Recently, I read an article titled, “20 Ways to Bring Goodness into your life.” Below the title were instructions for life, as written by the Dalai Lama. The list in its entirety is noteworthy, but there were three instructions in particular that I felt really summed up what I am trying to achieve with the launching of my company, My Green Naturals. 1. Be gentle with the earth 2. If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. 3. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. My Green Naturals fits these criteria by creating health and skin care products using only 100% all-natural ingredients and donating 10% of all profits to the Pittsburgh chapter of The National Multiple Sclerosis Society. My products currently consist of organic and natural lip balms, body scrubs, and hand and body butters. In the future, I hope to offer earth friendly cleaning products as well. All are completely void of earth damaging ingredients such as parabens and sulfates and when packaging the items, I try to only use recyclable, renewable, and sustainable elements.
generosity, and compassion. Being a part of the search for a cure is my way of saying thank you for these values, the same values I want to pass on to my daughter. During MS Awareness Week, My Green will be going Orange! I will be introducing an exclusive line of Sweet Orange scented lip balms, body scrubs, and body butters. Whenever you purchase one of these items I will donate an extra 10%, that’s 20% of the profits to The National MS Society. www.mygreennaturals.com
