Happy Earth Day! Interestingly, forty years ago, 20 million Americans joined together for the first time to demonstrate for a healthy sustainable environment. And now, with a broad spectrum of companies and eco-friendly news outlets targeting every type of consumer, there is absolutely no reason for you to not make a conscious effort to reduce your eco-footprint. If you’ve been following us on Twitter (@chic_thrills), you will see that we’ve shared a number of every day green tips. Now, I’d like to share a few of my favorite pretty green products.
The Body Shop Spa Wisdom™ Morocco Black Olive & Argan Oil Scrub, $28
I’ve been using this smooth, luxurious exfoliant scrub for about 3 weeks now. Every time I open the jar, a burst of luscious, deep, intoxicating scents reminiscent of days spent on the Bosphorus and at the Dead Sea take over my senses. I find it leaves my skin smooth, silky, and refreshed after each use. Plain and simple – I’m obsessed! And then when I found out that The Body Shop partnered with Earth Aid, I was even more infatuated.

L'Oréal Professionel The Serie Nature Collection Abondance de Cacao
When I first saw the L’Oréal Professionel Abondance de Cacao shampoo I was a little hesitant to use it. I mean, who wants a brown shampoo that smells like chocolate in their shower? Well, I pushed my apprehensions aside and used it and fell in love – again. Silicone free and 100% natural color, this revitalizing shampoo releases a bouquet of cacao, not chocolate, and fresh mint straight off the sprig during each use. I mean, the second you squeeze the shampoo into your hand, there is this waft of deliciousness that fills the air. It leaves my baby fine hair manageable, full of body and light.
Demeter Dirt, $10
Believe it or not, I’m an “outdoorsey” person. I frequent parks, botanical gardens, and flower shows often. To me, there is nothing that smells more natural and fresh than the great out doors and this Demeter Naturals Dirt embodies this. Made with 100% all natural essential oils, Demeter Dirt consists of 95% natural ingredients and are earth friendly. Available at a price that any chicskate can afford, Dirt and other Demeter scents are a no-brainer.
