A few great natural products i’ve recently fallen in love with for my uber sensitive skin:

Sunshine Spa’s Brown Sugar Scrub Mango Ginger: this organic brown sugar scrub is amazing! I have super sensitive skin and this scrub leaves my skin smooth and happy after shaving. Contains lots of great oils and organic sugar. Really tasty [...]

As I think I’ve mentioned before, one of my biggest enviro-sins is bathing. That is, I love long showers, swimming-pool like baths, hot tubs, pools, the ocean, lakes, puddles and running through sprinklers (I think it comes from my Australian roots of being a die-hard swimmer).

I just made the best hair mask ever! My locks get seriously dry in the summer (moreso because I’m a swimming fiend, in and out of salt water, pools, lakes– basically anything deeper than my knees qualifies for swimming in) and my usual extra-strength conditioner is not doing the trick at all.

Inspired by a lack of hip, organic baby products on the market, Diana Lussenden Stewart founded the BABYBEARSHOP line of organically derived oils and butters for mama and baby. In an effort to create a body line that is free of parabens, phthalates, and other known toxins, Diana has succeeded in developing a yummy line [...]

Being pregnant with twins made me want to seek out the healthiest, enviro-friendly baby products. I came accross a business that is right here in my home state - Our Green House in Newtown, CT. Started by Pam and Michael Davis, the business came from the desire to find healthy, ecologically viable products to use [...]

I don’t usually just come on and link to things, but this is just way too cool!!

A totally recyclable, tree-free book!! I wish there was some sort of way that I could trade in ALL of my books for these ones! I lost an entire copy of Watership Down because of a bathtub accident. Check [...]
