EcoTools Review

EcoTools Review

Ever wonder what ingredients make up those make-up brushes you use on your face daily?  I do.  We spend countless of dollars yearly on cosmetic accessories...so why not have some that you know are made from eco-friendly, high quality and safe ingredients?  If you agree, Alicia Silverstone's EcoTools has just the products for you.

I had the pleasure of reviewing EcoTool's Bamboo Finishing Kabuki.  This all-purpose brush ($6.99 cost) is made with a natural bamboo handle and soft, cruelty free bristles.  The bristles contain 2 varying lengths to provide for that delicate finish you are looking for.

This brush can be used with a loose or pressed powder foundation, a blush and even a bronzer for a sheer satin finish.  The Finishing Kabuki brush makes a wonderful addition to my make-up accessories...I absolutely love how well it works and feel good knowing that it was made with the earth and its inhabitants in mind.


Product Details:

• Expertly tapered for easy highlighting and contouring
• Soft, cruelty-free taklon bristles
• Natural & recycled materials
• Reusable storage pouch

This earth-friendly brush evenly applies color to brighten up your face. And, it shows respect for the planet.  It even comes with a cute "green tip" on the packaging!  I just love this product. In addition, EcoTools joined 1% For The Planet, an alliance of businesses committed to donating their resources to create a healthier planet.  What a wonderful company to support! Buy it: You can purchase EcoTools products online here or at any one of their online or retail stores. Thank you to EcoTools for letting me review one of their eco-conscious beauty products.   Bridget James (author of) The Curious Case of Mommyhood EcoTool's product, the Bamboo finishing kabuki brush, was provided to me by EcoTools for review.  (Please see my Disclosure under my "Reviews" page for more information.)

Magic Erasers ~ Toxic or Eco-Friendly?

Magic Erasers ~ Toxic or Eco-Friendly?

A few weeks ago, I was speaking to a friend of mine about the magic eraser. As one who likes to use only eco-friendly and nonhazardous cleaning products, I embarrassingly must admit that I have used the magic eraser in the past and I was happy with its results. I am guilty to this cleaning pleasure. And I am so because it works wonders (and by far better than anything else I've used) to removing markers from white walls and grease stains from white doors (to name a few). So this is my cleaning vice...only when absolutely necessary!

However, maybe the magic eraser isn't as bad as we all had imagined...

My friend Mel sent me this blog post about the ingredients in the magic eraser and I was surprised at what I read. So to all of you who share this guilty pleasure, you may find some peace with your environmental sin:)

Thank you Mel for sharing!

The "Doctors" Show Argues the Circumcision Ban in SF

There was a discussion on the television show "Doctors" about the ban of circumcision in San Francisco.  I highly recommend watching this discussion below which is argued by Freedom of Speech.  The beginning of the argument got to me a bit but just hang in there...the rest of the clip is highly worth your time.  (all references to any statistics or facts are displayed at the end of the clip)
