Help EcoTools Give Back By Casting Your Vote Today!

As many of you already know, I am passionate about doing my best to live a greener lifestyle. While my Mercedes isn't exactly a hybrid and I am not a vegetarian, I try to make more environmentally-friendly choices whenever possible. I cloth-diaper, I use green household products, and I love organic and eco-friendly cosmetics. These "safe" cosmetics are free of parabens, pthalates, preservatives, and other synthetic and potentially harmful ingredients.

Speaking of cosmetics, did you know that you can even find great beauty tools that are kind to the Earth? It's true! And the best of the best come from a great company called EcoTools! (Review and giveaway coming soon, so keep your eyes open in the near future!)

After an overwhelming success in 2011, the EcoTools Gives Back campaign is back, giving consumers an easy and direct way to contribute to keeping the planet beautiful. Through EcoTool’s partnership with EarthShare and 1% for the Planet (an alliance of businesses committed to leveraging their resources to create a healthier planet), consumers have the chance to decide for themselves how the brand’s yearly donation will be divided between three inspiring EarthShare organizations – each of which exemplify EcoTools’ quest for living beautifully.
