Great Green Reads!

If you're looking to learn more about green living, there's nothing that can compare to a good, old book. Here are some of my favorites that have found a home on my bookshelf.

The Green Beauty Guide by Julie Gabriel

This was my first eco-friendly book I purchased and it really sparked my passion for natural cosmetics. It starts off with chapters explaining everything you need to know about your skin and cosmetics. It does a wonderful job at exposing the truth about the cosmetic industry. In addition to tons of useful info, this guide has beauty recipes that you can make right at home. This is a wonderful reference for anyone who wants to make a change in their beauty routine.

Gorgeously Green and Do It Gorgeously by Sophie Uliano

     

Sophie Uliano is the eco-friendly goddess of style and fashion. Her books show any woman how to be green without sacrificing glamour or tons of time. Gorgeously Green was the first one I purchased and it covers everything from beauty and travel, to shopping and cleaning. It's a great all around guide for anyone who wants to green their life, whether it be a little or a lot. Do It Gorgeously is Sophie's DIY guide to everything possible. It includes sewing tips and recipes for beauty products, cleaners, and yummy food.

Practically Green by Micaela Preston

This is the newest addition to my book collection. It's another all around green living book, but without a strong beauty or fashion focus, which makes it great for both men and women. Practically Green breaks down sustainable living in simple steps. The buying guides are my favorite. It lists stores, brands, and websites for everything from food and craft supplies, to toys and clothing. It makes eco-friendly living a no brainer.


Have you read any of these? What's your favorite eco-friendly book? I'm always looking for more to read! :)
