Let me start out by saying that we are NOT tree hugging hippies. Not that there is anything wrong with that, activism and community involvement would not be what it is today if it weren't for hippies. I just feel it's important to make that distinction because our ultimate goal is looking (and smelling) our best and finding products that are natural AND work, not just natural for the sake of being natural. The fact that these products are environmentally safe is the icing on the cake for us. Beauty First!
A quick intro to us girls: We are roommates and friends and we both happen to be named Meg. For the sake of our friends and our readers, my partner in crime goes my Megan (in our profile pic she is on the left) and I go by Meg.
We both had extensive beauty regimens full of products that contained all kinds of nasty chemicals that promised to clear up everything from pimples to dark under eye circles....and don't even get me started on our hair products!
Now for years we blindly kept using these products even though we never got the ideal results we were promised. Both of us had a sneaking suspicion that those long unpronounceable ingredients listed on the back of all our bottles may be part of the problem....but who knows what those are? These mysterious chemicals seem to be in just about everything in the beauty industry anyway, so they can't be that bad right? So we kept buying those products, occasionally upgrading to a more expensive version of what we were previously using which tended to yeild the same results.
Then we read an intro to a book that changed my whole perspective. We immediately bought the book and devoured it. The book is "No More Dirty Looks." We recommend you go buy this book immediately! It is a comprehensive guide to all those nasty chemicals and their effect on your body (and beauty!). Turns out, those chemicals that are in most of your products are REALLY bad for you.
We have both started the switch to all natural products and we have been shocked with the results. The natural skincare and hair care products work better than our old stand-bys! We look brighter and clearer and we smell great (not at all like a patchouli drenched drum circle...which is what I thought natural beauty usually smelled like).
Now, we are completely fascinated by this industry and we have a mission to spread the word about how great these products are for you and how amazing the results can be.
We invite you to join us as we make the switch and be your natural beauty guinea pigs. We are going to test all kinds of beauty products and review them here. We want everyone to make the switch with us and feel as great about it as we have! We also LOVE feedback so email us anytime! Here we go!
