Win An Essentia Engerie Opus Mattress

June 17, 2010 0
Did you know that we spend 220,000 hours of our lifetime in our beds (1/3 of our life)? Did you also know that traditional mattresses can emit up to 61 different chemicals including carcinogens, benzene and naphthalene? Super scary. If you are in the market for a new mattress, I would highly recommend that you consider purchasing a natural and eco-friendly version that doesn’t off-gas scary chemicals that can harm your family and the environment.

Mr. Sweet Greens and I are actually in the market for a new mattress. I want something that is more comfortable than our current mattress and isn’t hazardous to our health or the environment. We have been looking at eco-friendly options and are quite smitten with the eco memory foam options. Don’t they look comfy?
Recently, I was introduced to Essentia. They carry the world’s only natural memory foam mattresses. Whoa! An eco-friendly mattress made using natural memory foam. Yes, please. Essentia makes these mattresses using 100% natural, allergy-free latex topped with 3 inches of natural memory foam. The mattresses have no chemical emissions and come with a 20 year warranty! Bonus: They look fabulous too! Doesn’t that sound dreamy?
The best part, Essentia is giving away a Energie Opus mattress worth $3347.00. Fantastic. To enter, tell Essentia why you deserve a new eco mattress and it could be yours.

Good luck, let me know if you win!

Earth Friendly Etsy – Win A Recycled Song Bird Garland

June 16, 2010 0

I love garland, but who doesn’t, right? This week’s Earth Friendly Etsy Shop – Red or Gray Art features the loveliest recycled garland. Garland to hang across your mantle, above your windows or doors, or simple on a wall – garland anywhere is a good thing.

Red or Gray Art is owned by Elaine Kean in Dallas, Texas. Elaine has been crafting one of kind collages, mobiles, wall hangings, cards and my favorite garland in her kitchen since 2008. She loves to use recycled papers, old worn book pages, sheet music and scraps of fabric to create her lovely collection. Elaine is inspired by nature and loves to watch the birds playing in her backyard while she works. She is also inspired by the art of letter writing – which I love, love, love, I myself have a major love affair with handwritten letters.

A little more background on Elaine:

Elaine is married and has 2 daughters and a 12 year old rescue Golden Retriever. She finds happiness in music – She plays guitar and sings, chocolate and her camera. You can find her life in photos on her blog Red or Gray or on her daily black and white photo blog Red or Gray Black and White.

Elaine’s yard is a registered Texas Natural Space, which means that she plants a high percentage of plants that are native to her area. She is also a vegetarian, huge recycler, composter and water harvester. How fantastic is that?
