Vegetarian Star — Wed, 23 May 2012 18:42:11 +0000

Alicia Silverstone spoke with PopSugar on her new line of vegan, organic, natural cosmetics, Juice Beauty.

“You can get very overwhelmed with all the choices out there. You have these guidelines. You’re like “Okay, I don’t want to have anything unhealthy. And I don’t want this to hurt the planet. And I don’t want it to hurt animals. And I want it to be amazing.”

That’s not too much to ask for and apparently, Juice Beauty has fulfilled Silverstone’s desires, with cosmetics formulated without animal testing and harsh chemicals, packaged in eco-friendly recycled materials.

Vegetarian Star — Tue, 15 May 2012 22:47:45 +0000

Alicia Silverstone spoke with Entertainment Tonight about her new line of organic beauty products, Juice Beauty.

Silverstone said she was motivated to put her name behind the product because she cares so much about health.

Because the skin is so absorbent, with all the chemicals contained in most cosmetics, Silverstone said you “may as well drink them.”

Alicia Silverstone “Suburgatory” Farmer’s Market Debut (Video)

Vegetarian Star — Wed, 02 May 2012 21:00:04 +0000

Alicia Silverstone makes a debut on ABC’s Suburgatory tonight that seems a little type-casted.

But what vegan wouldn’t mind the honor of being, as Seattle Pi writes, the “farm-raised lass from Montana who instantly has George eating the crunchy, non-processed granola out of the palm of her hand.”

Silverstone’s character Eden meets George at the local Farmer’s Market and things get so steamy we don’t want to know what they do with those fruits and vegetables.

Eden is impressed with her new life and can be heard rambling about it at the beginning of the episode.

“In Chatwin, the grass really is greener. The fruit sweeter. The vegetables snappier. Even the corn seems crunchier. It’s a produce paradise.”

All that and a nice looking man to meet and have a drink over an acidophilus drink.

Eden explains to George she doesn’t drink coffee because, “between the chemicals, pesticides and worker exploitation, it’s basically the devil.”

Watch the clip below to view George’s reaction to the healthier “Kitchen Sink” drink ordered instead. The full episode of ”Entering Eden” can be viewed at ABC.

Suburgatory airs Wednesday 8:30/7:30 c.

Alicia Silverstone Creates Juice Beauty Natural Cosmetics

Vegetarian Star — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 20:46:09 +0000

Alicia Silverstone has teamed up with Juice Beauty, a cosmetics company that specializes in natural and organic ingredients, to create a line of beauty products for the skin and lips.

Silverstone didn’t just agree to put her name and face behind the product. She actually took part in the testing process.

“I am a smell person,” Silverstone said. “So, I was looking for a super yummy smell. I did so many smell tests, it was pretty funny. The texture is really important to me, too, and, obviously, the performance, but I was pretty confident in the combination of ingredients. There is the clinical part of making it work on your skin. Once that part is handled, the fun part is the smell and the texture.”

Silverstone put a lot of effort into the “smelling tests” as it took two years to create Purely Kissable Lip Color, Irresistible Glow Facial Highlighter, Simply Flawless Pressed Powder, Simply Nourishing Moisturizer and Simple Pure Chamomile Cleanser.

Silverstone, a vegan and environmentalist, was the perfect choice to represent the brand, given her commitment to living such an eco-friendly lifestyle.

Karen Behnke, founding partner and chief executive officer of Juice beauty, said, “She has effortless beauty. The Juice Beauty girl is similar: quick and easy. They don’t want harsh chemicals, but they want to feel glamorous.”

Juice Beauty does not conduct tests on animals and formulates products without the use of harsh chemicals like parabens, petroleum, butylene or propylene glycol, PEG, sodium lauryl sulfates, pesticides, phthalates, artificial dyes or synthetic fragrances.

Alicia Silverstone Tops Sexiest Environmentalists List

Vegetarian Star — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:55:11 +0000

She’s sexy and they know it.

Alicia Silverstone has been named one of the top 10 sexiest environmentalists by Rodale.com in its first ever created list.

“Whether they’re high-profile celebrities or up-and-coming environmental experts, our honorees advocate for a cross section of hot-button issues in the environmental community–and that is sexy,” said Leah Zerbe, online editor at Rodale.com. “At Rodale.com, we strive to inspire and enable people to create positive lifestyle changes every day, and calling out the work of these celebrity activists serves as a reminder to get out and support the causes that matter.”

So, she’s a blond with great legs and a cute smile. But what the heck does this Clueless girl do to make her a sexy environmentalist? Oh yeah, she refuses to put animal products in her body, avoiding an industry that produces enough harmful greenhouse gases to rival that of the transportation industry.

“The actress and author of The Kind Diet has been instrumental in opening up the national dialogue about vegan living,” the list reads.

Other sexy celebrities we like include Will Witherspoon, linebacker for the NFL’s Tennessee Titans who turned a hobby farm into a full-blown “Animal Welfare Approved” haven.

Alicia Silverstone Vegan Diet Goes To The Dogs

Vegetarian Star — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 18:49:54 +0000

Alicia Silverstone‘s fans know the actress could probably eat from the same bowl her dogs do. Silverstone placed her pets on a vegetarian diet years ago and has seen positive results.

“Since I changed their diet about 10 years ago, they’ve had no fleas or itchy hot spots,” she said. “Their immune systems got so strong that those things don’t bother them anymore.”

Changing a pet’s diet is no easy decision, but a few experts have some advice on making the decision to put Fido and FeeFee on grains instead of beef. WebMD says the main risks associated with putting pets on vegetarian and vegan diets include inadequate protein intake, amino acid imbalance and vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

“For cats, it’s really inappropriate. It goes against their physiology and isn’t something I would recommend at all,” said Cailin Heinze, VMD, a board-certified veterinary nutritionist and assistant professor of nutrition at Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine.

“For dogs, certainly vegetarian and vegan diets can be done, but they need to be done very, very carefully. There is a lot of room for error, and these diets probably are not as appropriate as diets that contain at least some animal protein.”

Meatless Monday Recipe–Alicia Silverstone Shares Vegetable Broth

Vegetarian Star — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 15:01:53 +0000

There’s nothing worse than reading a can of veggie soup and discovering some genius put beef or chicken stock in it.

The experience can be so frustrating, it makes you want to make your own!

Alicia Silverstone is helping her Kind Life blog followers this week by giving them a recipe for veggie broth by Madeleine Ignon, a San Francisco artist.

Ignon put together the recipe to save money by avoiding buying brands at the grocery store.

The broth uses every part of the vegetable, making it rich and full of flavor while avoiding waste.

She adds this to tomato sauce, hummus and cooks beans, rice and vegetables in it.

Ready to always know what goes into your vegetable broth? Grab the recipe for Ignon’s recipe at The Kind Life.
