My life has been overflowing with all things amazing and joyful and I wanted to start 2012 by sharing them with you! My latest and most precious life-change has been the arrival of my daughter, Savanna Dawn, born this summer on June 29th. Much of 2011 was spent enjoying my pregnancy and nurturing Savanna as she grows and changes with every day. She illuminates my world and has brought joy to my family in ways that are truly indescribable. During this time I have been creatively inspired and continue to work on all aspects of the company, specifically developing new products (my favorite part!), such as my newest formulation that just launched this winter – Spontaneous Recovery Crème. I can’t say enough about this crème-serum-oil in one and its incredible ability to transform the skin after a single application. I developed this product for my clients whose skin needs moisture, hydration & protection on the deepest cellular level – it is my most intensive crème to-date and has been dubbed the “Aspen Crème” by my clients for its abilities in extreme climates (such as the extra TLC skin needs après ski!). During its testing phase I brought this product with me on my travels to and it replenished my skin immediately and was my secret weapon against cold weather and 15 hour flights – I used it religiously on my own skin as well as everyone in my family. I am so excited to now be sharing it with you! I look forward to sharing and discovering together all the wonderful things 2012 has in store for us all….
New Baby, New Products, New Year!
January 24th, 2012OUR NEW HOME: BLUEMERCURY
November 14th, 2011
One of my favorite parts of spreading my message of holistic living is being able to connect with people. I recently had the wonderful opportunity to do just that with the official launch of the Tammy Fender collection within the coveted walls of two incredible bluemercury locations! I am so excited to have extended our Tammy Fender family to the teams in Shrewsbury, New Jersey and the Upper West Side store in NYC. Walking into each store I was transported to a dream-world of all things feminine & beautiful, filled with happiness to see our products gracing the shelves and ready to transform the skin of the bluemercury clientele. We spent wonderful days with each team – they are all official Tammy Fender gurus and will take the best care of you as you begin your Tammy Fender journey to amazing, glowing skin radiating from the inside out. We are looking forward to planning in-store events and appearances at these locations so stay tuned for updates….thank you, bluemercury! We love being a part of your family!
REVEAL: ABC HOME’S NEW BLOG
November 2nd, 2011Beauty, Wellness, and Wisdom: Tammy Fender
Tammy Fender’s namesake skincare line employs the inherent restorative qualities of pure, plant-based elements to create inner and outer radiance. By using the living parts of a plant – the “life force” if you will – Tammy’s products nourish the skin on a cellular level, literally feeding it with food-grade ingredients. She explains, “You’re utilizing that life force onto another life force – and creating homeostasis and harmony within the body.” And considering the skin is so transdermal (“You can rub garlic on your feet and taste it in your mouth almost immediately,” she comments) creating balance – or imbalance – can be achieved with the application of topical products.
Yet the physical benefits of her skin and body line are only part of her overall holistic stance on wellness. She explains, “I’m working on not only the physical level, but the psychological, emotional, spiritual level.” She continues, “For example, our antioxidant creme: it’s a multivitamin in a jar, wonderful for all skin types. For this product, we utilize an ingredient that is a sweet orange from Sicily. It has the ability to absorb into the skin at a cellular level, producing a swelling effect on the cells and helping them retain nourishment and moisture. But it goes even deeper than that. The combination and synergy in the product is a natural antidepressant. So it has a very uplifting effect on the psyche and on the person as a whole.”
1. bulgarian rose water cleanser
2. intensive repair balm
3. essential c tonic
4. firming eye gel – elderflower & green myrtle
5. quintessential serum
6. bulgarian lavender body oil
7. antioxidant creme – neroli orange
8. capillary strengthening blend
Examples like this are endless; in reality, all of Tammy’s products are formulated with a larger holistic goal in mind. She tells us, “As you start to delve deeper into our philosophy, and what the products are, even if they are very streamlined and very simple – like lavender essence – they are working on all levels.” But perhaps what is most refreshing about Tammy Fender is her acknowledgment that everyday health can be achieved through the smallest, simplest of steps. As ABC Home is situated in the center of arguably the most frenetic and high-stress city in the world, we were curious to tap her for easy tips to stay calm, healthy, and happy. Tammy’s beauty, wellness, and wisdom advice, below.
Remember to breathe. “The simplest one, which is a power tool we carry with us all time, is our breath. When you breathe in, just visualize the brilliant white light going in through every inhale – cleansing, healing, bathing every cell, every atom and everything about you. As you breathe out just start to visualize what no longer serves you, what you no longer want or need in your life… leaving your body through the exhale.”
Try a smile. “No matter how you’re feeling in a day, try putting a smile on your face. Your body releases endorphins through a smile. It will completely change whatever it is you may be feeling stressed about it. It’s so simple. And usually, someone will smile back.”
Find a word. “Maybe something that you’d call a mantra, and you can use that word whenever you need it. Maybe ‘relax,’ or ‘I am at peace,’ or ‘I am.’ When you say that word, you automatically and simultaneously relax at that fraction of that second. There may be times when you have to say it a thousand times a day, but you will start to find that you’ll get into this groove of relaxing.”
Simplify. “If you can start to really simplify: simplify your thoughts, then simplify your life. For example, whenever you have the opportunity, have an organic piece of fruit or vegetable. It doesn’t have to be an elaborate thing. The same thing holds true in skincare. You don’t have to worry about, ‘If I don’t use 5 or 6 products it won’t work.’ You can get by with one thing, with one product, and then slowly start to add new things into that routine. Soon enough, people find it’s so simple – they’ve lost the complexity of being so mainstream!”

