i love coconuts, love the smell, love the taste, love everything about them. i am really loving barleans coconut oil. i picked this up at the morgantown coop. it's cold pressed, extra virgin and 100% organic. it's perfect for cooking, a hair conditioner, in lieu of lotion, and for massaging. what's not to love?!

tell me, how do you love your coconuts?

my dear friend lela makes beauty products with all natural ingredients. in fact, it couldn't be anything but naturally lela!

my favorite product right now is her "peach fuzz and ginger buzz" lip balm. she has a wide array of lip balms to choose from: sunshine, mystical mint, berry embellished, perfectly plain, mint chocolate lips, nouveau espresso, berry mocha and vanilla chai. all are reasonably priced between $3 - $4. she has more green beauty products on her website and more are being concocted all the time. i highly recommend everything she makes!

you can check her fabulous products at naturally lela's online store or if you are local you can purchase her products at bliss bliss bliss. be sure to become a fan on her facebook page as well.

i am always on the look out for a good mascara. i recently came across the physicians formula organic wear 100% natural origin mascara and i am loving it!

according to their website it is:

- 100% free of harsh chemicals, synthetic preservatives, parabens, clumping, smudging, flaking, fibers & dyes

- 100% recyclable eco-brush defines each lash with ultra-soft plastic bristles.

if you are looking for a more green, eco-friendly, and awesome mascara i highly recommend this one!

receiving gifts of green

in full earth day fashion, my sweet friend, city girl, wrote about cafepress and carbonfund on her blog here. carbon fund sent her an adorable carbon neutral recycled green t-shirt. yes, i said recycled.

when city girl received the shirt she thought of passing it along to me. (see, i told you she was sweet.) i am ever grateful. i thought i would show it off for you guys. it may be recycled but it is as comfy as a good t-shirt should be.

this photo was taken really late (note the crazy hair) but the shirt still looks fabulous!

Clean Well

with all these germs floating around this year i am trying to keep from getting sick, yet again. it seems to be worse this year for some reason. i'm not a huge fan of purell for many reasons but i knew it did the job. a friend recommended i try clean well, a green hand sanitizer. i am a changed woman. i love this stuff! it's an all-natural hand sanitizer made with ingenium. it's alcohol free, cruelty free, with no harsh or toxic chemicals. 'nuff said!

you can check them out at http://www.cleanwelltoday.com/, i can't wait to try all their products. i heart green products!!

let me know if you've tried clean well and if so what your thougths are and any other favorite green products you currently use or want to try.
