Photo: Ksenia Chernaya In this article, I will be sharing with you a few insights and the practical fundamentals of practicing fashion for human health. What is healthy fashion? What is healthy fashion? It is fashion used as a tool and as a healing modality. Healthy fashion awakens the soul and spirit. We can possess more energy, more strength, and more health in general when we choose to wear clothing that is good and healthy for us. Healthy fashion is a form of alternative medicine and self-help. Fashion for human health supports the five bodies: energetic, spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental. Healthy fashion; clothing as modern medicine is the future of fashion. What makes the concept of healthy fashion unique? It is unique because healthy apparel and healthy accessories are for human health, not just for environmental health. Healthy fashion naturally extends itself to the health of the environment. Sustainable/environmental fashion is a hot topic, and the next step that exceeds it is healthy fashion. Fashion as modern medicine is a relatively new concept and an advanced approach to fashion. Yet currently, we are seeing new fashion trends like fashion care, fashion wellness, fashion therapy, and healing fashion. This is because there is a new fashion movement: apparel for health and healing. Healthy fashion has existed since fashion came about, yet it really involves creating a new strategy, criteria, standards, and a fashion movement to get fashion to give back to us more than it currently does. The Ancients used plant medicine as a form of healing. We can use plant-based fashion as a form of plant medicine because plant-based fabrics are made of plants. Fashion for Health is a comprehensive form of health treatment. Healthy fashion is a part of our personal hygiene and a part of natural living. Healthy fashion is defined by two things: fashion that cleanses and fashion that protects. Plant-based fabrics cleanse and protect the body. The concept of sustainability is contemporary The sustainable fashion movement and other fashion movements are growing. People are becoming more and more eco-minded and eco-conscious. Part of the unsustainable fashion industry lacks the spirit of fashion due to it being unhealthy. Unhealthy fashion is toxic chemicals in fabrics, synthetic fashion, fashion waste, unfair trade and labor, false representations of fashion, and more. There are many different healthy fashion practices and healthy fashion movements. One of them is ethical fashion, which is cruelty-free fashion and fair-trade fashion. Ethical fashion creates social equality to balance the planet, which is needed. Zero waste fashion concerns fashion companies producing less waste during the manufacturing process, and fashion consumers purchasing less clothing. One example of what some zero-waste fashion companies are doing is on-demand fashion. They do not produce the garment until there is a garment order. Upcycled fashion takes post-consumer fashion waste and changes the look of a wasted garment so it can be worn for a longer period of time. Additionally, companies or individuals will use recycled materials to make new fashions. A few other fashion movements to mention are slow fashion, secondhand/vintage fashion, circular fashion, and eco fashion. Many fashion businesses have long-term sustainable business models and will incorporate several of these fashion movements listed above into their operations. One of the most important fashion movements is the plant-based fashion movement because polyester is made from non-renewable fossil fuels. It may not be a good material to wear, especially because of its lack of breathability. We have to support and promote plant-based fashion. Textile manufacturers have to produce a variety of different plant-based textiles because we can’t just produce cotton and linen alone. Plant-based fashion is sustainable fashion because plant-based fabrics and garments can be burned without hurting the environment and can be composted without any toxic fumes permeating the air when it biodegrades. Every field and industry uses plant-based solutions. For example, some cars are made out of hemp materials, and some rubber car tires are made from dandelion roots. Healthy fashion is a part of the sustainable fashion movement, and I would also say it is its own movement. Healthy fashion caters to the fast-growing sustainability niche within mainstream fashion and within the eco/sustainable fashion market. The fashion industry is increasingly concerned with ethical, environmental, and health-conscious clothing. This new concept, fashion for health and healing, is not new, it is ancient, yet currently, it’s niche in the fashion marketplace and not standard commercially. Current mainstream fashion practices and their standards do not rely on or approach this healing fashion subject enough, but it will be a standard in the future. When we understand the root of unhealthy fashion and we learn about clothing that supports, heals, and protects the body, this new “healthy fashion” standard will naturally extend itself to the environment, and it will help heal our Earth. The potential for healthy fashion is vast. Conscious fashion design and conscious wardrobes There is a new awakening