Natural living extends to make up products too!

As someone who values trying new things, who is very interested in makeup, and also who values finding products that are better for the earth (and for our skin) I LOVE the wide array of products that do just that in the make up world.

For instance: EcoTools provides earth friendly products made from bamboo and even recycled materials. They're brushes have great reviews. I can't wait to try them out.

Organic Wear has some pretty neat makeup that I can't wait to try and some pretty awesome mascara tubes: for instance HERE and HERE. How cool are those?

Also Tarte is pretty "prestigious" and they're products seem to be pretty cool. You can easily find them at Sephora.com

You can be health and eco-conscious while still looking great! I can't wait to buy some of these to review :D

a different sort of giveaway!

Oh blog, how I have missed you.

In a crazy turn of events I was without internet for quite some times. I learned many things in that time: how awesome the internet is, and how bad it was for me. I'm trying not to be on it as much as I used to. It's not good for my sanity. I do value how much easier it is to communicate with people through it though.

I've missed my blog. It's fun to write and an outlet for emotion I can't have anywhere else. I've also realized that I really do have two personalities. One internet, and one in real life. My internet one is the one I prefer. I'm not afraid to say what I think or feel and sometimes I catch my self in real life, because I don't want to hurt someone's feelings, or lose a friend.

I've stopped caring about that. Friends are your friends regardless of differing opinions. They don't just erase you out of their life because you don't agree with something, or because something they said/did hurt your feelings.

I've also realized that I expect a lot out of friends.. and I shouldn't. I imagine everyone would be like me: considerate. Calling/Texting when plans change, or keeping plans, etc. But not everyone does that. Maybe I expect too much and then I let it upset me and hurt my feelings.. I often wonder if it's because I "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." I always let people know when things change, if I'm late I message as soon as I know I'm going to be late.. I try to check in too.. but that could be an outdated practice.

My new resolution. Not to take things to personally either... I tend to do that a lot, and it just gets me depressed.
