She has been featured in Shape, GenLux and Natural Solutions and quoted in Elle, Self, Women’s Health, Ladies Home Journal, Good Housekeeping,The Los Angeles Times, Vegetarian Times, Natural Health and Whole Life Times Magazine.

Now Paige is driving the conversation further focusing on sustainability. "Non-Toxic is great but it's not enough anymore. We need to move past that to really get where we need to be environmentally. We must focus on sustainability". So she created Paige Lifestyle, LLC, a carefully edited selection of sustainable beauty and wellness essentials tailored for everyday life. Blurring the line between skin care and makeup our products are innovative, easy-to-use and highly multifunctional to fit your lifestyle.
