5 New Natural Beauty Products Under $25

Each spring, Organic Spa Magazine hosts one of the best beauty and wellness media events of the year.  And Everything She Wants is always happy to be included. We get to chat with emerging brands, and come home with bags of swag.

Here are five new, natural beauty products under $25 we discovered at the Organic Spa event. We love 'em and we think you will, too.


SheaMoisture's Community Commerce Zanzibar Marine Complex collection ($5.99-$10.99) is infused with rich antioxidants to revitalize dry, dull skin and to renew brittle, lackluster hair. The seaweed-based ingredients are paraben-sulfate-and-cruelty-free, and ethically sourced from small cooperatives of women farmers in Zanzibar; and the certified organic Shea butter is ethically sourced from women's cooperatives in Ghana. Ten percent of sales will go directly to these women to help expand their businesses. Available exclusively at Target.



MyChelle Advanced Argan Oil ($14.50) is a lightweight, anti-aging serum that gives your skin a super dose of hydration, thanks to its blend of USDA certified organic superfood oils.



Show your hair some honey love with Bekura's Y.A.M. Nectar Hydrating Hair Nourisher ($20). Y.A.M. stands for the conditioner's yummy ingredients, Yucca-infused oil, avocado and Meadowfoam oils combined with organic clover flower honey and healing Manuka honey.



Want a healthier way to remove your makeup? Try Juicy Bamboo (30 cloths, $15.50), Kaia Naturals' bamboo, alcohol-free facial cleansing cloths soaked in vitamins B-12, C and E, and infused with a nourishing blend of honey, sunflower oil and jojoba oil.



With its Quiet Night Relaxing Balm ($9), Lather has the recipe for a good night's sleep--the aromatherapy balm's blend of essential oils of lavender, ylang ylang and calendula, well-known for their calming and balancing properties.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Comes to Brooklyn, June 5-8

Attending a performance of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is always a highlight of my arts and culture calendar. An engagement with this awe-inspiring and genre-bending dance company is even better when they perform close to home at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.                                                                                                                                         Photo: Danica Paulos Ailey’s long-standing relationship with BAM began in 1969 when the trailblazing choreographer established The Ailey School in Brooklyn and presented his company’s...

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Graces Brooklyn Academy of Music, June 4-9, 2024

Dance is expression. Dance is spiritual. Dance is activism. Dance is life. I feel most alive when I am listening to music and dancing.  As a spectator and fan, some of my fondest moments of watching dance performances have been witnessing the dignity and grace of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Every time I see the Ailey company, I am inspired, moved, and grounded in the beauty and complexity of the African American experience.  Photo by Paul Kolnik For me, the highlight is always "Revelations," Mr. Ailey's three-part ode to his upbringing in the Black Baptist church. The three sections -- "Pilgrim of Sorrow"; "Take Me to the Water"; and "Move, Members, Move" -- tell the story of African American faith and persistence from slavery to freedom. Over the weekend,  I had the pleasure of taking an outdoor Community Workshop in downtown Brooklyn, where we learned some of the choreography for "Revelations." I beamed from ear to ear...

DanceAfrica 2024 Returns to Brooklyn Academy of Music

The DanceAfrica Bazaar is one of my favorite annual street fairs. I love to watch folks show up and show out in their flyest Afrocentric garb and to shop for handmade beaded bracelets and earrings from the African vendors.  And when I'm fortunate enough to snag a ticket as I did this year courtesy of BAM, I enjoy watching the kinetic African dancers (this time the country featured is Cameroon) during the spirited and spirit-filled DanceAfrica performance at the Howard Gilman Opera House.   (Photos courtesy of BAM/Tony Turner) If you want to join in the fun, here's the weekend lineup that's truly for the culture.
