Diesel, A Bookstore in Oakland is pleased to welcome Deborah Burnes to the store to discuss and sign her new book, Look Great, Live Green: Choosing Beauty Solutions That Are Planet-Safe and Budget-Smart, in which she explains that body care and eco-consciousness need not be mutually exclusive, on Tuesday, May 11 at 7pm.

In Part I of this timely book, Deborah Burnes explains the historical roots of the search for beauty, and how it has led to a $60 billion cosmetics industry that misleads and confuses consumers on everything from product effectiveness to toxicity. In Part II, Burnes details options for buying natural and organic products in a range of budgets, with each graded on a "good," "better," or "best" scale in terms of chemical content and overall health impact. Part III discusses the positive effects chemical-free products have on overall health, and how those effects are expressed in the appearance of our skin. Part IV contains a wealth of facts, tips, and shortcuts to help consumers experience living green and enhancing personal beauty. Written in an engaging style but based in science, Look Great, Live Green offers a fresh perspective on living an eco-friendly, body-friendly, beauty-friendly lifestyle.
