  • Saying goodbye! 
.
Not to you guys, but to the corporate grind! After a solid 8 years in Big Law and Big Tech, I'm finally taking a step back to focus on the things I love. The decision was hard and yet an immediate relief. The Green Beauty Guide will also be evolving into a new phase, so watch this space, and if you're as excited about sustainability, human rights, and beauty as I am - let's talk! 
❤️ Maggie

Also a major shoutout to @reddztradingstyle and @clothesencountersdc for this full 70s vintage look I wore on my last day!

  • At Home with Handmade Habitat! 
. 
What a treat to be featured in the Handmade Habitat journal this month. I met Amina many moons ago at a @takecareshopdc candle making class and I've loved her candles ever since. It was so lovely to chat with her about my journey as an attorney/skincare formulator/blogger (among many other topics!) You can catch the full interview on the @handmadehabitat website. Plus Amina is kindly offering 10% Handmade Habitat purchases through the end of March with code GREENBEAUTY. Thank you, Amina! 
❤ Maggie

  • And we're live!
.
I'm so excited to share my collaboration with @starbrightfarm on their two newest products: the Youthful Glow and the Golden Glow facial serums! Formulating these oils was such a labor of love and started almost two years ago when I first met Helen, the owner of Star Bright Farms. We both loved the idea of creating a facial oil that would showcase botanical infusions of lavender, calendula, and tulsi grown right on the farm. Spoiler: we liked it so much, we ended up creating two!
.
To celebrate the launch of these gorgeous oils, we're giving away one of each! To enter, simply comment below with the oil you're most interested in trying. We'll pick two lucky winners on February 27th (limited to US residents only). Good luck!
❤ Maggie

  • Putting my whole heart into it!
.
When I started formulating skincare, I had no idea what a personal expression it would become. While some formulations are for practice, others are a reflection of my needs and inspiration in that moment. 
.
When I was in Florida for Christmas, I wanted a simple, travel-friendly moisturizer that captured the spirit of warm sun and days spent at the beach. I had also just gone on a @secretcacaogarden deep dive and knew I wanted to use pure cocoa butter. With that, these mini body melts were born! 
.
A blend of @bettersheabutter cacao butter, Tahitian gardenia-rich monoi de Tahiti from @monoitikitahitioficial, and an uplifting blend of ginger and orange essential oils brought it all together. 
.
What do you think - remind you of a day at the beach?
❤ Maggie
  • It's a snow day today and I don't plan on getting out of pajamas - but in my mind I'm back in Florida drinking iced matcha from @thelokomotive and learning about indigenous medicine from @kitchencurandera (easily one of my favorite books from 2021). Any special moments from last year you're thinking about?

Flashback to a roadtrip I took across the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, learning about the  desert alchemy that produces so many incredible skincare ingredients. Since then, I've learned so much about different environments like this thanks to the work educators like Ash Ritter of @black.sage.botanicals. I was lucky enough to interview Ash about her work in the Sonoran desert and her amazing experience as an herbalist and ethnobotanist. #linkinbio to read more, and drop a question for Ash in the comments below!

  • Good morning from my bedroom / office/ skincare studio. It brings me so much joy to sit in the sunshine and concoct formulas just for that moment and mood. This batch of body oils captures the last days of summer: sharp citrus and delicate florals mixed with a heady, earthy undertone. Fresh and bright but never sickly sweet. Already thinking about what I'll make for fall and winter! What are your favorite seasonal scents?
❤ Maggie
