Most of us have a nice long list of stuff we want to try right? I do. You should see my bookmarks. I have guilt issues with this though. You really shouldn’t try LOADS of stuff. It’s more eco-friendly to find good products and stick to them. You tend to have less waste this way, [...]

I don’t wear foundation – I just don’t think it’s good for your skin; not even the green brands. It seems a little odd to put anything thick on in your pores. That said, I know that plenty of us want to cover some minor flaws, or even out skin tone. If you don’t want [...]

Winter lips aren’t always the most kissable. Winter air can dry your lips out and even make them flaky. Ick. You can have kiss ready; or pout ready (depending) lips by Valentine’s Day though.
1. Exfoliate: Try one of the following treatments…
You can use a small, soft, and slightly damp washcloth to rub your lips about [...]

My worst, non-green beauty habit is probably nail polish.
As a kid I used to bite my nails. I don’t bite them now, but I do mess around with them when I’m stressed. Nail polish stops me for some reason – maybe I think, “Hey I took the time to paint them, why mess them up” [...]

If you’re planning to glam it up on New Year’s, nothing is better than a little body sparkle. I used to be way into glitter (as in I probably needed a glitter self-help group). You know what though, it’s hard to find natural and organic shimmer products.
If you can’t find a product you like, you [...]

Buy refillable bottles and purchase bulk beauty items locally: If you live near a health food grocery store or a co-op, there’s a good chance they sell beauty care items in bulk. I like to try new eco-products in recyclable bottles, but for years I’ve refillable bottles that I refill with bulk shampoo, conditioner, body [...]
