I want to dedicate most of today to lovely Eco friendly greeting card companies that I think you will find delightful for the upcoming holidays.




I am in love, love, love with Alima Pure and their line of 100% natural and earth friendly mineral cosmetics. Alima Pure uses only the purest cosmetic grade mineral pigments that are 100% certified natural and cruelty-free. Alima Pure has no additives, fillers or fragrances that can irritate or clog your skin. They have earned the highly prestigious BDHI “Certified Natural Cosmetics” seal of approval and are one of only two American cosmetic companies to earn the certification. To be BDHI-certified goes beyond creating 100% natural cosmetics, it also means that their manufacturing process is socially and environmentally responsible.
Also, they have an amazing jar return policy. They will reward you for returning your used jars – just send in 5 empty jars from any full sized product and you will receive a free eyeshadow of your choice. You can’t beat that.

Good Luck!
It is starting to get chilly outside. Have you noticed? Yesterday, was the first day that I had to wear pants and a long sleeve shirt, even with all of those clothes on, I was still chilly. It seems like the sunny warm days disappear overnight and the cool Fall weather sets in. It is definitely time to start weather proofing your home, if you haven’t already. If you have a basement door or another door or window in your home that lets in a little draft, you need a draft stopper. A draft stopper is the perfect way to keep a room toasty and it saves energy as well.
This week’s Earth friendly Etsy shop is Ogsplosh. Ogsplosh is owned by Christine who makes fab draft stoppers, scarves, jewelry, neck warmers and hats in her Wisconsin home. Christine is the mother of two wonderful daughters ages 7 and 10. She moved to Wisconsin from England with her husband and says it is one of the best decisions that she ever made. She started sewing a few years ago when a friend taught her how. I love when friends help each other learn something new, what a lovely way to bond.
One of my fave items at Ogsplosh are the draft stoppers. I love the fun colors and my favorite feature is that the draft stoppers close with Velcro, so you can empty them and throw them in the wash. Which is great considering the draft stoppper would be on the floor or windowsill all day and would eventually get dirty or dusty. I also love that they come in an array of patterns and can be altered to fit any door that you need them for.
Now you can stay cozy and warm with your choice of draft stopper. Christine @ Ogsplosh is such a dear to offer ONE of my readers whichever draft stopper you would like.

I love the idea of washable and reusable nursing pads, I wish I had thought of it during the many years that I nursed Eben. Desiree uses bright colors and fabulous prints that makes each set of nursing pads unique and fun. She also makes fabulous children’s clothing from upcycled materials. Stop by her Etsy shop and take a look.
