I guess it isn’t a secret that I love, love, love tea. Almost everyday, you will find a hot cup of tea sitting next to me. What isn’t there to like? It is warm, yummy and good for you. Are you a tea lover? If so, this week’s Earth Friendly Etsy Shop:: Knit Storm will warm up your day.

KnitStorm has been open for a little over a year and is owned by Katy Reiser. Katy is married to a loving map enthusiast {Fantastic!} and is a new mother. Right now, Katy is in love with her son, cloth diapers, enjoying great music, reading fiction and watching quirky television shows.

Katy’s Earth friendly Etsy shop KnitStorm is full of knitted and crocheted mug cozies that are hand embellished, usually with fantastic embroidered wording and fun shapes. Katy is also a huge tea lover and you will see that reflected in her work. Fabulous. Katy’s favorite materials are recycled, reclaimed and organic. She also loves, loves, loves Ecofelt.

Katy is inspired by the creating process. She loves to make things that come from her own imagination. Being creative and keeping things fresh keeps her inspired. She sells products that she is proud of, products that have a low impact on the environment.

Doesn’t your mug need a cozy? I know, mine does. Katy has been so lovely to give one of my readers a fabulous vibrant red tea mug cozy made using recycled cotton yarn with a hand embroidered tea bag on it. Katy can also custom make a cozy that fits your personality perfectly, just drop her a note.

Korres:: Natural Beauty Formulations {Coupon Code}

April 6, 2010 0

Korres was established in 1996 in Athens, Greece and offers natural beauty formulations that deliver maximum results. Korres offers an array of products for all skin types that bring clinically proven results while avoiding harmful synthetic ingredients.

I recently received the Vitamin E Face Primer, Lemon Lip Scrub, and Japanese Rose Body Butter.

The Vitamin E Face Primer is a silicone free face primer that makes for smooth, long lasting make up application that moisturizes and perfects your skin. I found this face primer to be very lightweight, clean and the perfect start to my beauty routine.

The Lemon Lip Scrub is an exfoliating lip treatment that leaves your lips feeling smooth and soft. I thought the Lemon Lip Scrub was soft, easy to use and lovely with a hint of lemon. It left my lips feeling plump and super soft.
The Japanese Rose Body Butter is a extra moisturizing cream for dry skin conditions. I found the Japanese Rose Body Butter to be super hydrating and luxurious. It is thick and creamy without being heavy or greasy and the scent is out of this world.

The best part is Korres values::

Isn’t that fantastic? Guess what? Korres is offering a exclusive 30% discount for Sweet Greens’ readers, just enter coupon code ‘SWEETGREENS’ at checkout, now through May 1st and enjoy beautiful skin all year long.

Vintage Candy Machines Upcycled for Guerrilla Gardening

April 5, 2010 0

The Los Angeles based design studio, Common Studio is selling vintage candy machines that have been upcycled to hold seed bombs, which can be purchased and tossed anywhere a little greenery is needed. How fantastic is this idea? Can you imagine seed bomb machines at your local schools, parks, trail heads and bicycle routes. Sign me up for GreenAid, I would love to see these in my town.

How about you lovely readers, have you guerrilla gardened before?
Would you dare throw seed bombs into a vacant lot?
Or a neighbors yard that desperately needs some greenery?

Have a Lovely Green Weekend

April 2, 2010 0

Hello, Friends! This weekend starts super early for me, 9 am to be exact. I will be spending the day with Eben’s class as they venture to The Denver Nature and Science Museum. How fun is that? Then, all three of us are going to play pool and grab a pizza at Coppersmith’s Poolside Pub. Poolside is super fun because there are 12 tournament sized billiards, not to mention, ping pong, shuffleboard and darts. Eben is fascinated with playing pool right now, so we thought this would be a fun Friday night activity.

Saturday, we are planning to work in our garden. We need to start planting the vegetables that we started from seed. Later in the afternoon, we are going to our neighborhood Easter egg hunt. Eben looks forward to this activity every Spring. He loves, loves, loves to see how many eggs he can find and is always super impressed with himself when he finds them lurking in trees and bushes. Later that night, we are having a family movie night. Our movie for the evening is ‘Where the Wild Things Are.’ Have you seen it? Did you like it? I have heard mixed reviews, so I guess we will decide for ourselves.

Sunday morning, we have a tee time at our local golf course at 10am. This will be the first time this year that it has been warm enough to go golfing. We have been waiting, and waiting and waiting some more. We love to golf as a family, so it will be fun for all. Then we are going to have lunch on the patio at one of our favorite little spots right off the green. Fantastic!

How about you lovely readers, what are your weekend plans?
Do you celebrate Easter? Will you be going to an Easter egg hunt?
Are you a golf lover too? What fun plans does your family have for the weekend?

xo,
Sweet Greens

P.S. Did you get a chance to enter to win a yummy lemon bar candle from Gabriel’s Aunt.
