Natural High Serenity Shawl

Kate joined the Natural High team over a year ago and has been eagerly embracing the Natural High Lifestyle ever since. Her extensive modeling career includes a six-year European tour, work in Japan and Hong Kong, ongoing campaigns with Natural High, Nike and Apple, spreads in Australian Elle, Australian Marie Claire, Shape, Fitness, Women's Health and Outside, and more. A self-proclaimed nomad, Kate fell in love with yoga ten years ago and has been privately teaching Ashtanga yoga in Thailand, Australia, New York, LA and Miami for the past four years.

"I try to make people more aware of what's inside instead of what's outside, and Natural High Lifestyle reinforces that effort," she says. "I love that the earthy colors make me feel more wholesome and naturally sexy with flattering styles that stretch and move with you. It's perfect for making you feel glad you've got what you've got, and that's what I'm about."

This month, bamboo's in the news!



DID YOU KNOW...

...Bamboo is actually a giant, woody grass.

...There are 1500 species of bamboo in the world (Environmental Bamboo Foundation).

...Bamboo has a tensile strength superior to mild steel and a weight to strength ration surpassing that of graphite, making it the strongest woody plant on Earth!

...Bamboo is highly sustainable. A sixty-foot tree cut for market takes 60 years to replace, while a sixty-foot bamboo cut for market takes only 59 days to replace (growing anywhere from 2 inches an hour to almost five feet a day!).

Bamboo is being used more and more for everything from food and furniture to construction, wood flooring, paper and even clothing like Natural High apparel. For more information on this amazing resource, check out the following websites:
