Excellent natural beauty products
C.O. Bigelow
05 May 2009
C.O. Bigelow (now owned by Limited Brands) is the oldest apothecary in the U.S.. Today it leads by featuring excellent natural beauty products, many under its own name. The design is an irreverent blend between Victorian and Modern.
Helping communities
VeeV Acai Spirit
06 March 2010
Not sure if it's yet available outside the US yet, but VeeV is quickly invigorating eco-conscious drinkers in night clubs and board rooms alike. With a light slightly berry taste and a consistency closer to rum than vodka or gin, VeeV's brand is centered around helping the communities and habitat where it sources its Amazon ingredients just as much as it hopes to bring some enjoyment to its drinkers (like me!).
Walk by in awe
Umpqua Bank
06 March 2010
Although I'm not an Umpqua Bank member, I used to live and work in beautiful Portland, Oregon - and would walk by every day their Pearl District branch in awe - every time. ING Direct (in the US) has attempted to do this as well, but comes across as e-cafe or coffee shop, where as Umpqua is something of another order. Wish other banks would see this and think, "Why don't we do that?"
