As Kermit would say, Green is Beautiful
Mmmm, Fridays are dee-licious!
Today is a good day for a give-away! Today twenty (!!!) lucky folks will receive a copy of Julie Gabriel's The Green Beauty Guide: Your Essential Resource to Organic and Natural Skin Care, Hair Care, Makeup, and Fragrances. It's only very recently that I realized some of the products I was using on my skin and hair had some funky chemicals in them, I don't know why it never occurred to me before. So this is a good read if you're also into that sort of thing, and you could get a free copy! I also haven't read this book, maybe if I am nice they will throw in a 21st copy for me. Whaddyathink?
I'm sorry this is another one of those post-in-the-comments drawings, those are just easier for me on short notice and I am either lazy or on a very overscheduled schedule, but just post in the comments if you want to be entered to win a copy of this book. And a BIG HUGE thank you to my friend and publicist Kim Weiss, who I emailed asking if she'd want to give up a few free copies of this book (I was thinking ya'll would like it) and here I was expecting maybe one or two free copies and she offered up TWENTY! So thank you, Kim!
Also it is Friday and it is going to be thirty degrees cooler today than just two days ago and I am so happy, they ("The U.S. Department of They") are even saying it might rain on Saturday and if I am being totally honest Your Honer YES, YES I was just a little tiny bit disappointed that it wouldn't be maybe-raining on a weekday so I could hear poor New Jersey talk about how THIS CITY IS INSANE and also LEARN TO DRIVE YOU CRAZY CALIFORNIA. Luckily the weather forecast is usually wrong so... you never know...

Update: Thank you everyone for your happy responses! Comments are closed now, but I will randomly draw 20 winners and alert you via email. Thanks everyone and have a great weekend!!

Maybe the rain will get pushed back a day or two and rain on Monday. Then it will be raining AND it will be Monday. New Jersey's mind will explode.

I'm from Southern California and know how crazy they drive in the rain, then I moved to Southern Virginia where they drive crazy in the snow, now I live in northern New England and nothing bothers these drivers except crazy out of state drivers. Enjoy your cooler weather, I do not miss the hot San Fernando Valley, but it has fond memories because my grandparents lived there with their 5 cats.
I would love a copy of the book.

I saw a documentary about America's beauty industry and it was *scary*! In European countries it's against the law to use chemicals that have been shown to cause cancer in beauty and health products...not in America. I buy my products from companies that say to be organic and toxin free but I wonder if they really are. I'd like to see the tips in this book.

It occurred to me at a very young age that there are a bazillion and one chemicals in all the bath and beauty products hanging around in the bathroom. I distinctly remember being 5 years old and trying to read the ingredients in the shampoo bottle out loud. "Butyl-Laurethyl ... Mom, what's this word?"-me "Um ... sound it out?"-mom I don't know how my mother put up with me, lots of eye rolling I would imagine.

I'll still read your blog even if I don't get a book; although an old woman such as I needs all the help she can get in these terrrrrrrrible times.

I'd love to be entered into the drawing! I checked in to your blog today because I was just thinking of you at the grocery store...my newish husband is out of town this weekend, and so instead of buying my usual meal foods I found myself reverting back to single-lady shopping cart mode: 2 bottles of wine, 2 cases of catfood, some guacamole, and some chips. Happy Friday!

I found reasonably priced organic makeup on line and my (ex as of this monday) boyfriend said, "I didn't think you'd fall for that crap." What? That I figured out I don't want to put POISON on my FACE every day? Whatever.
I have no affiliation with this company, but I like their lip balm and shadows: http://www.herbalgrace.com/beliplulipba1.html

First of all: CONGRATS TO DANI!! 6 days smoke-free is amazing! You go, girl! (And your knitting will smell ever so much nicer.)
Secondly, we have a high of 55 degrees in central Maine today. And I finished my Lion Homespun hat this morning. I am wearing it as I type to keep warm in the house--too early in the year to fire up the woodstove.
Last but not least, please enter me in the drawing. Free books are cool! (My kitty Bus is ready to nibble the covers.)

I am so interested in this book! One of my dear friends, Sarah, has been blogging off-and-on (between politics, food, dogs, and "etcetera") on the greenness of cosmetics. Hurm! I am intrigued.

hey I'm totally in for this one. I just switched to all natural bath and body and make-up products this winter, I'm sure the book would be totally interesting. I still can't find any kind of natural mascara... hmmmm
Posted by: emmy lou at October 3, 2008 03:34 PM
Heheheh, as a fresh transplant to the Bay Area, I feel New Jersey's pain. We too are expecting our first real (hopefully, knock on wood) rain this weekend in several months. The sky spat enough rain a few days ago, such that I had to *search for my windshield wiper "on" switch* - that was weird. Always knew where it was before!
Thanks for offering the books - this one I'd like to read! Sign me up ;)

Posted by: Vicki at October 3, 2008 03:44 PM
I'm afraid but awfully curious which products in my beauty regimen aren't up to snuff...
Posted by: Meredith at October 3, 2008 03:45 PM
I wonder if the book discusses poo-free hair care? I've been using baking soda with a vinegar rinse for a while, and it's working for my hair and my budget! The soda's actually good at exfoliating my face, ears, neck, too. So yes, Laurie aka CAP, please enter me in your drawing! And thank you!

yes, please enter me in the drawing. i developed a PPD allergy this year when i dyed my hair (as i've done for years - this is why they tell you to do the skin test 48-72 hrs prior). so now i have to be careful of all manner of commonplace items that contain related chemicals (like parabens). :(
