I heart Earth - Eco Fashion Tips

I love the Earth!  I just realized
that Earth Day started forty years ago!  I thought that it was a new trend, because we recently discovered how our bad habits are destroying our planet.  When I lived in Harlem, I used to see people come to the end of my street and dump trash! That really changed my mind about my attitude.  I used to get tired of trying to recycle everything in my brownstone apartment!  Out of necessity, I became an Eco-friendly designer!  Now, it is my goal to search for products that are organic and recycle to create beautiful items.

Here's some "Green" fashion tips for saving our planet.....every Nilajanista should do her part:

• Give clothes to the Goodwill.
• Have a swap party with your friends, instead of buying new clothes or accessories. One of your girls might be tired of her Prada.
• Wash everything in cold water.  Your clothes last longer anyway.
• Put your clothes in a consignment store.  You may not get rich but you could treat yourself to a lil' something with the extra $$$$$$.
• Turn dingy t-shirts into cleaning rags. They are perfect for dusting.
• Design something new with the clothes that bore you....for example, you can turn a t-shirt into a cute scarf...scarves are all the rage this season.

Happy Earth Day......Cheryl

What Men Really Think About Your Hair

 I found this article interesting, considering what some women will do to their hair and what men like.  I've always like changing my hairstyles quite frequently.  When I got married, my hair was short.  I grew it long because my husband liked long hair.  It started to grow on me too.  (No pun intended!) In fact, I think that I started to become a bit obessive about taking care of it. Under my bathroom cabinet, you will find a mini-hair salon!  I am over that phase now but I say all of this to say that I really didn't give much thought to what the opposite sex thought of my hair........but it certainly does matter to some.
