How I'm Eco Friendly 24/7/365

Hey Beauties! It's Good Friday & Earth Day....Now how often does this occur?

Today I would like to know how many of you are actually "eco-friendly" on a daily basis? Lord knows I try but I'm not always succesful. Here's what I do.

1. Re-usable Shopping Bags - I absolutely love them, they hold so much more than those annoying plastic shopping bags. I live in NYC so I have steps to climb just make it to the front door of my apartment building. Carrying one or two re-usable bags is much easier than stumbling up steps with six or seven bags.....The only problem is sometimes I forget to take them out the trunk when I get to the supermarket....Yes, I live in NYC and I drive to the market (don't judge me). I told you I try but I'm not always succesful.

2. Plastic Take Out Containers - Those plastic take out containers have now become my own personal Tupperware collection. They're perfect for storing left overs and sending those friends and family members that don't like to return your good plastic containers home with food.

3. Donate Everything - My new moto is donate, donate, donate. If there's something that I need to replace that's in good condition I donate it. That means everything from clothing to printers. I've learned if there's something I can't use there is always someone else who can.

Happy Earth Day Beauties!

Going Green Wednesday: Eco-Chic Designs

As you all know by now sustainability is vital to the existence of the planet and we all have to do our part to help preserve it. As a person that has a deep admiration for fashion I was happy to see that designers are also taking heed to this call to action by creating "eco-chic" designs. So, when I came across this video I felt it would be great to post for "Going Green Wednesday".

What are your thoughts?

Eco Chic Gift Wrapping

It seems everyone is doing their part to save the earth, especially this holiday season. People are choosing to wrap gifts to loved ones in recycled wrapping paper or paper products made from hemp using soy based inks. T

his year I will be doing my part to save the earth too. I have decided to skip the trip to the recycling bin and use my Sunday newspaper to wrap my holiday gifts. This is my version of an eco chic Christmas.

Will you wrap your holiday gifts with this year?
