Last Minute Gift

I needed to get a gift for a certain special lady in our lives (Grandma, stop reading this).  I had to run an errand on the Target side of town.  Inspired by Mickey’s recent shopping trip, I decided I’d search the aisles for something fun and eco-friendly.  Here’s what I found:

  • Chameleon-Collection Makeup Bag – Made from post-consumer recycled plastic.  I love the spring colors and the pretty tree silhouette.
  • Bamboo Garden Bath Mitt – Super soft and better than a wash cloth because bamboo is naturally antibacterial, hypoallergenic, absorbent and fast drying.  No more smelly wash cloths in the shower.
  • Dr. Bronners Lavender Pure Castile Soap - One of my favorite products.  Good for washing almost everything.  And a 2fl oz bottle will last a long time.
  • Trial/Travel Size Weleda Skin Food & Almond Moisture Cream – I haven’t tried any Weleda products yet, but their products are “free of synthetic preservatives, fragrances, colorants and raw materials derived from mineral oils,” and not tested on animals.
  • Burt’s Bees Lip Shimmer — A little bit of color, and a lot of moisture and shine.  The label says it’s 100% natural.

  5. Pretty sure. I mean, the fact that I only go there three or four times a year and don’t ever get a paycheck from them . . . that probably means I don’t, right?

  9. [...] Weleda – Their products can be found at natural food stores and fancy little boutiques, but also at Target.  A big tube of Skin Food, or a collection of little travel sized lotions and body washes would make an excellent gift.  Target also has a line of travel bags made from recycled soda bottles.

Tip of the Day

Green Tips for Spring Cleaning from the EPA

We may have more winter ahead of us, but I’m starting to get spring fever.  The other day it was actually sunny here for a few minutes (a rarity).  The sun illuminated the splatters on the walls from wet dog shaking off, the dust in the corners of the bookcases, and the dirt crammed in the cracks in the floorboards.  It may not be spring just yet, but it’s time for me to clean like it is.
