Earth Day has come and gone . . . but has it really? Not for me, because Earth Day is everyday. We create products here at EdenSong Essentials always keeping in mind what is best for the planet and for its inhabitants, which is why we have such a strong sense of keeping our products pure. We also are conscious about our packaging and shipping materials. This year we participated in Celebrity Earth Day Gifting through The Artisan Group - yes, even celebrities can be earth conscious and we appreciate the influence they may have.  2013 Earth Day Celebrity Gifting Recipients Celebrity Recipients: (first row) Woody Harrelson, Ted Danson, Sting, Sheryl Crow, Rachel McAdams, P!nk, Orlando Bloom, (second row) Natalie Portman, Mark Ruffalo, Malin Akerman, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Bosworth, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Josh Hartnett, (third row) Jake Gyllenhaal, Hayden Panettiere, Ginnifer Goodwin, Emily VanCamp, Edward Norton, Daryl Hannah, Courteney Cox, (fourth row) Cameron Diaz, Barbra Streisand, (fifth row) Alicia Silverstone, and Adrian Grenier.

Soon we will be rolling out our new men's products and other new facial care items that were gifts to the celebrities. Could it get any better?!! Wow! January seems to have flown by so quickly! I've been neck deep in preparing for the upcoming 2012 Oscars/Academy Awards GBK Gift Lounge in association with The Artisan Group, in honor of the nominees and presenters of the 84th Annual Academy Awards (Oscars), taking place February 24-25, 2012 at The W Hotel in Hollywood, California. Valerie and Nikki, founder and partner of The Artisan Group, have really been fabulous and have made quite an impression with the media and celebrities. Be sure and check out the awesome galleries of celeb photos taken at the recent Emmys and Golden Globes. In addition to the 100 gifts for the celebrities, we have our product display that will be featured at the table of The Artisan Group at the gift lounge.  2012 Academy Awards (Oscars) Display at GBK Gift Lounge The Oscars display was the easy part. I found an adorable vintage travel case once used for makeup and/or jewelry from the 1950s. The green tone was a perfect compliment to our green and white labels and logo. Next came the gifts. Giving just one of our products to all the celebs just didn't seem right, so I decided to gift some of everything, including some new products we've created. Here are some snapshots of the gift boxes as they are being prepared for shipping.  2012 Academy Awards Celebrity Gifts  2012 Academy Awards Celebrity Gifts  100 Academy Awards Celebrity Gift Boxes Ready to Ship All the celebrities will receive our Rapid Remedy Lip Balm, along with another one of our products.
