Thank you for supporting this site with purchases made through links in this post.

Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil

  This is Day 17 of the Green in 365 series! A typical complaint during the winter months is dry skin. Between being indoors most of the day with the heat running, and the lack of humidity in the air, our skin needs extra pampering during the winter months. But, that doesn't have to mean slathering on lotions and creams that are full of toxic chemical ingredients. There are many ways to safely and naturally moisturize your skin during the winter months. • Use Castile Soap in … [Read more...]

Your Way this week talking about beauty products you can find in your kitchen. From the post: When my friend first told me about the EWG’s Cosmetic Safety Database several years ago, I basically did the equivalent of a three-year old covering their ears and chanting, “I’m not listening, I’m not … [Read more...]

Homemade Natural Face Cleanser — The Oil Cleansing Method

January 13, 2012 By Emily McClements
Thank you for supporting this site with purchases made through links in this post.

Photo by Taras Kalapun {This post was originally posted on Jan. 24, 2011} Using oil to "wash" your face seems counter-intuitive, right? Especially if you already have oily skin! I feel very blessed that I've always had fairly good skin, without many breakouts. For awhile, I struggled with dry and tight skin and I constantly had to slather on moisturizer, especially in the winter time. However, my luck ran out when my typically normal skin started freaking out on me about a year … [Read more...]

Heathy Green Pregnancy – It Starts Now!

December 5, 2011 By Emily McClements
Thank you for supporting this site with purchases made through links in this post.

  Like many mamas out there, I first started to become aware of the effects of chemicals and toxins in my environment when I was pregnant with my first child. When you first find out you are pregnant, the reality of the responsibility that you now hold to grow and sustain this new life often brings with it a greater awareness of the world around you. And it is definitely true that laying a good foundation for the future health and well-being of your child begins while they are … [Read more...]

How to use castile soap at LiveRenewed.com

So you've heard of Castile Soap, but you may be wondering: What in the world is it? and How to use castile soap? This post is for you! "MOM! I need you to make some more soap!" my youngest yells to me from the bathroom. We're out of hand soap and she needs to wash her hands. I grab two bottles from under the sink, turn on the water, and less than 30 seconds later I have a full container of foaming hand soap ready for her to use. What's my secret? Castile soap. You'll be surprised at all … [Read more...]

*Warning: If you are male, you probably don't need (or want) to read this post.  This one's for the ladies only! Photo from Crea8tiveMama on Etsy Guest Post by Kate from Modern Alternative Mama: Many of you mamas out there probably did or do cloth diaper your babies.  We all know about the benefits of that; Emily has written about it quite a lot!  But while this seems to make sense to many of us, using cloth for ourselves – also known as “mama cloth”, for our menstrual cycles – seems … [Read more...]

FAQ – How To Use Coconut Oil

February 28, 2011 By Emily McClements
Thank you for supporting this site with purchases made through links in this post.

Photo by Koshy Koshy The first time I opened a container of coconut oil, I thought, "What is that?"  When you're used to cooking with vegetable or canola oil, or using conventional lotions and beauty products, coconut oil can seem a little intimidating at first. But whether you're using it for baking or for beauty care, coconut oil is one of the most multifunctional natural products that you can buy.  Although it isn't cheap, you can find good deals when you buy it in bulk, and it will be … [Read more...]
