Eco Friendly Etsy Find, Fingerless Gloves


It's still a little nippy where I live even though there is a splattering of Spring everywhere (new buds, blossoming flowers, and pollen floating around).  There's still time for these fabulous fingerless gloves.  Handmade from hemp and Italian wool by the folks at The Art of Zen....Crochet on Etsy, these mitts are cute and warm.  I've always liked the looks and practicality of fingerless gloves.

Designer Chriss Smith, who is keen on using earth friendly materials, is hosting a giveaway on her blog, so you could win one of her goodies for yourself.  Check it out HERE.

Product Review: Merry Hempsters Lip Balm and Muscle Rub

The Merry Hempsters' mischievous logo will catch your eye and make you smile a little, but just wait until you see what's on the inside. This is one environmentally friendly company.

Using post consumer recycled materials, supporting the earth friendly organic hemp market, and bringing certified organic body care to the marketplace are all ways The Merry Hempsters are offering products to get behind.

Good things come in a stick. Two products I'm over the moon about are the lip balms and muscle rubs. Their lip balm has made a huge hit with my four year old son who is crazy about the logo and loves the Lime flavor. I like Vanilla which goes on smooth without being too oily--it's that elusive perfect consistency highly desired in a lip balm.

The muscle rub is also packaged in a stick, making it convenient to slip into your backpack and allowing for non-messy application. I will not be without it again as it not only soothes achey muscles (neck and shoulders) but is very helpful with headaches--I can't believe I've gone without it this long.

Both the muscle rub and lip balm come in different flavors, you can go to their website and check out all your options. These are products you can feel good about buying, good for you and good for the enviornment.
