Organic Insect Repellent from Brittanie's Thyme

First to recommend

Description

I've been using this for the past month, at dust (when it seems to be most buggy) and I'm happy to report that I've had NO bites. I'm digging this is organic (lay off the toxic DEET folks) which means it's totally safe even for kids & pets. And a great bonus is that it doesn't smell of potent citronella like so many "natural" bug sprays/lotion. This has a really lovely spicy scent that I don't mind at all. Try it, you'll like it :)

Update: The first day I ran out of this, I went outside and got 5 bites in a matter of minutes, so I ordered 3 more bottles to get me through the summer! This stuff totally works and I LOVE it!

How cool is this? Bikinis, board shorts & rash guards made out of recycled bottles and their cover-ups and t-shirts are 100% organic cotton! Very cute styles in their '08 product line up!

Description

This is a super cute beachy shoe! For the beach, vaca, pool or Farmer's Market. A totally vegan shoe, the upper is made from hemp, it's lined in bamboo with an organic cotton canvas cover on their natural latex footbed. As if that wasn't enough the sole is made from recycled tires, using water-based cements to seal it and will arrive to your eco-self in a post-consumer recycled box. And Simple is giving back with it's 1% for organic beer campaign. Gotta love it!

Soleo Organic & Natural 30SPF Sunscreen

4 people recommended this item

Description

I have been looking for a good all natural organic sunscreen, and this is one of the first that looks really promising. It's SPF 30 so it'll work for an everyday sunscreen or for those beach days. The main ingredient is Zinc which is one of the best all natural skin protectants, but it doesn't leave you looking like a pasty ghost. Unscented too - so you don't have to reek of tropical parabens all day. How lovely! A must for skincare!

Good Mood Essential Oil blend by Primavera

First to recommend

Description

In terms of essential oil, German company Primavera is one of the very BEST in terms of quality & standards. They source their oils all over the world & maintain strict standards to ensure herbs are organic and/or biodynamically grown. This is amazingly fragrant, fruity & exotic and does wonders for your mood, if you're having an off or blue day or you just want to freshen up the house a bit before company arrives! I burn this is my Aromatherapy diffuser when I need a boost or I'm stressed....smells of cheery citrus with notes of Orange, Lime & Osmanthus. Difuse this at home, at work or in the car to uplift & make you breathe a little easier.
