Designed by Jenna Dewan Tatum and Energy Muse, the “Power” vegan bracelet represents respect for exotic animals while tapping into the energy of one’s own inner power and bringing it out into the world.

This bracelet incorporates nine stones that will assist you in tapping into your inner power and strengths. Leopard skin jasper for grounding, yellow tiger’s eye for movement, red tiger’s eye for motivation, yellow jasper for courage, silver leaf jasper for awareness, ryolite to keep you in the present, carnelian for strength, serpentine to assist you in transforming and turquoise to anchor you health-wise.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each bracelet will be donated to PETA to further its efforts to combat the exotic skins industry.

The bracelet is strung with an all natural and durable natural cotton cord, finished off with brass hardware and charm.

Affirmation: “As I connect with the energy of exotic animals I embody the power they stand for.”  Bracelet length: 21 inches, triple wrap around wrist.

Ecolosophy was developed byB&G Organic’s  Frank Baldwin, their award winning natural chemist (formerly of Burts Bees!) and Lisa Glass, their esthetics expert to create a line of naturally hydrating soaps.  I highly recommend these soaps.  They are delicious and smell wonderfully.  The soaps are long lasting, 100% natural, simple soap bars  - –  made with both natural and organic ingredients, essential oils, and cocoa butter, that not only cleanse your skin, but also soothe your senses. 

B&G Organics has a great business philosophy only do they abide by green practices, their packaging is minimal and comprised of recycled and readily recyclable materials.  B&G Organics believes in raising the bar on what we , as consumers, should expect from both products and business everywhere.  A portion of the profits from the ecolosophy product line will support the Arbor Day Foundation, and their efforts to fight deforestation one tree at a time.   To purchase, www.bandgorganics.com

Spying uplifting bras – This tiny band of fabric that’s the new big thing in bras

Filed Under (Spy Beauty) by Carolyn Akel on 03-09-2010

By Beth Hale

It looks like a cross between a sports bra and a form of medieval torture. And it’s the one item of lingerie that you’ll be hoping no one ever catches a glimpse of.  But thanks to a remarkable feat of engineering, this bra promises to defy gravity and give the smaller busted among us a helping hand without going under the surgeon’s knife.

Confidence boosting: A model wearing her normal bra, and right, after using the Instant Uplift device

The one-size Instant Uplift bra, which comes in nude and black, has no cups and instead relies on only a band of elastic to support the breasts.

The band, similar to the back of a traditional bra, sits under the breasts, while the back consists of a broad strip similar in appearance to a sports bra.
It can fit sizes ranging from 32A to 44C, and can be worn with or without a normal bra. However, given it leaves little to the imagination, going without may only be for the more adventurous woman.
One drawback, however, is its numerous straps need adjusting according to a woman’s bra size.

And then there is the challenge it presents to fumbling lovers who have to contend with not one but two catches at the front and back.
However, as well as giving a dramatic uplift, the bra also claims to encourage women to stand correctly, aiding good posture.
Romney Drury, of Tesco, which will start selling the £19 bra from tomorrow, said: ‘This is a unique concept – the first extra lift bra that sits under a favourite bra. There was a gap in the market for a bra to enhance a woman’s breasts whatever the size.
‘Most women have a favourite bra and now they can wear it with Instant Uplift fitted neatly and comfortably underneath without spoiling the way it looks.’
