Happy Earth Day everyone!
I think everyone is trying to be a little “greener” these days, but does that mean you need to give up being a fabulous fashionista?
Of course not!  There are lots of things you can do to stay fashionable and be eco-friendly at the same time.

Recycle your cell phone, PDA, batteries and even laptop.  Keeping electronics out of landfills is a great way to stay green.  Can you get your pricey electronics repaired instead of buying a whole new one?

Try out green materials.  Organic cotton, recycled materials and upcycling all reduce our environmental impact.

As we get closer to Earth Day, I have even more “au naturale” hair tips from David Babaii, a celebrity hair stylist.
David is a big supporter of the environment, in fact he recently worked  with Kate Hudson to launch an eco-friendly hair care line, David Babaii for WildAid, that not only is made with natural, good-for-the-Earth (and you) products, it also gives 10% of its revenue to WildAid, the wildlife conservation organization!
I love stuff like that: Nothing like being beautiful AND doing something great for our universe.
According to David, one great way to save time and electricity – two …read more
