a major wardrobe essential. Finding swimwear that is environmentally friendly, fashionable, and affordable has not been easy…until now. Los Angeles based Eco-Panda combines groundbreaking technology and fashion-forward designs that will blow your mind!<br /><br />A combination of recycled nylon with Creora Chlorine resistant spandex, each piece of swimwear will retain its shape and fit longer than other swimwear. Their recycling process uses post consumer nylon nets. After being treated to remove impurities they are then chopped into smaller nylon chips. The recycled nylon chips are then liquefied, creating fibers that are knit and/or woven into fabric. Pretty ingenious right?! It might sound like a lot of technical babble, but I appreciate that Eco-Panda shares this information on their website; I love their eco-transparency.<br /><br />By using recycled nylon, Eco-Panda helps sustain the environment for future generations by diminishing greenhouse gas emissions that lead to global warming. In fact recycled nylon uses 27% less natural petroleum resources, and emits 28% less greenhouse gases.<br /><br /><img class="size-large wp-image-1197" title="Eco Panda 944 Mandalay" src="http://www.modernhippiemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Eco-Panda-944-Mandalay-682x1024.jpg" alt="Eco-Panda 'Mandalay'" width="176" height="265"><br /><br />All that aside, personally it’s the softest material I’ve had against my skin! Even the 100% natural polyester lining feels like soft cotton! The actual swimwear material feels like expensive cashmere and yet Eco-Panda swimwear is extremely affordable. My favorite pick from the Mandalay Collection is the black &amp; white/coral floral print Halter Bra with side tie bottom; the two piece set sells for $76, or purchase separately for only $38 each! Such a deal! Their terry cover-ups are also extremely soft made with 70% natural polyester and 30% organic cotton. My fav terry Halter dress sells for an affordable $42 bucks.<br /><br />It’s also apparent to me that Ian West, head designer for Eco-Panda, is truly committed to quality and craftsmanship; the designs are fresh and unique, and are comfortable to wear without any unnecessary scratchy stitching to ruin a perfectly good frolic in the sun and surf!<br /><br />Okay, now for the sweet surprise ending! Eco-Panda has graciously agreed to gift one of their bathing suits to one fortunate Modern Hippie Mag reader!!

At the top of the event there was a crowd waiting at the doors to check out this hot new holistic beauty boutique!<br /><br />Located in the brand new uber-chic Citrus Square Plaza in Sarasota, FL the Butterfly Effect is a long awaited welcome addition carrying a range of bath, beauty, skin care and custom blended mineral makeup.<br /><br />Behind the Butterfly Effect is our very own eco-beauty expert Shayna Teicher. I had an opportunity to ask her what her motivation was in creating a very minimal design layout for the shop, “My intention is not to carry a million lines. If you have a skin care issue I should be able to address it within one to three (product) lines because ultimately it’s not just about selling stuff to people, but it’s about helping people find what they need to enrich their life and then they can pass that on.”<br /><br /><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1016" title="IMG_4490b" src="http://www.modernhippiemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/IMG_4490b-150x150.jpg" alt="Butterfly Effect" width="150" height="150"><br /><br />Why makeup?<br /><br />“I love makeup! But it’s not about women “making up”, it’s not about covering our faces, feeling like we need to be perfect, it’s about taking the things we love about ourselves; our eyes or our lips and feeling as confident as we can feel and making other women feel good about themselves. Women are so powerful and we have the capacity to love and to nurture, if we nurture that in each other it can make a really big difference.”<br /><br />What is the Butterfly Effect?<br /><br />“The Butterfly Effect is the concept that very small actions can create a huge wave of change. A butterfly flapping its wings on one side of the earth can create this expanding effect that can affect the path of a tornado on the other side of the earth, so every time we feel that we can’t make a difference or that we’re too small, think about if everybody did that, you don’t know that with one small action you can change someone’s attitude and outlook. We have opportunities everyday to make tiny seemingly meaningless acts and to use them to promote positive change in the world.”<br /><br />What’s your favorite product and why?<br /><br />“It would have to be the LaLicious sugar scrub. It’s all natural, (contains )no parabens or synthetic preservatives, plus contains antioxidants. I like products that do more than one thing and with the LaLicious body scrub you can exfoliate and moisturize. As busy women we want to get going, feeling amazing, look amazing and have more time to go out and do the things we enjoy.”<br /><br /><img class="size-medium wp-image-1005" title="IMG_4520b" src="http://www.modernhippiemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/IMG_4520b-300x251.jpg" alt="LaLicious" width="300" height="251"><br /><br />LaLicious is a high-end bath and body product collection of scrubs, butters, oils and soaps available in nine scrumptious scents <strong>Sugar Kiss,</strong> <strong>Brown Sugar &amp; Vanilla, Coconut Cream, Lily Mango, Passion Lime, Island Guava, Tahitian Flower, Peppermint</strong> and <strong>Coffee Bean</strong>. Made with natural ingredients including soothing and conditioning oils such as almond oil, coconut oil, and vitamin E oil and all LaLicious products are free sulfate detergents. LaLicisious products are enjoyed by celebrities like Jessica Alba, Halle Berry, Eva Mendez, Kate Hudson and elite fashion editors.<br /><br />One of the items included in my goodie bag from the night was a mini of the LaLicious Brown Sugar and Vanilla Sugar Souffle and yes, I am definitely hooked! The scent is Divine and it left my skin super soft and moisturized.<br /><br /><img class="size-medium wp-image-1006" title="IMG_4528b" src="http://www.modernhippiemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/IMG_4528b-215x300.jpg" alt="Divinia Jeanne" width="129" height="180"><br /><br /><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1007" title="IMG_4425b" src="http://www.modernhippiemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/IMG_4425b-150x150.jpg" alt="Samantha Handrich" width="150" height="150"><br /><br />In addition to goodie bags filled with product samples guest enjoyed champagne and decadent chocolate nibbles from <a title="Divinia Jeanne" href="http://www.diviniajeanne.com/" target="_blank">Divinia Jeanne’s Chocolate Heaven</a>. Also a part of the festivities was Samantha Handrich of <a title="RX Results" href="http://www.rxforresults.com/" target="_blank">RX Results</a> on the ready to provide complimentary chair massages. I can tell you she has magic hands! Ladies from the <a title="Pineapple Spa" href="http://www.pineapplespa.com/" target="_blank">Pineapple Holistic Day Spa</a> pampered guests with manicures and Angela Brakestone gave mini-spa facials using the Nu Skin Galvanic Spa System with AgeLoc, a cutting-edge, patent-pending technology designed to smooth the appearance of lines and wrinkles and rejuvenate your complexion. This amazing take-home spa treatment will be available for purchase at the Butterfly Effect.<br /><br /><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1008" title="IMG_4478b" src="http://www.modernhippiemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/IMG_4478b-150x150.jpg" alt="Cell Food" width="150" height="150"><br /><br />A very unique product also available is the Lumina Health Product line. I was particularly intrigued by the Lumina <strong><a title="Lumina Health" href="http://www.luminahealth.com/products/oxygengel.htm" target="_blank">CELLFOOD Oxygen Gel</a></strong> which I learned from Professional physical trainer and nutritionist Aida Aragon, is a skin rejuvenator containing a proprietary formula of 78 ionic minerals, 34 enzymes, 17 amino acids, and electrolytes specially formulated to create skin that is smooth and beautiful. After only one application I could see and feel the difference!<br /><br /><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1011" title="chocolate-sunb-absolute-sun-z" src="http://www.modernhippiemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/chocolate-sunb-absolute-sun-z-150x150.jpg" alt="Chocolate Sun" width="150" height="150"><br /><br /><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-626" title="Rare-El-ements_image" src="http://www.modernhippiemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Rare-El-ements_image1-150x150.jpg" alt="Rare Elements" width="150" height="150"><br /><br />Other luxurious items for sale at the Butterfly Effect include Chocolate Sun – an organic antioxidant rich skincare and sunless tanning solution formulated to condition the skin, as well as an SPF to protect it; Rare Elements – salon-professional, sulfate and paraben free eco-luxurious hair care products; SanRe skincare products—a Sarasota-based company specializing in natural herbal “organic skinfood”; eco-conscious Jaszy’s Jewelry by yours truly; and amazing colored pencil and acrylic artwork by local artist Sarah Bengtson, sold exclusively at Butterfly Effect.<br /><p style="text-align: center;"></p><br /><br /><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1013" title="IMG_4508b" src="http://www.modernhippiemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/IMG_4508b-150x150.jpg" alt="Artist Sarah Bengtson &amp; Jaszy's Jewelry" width="150" height="150"><br /><br />Besides providing exceptional eco-beauty products, the mission of the Butterfly Effect is to take advantage of the opportunities presented in everyday choices and give them flight to change the world.

