TED – Ideas worth spreading

TED.com is a recent discovery in the Cult Beauty office. A brilliant nonprofit organisation dedicated to the sharing and spreading of ideas. Whether through conferences around the globe, or for those of us who aren’t Al Gore… their website, TED offers free knowledge and inspiration from the world’s most inspired thinkers. A community of curious and creative souls that share their thoughts on how to improve the way we do things, as individuals on a small scale as well as starting international movements.

I highly recommend watching the presentation below by fly-posting, French, photographer JR, who just won this years TED Prize… alexia inge

TED is an ever-evolving work in progress, and you’re an important part of it. Have an idea yourself or want to recommend a speaker for one of their conferences click here.

Currently on maternity leave, raising Cult Beauty’s honorary ‘word nerd’, Tabitha, she speaks fluent ‘beauty’ and loves nothing more than the marriage of language and lip balm (and cleanser and candles… ad infinitum).

You can trust her to debunk widespread beauty myths and dispense invaluable advice with ease…
