [living in London]<br />

including East London’s diverse<br />

cultural scenes which have led me<br />

to incorporate animal-inspired<br />

prints in a non-standard way, much<br />

like the mix and match attitude that<br />

seems to have been home-grown<br />

here in London.”<br />

Production, however,<br />

is based in her home country of<br />

Poland. She flies frequently to meet<br />

with her Production and Manager<br />

and Head of Quality Control to<br />

assist in every stage of production.<br />

“Brand reputation is extremely<br />

significant to me,” says Swiacka.<br />

“It’s the only commodity that is<br />

truly priceless.”<br />

Inspired by the world<br />

around her, Swiacka utilizes the<br />

latest innovations in technology<br />

to print her designs directly onto<br />

leather with the aim of delivering<br />

that wow factor we’re all looking<br />

for. Currently working on two new<br />

collections, it’s the creative process<br />

that drives her on to deliver designs<br />

that empower; accessories that<br />

confidently round off the perfect<br />

outfit. DominikaSwiacka.com —<br />

CROSSING<br />

PATHS<br />

WHEN GREAT MINDS COLLIDE: THE<br />

EVOLUTION OF NODE FOOTWEAR.<br />

A node is a point where two lines intersect. For footwear<br />

industry veterans, Joshua Cohen and Lee Cousins, it was the<br />

perfect way to describe their creative collaboration. Dedicated<br />

to craftsmanship and traditional shoe manufacturing, NODE<br />

footwear is an intersection of “ideas, design and culture.”<br />

The result is a juxtaposition of modern concepts, and classic,<br />

timeless footwear. Node-Studio.com<br />

What attracted you to the footwear industry?<br />

Joshua: As a child I always liked building things, Lego, model Kits...<br />

Essentially shoe making at its core is engineering. My father was a<br />

successful shoe line-builder in the U.S.A. for many years, so when he<br />

started his own business in Asia, he asked me to join him. It’s a tough<br />

business but addictive, that’s the only way to explain it.<br />

Lee: I have always loved art, even as a child, and to me, the design of<br />

shoes is an extension of this; a good shoe is always a work of art. My<br />

father, grandfather and great grandfather were all in the shoe industry,<br />

and so it was almost inevitable that I should follow in their footsteps.<br />

The design of shoes has been, and remains, an unending passion for me.<br />

What do you know now, that you wish you knew then?<br />

Joshua: Lee can better answer this since I have only been in the business<br />

for ten years but in those years I have learned that its all about the<br />

details!<br />

Lee: I have been in the industry for over forty years, and in that time I<br />

have seen vast changes in the production of shoes, both good and bad.<br />

I wish I could have foreseen that the mass production of cheaper shoes,<br />

which has flooded all markets, would lead to the loss of individuality.<br />

I am not decrying cheaper shoes, as this has meant that good design<br />

has become more and more affordable, but for me, this is why NODE<br />

is so special to us, as it is keeping the craftsmanship of footwear alive<br />

and creating a product that is based on the use of beautiful leathers,<br />

traditional last making and quality.<br />

Do you think your geographic location has an impact on your<br />

design aesthetic?<br />

Joshua: I live in China and Hong Kong and the energy there is crazy<br />

amazing. Its growth is exploding, and the population is very open to new<br />

ideas contrary to what people may think. All the major brands are doing<br />

well here, but there is large segment of customer looking for something<br />

different and unique. Japanese and Korean brands are interesting here,<br />

but more amazing are the local Chinese design talent who have studied<br />

abroad and now returned to start their own labels. That’s really exciting<br />

to watch here. We are collaborating with some of them. For example,<br />

our shoes will be at the Shanghai Fashion week runway show for<br />

VEGA she is really a designer to watch.<br />

Lee: I was born and still live in Northamptonshire, which is the<br />

heart of the U.K. shoe industry, making traditional shoes, and this<br />

definitely influences my design process. I am also a visiting lecturer<br />

at Northampton University and it gives me great pride to know that<br />

