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 […]

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, […]
