Being an Organic girl in a Modern World
Those who know me well, will be the first to tell you that I am no super strong girl living a basic and eco friendly life. I'm what my father refers to as 'delicate', which is his way of saying that I need (or at least feel that I need) to be pampered and looked after more than the average woman.
Recently a friend with loads of experience in all things Organic introduced me to the term Yippy. Any guesses? That's right a cross between a yuppy and a hippy and I have come to realise that for better or for worse, that is exactly what I am!
I had previously termed myself a modern hippy (Well I do like lentils and have been vegetarian for 16 years!)then I thought of myself as a Lazy environmentalist (I do heaps of little things every day to help but I am yet to be found tied to trees), but perhaps yippy is a more accurate term. I say this because while hippies tend to be laid back and relaxed or laying their body on the line to save a tree I am more likely to be wondering where I will be able to find my next swiss water filtered organic decaffe latte made with organic oat milk in my reusable and non-toxic travel mug while writing on my 100% recycled paper.
Then there is makeup...............................I wouldn't say I am a diehard makeup fan, I can go days and sometimes months without it but when it comes down to what I put on my face I am fussy, really fussy and you should be too. When it comes to a big night out I am more likely to turn up naked than without natural mascara (oh the joy of blond eyelashes) and natural blush oh and a little organic lip balm.
The best thing about being a yippy is that you get all the benefits of modern technology and convenience while improving your health and helping to protect the planet. So what am I up to in my eco-conversion? Our next step is converting to natural power (wind and solar). Anyone can do it and it doesn't cost to much at all. Ask your local power supplier today.
So whether you are a yippy, a yuppy, a modern hippy or just a lazy environmentalist; I would love to know your best eco tips on anything from makeup to water saving techniques. Blog on and share your knowlegde with the CleanLife virtual community!

Wow, I can't belive you actually used that term! I laughed so hard i almost woke my sleeping baby! check out Dr hauschka for THE MOST amazing, holistic skin care and cosmetics in the world. Based on anthroposy and biodynamics, theses guys take no short cuts, they even meditate on the herbs before processing them! Their skin care is a lifestyle and a total pamperfest!
Yes, I totally agree that Dr Hauschka have amazing products. I became hooked on their hand cream and the quince day cream while living in London. The whole philosophy behind it is incredible and best of all the products are very luxurious!
