Kate Hudson was on The View today.  I've always loved her movies and now I have more reasons to love her!  She was talking about how a friend of hers got breast cancer and afterwards Kate became really aware of the chemicals women put into their bodies just from beauty products.  Since then she's made the switch to using natural products.  Kate and ( Read more... )

Please don't go see 'Speed Racer'. Take a stand against chimpanzee abuse. And tell your friends / loved ones not to see this movie also.

My boyfriend used to use a Gillette Aftershave.  He REALLY liked it, but is looking to try something more natural and preferably vegan (he is a strict vegetarian now, and moving towards vegan).  I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of products that are moderately priced, as in he'll pay more for it, but not A LOT more ;)  Also, he would ( Read more... )

After googling for ages and being told that stealing is bad when I tried to find out how to henna my hair, I give up! I'm surprised, though. I tried homemade hair dye, organic hair dye, natural hair dye, how to henna my hair... amongst other ( Read more... )

what companies dont use animal products or test on animals (esentially vegan) cosmetic brands? skin care? shampoo?

Okay, for a long time now I've been cruelty-free with healthcare items like shampoos etc., but I used regular anti-perspirant deodarant as did my husband. He also used regular bar soap, like Irish Spring. We've been in the process of turning all products in the house green and have discovered that cruelty-free deodarants do not do what the others ( Read more... )

At the moment I've been using Aveeno Daily lotion (skin care products), Sugar Vanilla Fantasy body fragrance spray (by Parfums de Coeur), and Walgreens Baby powder. I'm a huge dog/ferret lover and realized, after all these years, I am doing them a disservice by buying some of these products. Are there any vanilla "perfumes", oatmeal lotions, and ( Read more... )
