Welcome!

Thanks so much for visiting Freckles to Toes! I wanted to use this first post to give a background of sorts on the goal behind this blog. The green movement has gained momentum, dare I say it has become trendy? Words like "green," "natural," and "organic" have infiltrated household phrases. But sometimes they are misused. Over the last few years I have gained a greater appreciation for reading ingredient labels on my beauty products, in addition to those on the food I eat. I am continually surprised by how the brand name and claims on the front of the package are contradicted by the ingredient label on the back. I have no doubt that everyone else has been just as frustrated and confused as me at one point.

That's where I come in! I have talked the ears off all my friends about the shampoos they shouldn't use and the toothpastes that are unsafe and my flavor of the week sunscreens. It was my boyfriend who finally told me to start a blog and share all my randomly acquired knowledge and wild opinions. He did probably bear the brunt of most of my rants about chapstick and conditioner, poor guy.

Thanks to him, you now get to hear my rants, and hopefully learn from what I've learned. If it falls under the category of "Green" or "Beauty," and somewhere between your freckles and your toes, you can find it here. Enjoy!
