But many traditional oral care products contain additives and chemicals that can be harmful. Fear not, for I ha… Continue

Dear Beauty Chick,
At a popular hair salon the stylist recommended that I use a hair oil to make my hair silkier, shinier and in better condition. It’s argan based which I’ve heard is good, and he told me it was natural, but there seem like an awful lot of chemical-sounding ingredients in it. I really liked the smell and how my hair looked when I used it but I’m wondering how ‘natural’ it really is. These are the ingredients as listed on the bottle.

In a galaxy far, far away called High School, I had early aspirations of becoming a writer, a novelist to be exact. Having penned many a heart broken poem and creative short story, I believed I had what it would take to be a bestselling author.
If you can imagine, I was a nerd. I think that’s what they still call kids who prefer reading books and studying over cheerleading. I was also very determined. At 15, when I was told that I could not get a school sponsored summer job, I went up against t… Continue

Through the course of doing research for Modern Hippie Mag I come across so many really talented jewelry designers. Of course my interest is focused more towards eco-friendly and "green" designers, such as Green Diva. I am so very impressed with their green business ethics and gorgeous jewelry designs! I also felt a twinge of...dare I say, envy. I would love to be at a place where I could design strictly e… Continue
