| - This year for Christmas, my girlfriends and I decided to have a Green holiday. Instead of a traditional a Kris Kringle, or even an Upcycled present exchange, I asked them if this Christmas, we could give ourselves the gift of knowledge: how to lessen our exposure to harmful chemicals through products that we use every day.
Karina and Scott were lovely to meet; we felt more like friends than clients. He told us about how the lavender was grown by his mother, and she told us stories about her family back home in Mexico. And all the while, we made body butters and shampoos which were perfectly customized to all of our favourite scent and consistency. The five of us spent a good hour and a half in there, and at the end, we laughed as we got our own "Murray"-- the rubber duckie who we can now bring around on our adventures.
If you're thinking of giving personal care products to your family and friends this Christmas, give them something that doesn't have phthalates or formaldehyde by steering clear of the mall, and instead, go straight to Queen and Markham. Highly recommended!
