About The Clean Living Magazine Eco-Luxe Experience
As Hollywood prepared for its most celebrated weekend in the serene hills of Bel Air, another type of magic was unfolding. The Clean Living Magazine Eco-Luxe Experience, an intimate gathering hosted by Clean Living Magazine on March 1-2, 2025, transformed a private estate into a sanctuary for a unique, interactive experience.
As an expecting mother navigating personal transformation and pursuing my passions, I was honored to witness this masterfully curated event, which brought together influential women in entertainment, visionary female entrepreneurs, and wellness pioneers for two days of authentic connection and conscious renewal.
Timed perfectly to coincide with Women’s History Month, the experience offered a refreshing counterbalance to the industry’s typical high-energy celebrations—creating instead an intentional space where meaningful conversations flowed as freely as the organic refreshments. Against breathtaking views, attendees engaged directly with brand founders, discovered new innovative products, and participated in immersive brand activations that nourished body, mind, and spirit.
“We were overwhelmed by the energy, camaraderie, and sense of community that unfolded over the weekend,” shared Cassandra McClure, the visionary founder of Clean Living Magazine, whose commitment to conscious living has created a movement far beyond these beautiful grounds.
Editor Notes
Attending the Clean Living Magazine Eco-Luxe Experience as a media partner and collaborator, this specially curated event offered a showcase and unique look at conscious brands prioritizing quality and elegance, enriching your everyday life.
What follows are a collection of conscious brands and experiences that exemplify the event’s core philosophy that clean, conscious living never requires compromise. From revolutionary skincare innovations to sustainable accessories, each featured brand represents a powerful vision of how mindful brands can transform our daily rituals and our collective impact on the world.
It was an honor and privilege to experience these transformative brands firsthand. While the rest of Hollywood celebrated cinematic achievements, I discovered conscious, women-owned brands that are redefining what luxury means in a conscious-focused space. Here are my curated editor picks from the retreat—brands that deserve your attention not just for what they make but for how and why they make it.
LUNAESCENT—A Revolutionary Universal Beauty Tool
As an expecting mama who loves skincare, LUNAESCENT immediately caught my attention with its innovative applicator. After meeting with the founder for a personal demonstration, I was impressed by how this elegant tool transforms the application process, maximizing product coverage while minimizing waste.
The applicator prevents skincare formulas from absorbing into my fingertips, ensuring more reaches the skin where it belongs. I especially appreciate the hygienic benefits of keeping bacteria from transferring from hands to face—something that feels particularly important during pregnancy when my skin seems more reactive than ever.
What sold me was discovering that this versatile tool works with everything from lightweight serums to thick creams and even serves unexpected purposes like applying diaper cream with precision. As someone preparing for beauty routines and baby care, LUNAESCENT offers a mindful solution that perfectly aligns with my journey toward more conscious living for myself and my little one.
Solterra Tribe—The Lip Bloom Lip Balm
I had the honor to connect with Solterra Tribe before the event, and it continued to capture my attention. Through my conversation with the founder on The Conscious Publicist® Podcast, I discovered the depth behind this seemingly simple product—a formula perfected through generations of ancestral wisdom and careful, scientific testing.
What resonates most is the brands’ unwavering philosophy that anything applied to the lips should be pure enough to eat. This commitment to purity feels especially significant as someone nourishing not just myself these days. When applied for the first time, the balm’s silky texture melted effortlessly into my lips, delivering instant hydration without the sticky residue I’d expected from conventional alternatives.
Perhaps even more impressive is Solterra Tribe‘s dedication to complete sustainability—from the nutrient-rich formula to the elegant packaging, everything is 100% biodegradable. In a world of often empty eco-promises, their approach leaves no trace on our planet, while the nutrient-packed ingredients leave a lasting impression on the lips. This thoughtful balance of traditional wisdom and modern, clean beauty standards perfectly aligns with my journey toward more conscious living.

Astor & Orion—Ethical and Aesthetic Jewelry
Let’s talk about jewelry, one of my favorite collectible items. Astor & Orion‘s jewelry collection is by far one of the most stunning I’ve seen. It also showcases that conscious design can produce truly beautiful pieces.
What fascinates me most is their innovative use of 3D sculpting technology, which creates intricate designs while minimizing material waste—a refreshing approach from traditional jewelry manufacturing’s typically heavy environmental footprint. Each piece tells a complete story of ethical creation, from the certified recycled metals to the curation of the designs and details.
Their circular design philosophy really speaks to me. Knowing that materials from previous collections can transform into new designs creates a beautiful closed-loop approach that feels especially meaningful. As I’ve been wearing my earring set, I can’t help but appreciate how Astor & Orion has created jewelry that adorns not just the body but also the conscience. This thoughtful balance of beauty and responsibility makes their pieces a treasured addition to my collection and perfectly aligns with my conscious styling choices.
