Reclaiming what style means and celebrating beauty that's healthy and fun!
Constant in life is the collection of moments. We are travelers through layers of mind and spirit with glimpses of love and beauty that nourish us along the way. We love who we love, still, we are constantly in flux as our hearts and universe grows and expands with appreciation of what we have, what is passing [...]
One of the reasons why I love fashion and beauty is that it provides not just a platform for self-expression and creativity, it also allows me to escape into a world of wonder, possibility and imagination that is always a welcome respite from the mundane. I live, breathe and act in the world of beauty [...]

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.
