We have never been so smitten with a product before than Ojon's Restorative Treatment. We love, love, love this product. We've tried countless hair treatments and have raided the local Sephora far too many times but this... this stuff is the real deal.

We first heard about Ojon when our silly obsession with Gisele Bunchen's long mane brought us to the word. "Gisele uses Ojon. Must learn more." Apparently a little tribe in Central America called the Miskito Indians has been harvesting the fruits of the tree that bears the Ojon oil for centuries. When the tribe was discovered one of the first things noted was their stunning hair and skin. We mean, well... hot damn, just check out that kid's hair in the picture!

Still not convinced? Here are some more reasons you should totally give this stuff a whirl.

By this point we've all heard how important it is to buy eco-friendly products, and that includes fashion. But is it all just hype? Just another marketing gimmick employed by corporate America to try and get us to spend more dollars but feel less guilty about doing it? Many companies have been accused of greenwashing, and it's certainly true that buy buy buy is not the way to help our environment.

No matter what though, people will always want to dress in a way that makes them feel good about the way they look. We shouldn't have to compromise style in our quest to save the planet. Sure, we need to adjust our habits, but that doesn't mean that we'll all end up looking like a bunch of dirty hippies. Here's our list of the top 5 ways to really green up your wardrobe.

Local farmers are the new organic

Organic food is a $15 billion business here in the America. The organic economy is bolstered, among other things, by food safety awareness and a desire for sustainable production. But organic food is something a double-edged sword. Is it better for your body? Absolutely! But is it better for the earth? Not necessarily (shipping, packaging and expensive marketing are just a few of the ills you fund when you buy organic).

As a result, a new food movement has gained popularity across the country. Instead of shopping at natural grocery stores that sell organic products from afar, these consumers buy directly from local farmers through a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture).

In case you don't know what a CSA is (I didn't), a word of explanation might be in order:

Community Supported Agriculture groups consist of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation so that the farmland becomes, either legally or spiritually, the community's farm, with the growers and consumers providing mutual support and sharing the risks and benefits of food production. Typically, members or "share-holders" of the farm or garden pledge in advance to cover the anticipated costs of the farm operation and farmer's salary. In return, they receive shares in the farm's bounty throughout the growing season, as well as satisfaction gained from reconnecting to the land and participating directly in food production.

If thinking globally, but acting locally is something you aspire to, community supported agriculture is a great way to go. It's good for your body, good for your local economy and most importantly, it's good for the earth. And the best part is that there is probably an existing CSA in your town -- Local Harvest's website has a database that is searchable by zip code.
