Description

Baggu Bag
With all the eco-conscious products coming to the surface, we love alternatives to the plastic grocery bag. The Baggu Bag ($8) makes the perfect reusable bag as each one holds the same amount as 2 or 3 plastic bags. Made from strong rip-stop nylon, the bags come in a variety of colors and fold up easily for keeping in your purse. (via Outblush)

GIOVANNI FRIZZ BE GONE 2.75 OZ

First to recommend

Description

As a Black woman, I fight with my hair. I have it relaxed (straightened), but I live in an area of the country with high humidity all spring and summer long. Sometimes this type of weather, goes into the fall as well. When the weather is like this, my relaxed hair gets frizzy. When I sweat too much, my hair gets frizzy. When I'm in the shower too long...yes...my hair gets frizzy.

There are a million and one products out there that claim to control frizz. I have probably tried them all with limited success. You put too much of any of these products on and the hair gets weighed down and looks limp and greasy. You can also forget about body and movement. However, I have been impressed by Giovanni Cosmetics Frizz Be Gone. I still have to be careful about the amount I use, and I would hand down this caution to anyone using this type of product. Just a drop or two of this rich, organic serum, rubbed into hands and distributed throughout hair (concentrating on the ends), will do the job. It can be used on wet or dry hair. I have only used it on my hair when dry so far. It can also be used with a blow dryer or flat iron for straightening. It imparts shine, smoothing and control to frizzy hair. Granted, I have not waited until my hair is COMPLETELY out of control to use this. When it gets to that point, I call my stylist. (via ebay.com)

BLOOMING WRAPPING PAPER

2 people recommended this item

Description

A clever, clever idea! Most if not all wrapping paper, aside from just wanting to make an impression and show how much you care, is a terrible waste. It's just going to be thrown away...but this gift wrap is embedded with annual and perennial wildflower seeds, such as catchfly, english snapdragon, corn poppy, black-eyed susan.

The paper is a crisp clean white with the choice of light green or brown antique suns and the words "water me" on the paper. A lovely, natural alternative from the flashy glossy world of gift wrap. People will love planting the biodegradable paper and watching the seeds grow into a bright garden. (via UncommonGoods)

Hazel Coffee Table

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Yet another amazing piece from Ami McKay's PURE collection. This appeals to me because of its elements of simplicity, contrasting with refinement. And yes, there is a serious element of sticker shock as well. With this piece totaling a whopping $2,775.00, not counting shipping! Well, there's another just wish I either had a serious furniture-making hobby, a friend like Ami or just the damned cash!

This piece achieves a serious eco-trip by using non-toxic finishes & adhesives and sustainable Kirei grass & wheat boards. Its dimensions are 36 inches wide x 22 inches deep x 18 inches high. (via greenwithglamour.com)

Field Notes Brand - FIELD NOTES

2 people recommended this item

Description

I use small notebooks such as these to make general notes so that I don't forget things when I am out and about.

This is the first time I have come across these eco-friendly "Field Notes" books in an "on the go" format. These would be perfect for me as a birdwatcher, note scribbler and list maker.
