Reclaiming what style means and celebrating beauty that's healthy and fun!
Hi there, lovely readers! We wanted to take a moment today to wish you all a happy, safe, feelgood new year. It’s been a wonderful 2010, and that is thanks to you! Eco-friendly beauty is our passion, and we’re so glad to have a community here where we can share that with all of you.
With most smoky-eyed fetes behind us, I have really been craving a fresh, simple makeup look for day to day. Lean, clean, and bright. For an easy and energetic everyday look, check out my favorite all natural essentials of the moment.
We made it! Christmas is past, and now’s the time to regroup and recover. Did you have some clothing and accessories in your stocking this year that you’re not going to wear? Rather than brave the stores to return unwanted gifts, you can throw a naked lady party and trade up while you unwind with your best girlfriends!
There are a slough of reasons to look into where our clothing comes from, and one important thing to research is where those garments are made.
In the case of Abercrombie and Fitch along with several other common brands, it looks like at least part of their production took place in a dangerous Bangladesh sweatshop where a fire burned more than 24 workers alive last week

Hi there! I'm Becky Striepe, a green crafter and vegan foodie living in Atlanta, Georgia with my husband and two cats. My mission is to make eco-friendly crafts and vegan food accessible to anyone who wants to give them a go.
Founder/Editor of OrganicBeautySource.com online directory of nontoxic organic beauty products.
Safe cosmetics advocate, writer, researcher.
Mother of two little environmentalists who can already spot a toxic product when they see one.
I remember crafting when I was younger, but I didn't really start again until I was in my 20's. Now that I have, I can't imagine turning back! I live in Chicago, IL with my husband and 2 kitties. Embroidery is my top craft (at the moment) but I also love paper crafting, clay work, using power tools, and re-imagining ordinary thrift store finds into fun projects.
I’m a twenty something who got caught up in the stories of people, and, while caught on their stories, made a commitment to helping change their lives.
It took awhile to figure out where I was going to land, and how I was going to do it, but, post six transfers, 15 moves and five trips overseas, I decided to take my journalism degree out on a limb, and create a social enterprise that would not only open the doors for me to help Ugandan women struggling from the effects of AIDS and abuse, but would allow me to write about what I really care about: people.
