Recycle your old Crocs and How 7 Feb 2009 IN FASHION & BEAUTY \| COMMENTS Remember those weird shoes called Crocs? They were a fad a few years back. They are still around. People still wear them.

Turn Old Pants into a Chic Cocktail Dress 31 Jan 2009 IN FASHION & BEAUTY \| COMMENTS I'm not ashamed to admit that I am totally devoted to What Not to Wear, the TLC makeover show that turns the frumpily dressed into the fabulously frocked.+ READ MORE	{ }
Cut Back on Beauty Waste by Precycling 22 Jan 2009 IN FASHION & BEAUTY \| COMMENTS You already know about upcycling and recycling, but have you started precycling yet? At the most basic level, precycling is about choosing products that come in the least amount of packaging possible—and it’s even better if that packaging is reusable.+ READ MORE	{ }
Discover Trashion (Trash Fashion) at the Green Inaugural Ball 20 Jan 2009 IN FASHION & BEAUTY \| COMMENTS Trash + Fashion = Trashion. Simple, right? Not necessarily—one of Nancy Judd's winter coats, made from Obama fliers, took 200 hours to cut, paste and sew.+ READ MORE	{ }

Choose These Eco-friendly Yarns for Your Next Knitting Project 18 Dec 2008 IN FASHION & BEAUTY \| COMMENTS The greenest choice for which yarn to use for your next knitting project is obviously the least likely to happen - ideally you'd raise your own sheep organically with sustainable pasturing techniques, shear it yourself with clippers (not electric), leave the wool undyed, and knit your own sweaters...+ READ MORE	{ }

Making Your Own Hair Gel is So Easy 22 Nov 2008 IN FASHION & BEAUTY \| COMMENTS Hair gel can be a good thing. My hair is fine and straight, so I rarely need it.

Turn #6 Plastic into Colorful Charms for Jewelry 28 Sep 2008 IN FASHION & BEAUTY \| COMMENTS In a perfect world, we'd all use a whole lot less plastic: we'd bring our own Tupperware for takeout, our own Thermos for coffee, and our own canvas bags every time we went to the grocery store. But in this not-nearly-perfect world, sometimes we forget to do some (or all) of these things. And while...+ READ MORE	{ }
How and Where to Donate Your Old Eyeglasses 25 Aug 2008 IN FASHION & BEAUTY \| COMMENTS There are plenty of reasons that eyeglasses get replaced: broken frames, a new prescription, or, for the fashion conscious, a trendy design that goes out of style.
