Spring Is Here!

Happy April MSB Girls,

!ough it’s been slow coming for us in NY, spring is o"cially here! It’s one our favorite season’s. A#er months of cold, wet weather, spring brings us warmth and sun, with the promise of $owers blooming and birds singing. We literally wake up happier every morning :)

!is glorious month we celebrate our Earth. And what better way than to honor Mother Earth than bringing you chemical free, all natural skin care products this month?

From our very %rst box over a year ago, we’ve made it a point to support independent and niche brands that use quality ingredients for their amazing products. !is month’s products truly embrace that mission – this month we’re bringing products from brands owned by women of color who have put a lot of love and soul into the products they’ve created.

We hope you love their products as much as we do!

Until next month,!e MSB Team

A Unique blend of 100% Organic Shea Butter and essential oils delivers moisture and nourishment to your lips, protecting them all throughout the seasons. Lightly scented with a yummy mango scent for a fresh and fruity punch!

!ink Green When You CleanWe try to be careful of what we put on our skin and hair, so why not extend that caution to our household cleaning products? Yes, admittedly, at times we miss that chlorine-y scent of cleanliness, but we also know that cleaning products that contain chlorine or petroleum distillates expose us and our families to toxins and then end up in the ecosystem.

When possible, choose nontoxic, naturally derived cleaning products, which are proven e&ective but won’t cause long term damage to the Earth. We love Method, Mrs. Meyers, and Seventh Generation products!

In Honor of Earth Day!

In Honor of Earth Day!

Walk, Hike, Ride A BikeSpring is the perfect weather fortaking walks and being outdoors. For short errands walk or ride a bike instead of driving. By doing so, over 70 million gallons of fuel could be saved each year! And there’s the added bene%t of enjoying the fresh air and exer-cise! For short errands, take a hike!

Meatless Monday’s (or any day of the week!) Oprah and her sta& did it several years ago, and ev every one raved about how good it felt - Once a week, plan a meat alternative for dinner. Enjoy pasta with a marinara or Alfredo sauce, meatless chili burritos, or even grilled veggie burgers! Reducing meat consumption conserves fresh water, saves topsoil, and even reduces air pollution!

Reduce, Reuse, RecycleWe can all do our part to shrink our carbon footprint by remembering the 3 golden R’s!