in my own way, I am helping to keep this tradition alive by passing<br />

on my skills to the next generation of shoe designers.<br />

What has been the brand’s crowning achievement to date?<br />

Joshua: For me, it’s been raising the bar on quality and delivering<br />

a product that stands on par with high-end European brands. We<br />

sacrifice nothing, every detail of the shoe is of the highest quality.<br />

As of today, we stand by the product, and people have noticed.<br />

Lee: I believe in this product and between Joshua and myself, we<br />

have created a brand that combines our personal inspiration with<br />

high quality. From the initial concept to the finished product, has<br />

been an amazing process.<br />

What’s the plan for NODE moving forward?<br />

Joshua: To maintain quality, that to us this is the key. For the<br />

customer, NODE is an amazing product because of our expertise,<br />

attention to detail and quality of the materials. We know how some<br />

brands cheat, but we are never going down that road. We are a small<br />

unit at the moment but we plan to open showrooms in Hong Kong<br />

or Shanghai in the near future. We are already showing in Felicities<br />

showroom that has been great for getting exposure in U.K. and<br />

beyond. We are very excited about the future because we feel we<br />

have a formula, a design process and great people supporting this<br />

effort.<br />

Lee: As Joshua said, I just want to continue to create shoes<br />

that customers will aspire to wear and for NODE to become an<br />

established brand.<br />

HAT<br />

ATTACK<br />

WE CATCH UP WITH BUNDLE MACLAREN,<br />

LONDON’S HOTTEST YOUNG MILLINER.<br />

How did you get involved in millinery? I’ve always<br />

loved hats but I felt that there was a real gap in the<br />

market for an interesting, contemporary and bold<br />

designer who could make hats for more affordable<br />

prices, so I did a year’s apprenticeship with Gina Foster<br />

and then completed the BTEC in traditional millinery<br />

at the Kensington & Chelsea College. The mixture<br />

of the two was great as got to see how a millinery<br />

business runs, as well as being able to learn traditional<br />

millinery techniques on the side.<br />

What do you love about designing headwear<br />

compared to other areas of design? Hats are great<br />

fun. They don’t take themselves too seriously and<br />

it’s always for a special and exciting occasion when<br />

someone comes to you to have a hat made, so you get<br />

to build up amazing and very personal relationships<br />

with your clients.<br />

What three elements do you feel are needed to<br />

create an amazing headpiece? Colour, confidence<br />

and wit.<br />

How do you think your culture heritage<br />

contributes to your design aesthetic? Hats are<br />

such a huge part of our British heritage. No one does<br />

pomp and circumstance like the Brits and we love<br />

any opportunity to bring out our finery and play at<br />

dressing up! I love the traditions and etiquette that sit<br />

alongside wearing hats ie. what type of hat to wear to<br />

what occasion. What’s appropriate if you’re mother<br />

of the bride or what’s expected if you’re attending the<br />

Queen’s Garden Party at Buckingham Palace.<br />

What materials do you most like to work with? I<br />

love working with felt. It’s wonderfully versatile and<br />

durable so you can be really experimental with it. We<br />

also use a lot of feathers in our designs which are such<br />

a clever and natural material with timeless elegance,<br />

colour and beauty. There are no ends to what you can<br />

do with the humble feather!<br />

What has been your crowning achievement thus<br />

far? I’m just thrilled to have started a millinery<br />

design business from scratch in my Battersea kitchen<br />

which has flourished five years later into a successful,<br />

busy and booming<br />

business. It’s a<br />

wonderful way to<br />

spend your day and<br />

earn a living and I<br />

feel very lucky.<br />

“NO ONE DOES<br />

POMP AND<br />

CIRCUMSTANCE<br />

LIKE THE BRITS”<br />

What does the<br />

future hold for<br />

the brand? We<br />

produced our first<br />

trilby collection this<br />

year along with a<br />

bridal collection and both have been a huge success so<br />

we will continue to grow those. Our trilbies are going<br />

to be stocked in Anthropologie this autumn/winter<br />

