After feeling pretty good about eating organic goods- we recently came to realize that food wasn't the only thing entering our bodies. A lot of people slather on sunscreen, deodorant, make-up, and much more-- without ever checking the ingredients. Bad idea. After loads of online research- we started to find ways to replace chemical-laden products with organic ones! Here are some of Beau & I's top product picks: *Miessence Make-Up (certified organic) *Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps (USDA certified organic) *Nourish Deodorant (USDA certified organic) *Natracare feminine hygiene products (certified organic, biodegradable, & no chlorine!) *Green People Toothpaste (organic/ no fluoride. Miessence also has organic dental care) *Ecover (dishwashing detergent, household cleaners, etc.) *Sunrise (premium recycled bath tissue, paper towels, napkins- Look for it at your local grocery store!) *Make sure to look for recycled paper that isn't chlorine bleached! *Dr. Bronner's Sal's Suds (organic household cleaner) *Biokleen (laundry detergent, household cleaners, etc.) *Bambu (organic/ sustainable plates, cutlery, etc.) *Miessence (they also make good organic cleaners, air freshening sprays, etc.) |


#1 ELLWOOD THOMPSON'S (organic/local foods, eco-friendly alternatives to virtually every household necessity, Richmond's finest, one-stop, GREEN grocer!) #2 GREEN LABEL (local organic clothes that totally rock. You can find a few of their tees at Ellwood's!) #3 MOONRISE JEWELRY (awesome "eco-bling". They are hand-made in VA from real orchids and they use recycled and fair trade metals!) #4 FLOWER PEDDLER (the greatest bar soaps ever made! We recommend the Hippy Spice, the Ginger Lime, and the Goat Milk Sandalwood Vanilla.) #5 SOLELY ORGANICS (the only 100% organic Richmond-area caterer. She'll be making us a lovely assortment of organic goodies for our little green wedding next year!) |
