GORGEOUSLY GREEN LOVES…
Websites
- Cosmetic Database This is where you go to find out the hazard score of your skincare products. Although you won’t find every product on here, they cover a huge range. Their rating system is a little over-zealous in some cases, so use it as a rough guide.
- Crazy Sexy Life I love Kris Carr’s website. She has authored 2 fantastic books, including “Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips” and is the subject of her documentary, “Crazy Sexy Life”. Her website is informative and fab.
- Ecostilletto This site dishes out daily eco-friendly fashion, beauty, lifestyle and celebrity advice that can help shrink your carbon footprint from a ginormous boot into an oh-so-slender stiletto.
- Etsy I can waste hours and hours, browsing this incredible online store, where anyone and everyone can set up shop. So many people have launched successful businesses on Etsy and if I’m ever looking for something unusual, this is my first port of call.
- Fab and Fru Recently launched, this fantastic website gives plenty of tips for frugal, yet fabulous living.
