~+~ It has been brought to my attention that Mineral Makeup Mutiny published a nice blog article about us in November 2009. They also granted us permission to use this:

At Herbs of Grace, Inc., we feel that the products you put on your skin should be the cleanest possible. Like our byline says, “No synthetics, No additives, No nano-particles”. This goes for our personal food and lifestyle choices, as well. We are, simply, fed up with the junk that corporate america shovels at consumers. So, at Herbs of Grace, we decided to walk the talk by making natural/organic choices, every time. In our business and in our personal lives.

.

Back in early 2008, Herbs of Grace, Inc. with the help of Jenny Karl, published a Beauty Bill of Rights. Let us know what you think. We encourage you to take the organic plunge, it feels really good.

.

~+~ Speaking of Jenny Karl (jennykarl.com a friend of ours from the city of Angels who is mad about makeup and beauty), published an article in January plugging our products. And now she went and DID IT AGAIN last month.

.

In March, Jenny describes how to get the Bar Refaeli look at Diva Village by using our Primrose blush.

.

Article highlights: How To Get Cheeks Like Bar Refaeli.

A brighter blush is “muy importante” for this look! A rosy cheek will create that Bar Refaeli healthy glow and give life to your face. Use a medium size, natural hair blush brush, to apply the color a little at a time directly to the apples or balls of the cheeks. Try Primrose, Natural Mineral Color from Herbs of Grace.

.

Jenny also did a Spring Trends article for The Hair and Makeup Artists Network.

Have no fear; there are many all-natural makeup lines that offer brighter and even ultra shimmery colors. My fav is Herbs of Grace. They have a large assortment of bright loose powders, which come in matte or shimmer and can be used on eyes, lips, and cheeks! Thanks, Jenny!

.

~+~ There are three new retail locations where you can now purchase Natural Look Mineral Makeuptm. They are:

You can find all of our retailers on our locations page.

.

~+~ We had a few blog posts in March. The HoG Blog is a snap shot of our day to day activites, comments and pictures. It contains some business matters, but mostly it’s about our lives trying to make a living with a home based business, the kids, a dog, and an 1895 farm house. Recent blog posts are:

Northwest Natural Trade Show

We just wrapped up the NW Natural trade show at the Seattle Trade Center. It was our first trade show. We wrote four orders so you can now find our line of Natural Look Mineral Makeup at Okanogan Coop, in Okanogan WA, (our first WA customer), Thyme for Health in Monroe WA, Terra Organica in Bellingham WA, and Central Market in Poulsbo, WA. For more locations, see our locations page on our web site.

We were quite busy talking up our product line with retailers from all across WA, OR and MT. Everyone was so nice, and very interested in our product line. We have lots of follow up to do over the next couple of weeks.

The kids stayed with “Grammi and Grampi” during the day, while we were at the show. M tells me they got new shoes, visited friends and ate ice cream, but weren’t able to play at the park, due to heavy rain. Overall, everyone seemed in good spirits when we got back home.

We’ll be heading back to home tomorrow, (Monday) morning, with a couple of new customer stops to make on the way.

Later, Brad.
