Green Works Biodegradable Cleaning Wipes

Review Summary
Works really well, convenient
99% natural plant fiber-based, natural wipes, no animal testing
Inexpensive

I had been on the lookout for biodegradable cleaning wipes for quite some time.  I try not to use cleaning wipes too often, but sometimes they are just so convenient.

Green Works Wipes are really great.   I've been using them for over a month now and they are the perfect choice for a quick wipe down.   No awful smells, my hands don't get irritated by the chemicals, and it does a really thorough job.  It works on most hard surfaces, so it's a good choice for both bathrooms and kitchens.  ... read more

Andalou Naturals Clementine Toner

Review Summary
Works great on my combination skin
70% organic, company has a commitment to sustainability
$12.95 for 6 oz, but the bottle will last you a long time.

all natural skin tonerI love the Clementine + C Toner from Andalou Naturals.  I have acne-prone combination skin, and this toner works well on both dry and greasy patches on my face without overdoing it or irritating my skin.  It also gives my skin a much needed "boost" and helps it look fresher and clearer.

I love the clementine scent.  It reminds me of one of my favorite fruits (who doesn't love a clementine?) and it's not artifical or too heavy smelling.... read more

Litter Free Lunch by New Wave Enviro

Review Summary
Great Products
Eco-friendly resuable products
Expensive, but overall worthwhile for many

I'm very excited to be reviewing the Litter Free Lunch products from New Wave Enviro.  

I'm a big proponent of the waste-free lunch.  Whenever possible, it's important to avoid anything that's single use - Ziplocs, snack baggies, brown paper bags, juice boxes, soda cans, water bottles...you get the picture.  This Litter Free Lunch kit can help.  Here's what it comes with:... read more

World's Best Cat Litter

Review Summary
Keeps odors to a minimum
Perfume-free, all natural
A little outside of my budget at over $15 for a 17 lb. bag


world's best cat litterworld's best cat litterIf you have cats, you've probably seen the World's Best Cat Litter for sale on Amazon and pet chains like Petco and Petsmart.  You might be thinking "wow, that's quite a claim!"  But, I've gotta say, it's darn good cat litter.

Most notably, it's made of whole corn kernels.  No gross synthetic perfumey scent, no puff of powder when you're pouring it into the box.  It's just good old fashioned corn grown on American farms.  And because it's made of corn, it's safe for animals, unlike many types of clay litters.... read more

Tinted Stainless Steel Food Container with Divider from New Wave Enviro

Review Summary
Durable, nifty little divider.
Waste-free, stainless steel
A little expensive, but well worth it because it's not plastic.

This is a really nifty little stainless steel divided food container.  It's super durable and I love stainless steel.  

I am phasing out our old plastic food containers (and I never use them in the microwave, BPA-free or not) -- they really get gross after a while, they "pill" and they don't hold up well.   I love glass and stainless steel, but when my toddler and I are on the go, glass isn't always terribly practical.   It's heavy and breakable.  We also love our reusable sandwich bags but for some things (like crackers or cereal bars) they just get crushed in my bag.  Stainless steel is where it's at!  ... read more

Insulated Water Bottle by New Wave Enviro

Review Summary
Keeps drinks warm for HOURS
Stainless steel bottle
It's a bit expensive, but it works very well!

The Double Wall Hot/ Cold Insulated Stainless Steel Bottle from New Wave Enviro is AWESOME.  Seriously.  

I am a stickler for temperatures when it comes to my beverages.  I like hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold.  This bottle keeps drinks the proper temperature for hours. I can brew tea in there at 2 PM and it's still not at 4...not just warm, but actually HOT.  It's amazing.  I'll be carrying this thing with me all winter long, since in the cooler months I chug tea like there's no tomorrow!... read more

Chipkos Sandals

Review Summary
Comfy flip-flops, but they took some breaking in
Totally eco-friendly!
A great price for eco-friendly footwear

I'm a big fan of Chipkos and their awesome, eco-friendly sandals.   Chipkos Footwear is an eco-friendly footwear company that protects one hundred square feet of the rain forest per product purchased. Chipkos is most well known for their Chipkos Original Sandals available for men and women.

I first came across Chipkos back in April and I was immediately drawn to the unique look of their sandals, the green materials that they use, and their dedication to saving the rainforest.  Now, I am excited to finally being reviewing the sandals!... read more
