Pistachio, Yonge St, Toronto

I am so excited to have recently joined the team at Pistachio, as the Director of Merchandising.  Pistachio is an ahead-of-its-time beautiful lifestyle boutique that offers paper, gifts and beauty products that are good for you and good for the planet.   Currently there are two boutiques in Toronto.  For me, this new gig is an opportunity to contribute to a concept that I truly believe in.  Every item is chosen for its low impact on the environment, social integrity, and always, always great design.  For you, In Life and In Fashion readers, it means I will be sharing fantastic green products finds, resources and links to bring you up to speed on how to make greener choices, and easy ways to live stylishly while minimizing your carbon footprint.  And of course, I will be eagerly waiting to hear from you on how you choose to live green. Stay tuned for more under Green Living on the category menu.

Green and glitzy. My kind of job. Congrats Kena, they are lucky to have you.

Maybe you could add products that are eco and style friendly to your green living section. For example, Stella Mccarthy's beauty line up, Cargo's enviro friendly lipstick, Anya Hindmarch's I am not a plastic bag and Root's organic tees.
