Vegan on your Lips My coworker gave me this Lip Elixir today and the ingredient list reads like a recipe for salad dressing, everything is organic and natural- nothing unrecognizable or unpronouncable anywhere. The flavor, Chamomile Tangerine, is mild but a little waxy tasting on the lips. I wore it all day and...

A Little Light This chocolate seems to get around at all sort of Green events in little bite-size, individually wrapped nuggets. I am a chocolate fiend, and so I always grab a few from the bowl to fight of that afternoon nap urge. If you like medium-dark chocolate, this is for you. It is yummy and doesn't...

Honey-licious These bars are great for a honey-lover like myself. They are made with all sorts of great fruit and whole grains. They are tasty snacks but also make a great breakfast on the go. Definitely try them out!

Filter water bottle This water bottle is made from corn, with its own built-in filter to get rid of chlorine while you drink. The idea is grand, an instant purifier for thirsty folks on the go. My issue with this product is that while the bottle is compostable, I am not sure what becomes of the used filters. Also, it...

Mountains of the Moon The skirt I got from Mountains of the Moon is really comfortable and the material is not what I usually associate with hemp fabrics. The color offerings were so great I had trouble choosing one, but the brown/beige combo I have is a great piece to wear on its own or over pants. I will definitely...

Sticky Protection I bought this product after getting my hair dyed back to its natural brown color. The idea seemed like a good one- condition my fried hair while protecting it from the sun. Unfortunately, the theory of the product didn't translate into beautiful hair for me. After using this conditioner, my hair...

Be curly In my attempt to find an identity for my in-between curly and straight hair, I bought Aveda's Be Curly Enhancer. It is a leave-in conditioner type goo that you put on wet hair and when it dried is contracts to, you guessed it, enhance your curls. It smells fresh and clean, not overwhelming, and it...

Aveda pure-fume is one of those lovely freebies that I got for being a rewards card member. I went to the store and they let me smell every oil blend that they have, trying to find the one that best suited my senses. The bottle of Pure-Fume I came away with is a wonderful, light scent that picks...

It's a mossy, mossy, mossy world. Mascara is my beauty crutch. It is the one thing I won't leave the house without. So, when the time came to go for a non-toxic version of my favorite cosmetic, a friend recommended Mosscara. It works just as well as those toxic drugstore brands, and smells like you are on a hike in the forest...

Protect and refresh! This cruelty-free lotion protects from full-spectrum rays, while making my skin very happy. The shea butter and fruit extracts work wonders on my dry skin, and it is truly unscented without trying to be. I recommend this lotion to anyone who uses safflower-based moisturizers if you are looking for...
