Did you know that a lot of what you use to make ourselves look better is actually doing the exact opposite? A lot of the time they contain toxins and preservatives (everything from synthetic fragrances to petrochemicals to formaldehyde) that are bad for you and even worse, bad for the environment. The Green Beauty Guide is a book that tries to show you the way to a natural beauty. By reading this book, you will learn how to decipher product labels without needing a masters degree and avoid the really bad chemicals (check out the toxic ingredient list). I especially learned a lot in Chapter 3 about understanding what you are paying for. They completely breakdown who all gets your money when you buy a product and how much the ingredients for said product really are. It will floor you when you realize how many middleman there really are. Not only does this book tell you what not to use, it lets you know what products are good and safe for you and environment. It has all the latest research on the best organic products including makeup, hair care, tooth care, skincare, sun protection, and baby products just to name a few. There are even some DIY recipes to try out.

This is a book all women should get their hands on. It is very scary to see what ingredients our makeup has that is doing harm to both us and environment. However, this book can also send us to a better path for makeup and other items that are green. It is definitely a good, informative read.

Have you tried the Weight Watchers Golden Sponge Cake yet?  If you like Twinkies, you will love these, and they are way better for you.  I’ll admit, I didn’t think it could be done.  However, I was pleasantly surprised when I took my first bite of the Weight Watchers Golden Sponge Cake and I loved it!  Now, these are not the same size as a Twinkie;  they are smaller.  However, they count as only 1 point and are under 100 calories!  I love that Weight Watchers understands that we can’t all live without sweets forever (well, I can’t).  You can easily eat just one of these, and not ruin your diet.  It definitely quenched my sweet tooth.

The Weight Watchers Golden Sponge Cake allows you to indulge without feeling guilty (well, that’s if you only eat one or two of them).  Enjoy this healthy snack the next time your sweet tooth is craving some sweetness!
