Eco-friendly and stylish the 'My Other Bag' totes are just what you need

April 24, 2013
While as much as you only want to carry a Louis Vuitton bag to the Farmer’s Market, we all know that sticking your fresh flowers and strawberries in it, isn’t the best idea. That’s why you need the whimsical and stylish ‘My Other Bag’ totes for trips to the market or for your next beach day. Made in Los Angeles, the reusable totes are made of cotton canvas and are currently available in 16 different prints featuring mock-ups of designer purses that most of us dream of owning one day. I think it’s the perfect alternative for any purse-loving mom to carry to the grocery store, as for me, it might be the only time I do carry a Chanel purse on my arm.

Make a trendy terrarium for your home to honor Earth Day

April 22, 2013
I’m not very good at keeping my plants alive in my house but I do love seeing the greenery every time I walk by it. So in honor of Earth Day, I’m planning on planting a fancy terrarium with the kids to make our house a little more “green” both in color and in theory. Snag your favorite glass terrarium then just add soil, moss, small plants like ferns or succulents and pebbles to make a plain glass jar into its own greenhouse. For an extra dose of style, add ceramic figures like mushrooms, gnomes, butterflies or snails. For additional directions on how to build your own, visit the design lab at www.westelm.com.

Live Air Plants $19.50 - Pottery Barn

Stella McCartney lingerie for less

November 21, 2012
I’m a firm believer in that it’s not just what you wear but what you also wear underneath it all that counts. If you’re comfortable starting from essentials like bras and underwear, then the day will just be that much better. Stella McCartney gets that and that’s why she’s launched a new line of lingerie that is considerably more budget-friendly and also eco-friendly. With bras ranging from $55 to $65 and underwear from $26 to $30, the lingerie is made from organic cotton and recycled metal hardware. I must say with the on trend prints matched with the comfortable organic cotton fabric, I may have found the perfect holiday gift for myself.

Summer must-have: reusable swim diaper from The Honest Company

August 13, 2012
We’ve spent a lot of time in the pool this summer and have gone through so many of those disposable swim diapers with the baby that it’s ridiculous. It’s about time someone came up with a really good reusable swim diaper that can stand the test of time. Jessica Alba’s new eco-friendly company, The Honest Company, that launched earlier this year has just added new products to its already eco-friendly line including a reusable swim diaper that is not only super stylish but is also budget and user-friendly too. Coming in two distinct prints, stripes and scales, the swim diaper is made of stretchy, waterproof and hygienic polyester knit material that can be washed and reused all summer long. The swim diaper has an adjustable waist and expandable leg openings so it won’t chaff your baby’s skin and it is chlorine and fade-resistant making it the perfect companion for your pool and beach outings.

Welcome baby with fresh air via Green Your Air

May 3, 2012
It’s spring time which means that there are tons of babies being born right now and I’m pretty sure you’re in need of a unique gift idea. Sure you could go with the typical cheeky onesie or a stroller blanket but how about a gift that gives the baby a breath of fresh air — a plant from Green Your Air. Unlike flowers that die in a few days time, a beautiful plant will last a long time and they have two plants, the Fortis and the Viridis, that filters the air of chemicals like formaldehyde, benzene, xylene, tuolene and trichloroethylene. Arriving in an eco-friendly, non-toxic pot that is trendy with chevrons or classic with a modern floral design, the plants are the perfect arrival gift for a newborn baby and their family because it’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Looking around at a Farmers Market, you think to yourself…”that cute top cannot be eco-friendly” — or can it? Sure it can.

Box Play helps turn ordinary boxes into extraordinary toys

November 10, 2011
Give kids an expensive toy and what do they play with first? The box, of course. And who can blame them? A box can be so many things…spaceship, turtle house, bridge. The parents behind the company Box Play recognized their own child’s love of boxes and ran with the idea. Today they create eco-friendly stickers that are sized to fit household packaging like egg cartons, tubes, cereal boxes and milk cartons. A rectangular tissue box becomes a chic clutch, an egg carton becomes a piano, an empty toilet paper roll becomes a bowling pin. It’s a great way to upcycle items you might otherwise recycle or throw away, plus it fuels great creativity and imagination for just a few dollars.

Customize your baby carrier with slip covers from My Little Roo

July 29, 2011
If you have an infant, you probably also have some sort of baby carrier. While they offer many benefits (durability, safety, convenience), they can rarely be called stylish. And when they need to be laundered, you wind up waiting hours for them to air dry. It’s exciting, then, to find one product that practically solves all the downsides of the standard baby carrier: the My Little Roo Slip Cover. Designed to fit the top carriers on the market, these covers feature stylish prints and extra pockets. Plus, when they become soiled, you just remove the covers and toss them into a machine washer and dryer. See the entire line of baby carrier slip covers and discover how they work at mylittleroo.com.

Clean your hands & do good for the environment with Eco Clean Wild Fruits Hand Wash

May 3, 2011
Eco-Clean-Hand-Wash-Wild-Fruits.jpgWe’re mildly obsessed with hand washes. And while we know there’s nothing wrong with Softsoap, sometimes we like to indulge ourselves just a little bit. So when we came across Eco Clean Wild Fruits Hand Wash—which not only smells amazing but is environmentally friendly—we were immediately intrigued.

The entire range of Eco Clean products is non-toxic and made from sugar beets—a sustainable, renewable, biodegradable resource that comes from Danish farms on the island of Falster. Each product in the line, like Wild Fruits Hand Wash, is made from plant and sugar based surfactants and fragranced with essential oils (think orange rosemary, spicy lavender and cool mint).

The hand wash is also allergy-friendly and paraben-free, which makes it perfect for even the fussiest of kids’ skin. (Or adults!)

And the Wild Fruits scent? So sweet and juicy smelling, and it just puts us in the best mood!

Eco Clean Wild Fruits Hand Wash retails for $4.99 at drugstore.com.
