Food voyeur... see what a model eats

 


NY Mag's Grub Street followed around model Heather Marks and chronicled a week of her eating habits. Wanna know if she eats more than just cotton balls and water? She does. Read on to see what the skinny ones live on. Probably not cheese. Oh, how I love cheese... and my figure. Funny that. Read about a week of food fit for a model.

You Smell soap

 

You Smell Soap


What a clever name. We got an email from a lovely brand the other day and thought, how cool. You Smell... well, no, you really don't but clever branding by this niche brand.

 

 

You Smell Soap


It's all-natural goat's milk and Shea Butter soap that's completely handmade and comes in just two lovely scents: Lemon Verbena and Lavender Mint. Both sound equally nice for boy and girl and lovely gifts. They're not available in the UK yet (sorry!) but retail for $8.50 a bar in the states... I'm going to buy them in the states and have a whirl in the shower.

Brad Pitt to partner with Kiehl's for charity

 

Brad Pitt and Kiehl's

Mr. Brangelina Jolie-Pitt has lended his money-making moniker to Kiehl's in the form of the new Aloe Vera Biodegradable Liquid Body Cleanser. The wash costs $16.50 (not too pricey) and the ingredient list is just as do-gooder as Pitt and Kiehl's: paraben-free, sodium lauryl sulfate-free, and free from dyes in a 100 per cent recycled plastic container. Do as they say... and as they do.

 

In a twist that makes us like boy-with-the-golden-touch Pitt and Kiehl's even more is that his name and beautiful face won't be plastered all over the packaging or advertisments, meaning he's not getting a hefty sum sent to his account for this partnership. 100 per cent of the profits go to JFP Eco System, a charity he set up in partnership with Kiehl's.

Just another good deed by boy wonder? A random brand with a heart? Hopefully not. It's a brilliant shift in the way celebrity and beauty brand partner up. More substance and making a difference, showing that it doesn't all have to always be about the profit margins, does it?
