Okay...I feel like I'm posting about Aveda products or services every other day on here so I thought I'd explain why I love the stuff so much.

First, there is the company's commitment to environmental causes:
"Our mission at Aveda is to care for the world we live in, from the products we make to the ways in which we give back to society. At Aveda, we strive to set an example for environmental leadership and responsibility-not just in the world of beauty, but around the world." Horst M. Rechelbacher, Founder, Aveda.

Second, because they use pure plant and flower extracts, the products make your skin and hair look and feel amazing!! I have sensitive, combination skin and at 30 still get pimples from time to time, but using their cleansers and make up has significantly improved my skin.

Third, the wonderful smells to the products that do not irritate people with Environmental Sensitivities. In Nova Scotia, a province in Canada with a no-scented products by-law for all pubic places (crazy, I know...) Aveda products are on their "accepted products list." (I know this after studying and teaching there for 3 years).

Fourth, I have looooooooooong curly hair that is quite coarse and since making the switch to Aveda stuff a few years ago, I only have to trim my hair two (max 3) times a year because my split ends and all that other jazz have significantly reduced with their hair care systems.
