Looking for style advice? Eco living tips? These 10 eco friendly bloggers can help!
By Alexandria Beyer
It’s fair to say that blogs are as popular today as magazines were for years. Today, instead of popping into the local newsagents for a weekly fix of glossy gossip, we’re now opening up our phone, laptop and tablet browsers and reading our favourite sites.
For eco-lifestyle lovers, this is a great thing. Sustainability hasn’t yet hit the mainstream, so blogs are still our very best source of information on the topics that interest us most. The issue is, they can be a little bit difficult to find. Unless you know exactly what you’re looking for, of course.
But never fear! Whether it’s organic beauty, zero-waste living or sustainable fashion, we’ve found 10 eco friendly bloggers. No matter if you’re into green fashion, eating or travel, we think you’ll love these women!

5. The Glamorganic Goddess
This is a healthy beauty and lifestyle blog by Danielle Messina. She’s a young breast cancer survivor whose story motivated her to go green with her skincare and makeup.
In 2009, when she was only 31, Danielle was diagnosed with stage II breast cancer. This came totally out of the blue: there was no history of the disease in her family, and was a huge shock, as this young woman was a healthy former pro figure skater. After two surgeries and radiation, (she opted out of chemo and Tamoxifen after learning that the side effects included other forms of cancer) Danielle is thankfully well again, and has since chosen a more natural lifestyle.
As a figure skater, she had been wearing makeup since she started training at the age of 4, and she clued in that maybe chemicals in cosmetics contributed to her cancer. Determined to turn her pain into purpose, Danielle has publicly documented her journey on The Glamorganic Goddess and is on a mission to find the very best clean beauty products.

We love Noa’s style – and her open, warm and eternally friendly attitude!

Great article. Only don’t forget to mention not so well known great bloggers who I find even more inspiring like http://www.lapepaboutique.com which is not well known due to google rank or SEO.
Your article is a great inspiration as well as all these eco pretty women! This week the blog http://www.ecohunterjulia.com celebrates its first anniversary. It describes a way of a young family from Eastern Europe to sustainable life and gives a lot of tips for eco lifestyle to the audience.
I’m vegan and healthy girl, really care about ecology, but I also love beauty and to be fabulous. Not always easy with ethical brands. I’m new on the blogger world, I’ve decided to come back to a very old project and start again a new one, more engaged and continual. Will do my best with researches, interviews and reviews to be able to help this cause and help to push things going to the ethical directions. I truly believe that is possible to be a princess with an eco friendly wardrobe and lifestyle, without renounces.
I visited these blog you reviewed and found great inspirations from these girls. They are amazing!
I’m happy to found out your magazine and follow your work, can’t wait to discover the other posts on the website. Best wishes. Irene
