Happy New Year Everyone!
I hope the holidays were filled with all the things you love best, whatever they may be.
I love the holidays because I feel like right around the corner we can leave it all behind and start with a clean slate: New Years. They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and I cannot think of anything more well-intentioned than the New Years Resolution. We all have them, regardless if we share them or not. And every year, it never fails, all those glossy magazines, billboards, and TV advertisements have a say in what your resolution is going to be.
This New Year, I challenge you to make a beauty resolution that will impact more than just your product collection. I challenge you to replace one current beauty fav with an eco friendly version. I'm not asking you to give up the only hairspray that will lift your limp locks into the heavens. But what about your daily body lotion? I've recently switched to Pangea Organics Hand and Body Lotions, and am obsessed! I love that the packaging comes with seeds embedded that when watered and buried, begin to sprout a basil plant! How awesome is that? You get your lotion and your spaghetti ingredients in one package! What about your lip balm? Body wash? Even tarte carries a great mascara called Tree Hugger (who's packaging is made from recycled aluminum)
Throwing out product is not the ultimate goal. Too much has been used on packaging, manufacturing, and shipping (not to mention your hard-earned dollars) on getting that product to you in the first place. I'm simply suggesting that next time you make a beauty run, you scope out your local green options. Because of the increased demand for environmentally friendly products, beauty companies are refining, expanding, and improving on their offerings which leaves the rest of us in a great position to take advantage of their green goodness! Consider this your formal invitation to get trendy and get green. And if you love your resolution, it's really not that hard to keep.
