Argan Oil Cooperatives in Morocco: the Good, the Bad, and the Unbelievable When we visited Morocco in October of 2012, one of my main goals was to learn about the well-known women’s argan oil cooperatives in Morocco that exist everywhere in the southwest.

It seemed almost too good to be true that in a developing country, women were forging ahead and providing for their families comfortably and with pride. We started visiting the...

Late last year I was lucky enough to win not one, but THREE amazing dresses from the wonderful company, Matilda Jane Clothing. They sent me the same adorable Christmas dress in three sizes. I kept one for my daughter to wear this Christmas, and I've saved the others to send on to two lucky people! Matilda Jane's pieces have so much character -- just like little girls always do. If you are one of our two lucky winners, you will also get to enjoy some Saadia Organics Argan Oil and some other Moroccan Hammam (spa) Essentials. Please enter below. Best...

First, we'd like to thank everyone who has been donating.  The corner of my bedroom is piling up with bags of very cute and cozy PJs for Moroccan kids.  Many have included some great little toothbrushes and tubes of toothpaste, too.  Thank you so very much!  The Big Shipment will be sent by courier after Eden's birthday party next weekend.

Here is a little interview with Saadia conducted and translated by her son, Greg. (Joèl's husband). ~~~ How long have you been making Argan Oil? I have being making Argan Oil since I was 15 or 16 years old. I helped my mom make it for us to eat or for my father to sell in the market. How do you, personally, use your Argan Oil? I grew up using...