Maison Palo Santo—Elevating Self-Care Through Ancient Wisdom
When I stepped into Maison Palo Santo‘s sensory sanctuary at the retreat, I was captivated by an aroma that always uplifts my energy. This mission-based brand has masterfully harnessed the vibrational power of Palo Santo through a collection of handcrafted products that elevate daily rituals into healing experiences.
What sets Maison Palo Santo apart in the wellness space is its innovative approach to self-care. They’re the only company worldwide that seamlessly integrates aromatherapy with rhythmic breathwork meditation, creating a multi-sensory experience that deepens the connection between mind, body, and spirit.
It should come as no surprise that I am personally deeply moved by their commitment to environmental and social responsibility. Each purchase directly supports reforestation efforts in Ecuador’s dry tropical forests—the sacred homeland of Palo Santo. This holistic approach creates what they beautifully describe as “energetic ecosystems out of love,” generating ripples of prosperity throughout the region.
Their harvesting practices exemplify conscious business. They utilize only branches that have naturally fallen to the forest floor, honoring the tree’s lifecycle while capturing its most potent healing properties. As their elegantly designed packaging states, “Sustainability Never Looked So Sleek” perfectly encapsulates how Maison Palo Santo has been increasing joy and inner peace since 2016 without compromising its environmental ethics.

Eme’s Baked Goods—Where Indulgence Meets Wellness
As an expecting mama navigating the delicate balance between cravings and conscious eating, there is one thing I know for sure—this baby loves sweets. During a craving moment, I visited the beautifully arranged display of Eme’s Baked Goods. The vegan cookies caught my eye immediately, particularly the white chocolate chip variety that seemed to call my name. From the first bite, I tasted the perfect balance of sweetness and texture—crisp edges giving way to a soft, chewy center studded with creamy white chocolate morsels.
What truly sets Eme’s Baked Goods apart is its commitment to mindful indulgence. Each ingredient is thoughtfully sourced, with organic flours, natural sweeteners, and plant-based alternatives to traditional baking staples. Their treats contain no artificial preservatives, flavors, or colors—just pure, wholesome goodness that aligns perfectly with my pregnancy journey. What I love most about these treats is the peace of mind they provide. I can enjoy them guilt-free and consciously, knowing that what I’m putting in my body—and, by extension, my baby—is indulgent yet mindful. “Healthy” can sometimes be “tasteless,” but Eme’s Baked Goods has mastered the rare art of creating treats that nourish both body and soul.
I cannot recommend Eme’s Baked Goods highly enough for any mama-to-be navigating cravings while wanting to maintain a clean eating approach. They’ve proven that you can indeed have your cookie and eat it, too.
Espieve—Mindful Protection for Mama and Mother Earth
As an expecting mama who is due in the summer, one product is constantly on my mind these days—sunscreen. Pregnancy has made my skin noticeably more sensitive to the sun, transforming this seasonal essential into a non-negotiable step in my daily skincare routine.
Espieve‘s thoughtfully formulated sunscreens will soon become my trusted companions in this journey toward sun protection. What draws me to their collection is their commitment to clean formulation. Each product is entirely free from harsh chemicals like parabens, sulfates, and dyes that I’m increasingly cautious about for my own wellness, especially as I nurture this growing life.
What truly sets Espieve apart is its comprehensive approach to conscious sun care. Every sunscreen in their lineup offers broad-spectrum protection while remaining reef-friendly—a balance that feels especially important. As my body changes and my skin’s needs evolve, Espieve‘s gentle yet effective formulas will provide the protection I need without compromise—precisely the mindful solution that, again, resonates with my journey toward more conscious living for myself and my baby.
Crafted by Carroll—Illuminating Memories Through Scent
As an expecting mama, I am passionate about creating a peaceful sanctuary for myself and my growing baby. Crafted by Carroll‘s mindful fragrance collection, it spoke directly to my heart as I love a good scent in the home and the story behind the mission. Meeting founder Amber Carroll before the event revealed the emotional intention behind her artisanal candles, room diffusers, and scent oils.
Born during Amber’s personal struggle with depression amid the pandemic isolation, what began as therapy—through prayer, journaling, and candle-making—evolved into a mission to help others find light in the darkness. As a conscious woman, I also appreciate the clean ingredient list—free from paraffin, phthalates, and artificial enhancers I’ve become increasingly mindful of during pregnancy. Instead, Amber uses sustainable soy wax, premium essential oils, and cotton wicks that illuminate spaces without compromising indoor air quality.
As I prepare our home for the baby’s arrival, I look forward to adding one of these candles to our space to create a calming ritual that eases pregnancy anxieties while creating a peaceful environment in which I hope to welcome our little one. Crafted by Carroll beautifully demonstrates how personal healing can transform into purposeful creation, offering mindful moments of light and memory for those navigating their unique journeys.
