Walking in Beauty with @localrose at Mercado Sagrado: . It’s hard to believe Shiva Rose, the wellness-and-beauty entrepreneur behind the blog The Local Rose and eponymous skin-care line was diagnosed with lupus and other autoimmune disorders — and told she might have as little as one year left to live. The experience led Shiva to embrace a holistic lifestyle and she began to explore natural foods, beauty products, and holistic lifestyle practices that included solitary walks in forests, swimming in clean seas, and meditation through Kundalini yoga practice. Shiva represents a new breed of influencers — modern-day renaissance women using personal health challenges as motivation to create and educate. As her passion and following grew, Shiva saw a market gap in the area of beauty and skin and developed a product line, which bears her name, and her obsession with purity, quality, and style. . Shiva will discuss nourishing rituals for inner and outer beauty, the role spirituality plays in holistic living and close with a group meditation. . . Shiva Rose began her blog The Local Rose to get closer to the earth and all its beauty. What came to her one day, after a moment of stillness, was a message. The message was to bring beauty and luminosity to women in a way that was nourishing and nurturing. So many products women consume, even some that claim to be all natural, contain harmful and toxic ingredients. Our skin is the largest organ, and therefore what we put on our bodies and face literally gets absorbed directly through contact. Shiva’s skin care line is 100% toxic free, and without any chemicals. Her signature rose face serum was created to bring radiance and nourishment to the face. It is made with loving intentions and in small batches to insure it’s optimal integrity. .
