Introducing a softer, more feminine look for spring with new designs and colors in sheeting and duvet lines, while showcasing bold accents in decorative pillows and rugs, Coyuchi continues to expand options for consumers looking for a more natural approach to living while maintaining the ultimate in comfort, quality and beauty for the home.

“We are so thrilled to introduce this particularly special product line, which combines our trademark rustically sophisticated style with a softer look to reflect the intrinsic qualities of the spring season,” says Matt Levinthal, VP of Marketing for Coyuchi. “At Coyuchi, we are constantly searching for ways to lend style and comfort to the eco-friendly lifestyle, and we remain committed to preserving our natural resources while offering the ultimate in green luxury with the development of each new product.”

Coyuchi products are produced using organic and natural fibers, free of the toxic dies, bleaches and finishes used in conventional textiles. Building on a palette of warm neutrals, highlights from the collection include the Lace 220 Percale Duvet Cover and Mediterranean Duvet cover with Khadi diamond weave, the brand’s first printed sheet collection and soft new colors for the popular 220 Percale Sheets, new rug sizes, an inspired collection of boldly patterned, hypo-allergenic accent pillows and more. In addition to the new textile designs, Coyuchi is also pleased to offer the brand’s first ever extension into furniture with hand-crafted bed frames and headboards designed using reclaimed barnwood and weathered oak.

About Coyuchi
As the first company to bring organic cotton bedding to the United States, Coyuchi was founded 20 years ago in Point Reyes Station, a small town on the Northern California coast. There, surrounded by ocean, forest, beach and bluff, Coyuchi’s "aesthetic ecosystem" philosophy of design was born, leading to a line of home textiles rooted in the innate qualities of nature.  This rustically sophisticated style has become the hallmark of Coyuchi, with every product, color and detail designed to fit harmoniously and evolve repeatedly, for effortless mixing of colors and textures from room to room and season to season. 

Coyuchi products are produced using organic and natural fibers, free of the toxic dies, bleaches and finishes used in conventional textiles. All Coyuchi cotton is 100% certified organic. Coyuchi can be found at fine retailers across the US and Canada, as well as available for purchase online.

Dr.Hauschka Skin Care introduces the Limited Edition Spring 2013 Collection, a selection of cosmetics and tools comprised of three new limited-edition all-natural products and two new eyeshadow brushes. Designed with your eyes in mind, each product accentuates natural beauty by emphasizing the entire eye area, from lashes to lids.   

Flattering shades of shimmering beige, rosy pink and rich chocolate complement every eye color while the silk and talc powder base allows shadow to glide on smoothly. Select plant extracts, including anthyllis and black tea, nurture and support the delicate skin around the eyes. 

Black Volume Mascara

A new brush adds even more volume and curl to the lashes in this smudge-resistant formula made with neem leaf to strengthen lashes. Formulated with beeswax, candelilla and rose waxes, this inky black mascara works to protect each and every lash while elongating them. 

Black Eyeliner

Formulated with quince, jojoba and carnauba waxes combined with mineral pigments for a smoother application, this eyeliner features a new applicator end that effortlessly smudges lines for softer contours and a more natural result. Organic black tea extract also helps to tone the area around the eyes. 

Eyeshadow Blender Brush & Eye Definer Brush

Use these carefully crafted brushes for easy but precise eyeshadow application to subtly emphasize and define your look, whether it’s for a natural effect or a dark smokey eye.

What’s the easiest, tastiest, and most delightful way to get your vitamin D? Nordic Naturals introduces Vitamin D3 Gummies, the delicious, chewable, wild berry gummy that provides 1,000 I.U. of vitamin D in each serving and is sourced from cholecalciferol, the natural form of vitamin D preferred for optimal absorption. The pectin-based product is gelatin free and does not contain artificial coloring, flavoring, or preservatives.

Research shows that vitamin D performs a variety of functions in optimizing health. It promotes the body’s absorption of calcium and phosphorous, minerals that are critical for bone health. Vitamin D also supports the immune system, and the hormones that regulate mood and sleep. Experts recommend 1000 I.U. of vitamin D a day and each Nordic Naturals Vitamin D3 Gummy fulfills this recommendation – easily, naturally, and deliciously.

