I’m Aleigh. (It rhymes with Sally.)
I’m a long time beauty junkie who developed a passion for natural beauty as a blogger for Beautorium.com, an online natural and organic beauty emporium. Indigo+Canary is my new beauty blog, where I write about my current obsessions, my favorite (and not-so favorite) natural beauty products, along with DIY beauty recipes, natural beauty inspiration and basically whatever else strikes me. That’s at least somewhat related to beauty, at least. You can also find my natural beauty writing at Breathe Magazine. (You can find more of my writing on my personal site, here.)
Once I started paying attention, I realized there were some really unhealthy things in the products I’d been using (every day, for years), like pthalates, parabens and lead. The more research I did, I discovered many of those ingredients had been linked to cancer, hormonal disruption, skin irritation and more. And when I learned that as your body’s largest organ, with more than a billion pores, your skin absorbs 60 percent (or more!) of what you put on it, I wondered:
Shouldn’t what you put on your body be just as important as what you put into it?
And so, Indigo+Canary was born. Welcome, fellow beauty junkies! Please leave me a comment. I live for comments.
