Happy Holidays!

If you’re still shopping…here’s a curated list of my favorite, mindful gifts, products and surprises from 2013!

These products were chosen for their innovative, socially responsible, environmentally and health conscious design. Everything listed is something I personally use and adore. From stocking stuffer to splurge…your healthy–yoga–spiritual–fashionista will love these. Or, maybe it’s time to give yourself a little holiday cheer for a year well-lived!

Let yourself be inspired.

LUXX 360 YOGA WEEKENDER BAG – $207

I travel with this bag everywhere I go! It’s super durable, with tons of helpful compartments (even one for gym shoes and a side compartment that fits a laptop perfectly!) I use it as my weekender bag or carry-on when flying. Plus, attach your yoga bag on the outside and adjust the straps accordingly. Worth every penny!

 

I.AM. MAYA YOGA BAG – $69

I.AM helps women in developing countries rise out of poverty by making money doing what they love! The natural textile is hand woven, at home, using a 1,000 yr. old indigenous artisanship technique. Each bag carries the signature of the Guatemalan woman made it and a QR code connecting you to her story. They’re gorgeous and socially responsible!

 

HEALTHY EATING

 

SLIM + SAGE TABLEWARE – $99 for set of 4 plates

Slim + Sage, launched by my friend Tatyana, is a fusion of credible science and fabulous design making portion control simple and chic. Data suggests that switching from a 12″  to a 9″ plate helps reduce caloric intake by up to 48% (up to 275–350 fewer calories per meal). This may translate to 14–18 pounds lost over 3 months. BONUS: A portion of the proceeds is donated to childhood obesity! Perfect for your holiday meal.

MINDFUL FASHION

 

SOLOW STYLE – prices vary

Twice a year, I raid the SoLow Style warehouse (luckily they’re based in LA)! I love their super creative, flattering, comfortable designs and colors. They layer easily and truly go from studio to street. One of the hippest, sexiest fitness brands around…probably because they started as a lingerie line!

My favorites: Racerback Maxi Dress, One-Shoulder Mesh Tank w/ Contrast Bra

 

JUIL BALLET FLATS + SANDALS – $59 – $125

Hip, uber comfortable shoes meet radical, new technology!

Juil footwear cleanses your body of free radicals, based on a concept known as ‘earthing’ or ‘grounding’. The copper “dots” on Juil earthing shoes act as a conduit between your body and the Earth, allowing you to stay truly connected and balanced. Plus, they just launched their adorable line of ballet flats!

My favorite: Gold Ballet Flat
 
 
TINY DEVOTIONS MALA BEADS + BOHEMIAN SCARVES

Be inspired by these Boho gypsies and yogi fashionistas spreading the mala love. Live a more stylish, peaceful life and learn to do japa (mantra meditation).

Check out my URBAN PRIESTESS mala w/ stones of the Priestess Archetype (Lapis Lazuli, Sandalwood + Moonstone)
 

STOCKING STUFFERS

 

PANGEA ORGANIC SKINCARE – prices vary

I’m obsessed with this organic skincare line! It’s all I’ve used for the last year and super efficacious…at Thanksgiving dinner, my sister asked me what I was using on my skin because it looked so good. Plus, it smells and feels amazing because it’s loaded with essential oils.

My favorites: Botanical Body Care Set, Geranium Facial Oil

Only Intelligentsia could come up with this perfect high-style, high-tech thermos!

Perfect for your on–the–go coffee needs. This double walled thermal mug keeps your coffee or yerba mate hot for up to 5 hrs! The spill proof lid works wonderfully. I was recently hosted by an engineer who was so blown away by the construction of this mug…that he asked for it for Christmas! I never leave home without it! Stay warm this winter.

 

 

GIVE SCENT – $48

Created by my soul sister Elena Brower and Alexandra Lyon, GIVE captivates the culture, pace and seduction of Sicily. A blend of sun-ripened citrus and spicy vanilla inspired by the first sultry summer days in Italy.

BONUS: GIVESCENT was also created to empower women and give them voice. A portion of the proceeds from each purchase benefits Women for Women International. The most enticing stocking stuffer around.

You know I’m addicted to essential oils (therapeutic-grade only, please). I use them everyday for First Aid, to diffuse in my office and quickly change my mood. Here are some 2013 highlights:
