Getting Crafty in Chicago
Spending the evening with a gaggle of wonderful like-minded women on an economically-grey evening in Chicago, was just the ticket. Did we discuss the monumental economic crisis or politics? No Way! We gathered around a huge counter and made organic skin care products. I demonstrated how to make the Gorgeously Green Luxury Facial oil and body scrub: so easy, so Green and so blissfully light on the pocket book. The party was held at the Method Home Open House - so if you happen to be in Chicago this week, you can toddle along to 2034 north halsted (at armitage) and turn in your toxic cleaning products in exchange for a FREE method hand wash. They are also selling their entire range and the store is open all day.
For you girls who asked about facial sunscreens to put on over your gorgeous face oil, here are my picks:
Lavera anti-aging sunscreen SPF 20 www.lavera.com
Glycolix Elite sunscreen SPF 30 www.skincarerx.com

Sophie,
It was such a pleasure to meet you last night. I know that I speak for all of the girls when I say that we all thoroughly enjoyed making natural beauty products and hearing your tips on green living. I used my facial oil before I went to bed last night and I loved it!

I would love to have more info on finding cosmetics that meet all the requirements for being green and healthly. I cannot seem to find anything. I want a good compact powder, a concealer that doesn’t settle in lines and a lipstick that is long wearing. A mascara that makes lashes look fuller would be great and matte eye shadows in earth tones. Yeah I know I am asking for alot. I have done some research but everytime I think i have found something there are no reviews to go by. Does anyone have any help for me? Thank you for anyone who can forward something my way!!
