YummyEarth Organic Lollipops and Organic Candy

Yummmmmyyyyyy! The name of these lollipops says it all. I guarantee they will be the best lollipops you have ever tasted! With luscious, irresistible flavors like Ginger Zest, Blood Orange Cocktail (perfect for Halloween, no?), and Chili Mango Mambo, how could you say no? And made of organic, 100% natural ingredients (including real fruit juices and fruit colors), you don't have to feel guilty....And btw, these are definitely not just for kids!

Make Your Own Natural Chewing Gum Kit

First to recommend

Description

OMG! This kit is so cool! I used to be a teacher, and I just know my students would LOVE this! Using chicle (the sap from a Central American tree), this kit helps you make your own chewing gum in under 30 minutes. How fun is that??! I think it would make a great thing to do at a Halloween or birthday party, too!

Glee All-Natural Chewing Gum Variety Pack

First to recommend

Description

These cute little packets of chewing gum are all-natural, made from chicle (the sap of the Sapodilla tree). Harvesting chicle helps preserve the rainforest, too, because it means they won't cut down the Sapodilla trees for lumber. This really is gum with a purpose!

Handmade Necklace with Eco-Friendly Tagua Nut Pendant

First to recommend

Description

Looking for jewelry with a purpose? The new style statement is Tagua Nut, or "vegetabel ivory"- a wonderfully sustainable material that is not only gorgeous, but also helps preserve rainforests.

See, if villages in Central and South America can make money off of the naturally-growing tagua nut rainforest trees, then there is no reason to clear cut the rainforest.

But the thing is that tagua nut is an incredibly unique and beautiful material for making pendants. Look at the natural swirls in the photo. Every pendant is totally unique.

Additionally, these necklaces are artisan-made right here in the USA, with other handmade beads from around the world.

And for only $24.99, they make a very affordable fashion AND environmental statement (and a great gift, too)! I love telling strangers the story of the tagua nut when they comment on how beautiful and unusual my necklace is.

Handmade, All-Natural Wildflower Soap

First to recommend

Description

Totally indulgent and heavenly, this all-natural soap is a work of art. Just look at it! Gorgeous!

Made of shavings from many different exotic soaps, including horsemint, cedarwood, passionflower, yucca, and blue bonnet, this soap will quickly become your favorite.

It is so moisturizing, I don't even need lotion after I shower now. No drying chemicals like conventional soap bars. And the scent- OMG, the delicious scent!


Regularly priced $6.00 at The Greater Green, on sale for $5.25. Lasts much longer than a regular bar of soap, too!