 With this new product introduction, Nordic Naturals now offers three convenient vitamin D3 products: Nordic Vitamin D3™ (120 soft gels), Vitamin D3 Vegan (1 oz liquid), and Vitamin D3 Gummies (60 gummies).

 “With recent research suggesting that many Americans – both adults and children – are not getting enough of this crucial micronutrient due to either limited intake from food sources or from lack of sun exposure, the importance of vitamin D cannot be overlooked,” notes Keri Marshall, MS, ND, Nordic Naturals Chief Medical Officer. “During the cold and dark winter months, I often see seasonal strain in my patients, especially regarding the immune and nervous systems that could be potentially relieved by supplementation of vitamin D. As a company, we have committed to making vitamin D3 available as a stand-alone vitamin supplement, as well as offering added vitamin D3 in many of our fish oil products to alleviate this deficiency. ”

 Based in Watsonville, CA, Nordic Naturals is committed to delivering the world’s safest, most effective omega oils to help provide the essentials of an extraordinary life. Distributing to more than 35 countries, Nordic Naturals offers more than 150 products in a variety of flavors and formulations, all in line with leading standards for safety, efficacy, and sustainability. By providing omega oil supplements for adults, kids, athletes and pets, Nordic Naturals helps everyone do more of what they love.

Women searching for a hair color that captures their individuality and reflects their unique beauty, need look no further than The Art of Color, SheaMoisture’s first-ever hair color system. 

SheaMoisture’s permanent Hair Color System creatively connects personal style with contemporary art. It boasts 12 moisture-rich hues, and offers ammonia- and sulfate-free hair color infused with natural ingredients including Soy Protein (helps strengthen hair by replenishing lost protein); Certified Organic Glycerin (aids in moisture retention); Flax Seed Oil (enhances shine and dimension) and Certified Organic Shea Butter (provides moisture to damaged hair from roots to tip, and promotes healthy, shiny hair). These healthy nutrients minimize damage, while promoting vibrant color, superior hydration, exceptional manageability and brilliant sheen.

  "We created the SheaMoisture Hair Color System in response to our customers asking for a healthier hair color option,” says SheaMoisture founder and CEO Richelieu Dennis. “We formulated our system to be ammonia-free, and added natural and certified organic ingredients to nourish the hair during the coloring process. We’ve also included three of our award-winning hair care products to ensure that your hair retains moisture and color stays true."

SheaMoisture Hair Color System is available in the following shades: Light Blonde, Medium Golden Blonde, Dark Golden Blonde, Light Brown, Medium Brown, Dark Brown, Medium Chestnut Brown, Reddish Blonde, Bright Auburn, Dark Auburn, Jet Black and Soft Black. 

Each color provides 100 percent gray coverage, and lifts color two shades. For women with thinning hair or embracing a natural texture, the hair color thickens strands and adds shine. This permanent color is suitable for all hair types and textures, and is a no-drip formula.

Creative Director Jullanar Barron set out to make the Hair Color System artful and provide a way for women to express themselves through hair color.  Explains Barron, “When creating the art for our new hair color packaging, it was important to us to represent our community in a way that encompasses all of our individualism and beauty.” Each hair color shade box features an original watercolor painting by artist Michael Jamal, commissioned by SheaMoisture. Barron adds, "I want women to see themselves in the hair color box art, not heavily Photoshopped and made-up models, who don’t speak to their uniqueness and personalities."

Each SheaMoisture Hair Color System kit includes Radiant Color Crème, Radiant Color Developer, Professional Latex Gloves, Salon Application Brush, Raw Shea Moisture Retention Shampoo, Raw Shea Restorative Conditioner and Raw Shea Reconstructive Finishing Elixir.

In 2010, Chevrolet announced that the company was embarking on a Carbon Reduction Initiative, an effort to invest $40 million in carbon offset projects across the country with the goal of reducing up to 8 million metric tonnes of CO2 emissions. The program includes wind, landfill-gas-to-energy, solar, efficiency, and conservation projects.   

Native Energy is providing offsets to the Chevy Carbon Reduction Initiative through Bonneville Environmental Foundation.

To help explain their initiative, Chevrolet created the following video. It does an excellent job of detailing their efforts, and it is worth watching.
