    Just because Earth Day isn't even remotely close to approaching doesn't mean you shouldn't take every opportunity to treat our planet right! Tarte's Be Good To Your Mother (Earth) Tote Set is a trio of their SPF Lip Sheers encased in recycled aluminum that comes in a super-cute reusable cotton tote. Use the tote for more eco-friendly grocery shopping, or just use it as your everyday carry-all to spread the green love during the official Earth Day "off-season." And what better reason to splurge on a beauty buy than saving the world?


    Price: $35

    Using beauty products may not be the most environmentally harmful part of your daily routine (well, unless of course you're addicted to hairspray), but if you're into going the natural route for the sake of saving your skin and the planet, you're certainly not the only one! Lucky for us eco-conscious makeup mavens, some of our favorite beauty brands have jumped on the green bandwagon and made natural, organic, and eco-chic versions of their popular products. For example, Lancome's Juicy Tubes Pure are just like the old favorite, but this time with 95% natural ingredients! And Urban Decay's shadow box packs 10 of their favorite shadows into a sustainable wooden box complete with a cruelty-free eyeshadow brush. I won't be dramatic and say that a few coats of organic mascara will save the world, but hey -- every little gesture counts! Take a browse through the slideshow to see which big-name brands have gone natural!

    Gotta Getaway? WhitePod Provides A Snowy Eco-Retreat In The ...

    Looking for the ultimate winter vacay that won't betray your newfound "save the planet" attitude and go green regime? No, I'm not crazy -- you can enjoy a fun-filled snowy getaway without stomping carbon footprints all over the ozone! The beautiful wintry town of Les Cerniers, located in the heart of the Swiss Alps, is home to WhitePod, the ultimate eco-friendly ski resort that'll have you relaxing and romping in the snow rather than roughing it for survival. The retreat is comprised of 15 one- and two-bedroom "pods," all fully equipped with bathrooms, wood-burning stoves, and organic furnishings, that use minimal water and electricity to allow for a more pristine mountain environment experience while still providing the comfort and luxury of high-end lodging. Spend the day skiing (with the help of private ski lifts), snowboarding, paragliding, or even dog-sledding, then relax the night away over dinner and drinks at the community chalet or massages at the hotel spa. I'm sure the Swiss Alps are gorgeous all year round, but you won't get to experience the mountains quite like this (or quite this eco-chic!) at any other seasonal resort! Take a look at the slideshow for the hotel's breath-taking surroundings and unique amenities!

    One Man's Recyclables Are Another Man's... Furniture?

    How is it that a living space can get so cluttered? Some people are lucky and are born with the "organized and tidy" gene. I got the "cluttered pack-rat" gene instead. With every new beginning, I promise myself that I will only keep what is absolutely necessary and all that is not under that category will be swiftly thrown, recycled or donated. Instead, there are piles of fashion and gossip magazines dotting my floor, suitcases holding clothes because my closet and dressers are full and shelves of random knick-knacks, accessories and souvenirs that I swear are sentimental, but probably wouldn't notice if they were gone. Some fellow pack-rats have found a creative and environmental way to rid our already small living spaces of junk and clutter and produce objects that are beautiful, funky and totally useful! From trash-cans and large vases made from old magazines (i could make a patio set) to bright, extravagant chandeliers made from "stuff" and a place to rest your feet made up of shoes that used to be on them, innovative designers are helping lighten the land-fill load and make our homes more fun and functional! Because the items are made of recyclables, subtle details will be different, ensuring that you truly have a one-of-a-kind piece. Sounds like something you've been looking for to help set the theme of a new house, or to spruce up a room? Check out the slideshow to see some favorite recycled furniture ideas and find one for your space!
