strawberryhedgehog in the public eye

There has been some growing attention around my little business lately so I thought I'd take the time to organize the various "spot-light" moments so people who are not familiar with my products can see what I have to offer and so my loyal customers can cheer from home. :c)

Arizona Republic, August 18, 2008. "Follow your footprint to a Green way of life" My husband, James Towner, the eco-blogger at AzSustainability.com, was interviewed by the Arizona Republic for an article on conservation. His main contribution was that little common sense changes, like hanging your laundry out instead of using your dryer or using a washable mug in place of disposable cups, adds up to a big impact saving you on carbon emissions as well as saving you money.

Raising Arizona Kids Magazine. What Mom doesn't want the most natural, healthy products available for her kids? Raising Arizona Kids Magazine seems to recognize this and has featured my products and done a full interview with me to highlight strawberry hedgehog. The cover to the left is from their July 2008 issue. Dan Friedman, came over to my house, where I make all of my products. He sat down for a bit and we chatted going over the questions he had then we made some soap. He set up his cool fancy flash stuff in my kitchen and started snapping away as I stirred in spices and essential oils and poured the hot soap into the mold. He continued taking pictures as I sliced the soaps and those are the ones that ended up in the article which can be viewed below.

I was contacted in late 2007 by Raising Arizona Kids fabulous style editor, Sari Smith. She is such a joy and I was so grateful that she was interested in my products. I put together a few of them for her to try and feature in her "Going Green In Style" section and they were a hit! Raising Arizona Kids Going Green In Style January 2008

Eco Salon:This is a great site with an earth friendly, socially responsible twist on fashion and beauty. Most recently they posted a glowing review of my soaps with valuable information on glycerin soaps in general. Click the images below to view the corresponding articles. I was contacted by their writer, Mike Sowden, with some insightful questions that I happily answered and they posted on their site. With everything from health concerns about conventional ingredients, valuable natural ingredients lost to the scale of mass production and where my ingredients are sourced from, this interview hits on some good points and I'm glad to have done it. We were also featured as a guest blogger to talk about our Solar Aromatherapy Diffuser.