happening on the planet Earth, triggering a need for conscious fashion and conscious people. As healthy fashion practitioners, we have a keen sense of culture, humanity, and style, and this creates more consciousness. It is conscious fashion that is representative and effective to support the global evolution of a healthier planet. To be a conscious shopper, when we go shopping, we have to think about the garment’s color, the type of material, the style, the details, and the silhouette. We must ensure that the product is something we will actually wear. This helps support a minimal, zen-like wardrobe. If you are a collector, you will still be able to collect clothing; it will just be the clothes that you really want to wear and/or collect. Our styles will still evolve, and we will always purchase fresh new pieces, but our clothing will be modern and timeless. This will result in less waste in the industry. It doesn’t matter what style of clothing you wear. It doesn't matter whether you shop mass, contemporary, ready-to-wear, or haute couture. Healthy, conscious fashion is found in all fashion markets and all style genres. Your current wardrobe is already helping you, but it is a matter of being aware of what fashion can do for you. Healthy Materials It is paramount to own a synthetic-free wardrobe or a predominantly plant-based wardrobe. The healthiest materials to wear are organic and certified fabrics. The healthiest dyes are those dyed with low-impact dyes or those dyed with botanical or herbal dyes. For example, natural dyes like indigo and eucalyptus, marigold, and clay. If one is on a budget, I will still recommend purchasing non-organic plant-based fabrics over synthetic fabrics. We want to go synthetic-free and own a predominantly plant-based wardrobe. A few healthy alternatives to conventional polyester, nylon, acrylic, and rayon include biobased nylon, lyocell, fabric blends, cotton, hemp, linen, and paper yarn, which doesn’t feel like paper. There are many alternative fabrics to choose from. These are all premium fabrics. One of the most innovative kinds of fabric is cosmetic-infused textiles. We can enhance our appearance with cosmetic textiles. Cosmetic textiles, also called cosmetotextiles, mix cosmetics with textiles. Textile manufacturers use microencapsulation. They microencapsulate natural ingredients and herbs like neem oil, aloe, tulsi, caffeine, shea butter, vitamin e, minerals, and more. As you wear them, they are transferred from the fabric to your skin. Types of healthy textiles Plant-based fabrics like banana, hemp, ramie, and nettle are more breathable, supporting a person's oxygen needs. They can also relieve stress because we are creating that plant-human connection when we wear them. For example, when we go out into nature, we are releasing stress. When we wear plant-based cellulose fabrics, we are more connected to nature. They recharge our bodies and minds too. Healthy Fashion—trends A healthy fashion solution is to wear luxury fashion—and it doesn’t have to be expensive to be luxurious. We all deserve to wear luxurious fashion. Some luxurious styles to wear that are comfortable and high-fashion are athleisure, loungewear, and activewear. You can find luxury wear in all style genres, but you have to look for specific garments that are luxurious. Healthy fashion is a part of wellness trends and self-care trends. Other current healthy fashion concepts are body care, inclusivity, fashion for emotional wellness, and ergonomic clothing. Ergonomic clothing is clothing that functions and performs. Examples of healthy fashion These are a few more examples of healthy fashion and healthy fashion accessories: gemstone therapy. Adding precious metals and gemstones to jewelry and accessories. Some crystals to wear are rose quartz, jade, and clear quartz. Aromatherapeutic fashion is therapeutic. We can wear mini essential oil diffusers either on accessories like scarves or jewelry like necklaces and bracelets. These diffusers are made out of natural cellulose pads or terra cotta clay. It is healthy to breathe in essential oils, and it makes you feel better. Fashion with nature imagery and sacred geometry screen-printed on clothing is a visual healing therapy. Wearing sparkling, glittery textile prints made with crushed crystal powder and minerals like mica and bio-based glitter is therapeutic. There are thousands of different ways to wear healthy fashion. These are just a few fashion concepts that are healthy for the mind, body, and soul. It is a part of our self-care, personal growth, and spiritual awakening to connect with our clothing more deeply and in a healthy way. Dressing for spirituality and health is a part of the new spirit of the age. It is a part of living a healthy and spiritual lifestyle. Spiritual healing fashion is spiritually intelligent fashion. For more information about the concepts of fashion and health, check out my book, Healthy Fashion: The Deeper Truths. Healthy Fashion offers new and advanced fashion methods for human health, and it reveals the deeper truths of fashion. It will give you a deeper foundation and connection to fashion. A connection that is so deep that it heals the soul. Fashion as an intuitive, medical initiative will move humanity into a spiritual awakening as it is a holistic, natural tool honoring all species and the environment. In this way, fashion can be a supernatural force in our lives, instilling a heightened sense of connection to the planet we belong to. It’s an alternative health practice attributed to the modern processes of planetary evolution radiating itself on multidimensional levels. Want to read more articles? Check them out here: HIGHLIGHTS

