Glamorous Green Life - Earth Month

I meant to do this earlier in the month, but better late than never.This month is Earth Month, so I decided to do a post about organic beauty products, clothes and shoes.There are so many benefits associated with using organic products. Not only are we benefiting ourselves and our overall well being, but we help preserve the environment. Have any of you gone completely green? Or, have you partially committed to a green lifestyle? Maybe you drive a hybrid vehicle or recycle. As I see it, every small effort is good. I included some snazzy pieces of organic clothing below.They are made from organic fabrics.I am really fond of the pants and dresses.

Here are a few brands and companies that carry/make an array of organic products: Burt's Bees, Ulta, Target, DrugStore.com, physiciansformula, Yestocarrots, Skinstore, Blissworld, Sephora and Juiceorganics. You can pretty much find an organic version of any beauty product now a days, which includes, but is not limited to: hand soap, shampo, conditioner, makeup, lotion, face wash and moisturizer, body wash, and sanitizer. I am a big fan of Burt's Bees products.I have used their lip gloss, hand lotion and several other products that came in a gift set I received. I highly recommend their products. All their products are made from natural ingredients.The lip gloss is a great moisturizer.I typically use it twice a day.I must say, my lips remain chap free and soft.They also carry a tinted lip gloss.So, if you haven't tried any organic beauty products, I suggest you do.You might be pleasantly surprised by the results.

Great Expectations

Designer Rachel Roy and New York Knicks player Amare Stoudemire plan to work together to create a clothing line for women.The line will be exclusive to certain Macys stores. The clothing line will consist of casual pieces.I definitely plan to make a trip to a Macys to check out the line once it is released. I look forward to seeing the items from their line.The line is expected to debut later this year.

It's As Simple As Black And White

I mentioned in my last post how much I enjoy putting black and white clothing together.I think wearing black clothing with white clothing creates a edgy, yet polished look. As for the zebra pictures I included in the post, they really seemed appropriate. The colors of the zebra are so beautiful and they match the post's theme so well. I more so wanted to focus on the colors of the zebra and not the pattern.However, the pattern is so wonderful, I decided to include some zebra print items as well.You should try putting some black and white clothing together.It will create a sophisticated look.
