Sweet in Seattle: Sugar Sugar Spa Treatments at Eco-Chic Expo

What's more eco-chic than natural beauty? Not much! That's why Eco-Chic Expo is thrilled to have partnered with Seattle's only all natural sugaring spa, aptly named Sugar Sugar. From their brand new location at 510 NE 65th Street in Seattle, Sugar Sugar pros deliver the best in professional organic beauty products and all natural aesthetic services.

Join us on May 1st at Ravenna Eckstein Community Center from 10a-2p where Sugar Sugar will be indulging guests in complimentary (that's FREE!) brow and lip sugaring. If you haven't experienced sugaring, you're missing out! It's an all natural, chemical free hair removal solution for all.

See you then!

Sneak Peak at Eco-Chic Expo

Soon to appear in store fronts and businesses across Seattle: The Eco-Chic Expo Poster.  We love it.  Thanks to Becky Ellis at thinknow for the fabulous artwork.

Meet the Exhibitors: mamaswap.com

mamaswap.com is a Seattle-based online consignment community for gently used kid's clothes and gear created by parents for parents. Posting your used kid's items for sale is quick and easy and can even be done single-handed while you multitask with your other hand! Plus, you'll earn more money selling through mamaswap than you will selling through a traditional brick and mortar consignment shop or even on eBay. And it's way less of a hassle than posting to Craigslist!

One of the best things about using mamaswap.com is our "swap meets" - a four-hour window scheduled every 2 weeks where sellers and buyers exchange goods purchased on the site as well as mingle.

Sarah Bell, the Head Mama at mamaswap will be hosting two live "swaps" at the Eco-Chic Expo up on our stage; one at 11am and another at 1pm. In addition to our regular swap fun, we will be adding two "exchange" tables; one for $10 items and one for $5 items. Bring something for the table and swap it out for something new-to-you!

What better way to refresh your toys, gear and clothes in "green" way than sending them off to greener pastures to be reused by another family?


Do you want to be part of mamaswap's live swap at the Eco-Chic Expo?  Visit mamaswap.com for more information about signing up and swapping logistics.

Meet the Exhibitors: Sweet Beauty Spa

We are excited to announce that Sweet Beauty  - Organic Chocolate Spa Treatments will be joining us for the Eco-Chic Expo. There are a million spa products out on the market but there are some very unique qualities of Sweet Beauty that we think make them stick out far above the rest.

Here is what we love about Sweet Beauty:

• Every Sweet Beauty Spa product starts with a base of organic fair-trade certified chocolate and cocoa butter, sourced from Theo Gourmet Chocolate in Seattle, Washington.
• Every batch of Sweet Beauty products is hand crafted by founder, Lisa Francoise.

• Sweet Beauty guarantee that all their products are made from 100% natural ingredients, obtained from responsible sources and preserved naturally. The products contain no parabens, pthalates, sulfates, fragrances, artificial colors, synthetic emulsifiers or silicones.
• Did we mention that these products are made with Chocolate?? There are numerous benefits to using chocolate in Spa products such as incredible antioxidant protection and profound effect on your mood, creating a feeling of deep relaxation and satisfaction.
