Soaps to Live By Offer a Great Green Organic Clean

October 23, 2013 0

When it comes to organic body care products, the one item that my family goes through the quickest is bar soap. It is my favorite body care product to purchase, there are so many excellent choices available and sometimes I admit I pick up soaps based completely on the package design such as these ones, these ones, these ones and these ones.

When I received a package of bar soaps from Soaps to Live By I was excited to try them out! Besides being super pretty, each organic bar soap is handcrafted from natural and organic ingredients like moisturizing coconut oil, sustainable palm oil, pure essential oils, and organic and natural ingredients that nurture your skin and your soul. Each batch is hand poured, hand mixed and hand cut with love right here in the USA. They are rich, creamy and smell so good. You can purchase them separately (think stocking stuffers!) or as a packaged set. Wouldn’t they make a great gift for the holidays?

REVIEW: PELCOR Sustainable Genuine Cork Skin Sunshine Tote Bag

October 22, 2013 0

I am not one of those gals that has a handbag to match every outfit – and I definitely don’t buy a new handbag every season – designer or disposable.

However, I do have a couple of nice, high quality handbags that I have paid a little more money for. I think it is totally worth spending a little more to buy something you really love that you can use for many years to come. I don’t support picking up a handbag that will last a season and then gets tossed.

With that being said, I want a handbag that is lightweight, bright and fun for those trips to the beach, farmer’s market or just picking Eben up from school. One of my favorite tote’s ever – is the Sunshine Tote from PELCOR. It is by far the one tote that I get compliments on every time that I use it. I love the color (turquoise!), it’s made using sustainable cork, it’s magnetic closure, and it’s roomy with a great inside zippered pocket helps me keep organized. Now, that we are moving into fall – I wish I would have picked the yellow or maybe hot pink! So bright and fun.

I have used my PELCOR Sunshine Tote for several months and am pleased to announce that it still looks like new and the cork handles and holding up really well. This is a tote that I will be able to pull out of my closet again and again for many seasons to come – so I am happy to recommend it to you. 

Full Disclosure: I received a PELCOR tote to review – all opinions expressed are my own and I would have told you about PELCOR totes anyway – they are fantastic!

Sponsored: Groovy Globe Organic Tee Shirt + Tote Bag Review + Giveaway

October 21, 2013 0

Living in Florida – I usually resort to my fave outfit: shorts, flip-flops and a tee shirt. Especially considering my family is very spur-of-the-moment – meaning I could pick Eben up from school and 30 minutes later be biking, sailing, paddleboarding or on a nature hike. By dressing simple and comfort, I am always ready to go!

So, I was excited to partner with Groovy Globe to check out their tee shirt and tote bag collection! I love the statement tees, they get the point across without being too in your face and the fit (for women) is very comfy and flattering. Made with 100% organic cotton and 10% of the proceeds going to environmental charities -it’s a win-win!

I also received a tote bag from Groovy Globe and the quality is great – very thick and sturdy. We use ours as a library tote bag. Each week, we take it to our library and fill it up with great books for the week. The totes are made from 100% recycled cotton canvas with a great design that is perfect for everyone – even Eben doesn’t might toting it around.

If you are looking for great quality organic tees that matches your values – check out Groovy Globe. I think these would make great gifts for the upcoming holidays! Guess what? You are in luck, use the coupon code 20OFF at checkout and get a jump on your holiday shopping.
