Happy New Year! I thought I would start this year off with the last event in December I went to hosted by the Good Ones.

Follain 1

A select group of Good Ones headed out to Beacon Hill to mingle, shop and meet some amazing founders at Follain.

Follain 2

The name Follain is Gaelic for “healthy, wholesome and sound”.

Follain 3

There aren’t a lot of restrictions in the beauty industry in the United States. Follain carries only the highest quality healthy beauty products available.

Tau Zaman and Dr. Nada Milosavljevic  (founder SageTonic.com) checking out the Sage Tonic mobile app. From the website:

The Sage Tonic mobile app is a modern sensory platform, which supports common mind-body conditions with the touch of your finger. Whether you are on the road, or at home, you can login on your mobile device to create a customized treatment just right for you. 

Our sensory platform provides a sense specific therapy to target common symptoms such as stress, fatigue, poor focus, etc. Each of your senses: sight, smell, sound, taste, and touch can be engaged in a personalized session you help to design. Based on your sensory selections a program is created to target your current condition.

Sage Tonic is an innovative hollistic program for wellness. The products are specially formulated, all natural and non GMO. High quality teas and tisanes include: Relax – lemon balm and passion flower; Happiness – green tea and St. John’s wort; Sleep – lavender and valerian; Clear Head – cinnamon and peppermint; Energy – black tea and grapefruit; and Focus – green tea and ginseng. They also have a line of essential oil towelettes. The line includes: Relax – lavender and neroli; Happiness – bergamot and clary sage;  Sleep – lavender and patchouli; Clear Head – peppermint and geranium; Energy – grapefruit and lime and Focus – basil and rosemary. I was lucky enough to take home a sample of the Relax towelettes and it was like having a spa moment on the go. You open up the packet and release the essential oils and breathe it all in – you can feel the stress melting away!

Follain 16

Organic Bath Co makes a full line of body scrubs, body butter, body oil, body wash and more. When I’m looking for something scented, I love the “Stress Less” organic body scrub, made with almond, apricot, sunflower and calming lavender oils. When I’m just in the mood for the scrub, without the scent, they have a “naked” body scrub that is unscented but still exfoliates and hydrates, leaving your skin super smooth.

IMG_4387My friend and I were invited to the Bradley and Diegel 5th Anniversary party on April 6th down at the Fourth Wall Project, a gallery located down near Fenway. The 3,000 sq ft gallery space was a great backdrop for the party. Dirk Diegel’s own photography was on display, featuring the latest salon images and looks.

IMG_4378The night was full of great throwback music, dancing,  bar bites from El Centro, and drinks from Peroni and Deep Eddy vodka.

IMG_4385Jujubee (far right) was at the party performing with some of her friends. You may remember Jujubee from RuPaul’s Drag Race! Check out her Facebook fan page.
