Communities in Bloom honored us with some fabulous recognition for our gardening efforts! Thank-you for selecting us for the Best Commercial Garden award! We have spent 'many a days' trying to figure out what to do with our yard & we are thrilled that our efforts to
Xeriscape (no irrigation or hand watering necessary -- yay finally!) were noticed!
A huge thanks to Nikki (owner of Happy Place Garden Services) We wouldn't have our yard looking half as nice without her help!
To contact Nikki for your gardening needs, email her at: happyplacegardenservices@gmail.com

It was fun to be part of the team preparations as each member had funky green extensions applied to their hair!

Mackie Naturals is proudly presented with a Green Spa certification!
While we have always been passionate about the "green" choices we make in our business and have always cared about making choices that are both sustainable (for you & the environment!), we have been "ramping" things up lately!
Our new Green Spa certification means that everything from the paper we print on to our recycling & composting programs have been reviewed & meet the Green Spa Certification standards.
Here's a small snap shop of some of the things we are doing ...

- biodegradable laundry & cleaning supplies
- organic & fair trade coffee
- use of recycled paper products
- carpooling & encouraging staff to walk to work (owners, & staff who can, stay committed to one car family & walking to work)
- Xeriscaping the garden (yay we don't water anymore!)
|
Over the next year, you will be seeing continued changes as we commit to doing even more to reduce our environmental impact while keeping it exciting for you.
As an example, we are in the process of transitioning our lighting to LED over the next year.
We are very proud of these decisions and hope to inspire other local businesses to do the same! These changes are possible because of the incredible support we have from people like you-- Thank-you!

Actress Katherine Heigl gushes in the October issue of InStyle about Éminence and our organic skin care products saying...
“I can’t get enough of the skin care line. I take them on the plane with me and give myself a facial. And I use the mineral powder regularly when I’m not working. I should own stock. I want to give it to all my girlfriends.”
Among her favorite items is our Sweet Cheeks collection of skin quenching products like our Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum, Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant and the luscious Strawberry Rhubarb Masque. |

We eagerly supported the Mission Leisure Center in its efforts to reward members in their "Spring Into Motion" competition....
"Thanks for all you support for the event this year. Our prize packs certainly would not have been as good without the contribution from Mackie Naturals. We look forward to working with you again in the future. Thanks again!"

Character For Life Children's Documentary Series
|

We opened our doors to be filmed in a children's documentary!
"Robbie, Keith & the Mackie stars,
You are all pros over there working in a fabulous location. It's a great atmosphere to walk into & I'd say it's all due to your collective vision, professionalism, genuine kindheartedness & grounded character.
It was a pleasure to spend those hours with you all, playing the "beautician in training" for half a day, (not that I'm really fond of that term in describing myself, but ..... From the chocolate mask to my less hairy leg, it was a blast. If all our shoots could be this cool with such great people.
To be honest, I'm not really a spa type of guy-- although I have bought gift certificates before--which will be for your place from now on without question-- you may see me taking you up on your 'come back anytime' invitation."
Sincerely,
John
John Flokstra -- Host of the "Character for Life" Series

Lori Holden was the Professional Photographer on set of the "Character For Life" documentary where an episode was filmed at Mackie Naturals. What a fabulous photographer she is with such natural talent to make you feel at ease.
"Hi Robbie,
It was great meeting you, and I’ve been meaning to send you an e-mail to thank you and Keith for your hospitality, and letting us come in on your day off…it was actually very fitting for the theme of the episode." (which was "team spirit")
