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 />

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 />