which is very exciting. And we’re also in the creative<br />

phase of a very exciting new collection called Dare to<br />

Dream which is going to showcase some really special<br />

designs. So watch this space! BundleMaclaren.co.uk<br />

WE SALUTE THE NEWEST CULINARY ADVENTURE<br />

UNDER ACCLAIMED CHEF LUCIANO SAUTTO.<br />

Inspired by the traditional cuisine of Southern Italy, Salute<br />

Trattoria Italiana is located at the upscale Red Rock Resort and<br />

Casino, right off the Las Vegas Strip. It features an intimate<br />

dining room and patio with a wide array of authentic dishes with<br />

a contemporary twist. From Whole Roasted and Salted Branzino to<br />

Table-Prepared Bucantini Vodka, this is a dining experience not to be<br />

missed.<br />

At the heart of it all is Executive Chef Luciano Sautto. His<br />

philosophy is simple: use quality ingredients, pour your heart into<br />

a dish and the rest will fall into place. It’s a belief that has seen him<br />

work his way up from being a pizzaiola in Naples to an international<br />

Executive Chef. Among his house specialties is a housemade Truffle<br />

Tagliatelle with Shaved Black Truffles and Truffle Cream. It’s Las<br />

Vegas decadence with the Soul of Southern Italy. SaluteVegas.com —<br />

BEAUTIFUL<br />

CHAOS<br />

THE JOY OF STARTING OVER WITH DANCER-<br />

TURNED-PHOTOGRAPHER KANE BONKE.<br />

What made you make the leap into photography? After<br />

spending my life in the entertainment industry, there really was no<br />

question that I would continue in a creative field once those days<br />

were up. I took some time out after my last contract and thought<br />

heavily about what made me want to get up in the morning.<br />

Obviously being creative was a big point but I have always loved<br />

dissecting photographs and creating my own stories. Plus, I have<br />

always loved creating beautiful shapes as a dancer, so I decided to<br />

put them all together and pick up a camera.<br />

Where did you study? I’m studying now! I am a very mature-aged<br />

student completing my Diploma in Photo Imaging, in Melbourne<br />

Australia. I will be finished at the end of this year. But being a<br />

creative, everyday life is a learning process.<br />

What’s it like being on the other side of the camera? I love it.<br />

I think as a creative person, we are born this way. So anyway to get<br />

your message outside of your head is a blessing. I loved performing<br />

all my life, but I am happy to not be the subject and to be creating<br />

the subject at this stage in my life. I think that since I was once a<br />

performer, this gives me an appreciation and respect for the talent<br />

in front of the camera. I think this will be an advantage I take into<br />

photography.<br />

What inspired your latest work? Obviously my love for dance<br />

and what the human body can do. Dance is Universal, it’s beautiful,<br />

it’s chaotic, it’s healing. I suppose in a way, this is my first work<br />

that I am showing, and I suppose it’s a gentle transition from my<br />

last career to the next. It’s a homage to my former life and my love<br />

for dance. It is almost releasing my former self into my new self.<br />

What have you learned about yourself through this process<br />

— from concept to creation? That mistakes are sometimes your<br />

friend and not only can you learn from them but they actually may<br />

lead you to where you should be going. To always do what you love<br />

and surround yourself with other talented people. I would never<br />

have gotten these shots without the talented dancers who worked<br />

with me. I trusted them and was able to let go of being in control. I<br />

said dance and they did, while I worried about everything else. So I<br />

learned that nothing is ever completely wrong and always surround<br />

yourself with talented trustful people.<br />

WELCOME<br />

TO THE<br />

HOUSE OF<br />

FUN<br />

IT’S ALL ABOUT AT-HOME GLAMOUR<br />

THANKS TO FOOFOO SLIPPERS.<br />

It was never the master<br />

plan, explains Will, owner<br />

and founder of FooFoo<br />

slippers. We’re chatting<br />

across the Atlantic about how<br />

this U.K. entrepreneur found<br />

himself immersed in the footwear<br />

industry — and surrounded by<br />

pairs of fluffy slippers.<br />

It was quite by accident.<br />

A few years ago, his then<br />

wife bought a pair of vintage<br />

slippers Online. Astounded by<br />

