How To Clean Makeup Brushes Naturally by theorganicbunny on May 25, 2018July 26, 2021 When it comes to makeup brushes, did you know that you are technically supposed to wash them after every use? As you can imagine, our makeup brushes are a breeding ground for bacteria so while I don’t wash mine daily, I do understand the importance of clean brushes so I try to do it as often as I can. A popular question that I get asked often, though, is how do I clean them!? While I used to use Dr. Bronners, as of lately, I have switched to my Aleavia body wash, any scent, and I do find that it works even better to get my brushes squeaky clean and stay super soft. So, here is a quick breakdown of exactly how I clean my makeup brushes, naturally! Read More

What To Expect When Switching to Green Beauty by theorganicbunny on April 15, 2018April 5, 2021 One of the most common emails we see here at Organic Bunny is from people switching to new, cleaner routines and not getting the results they were hoping for right away. So, today’s Skin Saving Sunday tip for those transitioning into green beauty is to remember- many things can disrupt your transition from conventional to clean, however, one major cause, that we see almost daily, is that people are still using irritating products alongside their new, much gentler options OR, they are not using their new products exactly as directed. While we never insist people buy everything at once, we do strongly urge people at least swap out the same areas of the skin together as using an irritating cleanser but then using a gentle lotion over, can sometimes be pointless as you are still irritating the skin with the harsh cleanser. When it comes to your face, it is most ideal to stop everything conventional entirely, literally stop everything, and allow your skin that time to adjust, detox, and rebalance. Read More
Best Natural Products to Pack for a Mani Pedi by theorganicbunny on April 3, 2018April 5, 2021 It’s rare I find time to get a pedicure these days but when I do, you better believe I like to pack my own products to bring along! I have done this a zillion times and I’ve never had any issues with a salon not letting me, you may get a few weird looks but hey, people already think we’re crazy so you might as well just go for it! I usually just ask them when I check in if they will be able to use my products due to having allergies to certain things. This just makes it easier for them to understand instead of trying to explain why you do not want to use their most likely toxic products. So, to give you a better idea of how I go about this, here are my favorite items to pack when pedicure bound! Read More

How To Keep Natural Makeup From Smudging by theorganicbunny on February 15, 2018March 12, 2023 When it comes to makeup, one of the most common questions I get asked is how to keep your natural makeup from smudging!?
