Ready to get your glow on? We can help you do so, from the inside out. Beauty is, as the saying goes, more than skin deep. It comes from having a certain “glow” about us, which occurs when we are taking care of ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This week’s guests included Akari Medi-Spa Director Eliza Harris and Aesthetician Christina Sterling, Lisa Brodar, founder of Portland General Store, and Barbara Gulino who discussed the charitable efforts of Whole Foods Market (Portland).

Lisa Brodar
Lisa Brodar founded the Portland General Store with Troy Tyler in 2007 as the first heritage, natural skincare line for the well made man and woman. Lisa became very interested in sustainable living several years ago. As a part of that discovery process, Lisa happened upon some vintage soap and perfume recipe books and a collection of antique, Czechoslovakian pharmacy bottles. These were her creative inspiration! Her experimentation began with creams and bath salts and led, eventually, to today’s line of products, made from simple, natural ingredients using time-tested methods. According to Lisa, “We take no shortcuts and don’t use the fragrance oils and chemical additives which are commonly found today. Our products and their packaging have an earnest quality which comes from their hand-crafted nature and the ‘authenticity’ we seek in our lives and what we do. This theme is resonating with a wide audience, especially in today’s tumultuous times!”
Lisa holds a BFA in Illustration from the Art Institute of Boston and has worked as a producer and marketing executive in NYC. Portland General Store will be featured in the November issue of Maine magazine.
