What do your thoughts have to do with beauty? Everything. No matter what a woman looks like on the outside, if she lets negative thoughts run through her brain all day, she will not come across as appealing to others. We’ve all met a woman like this–a woman who’s beautiful by society’s standards, but the moment [...]

Maybe you’ve thought about switching from your regular drugstore brand eyeliner to something a bit more natural, but you’ve been concerned about the cost. I’ve seen “all-natural” eyeliners run as high as $30-40. That’s just way too much to spend on one little pencil. Well, let me offer a solution to your problem. I heard about [...]
Your Feet Will Thank You

Have you ever seen the As Seen On TV product Heeltastic? The one that promises to be the final solution for cracked, dry heels? I bought this after I was disappointed by several other products promising to make my feet smooth and ready-to-go for summer flip-flops. After trying Heeltastic for a few days I must [...]
Meet Sharron Pinheiro from Eve Organics

I’ve been very impressed with Eve Organics lately. They really know what they’re doing when it comes to creating beautifully rich-colored mineral eyeshadows and they’re a cut above other natural brands when it comes to educating the consumer about harmful ingredients in beauty products. I recently talked with Eve Organics founder Sharron Pinheiro to learn [...]
Pool Party

If you’re headed to the pool this month, don’t pack your drugstore brand sunscreen from last summer. Instead, throw it in the trash and buy an all-natural sunscreen such as the one from Soleo Organics. Studies show that the chemicals found in sunscreens are absorbed through the skin and end up circulating in the blood [...]
Bronze Babe

I have never been big on sunless tanners. A girl I knew in elementary school was one of the first people to get into the whole sunless tanning craze. She was known for being orange. I can still see her splotchy hands now. So maybe I subconsciously associate the practice of sunless tanning with her…and [...]
A Morning Shot of Tequila

If your shower contains a bar of soap with the words Dove, Dial, Irish Spring, Ivory or Lever 2000 etched into the center, it’s time to make a change. Maybe you’ve used the same brand for years and can’t even conceive of what I’m suggesting. Well, if you need some motivation, start by reading this. After [...]
Lather Up…Or Don’t

Since you use soap in the shower on a daily basis, it’s smart to check the ingredients of your favorite soap brand before rubbing it all over every square inch of your skin. When you read through the list, be on the lookout for these red flags… 1. If you see the word fragrance, it’s [...]
The Best Deli in Town
2 July, 2011 By Leave a Comment
If you know anything about me, you already know I’m a huge proponent of raw/natural foods. I have my certification in plant-based nutrition from Cornell and have taken half a year’s worth of “cooking lessons” from an all-raw chef. So it only makes sense that I would be extremely attracted to The Body Deli from [...]
The Great Sun Debate
14 June, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Summer is here and the Internet is drowning in articles about sun exposure and sunscreen…writers warning of the evils of the sun and the necessity of sunscreen all packaged in skin cancer statistics and delivered with a bow. If you’re as sick of it as I am, there’s good news: Much of what they say [...]