In this post, I am sharing what’s in my makeup case. This is my current makeup collection. They’re my healthy makeup essentials. I talk about why these makeup products are healthy. I have posted each makeup product (22 makeup products) with a photo of the product, a description, and why I like the makeup product. I linked the products so you can shop for them. *This post is not sponsored. Beauty/Makeup brands mentioned in this post: Physicians Formula bareMinerals Crop Kora Organics Sephora Sky Organics EcoTools CALA Caboodles Kestrel I have listed each makeup product by category: Face: foundation, concealer, powder Eyes: eyeshadow, eyeliner, brow definer, mascara Lips: natural lip balm Beauty tools: brushes What makes makeup products healthy? Most of my makeup products are from Physicians Formula and bareMinerals. I am allergic to a lot of chemicals found in non-natural makeup products... So I know these products are clean because they don’t bother my skin. Here is a list of benefits of wearing Physician Formula’s products: "Non-irritating, non-greasy, hypoallergenic, dermatologist approved, non-comedogenic" They specifically do not use 100 of the known ingredients in beauty products that would bother the skin. bareMinerals and their benefits: They use natural ingredients, the product is non-irritating, and soothes the skin. The products do not cake or fade, and they are comfortable to wear. People with allergies and skin sensitivities can wear bareMinerals. Minerals like zinc and iron oxide in their makeup are anti-inflammatory. My makeup case by Caboodles + travel case by Kestrel I love this makeup case and travel beauty case. I started collecting so much makeup that I couldn't fit it in my travel makeup case (the makeup bag to the left of my case in the photo.) So I decided to buy this beauty case by Caboodles! I love it. All my makeup is organized, and I have plenty of room for more makeup! 22 Makeup Products Here are 22 makeup products from my makeup collection. I have added a brief description of the product, why it is healthy, and why I like it. Click on the name of the product above the description, it is linked to the company and the product in this post. Face Makeup 1. Physicians Formula Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips All-in-1 Nude Palette for face and eyes I like to use this product as eyeshadow and blush. I also use it as a highlighter and to contour my face. I love the glistening colors. This is an all-in-one product. You can use it to bronze your face, use it as a blush, and you can use it as an eyeshadow. The color palette is named nude. It is dermatologist-tested! Additionally, you can use a large brush and brush over the entire palette too! 2. bareMinerals bareMinerals Loose Powder This is a great loose powder for your base. It is perfect over your liquid foundation. It keeps the foundation on your face for a lot longer than if you hadn’t used it. Anytime my face is sweaty, this powder covers up the sweat. I like the silkiness of the product, and it makes my face have that silky and polished look. The minerals and ingredients in the product keep your face dry yet moisturized. 3. Physicians Formula Physicians Formula Nude Wear™ Glowing Blush, Rose I love this blush, and I love all four colors to color my cheeks. You can get a really good contour with these blushes (aka rouges) using certain brushes. I use whichever colors I am in the mood for. This blush completes your face with a full look. The four shades will give you a diamond glow! I love Physicians Formula because it is hypoallergenic makeup. 4. bareMinerals bareMinerals Endless Glow Highlighter I love this highlighter. It gives you both a dewy look and a sparkling gleam. My mood always gets better when I put on this highlighter. I am actually almost through the entire highlighter. I will need to get a new one. I do believe it is long-lasting. When they say it lasts 8 hours, it does! Their highlighter formula is mineral-based, and a dermatologist has approved their mineral formula. 5. Crop Hyaluronic Acid Vegan Foundation I love wearing this foundation. It is 97% plant-derived (like most of the products listed in this post). I love that the Crop company is making it medicinal—adding hyaluronic acid and vitamin E to the foundation. It covers the skin very well and is light and breathable. This is a perfect foundation. It is Australian-owned. You can order it online, and it is sold in stores worldwide. My skin has definitely improved after wearing it. 6. Physicians Formula Physicians Formula Organic Wear Marathonista SPF 40 Moisturizer Organic tinted moisturizer works like a foundation; it gives full coverage. This product is 100% natural in origin and 70% organic. I have used this product for years. The shade is a little dark for me because they sell it as two shades– mixing light and medium shades