the cost and loyal-following, he<br />

bought a second-hand pair and<br />

successfully re-sold them. Seeing<br />

a market, he took it one step<br />

further and begun the long and<br />

arduous journey to developing<br />

the cult brand, FooFoo Slippers.<br />

Taking inspiration from<br />

the retro designs of the 1950s,<br />

Will set out to create the ultimate<br />

fluffy mule wedge slipper — an<br />

iconic style made famous by<br />

Marilyn Monroe and other<br />

Hollywood starlets. “It can’t be<br />

that hard,” he explains of his first<br />

attempt of making the vintageinspired<br />

designs.<br />

In the early days,<br />

he made the orders entirely<br />

himself, often staying up all<br />

night to complete multiple<br />

custom designs. Although<br />

time-consuming — and not<br />

necessarily cost effective — he<br />

found he had a passion for shoe<br />

making. Knowing intimately<br />

the process of manufacturing<br />

— what elements he felt were<br />

important to the style and<br />

integrity of the brand — allowed<br />

him to eventually find the<br />

perfect manufacturing partner in<br />

Portugal who was aligned with<br />

the brands high standards.<br />

Today, each Foo<br />

Foo slipper is handcrafted<br />

by Portuguese artisans, who<br />

themselves have a long and time<br />

honored tradition of quality<br />

footwear manufacturing. They<br />

are finished by hand in the U.K.<br />

which allows for a Bespoke<br />

service that is a hit with FooFoo<br />

Slipper fans. This is not a mass<br />

market brand and only a limited<br />

number are produced each<br />

month, so you’ll have to act fast<br />

to secure a pair of your own.<br />

This is a brand that<br />

is serious about slippers and<br />

providing the ultimate in quality<br />

— from the finest Australian<br />

sheepskin to a well-constructed<br />

scooped-edge wedge heel. It’s<br />

time to say goodbye to the UGGs<br />

and add a little glamour to your<br />

life. FooFooSlippers.com —A.G.<br />

BEAUTY<br />

BRUSHING UP WITH THE BEST IN BEAUTY,<br />

NATALIE CAHILL, DIRECTOR OF BASE PRO<br />

ARTISTS.<br />

Describe Base Pro Artists in three words:<br />

Professional. Stylish. Creative.<br />

What inspired the creation of the brand? BASE Pro<br />

Artists was born from professional makeup artists who<br />

demanded more from their brushes and accessories.<br />

They wanted products which achieved ultimate<br />

application, looked stylish and provided a smoother,<br />

softer product delivery, making it comfortable for their<br />

clients.<br />

What’s your beauty background? I come from a<br />

makeup artist background and have worked with big<br />

publications/brands and the shows, LFW, PFW and<br />

NYFW.<br />

What do you love the most about being an<br />

independent beauty brand? Being independent we<br />

have a great sense of freedom, meaning we can create<br />

products that innovate the industry and by working<br />

directly with makeup artists we incorporate their<br />

feedback into our designs.<br />

If you were stranded on a desert island, what one<br />

beauty item do you take? Moisturizer. Your skin<br />

is incredibly important and I never go a day without<br />

using it. (And I could use any spare coconuts on the<br />

island to nourish my hair)<br />

What’s your biggest beauty pet peeve? Dirty<br />

makeup brushes and sharing makeup brushes. It’s<br />

unhygienic and cleaning them is so easy, just a tiny<br />

bit of a mild shampoo and wash. Over the years I have<br />

seen a lot of infections caused by carelessness. Its not<br />

pleasant and especially makeup artists should know<br />

better, hygiene is incredibly important.<br />

Beauty to me is... That feeling of confidence,<br />

creativity and imagination. BaseProArtists.com<br />

THE ALLURE OF<br />

ANTI-AGING HAIRCARE<br />

TURNING BACK THE CLOCK THANKS TO DEVELOPLUS’ IINNOVATIVE TAKE ON HAIRCARE.<br />

It’s 9am on a Thursday morning and I’m headed to<br />

Caravan Stylist Studio in the ultra-fashionable Gregory<br />

Hotel in New York City. Still slightly jet lagged, it’s the<br />

kind of morning appointment that you look forward to;<br />

one of pure indulgence thanks to Developlus’ Anti-Aging<br />

Hair Treatment System.<br />

A lot of products cross our desk here at <strong>Heaven</strong><br />

<strong>Has</strong> <strong>Heels</strong>, with miracle-inspired claims and exotic<br />

