"Farm to Face" facial


Introducing Blue Morpho’s latest passionate endeavor…a facial I would be proud to call “Farm to Face”, a truly exquisite farmer’s market facial experience using mostly wildly harvested herbs from the California hillsides, and local farmer’s market organically grown herbs & flowers.

Sequoia Beauty is the skincare line behind this new facial.  Laurel, founder & creator shares my passion in clean beauty practices.  Mainstream beauty products affect people’s health.  They drastically affect hormone levels (including estrogen, thyroid, cortisol) liver toxicity, digestion, lymph, and immune systems, stress levels, and so much more.  We realize that if skin care can do this much damage, imagine the incredible health benefits it can have for our wellness.

No chemicals, parabens, or artificial fragrances are ever used, and nothing is synthetic—just organically grown flowers, herbs, hydrosols, and cold-pressed organic unrefined oils all formulated together with your well-being and beautiful skin in mind.  Laurel is the one and only creator behind these lovely products, and your healing is thought of through the harvesting, from the farm, to her lab, to your skin.  I knew the very first time I used her line, her loving intent and meticulous care has been put into each and every product mother nature (& Laurel) creates. Her products are alive with loving, healing energies. Night & day from skincare that is full of chemicals and preservatives.  Quite the opposite exudes from the damaging products you find in your local “fast food” stores such as the mall, common drug stores, or mass marketed infomercial companies. YUCK!!! 

The best anti-aging solutions all come from plants, so why not take out all those chemicals and synthetic fillers? Putting carcinogens and toxins on your face every day for years is AGING you!!  Anti-oxidants are the key to youth.  When you combine these with chemical toxins and carcinogens, you are doing MUCH more HARM than good.  Sequoia beauty has eliminated all those harmful ingredients from there formulas, so as you will quickly notice after your facial, your skin is firm(!!) & bright and glows!  And is supercharged with real, pure antioxidants!

In addition to being sustainable, organic, and holistic, ALL Sequoia Beauty products contain herbs that stimulate collagen production, promote cell regeneration, tighten and firm pores, and anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, encourage detoxification & waste elimination on a cellular level, heals, repairs damage, and so much more!

We are awakening and learning where our food comes from, and this is the time to be present to where our skincare comes from.  Skincare, like food, can and should be raw, organic, vegan, local, handcrafted, and made with love.  Make a statement that you support your own health, your beautiful body and a community that is committed to a greener healthier future.

Light, love & *awakening,
Kate & Laurel

LAVERA GLOW & GO Self Tanner



As summer quickly approaches, we start to think of flip flops, bikinis, sandy feet, salty sun bleached hair & afternoon naps…as we know the sun can be especially damaging during the hot, sunny summer months…we now have learned and gained valuable information on the safety of physical sunblocks versus chemical sunscreens (which have been shown to produce estrogenic responses in the body), well think about it, applying nasty synthetic chemicals then sitting in HOT sun, hmmm, chemical reactions!!  Physical sunblocks contain ingredients like zinc oxide & titanium oxide.  Both natural, both anti-inflammatory.  Stay away from sunscreens found in CVS, Walgreens, WalMart, because last I checked they are all chemical screens.  Even ones that claim to be for sensitive skin.
As a holistic esthetician, I would only feel comfortable recommending PHYSICAL sunscreens.  I carry and stand behind Lavera sunscreens.  If you are of darker skintones, and the lighter color of the product is a concern, mix it with your moisturizer or I add my powder mineral bronzer to my anti-aging face sunscreen.  It gives me a nice glow and all day sun protection! 
I could go on and on regarding sun safety and choosing the right sunscreens for your family, however, my intention here was to introduce you to a favorite self tanner which is totally vegan, gluten-free, all natural, feels good and is easy to apply and gives you a sun kissed tan and a beautiful all over GLOW! 
LAVERA GLOW & GO!  Laveras spray applicator makes this product easy to apply and is perfect if you’d like an all over suntan without the harmful UVA rays.
I’ve just stocked up my supply & look forward to offering this safe tan alternative to my health minded clientele J  Remember that everything we carry at Blue Morpho Organic Skinspa is HIPPIE tested and DIVA approved…a slogan I kind of borrowed from W3LL People Organic Mineral Makeup…which I believe will be my next blog…
W3LL People Mineral Makeup will be finding its way to my skincare suite soon!  I’m tentatively looking to have a weekend  set aside to make appointments for mini makeovers for you to personally experience W3LL People makeup for yourself.  It’s fabulous.  I’ll be introducing you to just three products, which is ALL YOU NEED, to complete your summer look…face, lips, cheeks…your appointment would consist of matching you to your foundation color, and picking out a fun summer lip glow and a gorgeous cheek illuminator!  More details to come…
