It’s Only Natural

Montecito fashion designer Kendall Conrad hosted a cocktail and dinner bash outside her achingly trendy Village Mart store for her friend Shiva Rose and her new 304-page tome, Whole Beauty: Daily Rituals and Natural Recipes for Lifelong Beauty and Wellness.

Shiva, who lives in the Santa Monica Mountains, has created an eponymous line of all-natural, non-toxic skincare products, as well as launching Local Rose, a popular lifestyle website.

The colorfully illustrated book took her two years to write using knowledge she has gleaned over the past decade.

“It is a guide to finding a deeper connection to life and self,” she explained. “It is quite spiritual.”

Among the beauty buffs jamming the store’s concourse were Montecito Village Mart owner Jim Rosenfeld, Beatrix Ost, David Cameron, Michael and Kimberley Phillips, Lisa Taylor, Blue Caleel, Nati Smith, and Paul and Jane Orfalea.
