Aveda as we all know is a leader in the beauty industry and sets the standard for environmentalism… and they have done it again!

In place of bottled water backstage, on stage, offstage, wherever, Aveda has provided liter-size non-toxic aluminum water bottles that you can reuse instead of just tossing in the trash and going for another plastic bottle.

To quote Aveda’s President Dominique Conseil, “Historically, the fashion community has been on the forefront of social change. As a creative, trend-setting force, we believe fashion can have a ripple effect on the global environmental conscience by greening their backstage presence. We are hopeful that this is the beginning of an industry wide commitment to the environment.”

Think about it, we didn’t grow up drinking bottled water right??? This is just one way you can get involved and start making a change. Go Green, everyone is!!!

One of the leaders in the effort to better the environment and raise awareness is Aveda. I have personally been using Aveda hair and cosmetic products for about ten years now and after you read their efforts towards the betterment of our earth, you too will want to support their cause. Not only are you guaranteed an amazing product, from hair, skin, color, or wellness, but you can also be assured that they stand behind their mission statement as follows:

Aveda believes in using “Green ingredients” which means that they provide high performance plant based products. Aveda also only uses renewable, sustainable, organic plant-based ingredients which you can find in detailed ingredient policy on their website www.Aveda.com.

As quoted from Aveda.com, “Green ingredients position Aveda as a leader with:

* ethical and traceable soil to bottle™ ingredients
* organic ingredients and practices that are changing the industry
* plant-based alternatives to synthetic chemistry
* innovations in responsible packaging
* continued commitment to safe products manufacturing and corporate practices that are socially and environmentally advanced.”

Some of my favorites in Aveda’s extensive line of products is their haircare. Every shampoo, conditioner, and styling aid is formulated to meet your specific need. These are high performance products and will definitely change the look and feel of your hair. There is a product for every type of hair and every hair dilemma. I have extremely curly hair that I love to blow out straight. However, there are days when I just can’t win the battle with humidity and have to go curly, that’s where I can’t live without Aveda’s Be Curly curl enhancing lotion. Be Curly will actually hold your curl without feeling sticky or crunchy like moouse and gel. Be Curly leaves your hair soft and bouncy, but with curls that don’t frizz or get out of control. Don’t forget about Anti-Humectant. This is a balm that you will only use a very little amount and it will tame all the frizzes without looking greasy or dirty. This is great on dry hair you’re your curls are set or your hair is blown out. Use as a finishing polish to your hair to tame the fly-aways. Just remember, a little goes a long way with Aveda products so use them sparingly.

Check out Aveda.com or visit your local Aveda store and find the answer to any hair question.

We have been hearing a lot of buzz about Global Warming and how to save the earth… but my question to you is what are you doing about it??? Do you even know where to begin or how to get involved? I bet you didn’t think the cosmetics industry was a great way to get started.

Did you know that cosmetic companies around the world are extremely involved in the “Go Green” campaign and how to make a difference by raising awareness of Global Warming as well as other life-threatening epidemics facing countries today and making a change?

Imagine… when you go to buy your new lipstick you could be donating a portion of the proceeds to an organization that benefits a cause to better a community. Or if you want to try a new moisturizer, wouldn’t you love to know that you not only hydrated your skin but you have donated to a great cause such as the World AIDS fund or Cancer Research.

Attention all Cosmetic Junkies out there, don’t you think its time for us to get involved…and if you are wondering how, maybe next time you go to try on a new lipstick or test a new nail polish, or even take a trip to your local department store, do a little research, ask some questions, and support the vendors who are doing their part to make a difference and raise the awareness, that which is desperately needed to make this earth a better place.

Stay tuned and check in daily to let us help you find out WHO is doing WHAT to make a difference in the world. From head to toe, let us help you find the products that will not only make you look great but make you feel good too! It’s time we all did a something to make a difference, every little bit counts…

Did you know that Aveda has raised more than $6 million dollars for environmental causes through their Earth Month Campaigns?

This is only the beginning to our mission to bring you the leaders in the industry driving towards making a difference in the world, not just the world of lipstick and glamour.
