June’s Green Goddess of the Month – Hayley Mac

Hayley Mac

Be SuperNatural Founder

By Aida Tarzi

Eating raw vegan food is a cleaner way to eat and ultimately a cleaner way to live according to Be Supernatural founder, Hayley Mac. As shocking as it may sound, much of what we consume today is no longer technically considered food.

Super organic

Be Supernatural products are organic, raw, fair-trade, and vegan with the exception of bee products. The food products are 100 percent organic: no preservatives, bulking agents, flavour enhancers or any types of chemical

are added. Minimal processing occurs at low temperatures and therefore maintains the integrity of the… Continue reading

Interviewed by Aida Tarzi

HAND-STITCHED WITH LOVE

Margaux, a savvy consultant for McKinsey & Company, knows a thing or two about women’s empowerment and the value of being independent. On her many trips across Africa and Asia she’s met highly talented women who could hand-stitch beautiful garments. All they needed was a platform to sell their creations. And then Babouka was born…
