Organic Holiday: Step 1 - Organic Tree

Growing up, my family packed our hot chocolate, blankets, and saws the day after Thanksgiving and set out to the local tree farms on a search for the perfect tree.  Now, I find it somewhat easier to drive five minutes to the nearest tree lot.  This loses a bit of the nostalgia and couldn't be great for your family -- you don't know where those trees came from!

Be kind to your family this year and ensure local farm support by venturing to a local organic tree farm.

... don't forget the hot chocolate, blanket, and Fresh Fix !!!

A Gift With Purchase That Could Save the World

A bag for the boxes, double bag the milk, make sure the eggs are on top of another, another bag to keep cleaning supplies separate, and don't forget the bag for your pack of gum ... the average family accumulates over 60 plastic shopping bags in only four trips to the grocery store.

Astounding, yes.  Even worse when you know that U.S. consumers burn through 500 BILLION plastic bags ANNUALLY.  Once these bags are produced, they can remain in landfills for over 1,000 years.  Let's fix this, shall we?

With ANY Organicare purchase at Dillard's stores this season, you will receive a reusable shopping tote from Organicare.  Organicare's shopping totes are made from a natural vegetable fiber, jute, which is 100% biodegradable; which makes it not only incredibly eco-friendly ... but eco-chic!  

What is jute?

Customer Testimonial

Another happy Organicare user.  Read below for her testimonial.

"I have to tell you that  I LOVE ORGANICARE!   It truly is an amazing line. Aside from the fantastic results, I can not stress enough how much I adore the scent.  I always like the fragrance of products like Aveda and Origins - but this really takes it to a new level. 

Also, it’s the only line of skincare I’ve found that is actually USDA certified organic. Other products that claim to be 100% natural still carry traces of

 pesticides and other toxins that are terrible for our bodies, and just as bad for our environment. The seal speaks volumes to me and makes me feel confident that what I am putting on my body is 100% safe. 

My favorite product is the gentle foaming cleanser.  It's brilliant!"

Daily Renewal, gentle foaming cleanser, dissolves away make up leaving the skin clean, soft, and healthy.  Milk proteins provide gentle conditioning while organic extracts of coconut naturally exfoliate and help keep the skin clear by eliminating blemish causing bacteria.  Formulated to preserve the skins natural PH balance.

Available on our website (www.icareorganics.com) for $35.

Change You Can See

For the last six months, the word "change" has been thrown around quite a bit ... shouldn't you think about the things in your life that YOU can change to make a brighter tomorrow for YOURSELF?

Organicare's microderma oxygenation treatment, Brighter Tomorrow, repairs damaged skin and restores youthful elasticity.  Immediately after use, you will notice a visible relaxation of fine lines, brighter skin, and an even skin tone.

With regular use, Brighter Tomorrow will increase cell turnover, firm skin, reverse visible signs of aging, and repair sun damage.

Now that your skin is taken care of, let's think about the rest of the world.  The Organic Consumers Association recently launched a campaign call the Organic Transitions Movement to educate

 consumers on ways they can help the world change for the better -- at least environmentally speaking!  

Please get behind this fantastic effort by visiting http://www.organicconsumers.org/transitions.cfm to learn more about what YOU can do to improve your world.  (You can start by purchasing an Organicare product -- don't forget we donate a portion of annual proceeds to an organization that works to solve ecological and social issues!!!)
