Feel Good Guru

It’s been two weeks since I moved into the cold, unpainted, dusty construction zone that is the new FGG headquarters in downtown Toronto. A lot has happened in that time! The dust has settled, and the space is now warming up and coming together nicely after some dear friends added their used furniture to the decor.

Hemp, organic cotton, eco-fleece, organic lifestyle. A minority women owned eco-clothing company using ecologically sound fibres and conscious clothing manufacturing designed and sewn in a converted garage studio in Eugene, Oregon.

Go organic. It’s cozy, it’s sexy, it’s eco-friendly, and supporting the creative goddesses of Sweetskins is a sweet idea.

Yeah! Bring on the Sweetskins!
