The Princess of Wales brings Awareness to Holistic Healthcare Upon Completion of Three Peaks Challenge

Image
The Princess of Wales completed the Three Peaks challenge over the weekend.  The challenge involves a blend of driving and trekking through three of the highest mountain peaks in England, Scotland and Wales--Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Yr Wyddfa. The challenge areas cover 23 miles of walking distance along with a 462 mile drive between each peak.   The challenge is open to the public and many aim to walk to the summit of the peaks within 24 hours.  However, the trek is so grueling and extensive that only 40% of the individuals attempting the challenge are able to complete it within this timeframe.  It is recommended that individuals desiring to complete the Three Peaks Challenge engage in strength training over a period of eight to twelve weeks. Whether Catherine engaged in strength training is unknown but she has always been quite athletic.  Not only did Catherine complete the challenge--she is part of the smaller percentage of people who were able to comp...

Louis Vuitton Embraces Sustainability in Pop Up Shop Road Tour

Louis Vuitton is increasing their sustainability efforts with a little creativity on the side. The brand recently launched a pop of store which includes a showcase of upcycled garments for its Spring/Summer 2021 collection. The pop up's “Adventures of Zoooom with Friends” theme was planned by Virgil Abloh, creator director of menswear at Louis Vuitton. The pandemic has caused fashion houses to push the envelope so that creativity can remain alive. The looks on display are being deemed as “seasonless looks” by the brand.





Pieces on display in the Pop Up were made using materials from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2020 collections. The current collection is derived from four different fashion upcycling methods. These include:

1.) New looks made from recycled material
2.) Looks repeated from the Fall-Winter 2020 collection
3.) Looks freely created by the studio during the lockdown using recycled material
4.) New looks created from existing ideas.


The 1600 square foot pop up is open to the public through timed appointments at the Rodeo Drive location. Upon entering the area, visitors will be greeted by bold, candy apple red containers with the LV logo emblazoned all over.






At certain points, logos appear as a QR code that guides the customer to special features involving the characters. The store is filled with whimsical surprises, augmented reality with characters and exhibits of upcycled garments.






This is the fourth stop of the pop up road tour. It has already been seen in Shanghai, Tokyo and Miami. The pop up will be on display in Los Angeles until early March and will continue its roadshow in Atlanta and Las Vegas.

It’s good to know that the brand is keeping sustainability in mind as it moves into a fashionably ethical future.

Green News Guide Clean, Organic & Natural Perfumes & Colognes: A List of Brands and Companies

Image
It’s Earth month folks! Happy Earth Month! This is one of the best months of the year where we spend most of our time giving back to our earth.  It can be difficult finding 100% natural perfume companies and fragrances.  After coming across a few articles over the years about natural or clean fragrance companies, the list is usually very short and there are only less than a handful that are spoken of.  The truth is that there aren’t that many that are out there.  Many of them are located overseas where standards and protocols for products designated for human consumption or usage are much more stringent and stricter.    Green News Guide has spent some time identifying natural, clean and sustainable fragrance companies in the USA and abroad.  I've compiled close to seventy natural or clean fragrance companies.  Many of these fragrance companies are committed to policies or missions that take into consideration the health of our planet.  I'm pr...
