hello, friends

April 25, 2013 by philosophy

fun in the sun

July 25, 2014 by philosophybeauty

here comes the sun, and not a moment too soon! sunshine can be like your own personal mood lifter – and after a cold, rainy winter and spring, it’s definitely what the doctor ordered. it’s been known to relieve depression, inspire a bright, healthy outlook, and when exposed to sunlight, skin even synthesizes vitamin d (which helps strengthen bones). but even though soaking up the sun feels fabulous, there are a few sunshine-protecting tips you should take into account, first […]

it’s our birthday month!

March 5, 2014 by philosophy

we’re celebrating 18 years young all month long. join us as we say happy birthday to some of our core products, like purity made simple and hope in a jar. happy birthday purity! purity made simple was one of the first philosophy products. we haven’t changed it since. we didn’t need to. it cleanses, tones and lightly hydrates in one simple step. oh yeah, and it removes makeup too. fun fact: purity made simple was originally named real purity. happy […]

what really matters? people matter.

February 7, 2014 by philosophy

from all our years of living, we could sum up the answer to what really matters in just one word: people. life, love and the pursuit of happiness all spur from the energy of some very special people. whether it’s you, pushing yourself to quit a job that isn’t serving you, or your better half waking you up to tell you that it’s saturday and it’s snowing. it’s the people we keep close who matter. sometimes it’s easy to lose […]

we believe love is a journey, and a fragrance is a lovely way to cherish the moments along the way. the beauty of love is that everyone describes it differently. a few months ago, philosophy girl devon rachel shared her love story with us, and we knew we had to share it with you. read on to hear how she describes the loves of her life. Are you in love? Have you ever been in love? I’m talking about […]

philosophy: let the world see you not your makeup

February 5, 2014 by philosophy

new from philosophy, makeup that looks so real people will say, “your skin looks amazing,” instead of, “what foundation are you wearing?” born from our belief that the best cosmetic is great looking skin, we bring you virtually weightless foundation makeup that performs like skin care and makes your skin better simply by wearing it, even after you take it off. makeup so good, no one will know you are wearing any, our skin-loving collection of makeup is designed to […]

life is a classroom: giving grace

January 7, 2014 by philosophy

in this world, people are meant to help people. we don’t need to look for situations where we can extend ourselves with an open heart, we only need to wait, for they will appear when someone needs us most. no act of kindness is too small, and one of the most graceful acts is to give with the sole purpose of spreading love, expecting nothing in return. after all, giving is the greatest act of grace. let’s take a moment […]

turning a page in the new year

January 2, 2014 by philosophy

one of the most beautiful things about life is the opportunity to write our own story. at the end of another year, what chapter are you on? a wandering soul trying to dance in the rain; a love story nearing its happily ever after; a career man turned family man – we’re all living a beautifully different chapter. chapters begin, and chapters end. they begin in order to teach us things about ourselves we didn’t know we needed to learn, […]

happy holidays

December 19, 2013 by philosophy

it is one of our favorite times of year, it’s a season of celebration, giving and gratitude. at the philosophy headquarters in phoenix, we celebrate with gingerbread houses, christmas sweaters and treats to nurture our bellies. we give gifts to those we love and we give our time to those in need. but most importantly, we are filled with gratitude. the holiday festivities wouldn’t be possible without the generosity and thoughtfulness of the people in our lives who make things […]

thoughts on gratitude

November 27, 2013 by philosophy

as we head into this time of thanksgiving, dear philosophy girls and boys, we reflect on the small miracles of life that give us so many reasons to be thankful. the opportunity to be part of your life is truly a blessing we at philosophy cherish. while we hope our bottles and packaging provide you with daily inspiration, it is you who inspires us to write the words you see. it is this circle of grace that motivates us to […]
