If you’re ready to trash your old makeup and cosmetics for something better for you and the environment, then look no further than the Josie Maran Eco-Friendly Cosmetics Line.

Supermodel and Dancing with the Stars contestant Josie Maran started her own makeup line back in 2006 and hasn’t looked back.  Working with the Environmental Working Group’s site Skin Deep, Maran created some of the best and most eco-friendly beauty products found on the market today.

Josie is as committed to quality and luxury as she is to the environment—which is a win-win for the environmentally savvy girl on the go. The whole line is worth checking out but two products that have generated particular buzz are her all-purpose color finger paints ($36 for a palette of four) and her mascara ($22).

Yes, the mascara is a must!  Perfect for plumping and no clumping!

For some of us in the States, the weather this week has been a godsend, sunshiny days with temps finally rising above freezing.  So, what better way to celebrate this welcome weather than with an impromptu cookout?

If you’d rather not spend the evening washing plates, be sure to check out Solo’s Bare Bamboo Plates at your local grocers.  These 10-inch plates are made from annually renewable bamboo and are as eco-friendly as can be.  You can even add them to the compost bin without harm.

Cost per 12 pack, around $3-4.

The soon-to-be-wed Kate Middleton has been dubbed “Waity Katie” due to her long, eight year courtship with Prince William but that will end soon enough and in the meantime, let’s paint our nails with a new Kate-inspired eco-friendly shade!

From eco-friendly nail care company, Butter London, comes a new glittery shade in honor of Kate’s upcoming nuptials to Prince William.

“No More Waity, Katie” will debut this March and retail for $22, not too bad when you consider all of the commemorative plates and towels you could end up with.

The limited-edition polish is grayish-blue and glitter-filled, while remaining organic and animal friendly without the use of any carcinogens (no formaldehyde, toluene, or phthalates). Sounds fit for a royal environmentalist like Middleton, right?

Count us in!  This is such a wonderful shade to honor Kate’s upcoming wedding and we can’t wait to start sporting this new shade!

J&O Fabrics has recently added some more eco-friendly options to the fabric line and they’re pulling their green weight with a 15% discount code through November if you’d like to give them a try.

A rep at the fabric retailer stated, “There are multiple reasons why J&O Fabrics added an eco-friendly line of fabric. We wanted to bring in fabrics where people could make their kids items and not have to worry about where the fabric came from or be concerned about any potential health hazards.”

The new and greener line includes organic cottons, 100% bamboo fabric and recycled cotton.  If you’d like to give the new fabrics a whirl, just use the coupon code STITCH until the end of the month and see just how versatile these pieces can be!

The great thing about ferns is that they don’t require light to flourish. The best thing about this side table is that it’s also an inverted planter that gives a fern shady space to grow. And this particular table, designed by Ori Mishkal, introduces plant life into your home without taking up valuable tabletop real estate.

We’d like to see these in our houses, pronto. We’d try the DIY approach, but we have a feeling it’d be (a lot) messier than this one.
