Natural beauty and skincare is one of my passions. I am always searching for products that are easy on my skin as well as the environment.
In honor of Earth Day or 'Earth Month' as many would say, I would like to share some of my favorite Eco-friendly beauty picks!

Versatile and healthy, VCO can be used for stir-frying, making sauces, baking and body care.Extensive field research in the tropics shows that people who follow a traditional diet high in coconut oil enjoy excellent cardiovascular health.
