Legalizing Hemp (Fabric):

The hemp plants used for fabric and marijuana are two totally different species, making the US prohibition against growing hemp for textiles nonsensical. A hardy plant that produces a fiber stronger than silk, hemp needs little to no chemicals for cultivation. And the first American flag was made out of it.

Tsi-La Eau de Parfum Collection

Tsi-La Eau de Parfum Collection

Why It's Good:

The collection includes four miniature roll-on bottles of Tsi-La's luxurious and varied floral fragrances so you can wear them solo or experiment and layer a few. Or buy the set and share with your friends (though we doubt you'll want to). The small size is perfect for travel—you can bring along all four scents for a weekend away or slip your favorite in your purse for daily use.

Why It's Green:

Tsi-La fragrances are created using a base of certified organic and GMO-free alcohol. They contain pure plant essences rather than the synthetic fragrances and artificial colors found in most conventional fragrances, which contribute to the chemical overload of your daily body burden.

Where To Get It:

http://www.tsilaorganics.com |   $75.00


You can also buy larger individual bottles of any one of Tsi-La's six scents, $85 each.

Your Next Favorite Fragrance

Recent research shows that our sense of smell is our most emotionally evocative sense and the one most closely tied to our happiness. No wonder we're so euphoric when we find a fragrance we love. For us, the feeling is enhanced when that fragrance happens to be natural and organic, as are these from Tsi-La (pronounced "chee la" from a Cherokee word meaning flower). Founded by model Annie Morton and her sister-in-law Natalie Szapowalo, who wanted to create luxurious fragrances that make women happy (and smell heavenly, sexy, etc.), but didn’t contribute to our daily chemical overload, Tsi-La perfumes contain only good things like essential oils and plant botanicals and none of the icky things found in most other fragrances (like benzene, which, it may surprise you to know, is also found in anti-freeze). Our staff sampled each of the perfumes in the collection and had the following comments. Fleur Savage: smells like "candy," "Hawaii"; Kesu: smells like "crème brulee," "church," "a cedar forest"; Ilang Ilang: smells like "vanilla," "yeah, heavy vanilla"; Kizes: "citrus," "lemons." Each aroma was definitely a little different in the bottles than it was on our skin—and they smelled unique on each of us so we all ended up having a different favorite. The one thing we did have in common? We were all in good moods for the rest of the day.
