If you're a fan of Method's natural cleaning products, sustainable packaging and all round good attitude, then you'll be pleased to hear that the San Francisco-based brand has just launched a range of body care products based around the same principles.
The new body care line (most of which is currently only available in the states) consists of body wash, a body bar and hand wash. Just like the home cleaning range, the products come in packaging that's as stylish as it is sustainable, and about as recyclable as plastic gets. One blogger who's tried the range was especially keen on the body wash, saying it was 'rich and luxurious with a wonderful lather leaving the skin with a nice moisturized feeling.' We'll keep you posted on when the products land in the UK, but for now you'll find them in Target Stores.

I'm still amazed by the explosion of natural, cruelty free and vegan products that has happened in the past few months. Only a year ago, such products were in short supply, and what you could find was very expensive.
It's brands like Kitten Vixen that show that times are a-changing. I've been testing their fab new lipgloss range, which is cruelty free, vegan, paraben and petroleum free.

Mineral makeup has long been a well-kept secret among natural beauty afficionados, but now it's hitting the mainstream it's more important than ever to ensure you select a brand that's as natural and ethical as it says it is -- and I can start off by saying you won't have any of these worries where Inika mineral makeup is concerned.
Certified vegan, not tested on animals, GM-free and with reassuringly short ingredient lists, Inika is as pure as it claims to be, but how well does it work? I'm currently testing the Peach Puff Pot available at Edible Beauty for £15. Read on after the jump for my verdict...

I'm curious to know where the sudden surge in vegan-friendly sex toys has come from. Could it be that a dairy-free diet promotes such health and vitality that our vegan friends are in a perpetual state of arousal? Or is it perhaps that most of these items have always been entirely cow-free but are only now starting to be labelled as such? Either way, it's good to know that you can enjoy a bit of hanky-panky without any livestock involved...
And it's no longer just your 'standard' lubricants and rubber johnnies that are going vegan these days either -- a quick glance through a popular online sex toy emporium brought up a vegan-friendly blindfold vegan-friendly cock rings and even a vegan-friendly ball gag (well, I guess if it's going on your mouth you do want to be sure).
On a more serious note, we are all concerned about chemicals we put into our bodies when they're in the form of food, so why should sex aids be any different? Follow the jump for a video on why the natural and vegan-friendly sex aid industry is growing!

Recently, I was sent a little bag of what looked like brown sugar. But the label instructed me to pop it in the bath, and with aching muscles having just lugged a heavy bag across our fair city, I was more than happy to comply.
So what is Skinny Skinny, and how does it aid your bathing experience? It's based on sea salt, which in itself is a fabulous skin healer and cleanser, supplemented with all-natural and 96% organic ingredients. And the company's green record is pretty impressive too...

Neals Yard Remedies has been in the business of providing organic, natrual beauty products for longer than most, with a back catalogue of skincare must-haves you can really trust to be kind to your skin and to the planet. Its range doesn't change fast (it doesn't have to), so I'm always excited to discover they've added a new product.
Or, as in this case, two! The award-winning frankincence range has now been supplemented with a hydrating cream and mist.

Getting your hair done in a salon should be a relaxing experience. It requires friendly but not to talkative staff, a selection of up to date magazines, and of course a complimentary glass of champers. However, when you're offered a wine-list from the comfort of the chair you realize you've arrived somewhere really special. Enter the world of Karine Jackson, a finalist for the L'Oreal Colour Trophy and London Hairdresser of the year 2007. She's going to sort me out with a gorgeous colour today, using an Organic hair colour system. [Via Kiss & Makeup]