ingredients, the intriguing thing about The Anti-aging<br />

Hair Treatment System is the way in which it takes<br />

new technology in anti-aging skincare and applies it to<br />

haircare to fight hair loss, stimulate growth, prevent split<br />

ends, battle grays and restore shine.<br />

Eager to put it to the test, I offered myself up<br />

as a test subject. I figured if it could work on me, it could<br />

work on anyone.<br />

DEVELOPLUS’ ANTI-AGING HAIR TREATMENT SYSTEM IS A THREE-STEP PROCESS:<br />

STEP 1: REVIVE<br />

Massaging the formula into wet hair, this step replaces<br />

your everyday shampoo. Revive is a detoxing clarifier,<br />

formulated to remove dull residue that aides your hair’s<br />

natural shine. Simple lather and rinse. Simple enough.<br />

STEP 2: RESTORE<br />

This is a 5-minute reconstructing masque formulated<br />

with Peptide Amino-Vitamin Complex to fight the<br />

graying process, stimulate growth and strengthen your<br />

hair’s natural fiber. Although I’m not a fan of waiting<br />

— for anything — I can appreciate that our hair needs a<br />

little TLC from time-to-time. It’s probably also not a bad<br />

thing for my health and well-being to be forced to stop<br />

and breathe, if only for five minutes.<br />

STEP 3: RE-ACTIVATE<br />

1-2 drops is all you need of the Re-Activating serum,<br />

applied to damp hair as a leave-in conditioner. This is a<br />

rejuvenating elixir, enriched with Developlus’ Peptide<br />

Amino-Vitamin Complex; formulated to reinforce the<br />

hair shaft, soften, de-tangle and regulate moisture. Then,<br />

System live up to the hype? I have to say, yes. My<br />

hair was movie-star fabulous. For days, people where<br />

commenting on the sheen and healthy glow of my<br />

glistening locks. The texture and luster it brought to my<br />

hair was impressive. Using a combination of Peptide,<br />

Alpha-Hydroxy, Vitamins and Proteins it attacks the<br />

“root” of the problem for ongoing haircare rather than<br />

simply aesthetic results.<br />

For those looking for an easy-to-use treatment<br />

that has tangible results, then Developlus’ Anti-Aging<br />

Hair Treatment may well be the answer to your haircare<br />

prayers. Retailing at $19.99 I think it’s a great addition to<br />

your age-defying arsenal. AntiAgingHairTreatment.com<br />

HARNESSING THE HEALING PROPERTY OF TEA, ORGANIC INDIA’S<br />

COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABLE FARMING AND “TRUE WELLNESS”<br />

TRANSFORMS A SIMPLE CUPPA INTO AN EXPERIENCE IN S HARED<br />

ABUNDANCE.<br />

Smuggling and adulteration, criminal<br />

gangs and black-market dealings —<br />

the history of tea is as complex and<br />

intriguing as its many flavor blends.<br />

Legend has it that Chinese Emperor<br />

Shen Nung discovered the very first<br />

brew quite by accident when leaves from<br />

a nearby Camellia sinensis tree flew<br />

into the water his servant was boiling.<br />

A renowned herbalist, he decided to<br />

try the infusion. The rest, as they say, is<br />

history.<br />

Centuries on, tea has become<br />

an integral part of the cultural identity<br />

of both East and West civilizations.<br />

Today, a new generation of tea drinkers<br />

are looking beyond the ritual to the<br />

health benefits associated with various<br />

blends of tea. People now recognize<br />

the once exotic ingredients and their<br />

corresponding properties, looking<br />

beyond the exotic features to factor<br />

in the way in which they are farmed,<br />

procured and delivered. It’s one of<br />

the reasons Organic India has become<br />

such a phenomenon among conscious<br />

consumers.<br />

Founded in the 1990s, Organic<br />

India changed the face of agriculture<br />

ORGANIC INDIA TULSI GREEN TEA<br />

FACE MASK AND EXFOLIATOR<br />

Is your complexion looking a little dull?<br />

Liven it up with this easy-to-make face<br />

mask. This recipe also doubles as a skin<br />

exfoliator due to the loose leaf tea.<br />

Ingredients:<br />

1 Tbsp ORGANIC INDIA Tulsi Green Tea<br />

(loose leaf)<br />

2 drops ORGANIC INDIA Tulsi-Holy Basil<br />

Essential Oil<br />

1 Tbsp raw honey<br />

Mix all ingredients together in a mediumsized<br />

bowl. Apply the mixture to your face<br />

and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Rub<br />

the mixture in a circular motion with your<br />

fingers before rinsing it off with water.<br />

in northern India by implementing a<br />

holistic approach of sustainable farming,<br />

education, and shared abundance. It<br />

works with thousands of small family<br />

farmers to cultivate tens of thousands<br />

of acres of sustainable organic farmland<br />

throughout India.<br />

Farmers and “tribal<br />

wildcrafters” are educated in organic<br />

and biodynamic agricultural practices,<br />

the company picking up the tab for the<br />

necessary organic certification. It then<br />

purchases the harvested crops and herbs<br />

at a premium market price.<br />

Crop rotation is an important<br />

part of this process, and farmers grow<br />

crops on their land for themselves<br />

supporting their family with a<br />

sustainable income as well as improving<br />

their own health and environment. It’s<br />

a mission of True Wellness — one that<br />

aims to provide training and a “life of<br />

dignity” to farmers, preserving health<br />

and environmental sustainability while<br />

bringing health, happiness, and True<br />

Wellness to each Organic India drinker.<br />
