Cargo PlantLove: For Earth Day... and Beyond



You probably already know about Cargo's PlantLove lipstick. But in honor of Earth Day, I wanted to spotlight a cosmetic that is eco-friendly, and the PlantLove lipstick certainly fits that bill. First, the tube is made entirely out of corn - ok, give it up for that innovative move. Second, the box is made from paper embedded with wildflower seeds. Yup, you read that right. You plant the lipstick box in the ground, and you will get beautiful wildflowers! Love it!! Oh, and not unimportantly, the colors are gorgeous, too. I swear I spent an hour (or more) in Sephora (ok, that's not too hard to do) and I couldn't decide which color to buy. They were all so great. I kept browsing and then would come back to the PlantLove display to see if somehow a decision had been made for me, because as much as I wanted to, I just couldn't buy two lipsticks that day. Also, since some of the lipsticks are designed by celebrities, I had to factor that into my decision. I mean, I just couldn't bring myself to buy a lipstick by Maria Menounos - pretty, pretty girl but ever catch her on the Today Show? Ugh - like fingernails on a chalkboard. Anyway - Mariska Hargitay's color ended up the fave (Maria's shade wasn't "me" anyway).

Buying makeup and leaving a smaller carbon footprint - it's a beautiful thing! Happy Earth Day.

Get Yourself Screened!!

Yeah, I don't have skin cancer! I had my annual full-body check today with the dermatologist, and I had a few spots I was concerned with, but the dr. gave me a clean bill of health. Whew. But I am one of the lucky ones. I read so many articles these days about skin cancer, and since I had so many sunburns as a young girl, I'm nervous about something developing. Read these facts from Olay , who has teamed up with the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery to sponsor free screenings across the country: Did you know... One person dies every hour from skin cancer. One in five Americans will develop skin cancer. Skin cancer in women under 40 has tripled in the past 30 years. Five sunburns double a woman's chance of getting skin cancer. UV exposure at tanning salons is just as risky as sunbathing outside. People with fair skin that burns rather than tans, people with red hair and people with blue eyes are at greater risk of developing skin cancer. People who have many (extens...

DOVE Giveaway!!!

On May 1st, I wrote about the new DOVE Ultimately Visibly Smooth Wild Rose Anti-Perspiring/Deodorant (click here to read). Well, it's been almost 8 weeks since I started using it, and I'm happy to say that overall I'm really pleased with this new deodorant. It has made the hair softer and, surprisingly, I did notice that my underarms do look better and smoother. I've always had issues with that, because as someone who is pale but has dark hair, even when freshly shaven my underarms still didn't look quite hair-free (this was particularly angst-inspiring during my teenage years). But the other day I noticed my underarms looked really good and didn't have the pit-version of the five o'clock shadow going on. Yay! DOVE wanted to give you the chance to try this new product (if you haven't already!) and is going to give 2 lucky readers a full-size DOVE Ultimately Smooth Wild-Rose Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant , along with coupons for $2 off future purchases of U...
