Whether it’s for Halloween, a school play or just play time at home, avoid the temptation to use face paints that you find at costume supply stores. Many face paints are full of toxic chemicals like lead, arsenic and mercury, and are incredibly unhealthy for anyone to wear. You can make your own right at home: Just add a little water to cornstarch and mix to face-paint consistency, then mix in a few drops of all-natural food coloring. Stir and apply for the perfect food-grade face paint!

Got a few splotches of grease on your favorite shirt? Grease stains can be a nightmare to remove, so when they happen, reach for this: chalk. Chalk is a naturally absorbent material and acts like a sponge with whatever it comes in contact with. Simply rub chalk all over the grease stain and let it sit for a few hours, then dab a little dish soap on top (also a great degreaser) before tossing it in the washing machine to launder clean. Works every time!

Sure, the greenest option is to wear a certified organic perfume that’s free of harsh chemicals or artificial anything, or to wear nothing at all! But if you love a conventional fragrance, there’s one thing you can do to make it better for you: Wear the solid version. Spray scents use chemicals called phthalates, which help fragrances last longer. Phthalates are hormone disrupters that have been linked to cancer, and many people are choosing to avoid them. Solid scents let you apply directly to your skin, which lessens the risk of harm the perfume can cause your system.