together, but I don’t care. I love it so much. It has a midweight to lightweight feel. It has a blend of proteins and antioxidants! Some of the ingredients are kale, carrot, lemon, and quinoa protein. The foundation helps with skin elasticity. I have noticed when I wear it I look younger than when I am not wearing it. 7. Physicians Formula Physicians Formula Super CC+ Color-Correction + Care Concealer This hypoallergenic concealer has a rich pigment, so it covers acne and skin so well. I use it under my eyes and on any acne or any redness that I have. I love it. It color corrects, so I notice when I wear it, it helps my skin tone. I love the way this product lasts a long time. I always look “instaready” when I use this concealer. Eye Makeup 8. bareMinerals Bare Minerals Gen Nude Copper Eye Shadow Palette I love this multi-palette copper eyeshadow palette. It is great to wear day or night. This powder eyeshadow comes in different finishes—matte, satin, and metallic. It definitely makes me look more attractive. I love the colors and the aesthetics of this palette. It is a very modern color palette and timeless. This product is ophthalmologist tested! 9. Physicians Formula Eye Booster Gel Eyeliner Trio-Black Gel Eyeliner by Physicians Formula I love the silky and smooth texture of these gel liners. Eyelining eyes always make me feel beautiful, and I feel more inspired when I wear them. For some reason, I have more energy when I wear eyeliner. Especially when I draw winged eyeliner. I love the fact that this product is fragrance-free. I am allergic to most synthetic fragrances. I love the minerals added to this liner, and it is known that mineral makeup is safer to wear. This product is also ophthalmologist and dermatologist-approved! 10. Kora Organics Amethyst Quartz Luminizer I love this highlighter called Luminizer. It is crystal-infused and made with amethyst crystal powder! I can feel the crystal powder working on my face. The crystal powder has healing properties and cleans and energizes the face and body when you wear it. The colors are ethereal-looking. I couldn’t find the amethyst Luminizer, but they have the rose quartz Luminizer available, and it looks amazing! I usually wear Luminizer on my cheeks and eyes. Kora Organics is certified organic by Ecocert! 11. Physicians Formula Physicians Formula Multi-finish Eye Shadow Liner I love this product. It is an "instaready" eyeshadow palette. I love neutral shades, so I love camel, metallic browns, whites, and cream eyeshadow colors. It is a multi-finish palette, so you can use one or several of the eyeshadow colors together. You can go really light or go really dark-- for example, you can make smoky eyes with this eyeshadow color palette. 12. Physicians Formula Physicians Formula Organic wear® Ultra black This mascara I have used for years. The black color is extra black, and it makes your eyelashes thick. This product is 100% natural in origin and 70% organic! This mascara is waterproof. It has a blend of protein and antioxidants like kale, carrots, and quinoa. It is definitely long-lasting; I always have to wash it off at night because it is still on my lashes at night. 13. Physicians Formula Organic Wear Natural Origin Mascara This is another mascara I have used for years. It makes the lashes a bit lighter and thinner when I am in the mood for that kind of lash. I love the way they have added healthy ingredients like their "organic lash boosting complex" and organic olive oil extract. Additional healthy ingredients they have added to the mascara are jojoba, cucumber, aloe, beeswax, and more! 14. Physicians Formula Brow Last Long-Wearing Brow Gel The brow gel by Physicians Formula is another one of the products I have been using for years. I love all of their brow products. They last all day. You have to use makeup remover or facewash to remove the brow gel. It is that long-lasting. It is waterproof and smudge-proof. However, if you mess up, you can easily wipe it off the skin. I love how this product is fragrance-free and paraben-free. 15. Physicians Formula Physicians Formula #Instaready Eye Primer Duo- Matte & Shimmer, Shimmer Pearl/Matte Nude This is a really silky and smooth eye primer. It glides on very easily, and it has an alluring glow. Both the colors, the pink and the cream, are really lovely. After it dries, it is smudge-resistant. It is hypoallergenic and made for sensitive eyes. It is non-comedogenic, which means it does not block pores. 16. Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Eyeliner Trio These eyeliners I have used for years. This is a long-lasting eyeliner. I will typically use the black color the most because I love black eyeliner. It is definitely a part of "makeup design" to wear eyeliner. They make my eyes look better too. 17. Sephora Sephora Colorful® Wink-It Felt Tip Liquid Waterproof Eyeliner I like the way this liner has a felt tip. It really makes you feel like an artist when you are using eyeliner on your eyes with this felt-tipped liner. It is definitely long-lasting. I feel much more sophisticated when I wear eyeliner. Lip Makeup 18. Sky Organics Tinted lip balm by Sky Organics I don’t use lipstick because of its taste and lack of moisture. I love these moisturizing tinted lip balms. The texture is silky and smooth with glistening shimmering color. They use healing, healthy ingredients like castor, argan, and coconut oils. Every color I love, and they are long-lasting. I love the way the packs come in four different colors; you can wear whichever one you are in the mood for. Makeup Brushes 19. EcoTools Eco tools duo eyeshadow brush set by Eco Tools I love these natural eyeshadow brushes. I love the handle of them. They are made of bamboo wood. This is a nice brush set. The brushes are so soft against my eyes that it is therapeutic. 