Out with the Deadly, In with the Eco-Friendly

When I first learned of the dangers of the hundreds of synthetic products I owned I had to ask myself this question...Do the benefits outweigh the risks? The answer was obvious...Absolutely not! In my mind health not only comes before but is necessary in attaining real beauty . While I became uber concerned with the health risks of my current beauty regimen, I was definitely not about to start growing out my leg hair, stop wearing deodorant, or live off a diet of strictly granola and sprouts. I have always been on trend and well maintained and there was no way I was going to give that up! But could I really still be as appealing and current without my Nars make-up, Fake Bake Self Tanner, and Chi hair products!? The answer is Yes! In some aspects I actually look and feel much better than before! After much trial and error, I uncovered hundreds of green alternatives for all of my elaborate beauty routine needs that are not only free of harmful chemicals and other menacing ingredients but are just as addicting and fabulous as my old products. Actually, green products are even more fabulous! They not only make you look great but by ditching all of those preservatives you will feel liberated, all the while making a positive impact on the environment. How many of your everyday products can do that? Being that I love to write and I haven't been able to stop bragging about my amazing eco-friendly finds I decided to create TheChicEcoFreak.By way of this blog I will clue you in on the best of the best eco-friendly goods, display links to websites where you can purchase some of my fave products, and of course give you all the dirt on what's hiding in yours!
