The Balm that Packs a Punch

I received my handy pocket size “pot” of Organic Girls Vanilla Lip Balm today and I love it! The sweet aroma of vanilla immediately drew flashbacks of me as a little girl running after the ice cream truck on a hot summer day. Oh, how I wish the weather was warmer. I can’t stop licking the creamy softness of balm smeared across my lips. One little dab and my chapped lips are gone!

Visit Organic Girls now to pick up a few of these inexpensive ($3 each), delicious smelling vegan lip balms!

The Queen & Her Bag

As a little child you may have dreamed of being a princess, but why be second to the queen when you can be a queen?! Evelina, eco-luxury designer extraordinaire, has made this dream possible with the introduction of her Vegan Queen handbags. This multi-faceted artist, who’s worked with fashion legends such as Karl Lagerfeld, is on a mission to prove that we can all be royalty & enjoy luxurious, sustainable styles.

Everyone is scrambling to get their hands on these fabulous eco- bags. Crafted from the finest sustainable materials, Vegan Queen promotes a socially conscious lifestyle that doesn’t sacrifice our environment. It’s no wonder why celebrities like Madonna, Heidi Klum, and Natalie Portman are going gaga for the Queen!

Vegan Queen’s dynamic designs are a result of combining masculine silhouettes with feminine details. Developed to the highest ecological standards, Vegan Queen only uses natural, non-toxic, and recycled materials. These beautifully embossed handbags are made from Vegetal “leather,” a cotton-based fabric that’s rubberized with natural latex extracted from wild rubber trees in the Amazon Rainforest. Peak inside and you’ll discover a soft interior lining of 100% organic cotton terry. Adorning the outside is nickel-free antique brass-finish hard ware and her trademark recycled crest medallion.

Bamboo Warriors– Finding the Ultimate Active Apparel

Allow your body to breathe and bend with ease as you hike to the top of the Hollywood Hills or strike a Warrior II Pose… Green Apple’s organic active apparel was designed specifically to handle all the adventures of your active lifestyle.

This apple’s seedling sprouted when veteran athletic designer Cristofer Smith developed the first certified organic bamboo and cotton active apparel. After many travels and extensive research, Cristofer determined that bamboo mixed with organic cotton was the most viable textile to mimic the abilities of petrol-chemical textiles (“THE BAD GUYS” - nylon & poly) most commonly used in athletic apparel.

Not only does the soft, silky feel of Green Apple hugging your body feel luxurious, but the organic bamboo fiber has a natural anti-bacterial deodorization effect too (known as “Bamboo Kun”)! Therefore, there’s no need to fret about breaking a sweat because bamboo will battle it all.

Bamboo is the ultimate tropical grass samurai…

Along with its powers to fight odor causing bacterium,
these fibers naturally block 98% of all harmful UVA rays, and have a unique cross section of micro gaps and micro holes that enable breathability & thermal control.

Green Apple has been a pioneer in organic active wear and strives to be environmentally friendly in all aspects of their business. They were the first apparel company to use 100% bio mass, bio degradable plastic for packaging & shipping. Plus, all branding is done on recycled papers, natural pulp fibers, and leftover organic fabrics.

I love wearing my Green Apple yoga pants to the gym or just lounging around in my apartment. It’s time for everyone to be as comfortable as me! Visit http://www.greenappleactive.com/ to see the new Spring ’09 collection & much more. Men’s active apparel is on the way soon too.

If you ask me, there’s no tartness in this Green Apple!
