I also love that all of Zutano‘s organic basics make dressing a newborn easy-peasy and that all of the pieces are super cozy and soft – what better way to welcome a little one into the world.

Green Holiday Giveaway #23: EcoSwim Swimsuit [Your Choice]

Do you have a winter beach vacation on your calendar? If so, giveaway number twenty-three will make you squeal. It’s sponsored by EcoSwim and they are offering your choice of eco-friendly swimsuit worth $150!


EcoSwim really grabbed my attention with their gorgeous, high quality swimsuits, that are fashionable and eco-conscious! Don’t they look like they would be super wearable? I like that EcoSwim offers many different styles of swimsuits and their one-piece, tankini and skirted swimsuits are just as beautiful as their two-pieces. Bravo.  


EcoSwim conducts regular beach clean-ups and has an environmental partnership with United Blue – they are working together on ocean conservation! EcoSwim embraces sustainable technologies and methods and is always reducing their carbon footprint. 

If I were the winner, I would choose the Ecotini – I think it is perfection! Which would you choose?

Green Holiday Giveaway #19: Urban Lace | Recycled Bicycle Inner Tube Jewelry

Hello, Friends. I am sorry for the delay in getting the last two giveaways of the day up. The day just kind of got away from me, does that ever happen to you? Giveaway number nineteen is sponsored by Urban Lace Jewelry. They are giving one winner a fantastic recycled bicycle inner tube wrist cuff!

Urban Lace Jewelry specializes in making unique eco-friendly designer jewelry that is created from recycled bicycle inner tubes collected from local Portland bike shops. Urban Lace’s goal is to make high quality, high fashion, environmentally friendly products that people love to wear. Inner tubes are not only durable, flexible and waterproof, they can also be beautiful is the thinking at Urban Lace.

I love how Urban Lace Jewelry has taken something that would usually be tossed into the trash and gives it new life as something fantastic. The jewelry would look great paired with a cocktail dress this holiday season or dressed down with your jeans and tee. Either way, you will have a piece of jewelry that will have a high impact on everyone you meet and a low-impact on the environment!

Jump over to Urban Lace Jewelry and pick up a piece of jewelry for someone you love.
