Welcome my fellow Eco-Cosmeticians and Fashionistas!

Hello everyone, my name is Theresa, and I am a recent college grad from Western Washington University. I graduated with a B.A. from the college of the Humanities Department: Liberal Studies and I concentrated on Religion and Culture. As you can see, my degree has no connection with beauty or fashion. However, as I have now graduated from college, I feel like I have missed out on many fashion and beauty opportunities that I did not have time for as a working student: now is the time for change. WWU is mostly known for its Environmental majors through Huxley College. However, WWU cultivated an environmentally conscious environment which permeated all of the departments both through policy and the faculty they hired. Moreover, they taught many of its student's the importance of Environmental responsibility and sustainability.

The reason why I am starting this blog is to inform many Eco-Conscious individuals by shedding light on existing Eco-friendly Brands and companies out there in the market; these brands can be eco-friendly alternatives to mainstream brands. When consumers make choices on their fashion and beauty materials, brand names are usually the reassurance of a good or bad product; it informs you on the quality of the product: the location it was made, how it is made, what it was made out of--all of these catch phrases are webbed into a label. Now in an ever changing capitalist economy, there are a multitude of brands out there making it quite overwhelming deciding where to begin and how to progress. I hope to help you and learn with you in this process by analyzing our current skin care methods, make up, and fashion routine in order to try and make more responsible choices for our bodies, this Earth, and generations to come.
