Reclaiming what style means and celebrating beauty that's healthy and fun!
Meet Tavi, a fashionable teenager from Chicago and founder of Clothing with a Cause. She shares: “clothing is one of my main passions and I’ve decided to combine it with my concern for the genocide in Darfur for my Bat Mitzvah Tzedakah service project.” Over the summer for her charity project Tavi posted stylish fashion [...]
Organic beauty expert Terri Bly introduces & reviews Vapour Organic Beauty, the newest 100% natural cosmetics line to hit the market.
This morning, per usual, I checked my email. A huge smile crossed my face when I saw an email from Lizz Wasserman, designer of Popomomo. With the words “Introducing” and “Collection” in the email’s subject I immediately, my heart racing, opened it. To my delirious satisfaction, my eyes soaked in picture after beautiful picture of [...]
Some babies are born fashion divas. They just love to dress up. That’s what happened to Rachel. So she decided to create exclusive and unique hand sewn or stitched garments with plenty of spunk and pizzaz. Her passion started and continues from vintage treasures. Durability was also important to Rachel, so each item is made [...]
Designer Carrie specializes in chic hand-embellished organic baby clothing. She customizes onto organic cotton and/or recycled felt. That makes each design unique, (just like real babies), and it doesn’t hurt that garments are worn and tested on her son or friends’ daughters.

Hi there! I'm Becky Striepe, a green crafter and vegan foodie living in Atlanta, Georgia with my husband and two cats. My mission is to make eco-friendly crafts and vegan food accessible to anyone who wants to give them a go.
Founder/Editor of OrganicBeautySource.com online directory of nontoxic organic beauty products.
Safe cosmetics advocate, writer, researcher.
Mother of two little environmentalists who can already spot a toxic product when they see one.
I remember crafting when I was younger, but I didn't really start again until I was in my 20's. Now that I have, I can't imagine turning back! I live in Chicago, IL with my husband and 2 kitties. Embroidery is my top craft (at the moment) but I also love paper crafting, clay work, using power tools, and re-imagining ordinary thrift store finds into fun projects.
I’m a twenty something who got caught up in the stories of people, and, while caught on their stories, made a commitment to helping change their lives.
It took awhile to figure out where I was going to land, and how I was going to do it, but, post six transfers, 15 moves and five trips overseas, I decided to take my journalism degree out on a limb, and create a social enterprise that would not only open the doors for me to help Ugandan women struggling from the effects of AIDS and abuse, but would allow me to write about what I really care about: people.
