A suburban housewife's guide to raising babies and children in a socially, environmentally, and fiscally responsible way. We believe that sustainable living is critically important and may be easily achieved by incorporating simple ideas into everyday life. In addition to being a new mom who researches everything, I have a background in environmental management and engineering and have worked on sustainability projects in Africa.

Looking Beautiful While Supporting a Cause
Who says that going green means you have to sacrifice beauty? smashbox cosmetics' new Green Room collection contains extracts from moringa, a.k.a the "miracle tree." In addition to being a powerhouse of nutritional value, the trees provide a self-renewing food source for people in need. The products come in biodegradable or recyclable packaging and are made with eco-friendly formulas. Best of all, they look great! As an added bonus, portions of proceeds from every Green Room purchase go towards planting a Moringa tree in a developing country by Trees for the Future. (Our charity of the month, Stop the Spread, also does work with planting moringa trees in Zambia.)
I purchased their Hybrid 2 in 1 color and shine lip gloss in marigold a month ago and don't go anywhere without it. I also purchased their eye shadow quad in "bamboo." You can purchase their products on beauty.com or at your local smashbox retailer.
