A Little Lunch Box Love: Vivo Square Container Bento Boxes

May 5, 2010 0

I have an infatuation with lunch boxes. Is this normal? I remember being a small child and loving when my Dad came home from work with his fantastic metal lunchbox with the red handle. I would open and close it, over and over again. Then, when I was a teenager, I started to collect vintage children’s lunchboxes. Now, I find myself drawn to the new Eco friendly versions with fabulous colors and design, like these Square Container Bento Boxes from Vivo that I found at Cambria Cove. Aren’t they fantastic? I love the three tiers and the colors, oh the colors! I would love one of these to tote to the pool this summer.

How about you lovely readers, do you use a lunch box?
What kind do you use? Vintage? Bento? A Reusable Bag?

It’s Sandal Weather: Time for Simple Shoes Eco Friendly Flippee

May 3, 2010 1
I am a flip flop girl. When I lived in Florida, flip flops are the only type of shoes that I ever wore. I love them. Now that it is warming up here in Colorado, the flip flops are back out of the closet. I just found these Eco friendly flip flops from Simple Shoes called the Flippee. Flippee’s are made from recycled soda bottles, with a foot form that is made using post consumer recycled paper and a biodegradable sole. Not to mention that glues that are used are water based, which means no nasty chemicals for the workers who put the shoes together to breath or that hurt the environment. And they are vegan, no animal products or by products here! Fantastic! I think I need a pair in chocolate rainbow.

Do you love flip flops?
What do you think of Flippees?
Would you wear them?