In fact, studies show that citrus scents, such as lime, lemon, grapefruit, and orange, can lift your mood and increase your energy.<br /><br />It can be used as a great leave-in conditioner, but beware! I’ve found that it straightens out my curly locks when I use it a leave-in, not that that’s a bad thing. It’s also safe for color-treated hair.<br /><br />Very affordable, an 8 oz. bottle goes for about $16.<br /><br />For over 20 years, John Masters Organics has crafted unique natural beauty products that care for the body and the planet.<br /><br />1.

At the time, I imagined he did it partly to impress me, which it did, though today I know well that he’s simply the type of man who knows better than to turn down a hot-from-the-oven soufflé when one is offered to him.”<br /><br />When Michelle Maisto meets Rich – like her, a closet writer with a fierce love of books and good food – their single-mindedness at the table draws them together, and meals become a stage for their long courtship. Finally engaged, they move in together, but sitting down to shared meals each night – while working at careers, trying to write, and falling into the routines that come to define a home – soon feels like something far different from their first dinner together.<br /><br />Who cooks, who shops, who does the dishes? Rich craves the light fare his mother learned to prepare as a girl in China, but Michelle leans toward the hearty dishes her father knew as a boy in Italy. Rich eats meat, but Michelle doesn’t. His metabolism races through carbohydrates, hers holds to them tightly. And while her idea of a quick meal is a fried egg, his is to head to a restaurant. After Rich takes additional work to pay for their wedding, Michelle offers to do his half of the cooking chores – which, along with the newness of their living together, challenges her feelings about the kitchen and what it means to be a modern wife.<br /><br />As they save and plan for a wedding, the nightly compromises, small generosities, and stubborn stakings of ground that take place around the dinner table offer a context in which Maisto considers what she’s learned from the marriages around her, and what she and Rich might create for themselves.<br /><br /><br />Cliff Roles<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6617764201583370375-8422651932159381971?l=thisweekinsarasota.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rich Swiernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617764201583370375.post-29077871256483458732009-09-07T09:41:00.001-07:002009-09-07T09:43:49.478-07:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xl_23vnjyYU/SqU4Nf-uJJI/AAAAAAAAAi0/_uzqR2jXSGs/s1600-h/twi.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 133px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 133px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378767134537950354" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xl_23vnjyYU/SqU4Nf-uJJI/AAAAAAAAAi0/_uzqR2jXSGs/s200/twi.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div><div>Stay tuned for some great blogs from some of our favorite people in Sarasota, Florida. </div><div> </div><div> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6617764201583370375-2907787125648345873?l=thisweekinsarasota.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rich Swiernoreply@blogger.com0
