Eco-friendly hair color. It’s so enigmatic it deserves its own sentence fragment. Does it really exist? Can you get lasting hair color without color-binding ammonia? Is a brunette really a redhead and a blonde really a blonde when false colors are involved? Does George Clooney really mean that he’s never getting married? (Sorry, just threw that in there.) Some experts estimate that between 65 to 75 percent of women dye their hair, and it is believed that the practice goes all the …

Last Wednesday night was cold and rainy in Los Angeles, but the streets of Hollywood were green. Crowded outside the legendary Avalon Hollywood, the green glitterati walked the artificial green grass carpet to party the night away at the 7th Annual Global Green Pre-Oscar bash.

Together with a host committee including James Cameron and Suzy Amis Cameron, the party was dubbed “Greener Cities for a Cooler Planet.” The soiree focused on raising funds and awareness for Global Green’s national initiatives to fight climate change. And witness to it all …

We decided to make it a little easier for you and go behind the scenes with a few of our favorite eco bloggers.

It’s a whole wild world of green fashion out there, and sometimes it can be hard to know who’s in, who’s out, and who is giving Stella McCartney’s green eco-couture a real run for its money. So we went out into the world of green fashion to pick out some of the coolest, greenest ecofashionistas to follow. Some design the green goods, some write about eco-fashion, but all of them promote the environment, the health of their wearers and the working conditions of people in the fashion industry. And all of them deserve a major shout out …

As you probably already know, it’s not easy being green in the world of personal hygiene. And navigating the world of green toothpaste is a little like trying to find a designer handbag at a thrift store – lots of dodging of formidable land mines (aka shopaholics) who are determined to find that $50 Kate Spade, even if it means blowing up a few people along the way.

Why is it so hard? Well, there’s the mystery that is fluoride and fluoride-free. The anti-fluoride camp thinks …

The holidays are behind us, and that means one thing – dreams of sugarplums dancing in our heads have turned to nightmares of cellulite chasing our posteriors. Because even the best eater is going to sample a homemade white chocolate chip mocha cookie when it’s offered piping hot from the stove, right? (This is me, raising my hand.) And the best eater might even have another cookie – or six. Who’s to say?

And besides all the awesome baked goods we may or may not have consumed over the holidays, there are also …

At the moment, I am battling the worst cold I’ve had in years. Yes, it is so bad that I have dragged myself out of bed to work, hoping that it will distract me from the constant sneezing, headache, and a nose that feels like it should be tied off. Work will save me, right?

In this case, yes! Because as fate would have it, I’ve been tasked to research homemade cold and flu remedies. The fact that fate also reduced my New Year’s Eve celebration to being …

I am not Ultimate Eye Shadow Girl.

You know who I’m talking about – the girl who applies awesome eye shadow with such ease and flair that she must be a secret- agent-supermodel who can disarm a bomb from memory and never, ever trip in her high heels. She always has artfully applied eye shadow, and she always looks amazing and not the least bit clownish in it.

I have always wanted to be Ultimate Eye Shadow Girl. And it looks like this might be the year it actually happens.
