One of my personal goals is to completely green up my everyday beauty routine. I want to be an ethical consumer, one who is educated about companies and what they really do. I no longer want to support companies that support and partake in animal testing or use unfair and unethical means of producing their products (such as child labour). Pampering yourself is very important, but I want to start doing so by making my own stuff. Making my own toothpaste, shampoo, lotions and other sweet products that will allow me to try something new, as well as save some money (and maybe the planet…I’m a big thinker). So I invite you to join in the same journey that I’m taking. Green up your beauty routine. Be informed. Try new things. And hold to your values. 

This is what I need to change in mine:

1. no more aerosol shaving gels, once I finish my current one, I will dispose of it correctly and start moving on to alternatives such a shaving creams or baby oil.
2. no more buying unnecessary products. I’m so fascinated with all things beauty, and I tend to accumulate a lot of stuff. That is a lot of stuff that gets wasted and eventually thrown out.
3. Minimize heat to my hair as much as possible. Embrace my natural, frizzy hair and tame it with oil and conditioner. 

So I’m going to putting up links on this blog that will show you: ethical companies (a list I will build by doing research and lots of it!) and diy (all the products I attempt to make) and reviews (reviewing green beauty products, yea they may be green, but do they work?)Stay tuned!

Product Photography

Since the beginning of March, I have been interning at O’BON USA as a product photographer. The company specializes in environmentally friendly school supplies such as pencils made from newspaper, and notebooks made from sugarcane. 

Now I certainly did not have all the lighting and equipment that professional product photographers have. To be honest trying to replicate those results with what little equipment I had forced me to be creative. All I can say is, having a lot of pieces of white paper around helps tremendously (and lots of tape to go along with it) - you just need to position papers around the object to best position all the light available. 

That being said, there is one thing you must need in shooting products - a tripod. When doing product photography, one of the main goal is to have consistency across the range of products. You cannot have one picture looking different from the other. Hence having a tripod with the camera set to the same position and setting means that all you have to do is put the products at the same spot to produce the same image.

In terms of editing, there is one caveat when it comes to product photography, especially when shooting small things. That is what you see in the photography is essentially a blown up view of the object, meaning the view is very zoomed in. At this point, be very careful during sharpening, because when an object is blown up like this, sharpening noise shows itself very easily (even when you mask the hell out of it).

Colourless: Eco friendly Package

A convex logo substitutes colorfully sprayed can. Naked can help to reduce air and water pollution occurred in its coloring process. It also reduces energy and effort to separate toxic color paint from aluminum in recycling process. Huge amount of energy and paint required to manufacture colored cans will be saved. Instead of toxic paint, manufacturers process aluminum with a pressing machine that indicates brand identity on surface.

DIY: Solid Perfume

Perfumes in the industry today contain a lot of harsh and unnecessary chemicals. Make your own natural & sweet smelling perfume!

Fun guy chillin’ in South American rainforest finds plastic-eating fungi

Seriously, though this is kind of a big deal. Know that big problem we have? You know, the one involving a crapload of used plastic hanging around in landfills with nowhere to biodegrade for a couple million years? Well, Jonathan Russell might’ve solved that problem. See, Russell and his fellow Yale students went to Ecuador, where they found a new kind of fungus they’re calling Pestalotiopsis microspora. Big deal, you’re thinking. Anyone can find fungus anywhere! Well, something his fellow students found out after the fact is that this fungus can live on a diet of polyurethane alone — and even crazier, it doesn’t even need air to do so! In other words, we could potentially put it at the bottom of a landfill and cover it with plastic, and it would do the rest of the work. This might be game-changing if it works as advertised.
