Victoria's Secret Jumps on the Natural & Organic Beauty Wagon

Didn't I say big companies were making headway with the organic and green movement? Victoria's Secret has just introduced their Pink body line of beauty products which is 100% vegan and organic and natural (which is probably implied when they state it's vegan and organic). I have to say for the most part my loyalties are to Burt's Bees, Whole Foods, or Trader Joes, but I love that each day there are more and more options for those of us who want to live a "green" lifestyle. Also, it's really affordable. Just thought I'd fill you in!

Freecyle= free + recycling!

Do you freecycle? I do. Freecycling is a conglomeration of regional yahoo groups who post daily or whatever whenever they have any items that they are giving away, don't have use for anymore, etc. For example, I had some old clothes I was done with so I posted it to freecycle- it emails out the members in the yahoo group and then the first person to email me picks it up and it's theirs for free! It's fun and cool. You should do it too. It's really easy. This week I picked up a barely used ikea shelf from a woman down the street from me. All you have to do is visit the website http://www.freecycle.org/

Community Supported Agriculture

So, you wanna really be green? Or really support local business? You might already go to the farmer's market, but if you really want to help out your local farms- you could consider becoming part of a local CSA. Where you have basically purchased a share of the summer's harvest and fresh produce is sent directly to your home each week.

Hurry because lots of farms need you to sign up within the next week or so to become a part of this summer's take!
