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

December 2, 2011 0

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.

Green Holiday Giveaway #18: Boutique Cascades Christmas Tree + Gift Wrap

December 1, 2011 0

Giveaway number eighteen is fantastic and right in time for the holidays! It’s sponsored by Boutique Cascades and they are offering a recycled Piccolo Christmas Tree and recycled gift wrap!

The Piccolo Christmas Tree is the perfect size to use as a centerpiece on your dining room table! You could place it on a table and stack gifts underneath for a more dramatic look! It would be a great Christmas tree for a child’s bedroom, small apartment or office. The possibilities are endless. Boutique Cascades’ Christmas Trees are beautifully designed out of 100% recycled FSC certified cardboard making them simple to assembly and easy to store after the holidays.

Boutique Cascades’ wrapping paper comes in beautiful holiday designs and is made using 100% recycled fibers, printed with water-based inks! I love the designs – the stripes, the deer, oh my! And these are the large rolls, not those dinky rolls of wrapping paper from the big-box store. If you click here and scroll all the way to the bottom, you can print out your own fabulous holiday gift wrap – as a bonus!

Jump over to Boutique Cascades and check out all of their lovely + eco, friendly holiday goodies.

Green Holiday Giveaway #17: J.R. Watkins Natural Lotions

December 1, 2011 0

Giveaway number seventeen will be perfect for the cold winter months ahead. It’s sponsored by J.R. Watkins and they are giving away a set of 6 of their full size hand + body lotions! 
J.R. Watkins has been my favorite for all-purpose home care products for a long time. We are huge fans of their all-purpose cleaners, dish soap, window cleaner and bathroom cleaners. Not only do we use them in our home, but we keep them stocked in our RV too. Why so much love? J.R. Watkins has been around for a long time, since 1868 to be exact – which means they know what they are doing when it comes to natural home and body care products. Plus, did I mention the way they smell? Fantastic, these products come in the best scents. And the products actually work really, really well!

The lucky winner will receive 6 full-size bottles of J.R. Watkins Hand & Body Lotion. Lucky! A bottle of Mango, Lavender, Coconut Milk + Honey, Lemon Cream, Grapefruit and Vanilla. These lotions are thick without being sticky and smell delicious. The lotions are paraben-free, phthalate-free, propylene glycol-free and dye free. And when it comes to packaging, [which I am a huge sucker for] J.R. Watkins takes the cake!

I am a huge fan of fruity smells so my favorite J.R. Watkins lotions are the Lemon Cream, Vanilla, Mango, Coconut Milk + Honey and the Grapefruit! Really, I couldn’t choose just one. We seriously have a bottle in every room of our house. Oh yeah, and one in the car and the R.V.

Jump over to J.R. Watkins and pick up some cleaners + product care products for winter.

November 30, 2011 0
The final giveaway of the day is sponsored by Naturopathica. They are giving the lucky winner a plant cell serum – perfect for making you look your best all holiday season long.

We love Naturopathica products at Casa de Sweet Greens! Mr. Sweet uses their shave cream and I am a huge fan of the Calendula Essential Hydrating Cream and the Pumpkin Purifying Enzyme Peel! Naturopathica eliminates harmful synthetics and skin irritants and adds clinically proven ingredients that provide real benefits, leaving your skin glowing!

Naturopathica’s plant cell serum is an ECOCERT certified organic concentrated serum that is designed to significantly slow down the aging of cells due to inflammation caused by UVA damage and oxidative stress. Really? What more could you ask for in a holiday gift this year?

If I won this giveaway, I think I would have to keep it for myself – it sounds like a product that I would really enjoy.

Green Holiday Giveaway #14: Plank Art-on-Mat Series Yoga Mat

November 30, 2011 69
Feeling a little stressed this holiday season? Giveaway number fourteen is for you! It’s sponsored by Plank Yoga Mats. They are giving the winner their choice of Lux Yoga Mat from their Art-on-Mat series!

Each Plank Yoga Mat is made using eco-friendly, natural rubber complete with a cheeky art-quality image on the front. Plank Yoga Mats have a patented grip layer, which is activated by the heat and pressure of hands and feet, whilst protecting the art-gallery-quality images.

If I were the winner, I would choose the Cobra Lux Mat, the fake snake in wheat grass just makes me smile. Plus, you know it would freak someone out at yoga class. 🙂 Giving the gift of yoga is one of the best gifts you could give a family member or friend! You could pair this yoga mat with a voucher for a few sessions at your favorite yoga studio.

Jump over to Plank Yoga Mats and pick up a mat for someone on your holiday list or yourself!
