Welcome to Organic Envy! After launching Organic Spa Magazine in January 2007, we felt it was time to open the doors to communication even further. The mission of the magazine is to bring spa wisdom home, as well as to highlight the spas that are leading the organic way. Is there something special you do to find that elusive balance we all seek? We love to share ideas and exchange thoughts revolving around a healthier planet and a healthier you. Please join us in the conversation.

Dear Organic Envy Reader,
Whether you already enjoy the Organic Spa Magazine or you happen to be a first time visitor I hope you look around and decide to make this your home. As someone who appreciates nature and a great spa I instantly fell in love with the Organic Spa Magazine and their mission. Organic to me means living your life at your healthiest and protecting the environment around us for the next generations to come. My focus has always been on looking and feeling good. The organic lifestyle and spas can most definitely help to deliver on living a healthier and a more beautiful life. I enjoy writing and discovering different ways to help the planet and others around me, do not be shy to contact me as I read and answer all comments and emails. The support from our readers is extremely valued and appreciated.
A little about me: I spent a portion of my childhood growing up in Eastern Europe, where there is no shortage of nature or natural spa resorts. My current home is in New York City. I love the city for all its diverse places and
mix of cultures. In a city like New York it is possible to discover something new every day. I studied fine arts and fashion. My fascination with art, fashion and the enjoyment of surrounding myself with beauty has naturally led me to writing and spas. In a place that is extremely busy and anxiety driven keeping a peaceful state of mind can be hard. This is when living the organic spa lifestyle pays off.
Organic Spa Magazine is an amazing tool if you seek a greener and a forward-thinking lifestyle. The magazine’s Editor in Chief, Mary Bemis, has given me extremely valuable advice as well as input for the blog. The devotion she places into everything she does reflects in her sharp knowledge of what is current and trendy in the spa and organic world. Her exceptional eye for all that is beautiful translates into the kind of publication the Organic Spa Magazine has become and will continue to grow into.
Mary Bemis is the Founder and Editor in Chief of Organic Spa Magazine, a national consumer lifestyle publication launched in January 2007. A well-respected spa expert, Mary has 
covered the spa industry since penning her first spa feature nearly 20 years ago. In 1997, she launched American Spa magazine where she served as Editor in Chief, and in 2004 she went on to help launch New Beauty magazine as its Spa Editor. This was followed by contributing editorships at Luxury SpaFinder and Spa magazines. In 2005, she founded www.insidersguidetospas.com. As a spa expert, Mary speaks regularly on spa and wellness trends and has appeared on numerous television and radio programs, including CBS’s Early Show, CNN’s Headline News, the Style Network, HGTV, Fox Health Network, and Lime Radio.
