Hollywood's In the Bag

When the stars start rocking it, it's probably on its way to popularity. I'm sure that's what two Charlotte business partners are hoping. Ann Francke and Barry King co-founded Beautorium, an online marketplace for natural and organic beauty products and accessories, and one of their trademark items is being used by some Hollywood elite.

Aimee Teegarden, star of Friday Night Lights, carrying an "I Am A Natural Bag" by Beautorium at a recent Hollywood event.

The Beautorium Natural Bag was used recently at the MTV Movie Awards and the Hollywood NOTE Foundation's Change the World Humanitarian Awards, to put the SWAG (stuff we all get) in that the celebrities received. The Beautorium Natural Bag is a reusable shopping bag made from eco-friendly fairly traded burlap. The bags are a great substitution to receiving paper or plastic bags when you're out shopping--think about how you could help the environment if you don't have to take home those huge bags you get from department stores and shopping malls.

You can get the bag free if you order at least $50 worth of products from Beautorium. Visit www.beautorium.com for more details.
