In the Wardrobe: Go natural without breaking the bank

So I'll admit, I've been trying to get a little more natural when it comes to my wardrobe, but is it just me or is everything that is a little more eco-friendly either too expensive or sort of look like you're wearing a tire? So what's a modern girl to do? Well, I've discovered a few ways to get a little more natural without feeling like I've lost my sense of style and my life's savings along with it.

First, check out youdeserve.com. It's an eco-friendly overstock site that sells items at 30-70% off. So all of those items you would want to buy are there, but for less. So you can get groovy, and feel good about it.

Second, think beyond the basics! If you haven't already checked out the lower priced organic cotton lines at inexpensive retailers like American Apparel® and Loomstate at Target...RUN don't walk to try them. But today other materials are being used too! Bamboo is making its way into clothing, and as a totally sustainable material that's easy to dye and as soft as cotton, it's a great alternative. Also look for coconut. That's right, coconut shells are not only the latest material to decorate handbags but can even be woven into clothing fibers!

Now once you've got these great materials treat them carefully! Use natural cleaning solutions like Seventh Generation® which not only can cost less than your favorite big brand, but have fewer chemicals and may help your fabulous fashions look better longer.

And finally, don't forget about the most important accessory to your wardrobe...YOU!!! Drink plenty of water, get your beauty sleep and make sure to keep the biggest part of your body looking beautiful, your skin. Try using Jergens® Naturals® Daily Moisturizer as one more way to add a natural element to your life. Jergens® Naturals® Ultra Hydrating Daily Moisturizer more than doubles the moisture in your skin once you put it on. How do you like them coconuts?!

Whichever way you try, you'll get some new duds and feel good about taking care of yourself and the world!
