The Clean Beauty Guide Podcast

It's September, so it is *officially* fall in my book. That means exciting new arrivals for my clean beauty shop - Green and Glenn. Grab a cup of your favorite drink and cozy up - this one is a long one.

Whew. It's been a long time coming...a lot of late nights and lots of love getting ready to launch Green and Glenn Beauty into the world (alongside my husband). We are a consciously curated clean beauty boutique, shipping from Fayetteville, AR. This episode covers everything from the idea, how we picked the name, why we're different, the crazy year that led up to launch, our first day of launch, and so much more. 

The beauty world moves FAST and clean beauty is no exception. There seems like there is something new launching every week and if you're a product junkie like me, this can be tiring and a lot of fun simultaneously. That's why this week I'm sharing 6 recent beauty launches from brands like RMS, Kosas, Osea, and more that you might have missed! These are the launches caught my eye and had me ready to click "add to cart."

Hey there, budget babes! I see you! One of the biggest barriers for most people trying to get into the clean beauty space is the cost of products! I started my clean beauty journey working part time at a start-up, so I've been there and I understand the struggle! You want better for you and your household, but you also want to buy responsibly!

In this episode I share 5 of the best tips and tricks I have for making clean beauty feel more affordable and manageable. Just like in the world of conventional beauty, there are products in all price ranges (from drugstore to high end and luxury!). In the end doing clean beauty on a budget is all about taking your time by replacing products slowly, budgeting intentionally, and getting creative! I can't wait for y'all to tune in.

When I first started my clean beauty journey I was seriously bummed about having to start over from scratch on my entire makeup routine. I had only been trying to find the best products since I was, I don't know, 13 years old...no big deal. Psh. It's not like I scoured Sephoras on the weekend like it was my job or hung on every word of Youtube beauty influencers or saved every little penny from my part time job in order to buy, what I considered, must have makeup. Nah.

JUST KIDDING. I totally did those things and it was frustrating that I had found products that I loved and now had to part ways with in the name of health and wellness. So, I made it my mission from the very get-go of this clean beauty thing to try and find products that worked just as well as, if not better, than my old conventional favorites. And guess what? I totally have...at least on most accounts!

Even better, I've been able to find some exact or near-exact dupes for some of my old favorite products and I'm sharing them with you today!

Starting your clean beauty journey can be lots of things - exciting, frustrating, confusing, and so much more! One of the first questions I wanted to ask others who went down this road before me was, “Where the heck do you shop for this stuff?!” So, today I'm letting you in on some of my absolute favorite places to shop clean (and some may even surprise you!).
