I know that judging a product by the packaging is just as wrong as judging a book by its cover. And personally, if the stuff inside isn?'t wonderful, the best looking bottle in the world won't make me use it. However there's something to be said for really pretty packaging. It draws you in just like an intriguing novel cover. And if the formula inside is just as amazing, you feel completely vindicated for being seduced by a bottle. Continued...

I’ve been waiting for it, and I know by the massive amounts of email I get, that you've been patiently waiting for it too. (Thank you to everyone who emailed about the line. I enjoy hearing what products you can't seem to live without.) Well wait no more because Saffron Rouge is now going to be selling Weleda's wildly popular Wild Rose Facial Care collection, previously only sold by estheticians. Continued...

I'm super strict when it comes to choosing organic products for Saffron Rouge. Part of it is my integrity, but part of it is that the United States doesn't have it's own standards for organic beauty products. Luckily, after years of consumer confusion, the US is finally ready to create its own organic product regulations. And I for one couldn't be happier. Continued...

My job at Saffron Rouge allows me to do many things I’d never imagine I’d be doing. For example, in order to help launch Suzanne aux bains. on SaffronRouge.com I put on my best Diane Sawyer face to interview the founder, Romain Vitali. It was truly a pleasure to learn more about this amazing brand that I’ve become utterly addicted to. Here’s what we talked about:… Continued...

So you've mastered food label-reading when you make your weekly trip to the market (make that daily trip to the market if you have a house full of hungry kids to feed). Now it's time to move on to reading clothing labels. There are more organic fabrics than ever out there. And they not only help the environment, but they're pretty, comfortable and stylish. So whether you want organic wool in the winter to keep you warm or a light organic cotton dress for steamy summer days, there are multitudes of organic fabrics out there to fill your closet with. Continued...

There are a lot of eco books out there, and most of them are as dry as the (hopefully) recycled paper they're printed on. So when I received Ecoholic, a new book by NOW magazine columnist Adria Vasil as a gift, I was happily shocked. And now, after thumbing through it front to back and back to front, I have to admit I'm completely addicted. Ecoholic started as an eco-conscious column in Canada's NOW magazine written by Adria Vasil, a talented writer and self-titled ecoholic. (Hence the title of the column and book.) She turned all of her knowledge and passion into a seemingly rare blend of reference book and fun-read about how to live green. Continued...

So she's not exactly a 'green' celebrity, but she's still making a difference. Singer and songwriter India Arie is known for her captivating, thought provoking lyrics and haunting melodies. But she's more than a voice, more than a stage persona. She's using her power as a celebrity to do two very different things: empower women to love themselves as they are and, more recently, helping to turn the world's attention to the AIDS epidemic in Africa. And together they sum up what India stands for. Continued...

I don't consider myself a materialistic person. After all, my mother grew up in India and raised us to be socially and environmentally conscious. But everyone has a weakness, and mine has been for BMWs. I've never actually bought one, and probably never would. I've always been able to think of better things to do with my money. Now I don't have to feel so guilty dreaming…meet the BMW Hydrogen 7. Continued...