20. EcoTools EcoTools Foam Applicator Brush This is the greatest beauty tool I have ever owned. I hated putting on makeup foundation with my fingers or sponges. I love how the sponge is attached to a "wand." It is so much cleaner and easier to put on my makeup. You can wash it with water and soap and reuse it. The link above has a 6 pack of these foam applicator brushes, but I have used one single foam brush for a while. You just need to make sure you use some hydrogen peroxide to kill any bacteria and germs. 21. CALA CALA Eye Need It Brush Kit Lavender I love this brush set. And it is travel-friendly with the travel case. I don't need to only travel with it, I can put it in my beauty case, and I don’t need to buy a brush case for the brushes, I can just use the travel case. I bought these brushes because of the metallic purple color. These brushes are for the eyes. I have a brush kit for the face, but I did not post it in this post. 22. Sephora PRO Eye Liner Brush I have not even used this brush yet, but I am going to ASAP. It is very thin and angled for the specific lining of the eye. Want to read more articles?

In this post, "A Guide to Organic Fabrics and Apparel," I am going to share why organic apparel is good for you. What is this organic fabric/apparel guide about? What you need to know about organic fabrics and apparel Organic fabrics and the environment Types of organic fabrics Organic fabric certifications Organic apparel brands What is organic fabric? Organic fabric is plant crops that have been grown organically. The plant crops are not grown with synthetic chemicals, fertilizers, or pesticides. Why organic fabric? It is the safest material to wear. The organic industry is fast growing. Organic food, cosmetics, personal care items, and textile sales were $63 billion in 2021. You don’t have to be wealthy to wear organic apparel. Organic fabrics are excellent. People are divinely guided to wear organic apparel. It is a cleansing fabric. Organic fabrics will actually support your spiritual development. Wearing healthy, intelligent organic fabrics is complementary to your healthy lifestyle. Many people eat organic food and would rather eat organic food. But the price of eating organic food is higher, like the price of organic fashion. I know this personally because I have tried to eat all organic food. At one point in my life, I spent over $800-1,000 per month on all organic and natural foods. That was ridiculous, and I wasted a lot of money! The reason I spent so much money on food was that I was so feeling sick at the time, and I was trying to see if the food would make me feel better, but it didn’t. But now, I spend maybe around 400+ dollars a month, which is half the price I spent on organic foods. In regards to organic apparel, if you are on a budget you can still buy organic fashion, just buy the accessories. Wear organic underwear, socks, camisoles for women, and undershirts for men. The cost is not as much as organic clothing. What I love about organic accessories– they last a long time. What types of accessories can you buy made with organic fabrics? If you can’t buy a whole wardrobe with organic fabrics (and that would be difficult for anyone no matter the budget), purchase these fashion items made with organic fabric: These are accessories you will have for a while, and they don't go out of style. Scarfs Socks Stockings Underwear Men’s undershirts Women's camisoles Shoes Hats, beanies, baseball hats Leg warmers Gloves or mittens Pashminas/shawls Totes If you do purchase organic apparel, I would buy organic loungewear and nightwear because we spend a lot of time sleeping in our clothing. Part of eco-friendly living is wearing organic fabrics—or you can at least buy smaller organic items like socks, underwear, and basics. There is a difference between organic cotton and non-organic cotton. For example, I bought a pair of non-organic socks at the grocery store one time because they were 80% cotton and 20% polyester. That is a good price for predominantly cotton-based crew socks. But, these socks I bought and wore around the same time I bought my organic cotton crew socks. After a couple of years of wearing them, the dryer machine dried out the polyester and elastic in the non-organic socks. They are now getting holes. When I go to pull them on, the fabric keeps ripping at my heels. My organic socks do not have any holes, they do not rip when I put them on, and they look much newer. It is not just about the quality of the fabric and apparel items either, it is about the energy of the fabric. When harsh synthetic chemicals are used on plant crops, some of those chemicals change the "energy" of the plant. Additionally, when I wear organic apparel, it feels cleaner and purer to wear. When