It’s Coming Up Primrose
Date: January 18, 2010 | Category: Beauty, Hair Care, Resources, Stores & Resources
When we first walked into Los Angeles salon Primrose Organics, the sweet aroma of botanicals immediately put us at ease, as did the sunny demeanor of its co-owners, Felicia Howe and Melissa Tornay.
Los Angeles is rife with glitzy hair salons, most of which tend toward a cold aesthetic and factory-like treatment of clients. Not so at Primrose, where a light-filled interior decorated with vintage vanities, painted with VOC-free paint, and stylists’ inscrutable attention to your – yes, your – needs make for a warm ambiance.

Color Me Natural
Date: January 6, 2010 | Category: Beauty, Hair Care
You color job may be a passing phase but the chemical damage done – to your beautiful self and the environment – is one bad dye job that will never rinse out. If changing your mane is the name of your game, rest assured that you don’t have to sacrifice true color in order to get a regimen free of nasties like PPD (a known carcinogen) or ammonia – do you really want to subject your tresses to the awful cleaner originally used to scrub toilets?

No More Waiting Online for Green Beauty
Date: October 16, 2009 | Category: Beauty, Body Care, Fragrance, Hair Care, Makeup, Skin Care
Green beauty counters are few and far between, even at prominent department stores. Because we choose to eschew lead in our lipstick, we make a point of seeking out product lines that are guilt-free, cruelty-free, and that will gloss, highlight, and blush us just as well as their non-natural counterparts. Ordering online is quick and easy, but why should us eco girls be excluded from the fun of testing and blending different colors in person? (more…)

While you may not be as playful with hair color as Dennis Rodman, you love to experiment and change your look now and again (like whenever you’re trying to do a post-disaster-weekend permanent costume change). But we all know that ammonia-based dyes are not something to mess with (more…)

Coveting Coco: The Resort Issue!

Last month’s Coco Eco was such a smash hit (of course, we were huge fans of the eco-chic guide to San Francisco!) it’s hard to imagine how each issue keeps getting better and better! Now live with their sixth issue – The Resort Issue – cover girl Rachael Leigh Cook is stunning, and super down-to-earth. (more…)
Pure-fection!
Date: July 14, 2009 | Category: Beauty, Body Care, Hair Care, Makeup, Skin Care
You’re a natural girl. You understand that 60% of topical products you put on your skin can absorb into your bloodstream – and in an ideal world you’d be able to harvest your cosmetics in your own backyard, taking as much care with what you put on your skin as you do with what you put in your mouth.
