Organic Style: Baby Sale for Eco Chick Readers!
Organic Style has some cute baby items, especially their gift baskets. The veggie teething rings are really well made and full of yummy organic cotton to chomp on. My kids have been playing with them for 17 months now and I will still look over and see someone with the…
Organic Stereo Cute Tunicness
Call me a kid, but I love the little-girl-in-a-tunic look that’s so prevalent this summer. I like wearing them over short-shorts since I’m a little tall to rock them purely as a dress, but I’m betting my more petite sisters could definitely get away with it. I like that I…
Miessence: Organic Food for My Skin
My personal quest to find a skin care line that isn’t toxic like most conventional skin products and WORKS is finally over! I recently discovered a brand, Miessence owned by Australian based company, ONE (Organic and Natural Enterprise) Group that perfectly fits those 2 needs. Since that time, I’ve become…
The Best Nonmilk Cappuccino EVER!
A thing of beauty, no? I’m so excited (or maybe it’s a caffeine buzz)! But I just made the best cappuccino I’ve ever had in my life (see above- I was so happy I took a damn picture of it). I recently bought a Bialetti Mukka glass cappuccino maker from…
Green Tahoe!
I hit up south Lake Tahoe this past weekend for some great hiking and R&R and was super happy I went. Right now is a great time to go since it’s right after the ski season has ended but before the summer crowd takes over the town (waay cheaper +…

You know, there was a time, when I was a teenager, that I used to love Neutrogena products. I had the idea that they were cleaner, purer and better for my skin and hair than other drugstore brands. I definitely fell for their shampoo that was supposed to clean all…
Truvia? Coming soon to supermarkets everywhere.
Today our food is over-processed and contains artificial ingredients and sweeteners. Reading the ingredients labels on most foods in the supermarkets makes me feel illiterate, Dimonowhat? Polyglycolichuh? Years ago everything contained sugar. Then saccharin (Sweet’N Low) came into vogue as a “dietetic” alternative to plain cane or beet sugar–remember TaB?…
Organic Booze?
My husband and I are not big drinkers but recently we both wanted a beer. In trying to make our home and lives greener, we decided to try an organic beer. On a recommendation from a Whole Foods employee, we bought Peaks Organic Amber Ale. The beer was tasty and…

Pronounced “chee-la,” the name is Cherokee for ‘flower.’ The Tsi~La fragrances seek to combine exotic notes of ylang ylang, citrus, bergamot, lavender, vanilla,…
Green in Paris
So I think I have used up my allotment of fossil fuels for at least the remainder of this year, or more likely the next decade. Why? My husband surprised me with a birthday trip to Paris last weekend. Americans have a love/hate relationship with the French. So of course…
