It's Not Just Pennsylvania Primary Day...

... It's Earth Day and by now you all know that beauty and fashion can be can be green too. Personally, I just want to luxuriate in the minty, sweet, veggie sugar body scrub followed up by the Cool as a Cucumber manicure and pedicure at Verde Salon in Collingswood, New Jersey.

But there are other fashionable/ save-our-planet things you can do today. Here is a local listing of some of my favorite and the good news is that some of these deals last through the week, or like this locally based website, Modify, you can purchase candles and other hip clothing all year long.

Enjoy soy-based waxing, cleansing facials, reiki body treatments, massage at Juju Salon and Organics The salon also also offers chemical-free hair color. (Maybe I can get that chocolate brown shade in my locks that I've always wanted.)

And finally, Old City boasts a bedroom and furniture store called Okookoo. One day those bamboo sheets and pillowcases will be mine!

Although, I must admit, it would be nice if everyday was Earth Day.

Want to share with us your favorite fashionable green item or treatment?

We know that “What I am going to wear?” is a serious question, possibly requiring consultation and multiple outfit changes. We believe beauty treatments can be a necessity instead of a luxury, and consider awards shows required viewing. Above all, we strive to bring style into our daily lives – and have fun telling others about it.
