DIY: Eco-packaging

I stumbled across this the other day and simply fell in love with the idea!  Mandi at Here’s Looking At Me Kid shares a fabulous way to stay green and creative while shipping products or gifts through the mail.  The full how-to can be found here at A Beautiful Mess, but basically you just use a paper bag and stitch it closed.  The great thing is that you can decorate it as you wish!  It’s also a great way to save some cash.  I love this idea so much, I’m going to adopt it!  I actually have a similar idea that I’ve been actively using for about 8 years now.  I’ll post a DIY on that soon!  Thanks Mandi!

Twinkie Chan and her CUTE Scarves

I stumbled across Twinkie Chan’s blog a couple of months ago and instantly fell in love with her colorful and quirky style!  Her tattoos are so bright and great and I especially love her CUTE scarves!  Here are a few of my favorites…

DIY Tree Stump Trivet

I just love trivets of all kinds; small, big, round, square, and of course unique!  This cute little Tree Stump Trivet is one of the cutest I’ve seen in a long time, too.  The best part is, that you can make one yourself, because Martha Stewart shows you how!  It does indeed take a fair amount of felt strips, but it’s worth it!  This would be a perfect touch to a woodland-themed tea party!

Great Product Shout out!

After watching this weeks Shark Tank on ABC, I would like to give a shout out to two products that I think are just great!  The first being Llama Brew™, an “Eco-Friendly Green Fertilizer,” and Nubrella, “The Ultimate Weather Protector.”

“Llama Brew™ is made from 100% organic llama and alpaca manure and is packaged in recycled bottles.”  I just love to see when people use natural resources to do the same job as man-made items.  Chemical fertilizers are dangerous to our environment, the animals, and our families, so why not go natural?!  The surprising thing is that there is no fowl odor this product is very affordable!

Nubrella is a great alternative to your average umbrella, because it protects you from rain, snow, sleet, etc.  It is easy to use and you an use it hands-free without it flipping inside-out on you!  This means that you can use it while riding a bike, sitting at your child’s soccer game, walking to work, or anything else you can think of!  This truly can make life easier when standing up to the weather.