I was hand-making my fashion designs for my previous handmade brand Alternative Fashion in 2015, I was designing clothing with organic cotton fabrics. I loved designing with organic cotton because as I would cut and sew the garment, I would be touching the fabric the whole time, and I could literally feel the difference between sewing designs made with conventional cotton and sewing designs with organic cotton. I literally felt more energetic while sewing with organic cotton. The fabric would literally give me positive emotions. It is also important to note that you should use organic cotton gauze and organic cotton balls for wound care. You can use conventional cotton balls and gauze but don't use synthetic polyester or poly-cotton blend wound care. I had a minor surgery where I needed to use bandaids and Neosporin. I couldn’t believe it when I got back to my home. I looked at the box to see the ingredients-- and the gauze was partially made of plastic! I thought that it would be made of cotton! About organic fabric + apparel The Benefits of Wearing Organic Apparel Organic fabrics are skin-friendly. They are very soft and better against the skin than other fabrics. They also gently exfoliate the skin—the skin needs to exfoliate when thousands of skin cells die every day. They have healing qualities. You are supporting the health of the farmers when you buy organic apparel. You are supporting your own health. They are healthy to wear and healthy for your body. Organic fabrics are hypoallergenic. The human body is not made up of synthetic toxic chemicals, so organic fabrics are similar to the human chemical composition. Organic fabrics can only be plant-based (synthetics cannot be organic). Cons of wearing non-organic fabric Not all non-organic fabrics are toxic to wear. Many manufacturers do not want to lose their crops and will use a little fertilizer, and that is OK. Many of the non-organic cotton fabrics are GM—genetically modified. Many non-organic fabrics are made with toxic chemicals, fertilizers, and pesticides. People may experience damaging side effects from these harsh chemicals. Processing of organic fabric Organic cotton is grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizers and processed with no chemicals. In the past, we did not farm or plant crops with synthetic fertilizers, chemicals, or pesticides. We were always organic farmers up until the past several decades. Organic fabrics are processed using organic and natural chemicals, fertilizers, and pesticides. The environmental impact of organic fabrics + the environmental impact of synthetics It is important to support the sustainable, organic, plant-based fashion industry because fashion is one of the most polluting industries. Organic fabric doesn’t hurt the earth. During the organic farming crop stage, the farmers do not use harsh chemicals, toxic pesticides, and fertilizers to cultivate the crops. When non-organic fabrics like synthetic polyester break down in landfills, they release harsh toxic fumes into the air. Organic fabrics do not do this. Organic fabrics are biodegradable and compostable. Unfortunately, flora and fauna may get poisoned by the toxic chemicals, fertilizers, and pesticides used to grow non-organic crops. These chemicals, pesticides, and fertilizers are attached to the crops. Once the crops are watered, the agricultural chemicals attach to our drinking water and also poison marine life. Organic fabrics will not pollute our water or the soil, or hurt marine life. Organic fabrics are made from plant crops that are grown in soil that is hearty, well, and robust. This soil will assist in helping the habitat. This kind of soil can restore itself, so it is regenerative. Fabric types Popular current textile plants are being grown organically, and they can all be recycled: Organic cotton Organic hemp Organic-linen Organic bamboo (bamboo linen) Organic jute +more Organic certifications 11 organic fabric certifications: 1.

I would personally like to wear more innovative organic apparel. I have a few tee shirts, socks, and other apparel items that I have worn in the past that were made from organic cotton. I know I need to wear more organic apparel! I do love my organic socks. They are from Maggie's Organics. I do notice that the energy of the organic apparel items that I own is different from my non-organic conventional cotton apparel. I am sure that organic apparel can support your mind, body, and spirit more than any other kind of apparel that is non-organic. Organic fabric will self-heal the body. Organic fabrics care for the soul. Organic fabrics support our energetic health, emotional health, spiritual health, physical health, and mental health. Organic apparel is wellness-focused and a part of the body care trend. When you can, check out these brands I listed above. They have lots of organic accessories and basics if you don’t want to spend more money on outfits. Also, you can Google search for the organic certifications above. Organic fashion brands will pop up in the search feed. The future of fashion is organic fashion. We don’t have to have a large wardrobe of organic apparel; we can have a minimal wardrobe, like a smaller collection within our wardrobe collections. It will help the ecosystem and our planet!