February 14, 2011 – LOVE
February 14th, 2011
To intentionally spend time focusing your energy on love and its power is a beautiful and profound experience. I often remind myself in times of distress or difficulty that “everything is love.” Those simple words offer comfort and the knowledge that peace may be found in simply giving yourself up to love. A consistent and ancient belief held by man down through the ages is that the body is a physical manifestation of energies located in seven centers of the human body. These centers are called chakras, meaning “wheels of energy,” that are always open and in complete harmony. In honor of the perfection of love, my words today are in celebration & exploration of the heart chakra – the energies that govern the heart & feelings of love – the core of our physical & spiritual center. Through this chakra, we open to and connect with harmony & peace – wholeness, boundless love and a wellspring of compassion, creating balance between body, mind and spirit. The energies from the heart chakra harmonize the immune and endocrine systems; the radiation produced by love flow can heal the entire body. A deep and profound joy of life is found in the recognition that everything in our lives flows from the heart. Once we have manifested this in our own lives, we begin to receive from others what we have already seen and created in ourselves – love.
Be love in each moment, for it is your truest self. Happy Valentine’s Day:)

Health, Harmony & Beauty in 2011

Health, Harmony & Beauty in 2011
The beginning of a new year is symbolic in many ways – it marks a time of inner reflection, a focused awareness on what you want to manifest in your life – forming intentions that will create lasting change.
How will you maintain a connection to your deepest sense of divine inner guidance? Listen. Pause. Be Present with all things and immerse yourself in the clarity of heart & mind that is always there – allow each moment to be a reflection of your highest self. This focused attention should not be reserved for the beginning of a new year, rather embrace it in each moment, and realize that with every breathe we begin anew.
Following the path….
- I start each day with an intentional pause & gratitude, followed by my personal mantra (an affirmation to bring about change & enhance your spiritual growth and well-being) to set my daily intention. It is important to create a mantra that is specific to your life, an example might be – “I am healthy, joyful and open to the abundance of positive events life offers to me.”
- I am mindful of my thoughts throughout the day, understanding how they directly shape my life. I will think positive of myself, others and the world – being joyous and grateful for my life and the lives of others.
- I nourish my body with Living Foods in their most natural state to ensure a diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins and nutrients. I will incorporate juice therapy (one of my favorite cleansing combinations is spinach, cucumber, apple, lemon & ginger) and raw meals as much as possible (I love a quick kale salad with pine nuts, pears & craisins topped with olive oil and lemon).
- I engage in exercise to increase circulation and bring oxygen to the cells – promoting cell renewal that aids in toning the skin and releasing positive endorphins.
- I meditate (while exercising or in the line at the grocery store!) or for 10 minutes in a quiet space, recognizing that health and beauty are cultivated from within.
- I laugh as often as possible – laughter is one of nature’s greatest beautifiers.
- I reduce lifestyle stresses in each day by finding time to slow down, take deep breathes and allow clarity to reveal itself.
- I come from a place of authenticity and love, for myself and all beings everywhere, for that is what brings me peace in each day.

Tammy Fender Spreads Her Wings
October 1st, 2010VOGUE’s Style.com Covets New Tammy Fender Holistic Lifestyle Products
For those of you who have grown to rely on Tammy Fender’s holistic skincare line for natural, handmade solutions to all of your complexion issues, some good news: The Florida-based aesthetician-to-the-stars is adding lifestyle offerings to her standout product range. Beginning this Friday, Fender will introduce the Purist, an antibacterial dry hand wash with echinacea, goldenseal, and tea tree extracts to cleanse impurities on the go; and the Lip Guardian, a lavender cacao-based balm with organic rosehip seed oil for a fragrant bit of nourishment. Most exciting to our immediate needs, though, is Fender’s haircare duo, as we are hurting for a new shampoo and conditioner regimen. The Restorative Hair Cleanser boasts a soothing aroma of rosemary and nettle while the Revitalizing Hair Moisturizer utilizes olive and jojoba oils for a soft, lustrous finish. Each new item packs 100 percent botanical, food-grade formulas that also feature Ecocert-approved natural preservative systems, not to mention spiritual benefits. According to Fender, double-timing the shampoo and conditioner will “foster a sense of harmony” and “create a sense of completeness”—two things we’re happy to add to our morning shower ritual.
