Nude is Beautiful

Nude is beautiful - the skin care line, that is. Fresh out of London, this line is based on the principle that natural products without any chemicals can be just as (if not more) effective than conventional brands. Which is so so true! And NUDE is simply spectacular.

Eco Paws.

There's no bones about it, those of us who have pets, love them dearly, but can we lighten the eco-pawprint of our pets? The answer is a resounding woof, or meow. There are ways to green your pet without hurting the planet.

Green Pan

Looking for your kitchen to be safer for your family - and the planet? Look no further. An exciting new company has launched a 6-piece cookware set called the Green Pan. This ultra modern cooking pan is the first of its kind and represents the latest technology in eco-friendly, high quality and non-stick cookware.

NUDE : the products

Warming Winter Spanish Chickpea and Chorizo Soup

We have been very spoiled the last few days with beautiful early-fall-like weather. However, waking up this morning it was clear that winter really is drawing near.

Del Forte

Del Forte bills themselves as "luxury denim," and I am telling you - this is one jean definitely worthy of that title. The choices are many. They feature low, med, or high rise in wide leg, skinny, boot or flare. Do you like buttons or pockets or stitch detailing? What about stretch or wash? And distressed? All these options and the jeans are still organic! Love it!

Cooking up a green kitchen.

The Kitchen is the one area in the house where we spend most of our time; it's also the place where we use the most energy. Here are a few ingredients to cook up a green kitchen.

Yukon Gold Frites

Potatoes. They are without a doubt one of the most versatile vegetables available, especially during the cold winter months when we turn to rustic and hearty recipes to keep us warm and toasty!

EO Hand Sanitizer

Germs and I do not get along all too well (...although I do understand that they are an important part of a healthy eco-balance). But thanks to EO, I no longer need worry. EO hand sanitizers are quite simply the best. Conventional hand sanitizers are not only filled with synthetic chemicals, but also leave my hands dry and smelling awful! Yuck. That is nothing I want anywhere near my skin.

This week on...

The health of Canadians and their social and economic well-being are highly dependent on the quality of their environment. That's why Environment Canada releases The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Index, it's a system that uses indicators to measure water quality, air quality etc.
