I’ve been obsessing about this absolutely gorge Physician’s Formula refillable compact since Beauty Geeks blogger (and friend) Janine posted about it earlier this week. And while I’m not quite ready to switch all of my makeup to the green variety, I am definitely more aware of what I’m using and interested in exploring the options available. (Be sure to read Lesa Hannah’s great article in Fashion Green Beauty: An Education if you haven’t already).
Anyhow, with all of this greenness top of mind and with Earth Hour this Saturday, this interesting study conducted by psychologists at the University of Toronto that found that the use of green products may make one feel morally virtuous, leading some to act out unethically in other ways caught my eye.

Forget the Birkin or the latest Balenciaga. OK, no, not really (I’d still love to own Le Dix) but the world’s first 100% compostable chip bag, from the folks at SunChips, is kinda cool, especially because I eat a lot of chips. (How much? Let’s just say a lot and leave it at that.) The bag’s made of 90 percent renewable plant sources and in a hot, active compost, it’ll completely break down within 14 weeks.

Does a 6 a.m. yoga class sound like a nightmare to you? I’m totally with ya, but a pair of leggings from Bamjamz, a new Canadian line of sleepwear available exclusively at Holt Renfrew, may help make the notion of getting out of bed and into sun salutations a little easier to wrap your head around.
The sleep wear collection’s made of a blend of bamboo, certified organic stretch cotton and spandex, which translates into a super soft fabric that’s breathable, moisture-wicking, odour-controlling and temperature-regulating.
All of which makes the leggings ideal for yoga practice, meaning you could literally roll out bed in these babies and head straight into hatha class.
Switch into a proper yoga top, though (the tunic and shoulderstand are not a good combo, unless wardrobe malfunction is what you’re aiming for).
From $64.
