Today is National Wear Red Day.

February 5, 2010 2


Did you know that the number one killer of women is heart disease? The American Heart Association is a national voluntary health agency whose mission is to build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Since 1924, the goal of the association is to spread the word of cardiovascular diseases and help raise funds to fight these diseases.

Astral Health & Beauty Brands—parent company of Pür Minerals, CosMedix and Aloette—is lending its support to the American Heart Association and its efforts to help women fight heart disease with passion and positive action. In 2010, Astral Health & Beauty Brands will donate $250,000 to support the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women ® movement, furthering the health and well being of women. How fantastic is that?

Want to learn more about the Go Red for Women Movement and how you can help, go here. Show your support for women’s heart health by wearing red today.

Green DIY: Little Recycled Valentine’s Day Boxes

February 4, 2010 4

Eben and I are still trying to decide what type of valentines to make this year for his classmates. I came across these lovely little valentine boxes at Inchmark. Aren’t they fantastic? Now, only if I had been saving small matchboxes – wouldn’t these be perfect way to recycle them? 

How about you lovely readers, what type of valentines are your little ones making this year?

Kelly Wearstler’s Children’s Library.

February 4, 2010 2

I love, love, love books. My favorite type of books, hands down, are children’s books. It has been a life long dream of mine to either publish a children’s book or own a children’s bookstore. Wouldn’t that be a fabulous career? I saw Kelly Wearstler’s Children’s library in Cookie Magazine and fell instantly in love. Eben has hundreds of books in his room {all in bins or on his bookcase} and I think this would be the perfect way to showcase them all. Plus, as Kelly says it would be easier for him to find the book he is looking for. I think when we redecorate, I will make one whole wall in Eben’s room, a children’s library.

How about you lovely readers, do your children have hundreds of books?
How do you store them all? Do you showcase them?

Earth Friendly Etsy: Glue and Glitter Recycled Cup Holder Giveaway

February 3, 2010 25

I love, love, love when vintage fabrics are given new a chance to shine again as something new and lovely. When I found this week’s Earth friendly Etsy shop: Glue and Glitter, I knew I would be smitten and I am. Glue and Glitter is owned by Becky Striepe, who is an independent crafter and freelance blogger living in Atlanta, Georgia. Becky’s passion is working with vintage fabric and salvaged materials. Becky uses existing materials in products that help us waste less without sacrificing style.

Becky is always looking for new ways to make big changes, she uses cloth napkins instead of paper and a reusable bag instead of a plastic one. She incorporates both of these ideas in her Lunch Kits. The lunch kit is one of my favorite items at Glue and Glitter. Her lunch kits include a handmade {machine washable} bag, 5 handmade {machine washable} napkins, 1 pair of eclectic utensils and one BPA free Lock and Lock lunchbox container. How fantastic is that?

Becky @ Glue and Glitter has been so lovely to give one of my readers a cup holder of your choice.
