Imperfect Environmentalist

I'm adding a new book to SMACK!'s Book Corner, The Imperfect Environmentalist by Sara Gilbert (Ballentine, 2013). You 90s folks will recognize her as Darlene Connor from the sit-com Roseanne, and now she's a host on CBS' The Talk. 

The book just dropped this week, and with it Gilbert is extending her reach beyond television, into that nefarious land of 'influence' and 'inspiration.' Think Gwyneth Paltrow minus a few layers of snobbery.

Light reading

We're debuting a new section here at SMACK! It's called 'Book Corner' and you'll find it among the tabs on the site's homepage. As the name suggests, it's a collection of suggested reading material that will give you more insight into the reckless nature of the manufacture of cosmetics and health and beauty products.

I know this is preaching to the choir for most of you, since we're like-minded in believing that slowly poisoning ourselves on a daily basis is not really a good thing. But, nonetheless, it's good to know where to turn when we want to know more.

Please note: the books I've listed are suggested. Not recommended, yet. Just like our product reviews, SMACK! will publish original, unbiased reviews for the books as we get our grubby little hands on them. In the meantime, if you have a strong opinion (either way, 'cause haters gonna hate) about a book or product you see on SMACK!, let us know! And if there's a book or product you want us to review, let us know that, too!

Happy Reading!
