Look Great, Live Green

Author: Deborah Burnes, Sumbody Founder and CEO

"Look Great, Live Green" is Burnes' guide to choosing beauty, safety and the health of the planet. Her writing blends her effervescent personality and knowledge of beauty products with a message of activism. The four Hollywood friends she enlists — actresses Kyra Sedgwick and Marcia Gay Harden, former model Keisha Whitaker, and Didiayer Snyder of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition — support her strongly in this message of activism. The book also includes Burnes' “Ten Simple Rules You Can Live By”; advice on Label Reading 101; natural alternatives; and recipes that readers can make in their own home. “Being green doesn't mean spending more green,” states Burnes. “When you stop buying these products there's a cascade effect. You save money, your skin, your health. You save the planet. That's the best ending I could write.”
