Green Holiday Giveaway #3: Big Dipper Wax Works Spice Candle

November 30, 2009 67

My 3rd giveaway for the day is from Big Dipper Wax Works. Big Dipper Wax Works is my favorite beeswax candle company. Big Dipper Wax Works is located in the fab city of Seattle, Washington and make the most amazing beeswax candles I have ever used.

When I first started blogging Dig Dipper Wax Works was so lovely to send me a care package full of their loveliest candles. Mr. Sweet Greens and I were very impressed and continue to love our beeswax candles from Big Dipper Wax Works. You can read why I love Big Dipper Wax Works here. Now, we are thinking that we need some in their holiday scents for our home this holiday season. Wouldn’t it be lovely to have your home smell like spice, mint or pine? Oh my, they smell delicious and since they are beeswax, you won’t need to worry about any carcinogens being released into your home. Just sit back, relax and enjoy.
Big Dipper Wax Works’ Candles would be the perfect holiday gift for anyone on your list. They would also make great hostess gifts or stocking stuffers. I would love to receive these as a gift. Each candles comes 100% recyclable packaging and will arrive beautifully packaged to your home. My favorite part is the lovely matchbook that will come attached with the sweet little bee on the front.
Big Dipper Wax Works has been so lovely to offer ONE of my readers a Holiday Aromatherapy Beehive Candle in Spice {Sweet Orange, Cinnamon and Clove Bud}. $15 Value. This will definitely spice up your home just in time for the holidays and burns for 35 hours.

A big thanks to Big Dipper Wax Works for sponsoring this lovely giveaway.

Bring Back the Hanky.

November 27, 2009 4

My Papa Jack never leaves the house without a hanky. Yes, a hanky. Do you remember hankies? Hankies are not only eco friendly but so sweet. A hanky can be thrown in your laundry and used again and again. The tissue paper industry uses virgin pulp to make tissues which is one of the worst contributors of global warming. I have a hanky stashed in my purse and we do not purchase tissues in our home. You can find some super cute vintage hankies on Etsy or check out this cute idea from Hank and Cheef and save many trees in the process.

Do you use tissues or a hanky?
Would you consider using a hanky? Why or why not?

Earth Friendly Etsy: Laksaware Reusable Kitchen Scrubbers Giveaway

November 26, 2009 47

This weeks Earth Friendly Etsy shop is Laksa Ware. Laksaware was inspired by a bowl of curry Laksa while the owner Bernie and her husband were in Malaysia. While her husband was busy devouring his bowl of Laksa and getting dots of curry splashed on his white shirt, they came up with the idea of having a “Laksa T-Shirt”. Hence, the name Laksaware. Isn’t that fun?

Bernie enjoys crafting, painting and cooking – they have always been a favorite pastime for her because it is relaxing and healing. Her Etsy shop is filled with some of her favorite pieces created with heart and care – my personal favorites are the organic pakucho cotton face scrubbies.

Laksaware has been so kind to offer ONE of my lovely readers a cherry berry scrubbie. This is the perfect eco-friendly scrubbie for your dishes, sinks, oven-top, refrigerator, bathtubs, or floors and works great on tough stains on dishes even without soap. (Also great for scrubbing feet!) One side is soft and the other is rough and great for scrubbing. These cuties are handmade by Bernie and no two scrubbies will be exactly alike. They are machine washable too so you can use them over and over again!
