Green Your Oral Hygiene

It may be uncomfortable to discuss, but it must be addressed…bad breath. To combat it good oral hygiene is extremely important and should be taken seriously. Studies have shown that the icky, nasty, inflammatory, gingivitis bacteria, if left unchecked, can leak into your bloodstream and find its way to your heart, where it could quite possibly be a contributing factor in heart disease.

5 Simple Tips to Help Green Your Kitchen



1. Don’t make your freezer work overtime. Fill used milk or orange juice cartons with water and place in freezer. Your frig’s freezer will work harder if you tend to keep it scarcely filled.



2. Toss a few lemon or orange peels along with a cup of salt or a few ice cubes to clean and deodorize your garbage disposal. Better yet compost your scraps! That new garden… Continue

Ask the Beauty Chick...What is Argan Oil?

Dear Beauty Chick,



At a popular hair salon the stylist recommended that I use a hair oil to make my hair silkier, shinier and in better condition. It’s argan based which I’ve heard is good, and he told me it was natural, but there seem like an awful lot of chemical-sounding ingredients in it. I really liked the smell and how my hair looked when I used it but I’m wondering how ‘natural’ it really is. These are the ingredients as listed on the bottle.



Cyclopentasiloxane,… Continue

How I Became A Jewelry Designer

In a galaxy far, far away called High School, I had early aspirations of becoming a writer, a novelist to be exact. Having penned many a heart broken poem and creative short story, I believed I had what it would take to be a bestselling author.



If you can imagine, I was a nerd. I think that’s what they still call kids who prefer reading books and studying over cheerleading. I was also very determined. At 15, when I was told that I could not get a school sponsored summer job, I went… Continue

I'm just not there...yet.

Through the course of doing research for Modern Hippie Mag I come across so many really talented jewelry designers. Of course my interest is focused more towards eco-friendly and "green" designers, such as Green Diva. I am so very impressed with their green business ethics and gorgeous jewelry designs! I also felt a twinge of...dare I say, envy. I would love to be at a place where I could design strictly… Continue
