We love all of the amazing independent designers out there. In order to find out more about just what makes all of these creative types tick, we present to you an ongoing segment called Indie Designer Interviews.

Next time you're in the mood to indulge your senses, try a handcrafted bath bar or lip balm from today's featured indie business, Soap That Makes Scents. These delightful handmade artisan soaps are 100% vegetarian-friendly and paraben free, and they're easy on your wallet.

Is pop star Leona Lewis, aka PETA's most sexy vegetarian, about to get her own Topshop line? British rag The Sun reports that Leona and Fashion Svengali Sir Phillip Green have a dinner scheduled, as soon as he gets back from his trip to Ibiza with Kate Moss.

Since she's young and beautiful, and he's old and rich, this can mean only one thing. They're collaborating on a new clothing line. (What did you think we meant?)

The notorious Kate is Sir Phillip's current celebrity designer cash cow, but she can't stay young forever. Leona's staggering success in the U.K. and the U.S., plus her broad appeal make her a very marketable choice.

Let's see: popular and pretty celebrity, trendy clothes, inexpensive price points...we're going out on a limb and predict this will make buckets of money for Sir Phillip, and one hopes for Leona. Oh, yes, and as The Sun points out, Simon Cowell, too.

Okay that sounded weird. What we mean is, sometimes the things you eat are reflected in your outward appearance.

Example 1. If you eat greasy pizza religiously, you face probably looks, well, like a pepperoni.

Example 2. If you eat fresh fruit like it's your job, your face probably looks juicy and fresh.

Got it? Good. Now, let's check in with Dr. Steph to see what foods will make your hair, nails, teeth, and teeth shine.

We have never been so smitten with a product before than Ojon's Restorative Treatment. We love, love, love this product. We've tried countless hair treatments and have raided the local Sephora far too many times but this... this stuff is the real deal.

We first heard about Ojon when our silly obsession with Gisele Bunchen's long mane brought us to the word. "Gisele uses Ojon. Must learn more." Apparently a little tribe in Central America called the Miskito Indians has been harvesting the fruits of the tree that bears the Ojon oil for centuries. When the tribe was discovered one of the first things noted was their stunning hair and skin. We mean, well... hot damn, just check out that kid's hair in the picture!

Still not convinced? Here are some more reasons you should totally give this stuff a whirl.

There is no denying the truth behind the phrase, "You are what you eat." A perfect example is the huge zit you always get after housing a greasy pizza. You can also put a positive spin on the saying and change the way you eat for good.

Summer is the best time to kick start better eating habits for your skin, hair, body, and even your mind. There is so much juicy fruit and yummy grilled chicken around that it's easier to say no to macaroni salad and the ice cream man.

In honor of Earth Day, we present the top five celebrities who use their fame to help make the earth a better place to live.

Our number one: Leonardo DiCaprio

The Vanity Fair green issue cover model and hybrid driver created the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation in 1998. He makes every effort to generate awareness of environmental issues, partnering with organizations that include Natural Resources Defense Council, Global Green USA, and the International Fund For Animal Welfare.

Check out the gallery to learn more about Leo's great efforts and see who else made our list of Eco Celebs.

Alicia Silverstone has always been an outspoken advocate for animal rights. The actress, who is best known for her role as Cher in the film Clueless, will soon appear in print and television ads for the animal rights group PETA wearing nothing but "her ideals". In the PETA PSA, Silverstone talks about the benefits of a meat-free lifestyle as she emerges from the pool in her birthday suit. See it here.

Sounds like a pretty convincing ad, doesn't it? I guess -- more so if it was, like, 1993!

So come on, PETA, I know you're better off than most leftist causes when it comes to creative marketing strategies, but couldn't you have at least tried to get Josh Hartnett?
