Many of you may be familiar with the ‘not so pretty’ side of fashion. The site was originally created to be a voice for the conscious side of fashion and beauty. Promoting, showcasing and discussing all aspects of fashion ---from the business, to the marketing to the creating, has always been a primary motive of the Green News Guide. The fashion industry is ever evolving as designer houses become more conscious in their practices and methods for production. We desire to continue to see houses and companies embrace clean beauty and fashion.

2016 turned out to be one of the best years of my life. It was the year that I realized that only I have the power to make all of my dreams come true. It was also the year that I turned 30, marking three decades of life lived on earth! I’ve heard other people claim that a bright light suddenly goes off once you hit the third decade. I don’t know if that’s completely true, but I will say that it kind of feels like it might be! While doing my annual end of year reflections, I thought about a book that I read about 5 or 6 years ago. The book is called, “The Five Love Languages” written by Gary Chapman. It is one of those ‘once you read it, life suddenly becomes clearer’ books! What are the Five Love Languages? Before reading this book, I did realize that people give and show love in different ways but I was not aware of the classification system that demonstrates the various love languages that people have. Your spouse’s way of showing love may be completely different than your ow...

They actually came up with the idea of Blk Water after visiting a food show that featured two sisters by the name of Jacqueline and Louise Wilkie, who are partners at Blk. After their mother had been diagnosed with terminal bone cancer, they created a fulvic acid mixture and gave it to her. Her cancer was miraculously eradicated. Blk water contains a mineral compound of fulvic acid. fulvic acid is known to Ayurveydic circles as “shilajeet.” It has been used in healing remedies for almost 60 years. Many individuals in these circle...
