Earth Day - Live Responsibly

Happy Earth Day, all!

To celebrate, The Zoe Report says to dress responsibly, and Modelina tells us to stock our wardrobe with "eco-friendly finds", but we say live responsibly, and stock up your life with products that fight for the environment. If you're looking to shop this Earth Day, think about replacing that MAC brush or Michael Kors watch with one of our earth-loving alternatives:

1. Live Argentine Camila Purse (link)

Made of handmade organic letter, this neon beauty makes a bold statement. A perfect replacement for the (all-too-ubiquitous) Cambridge Satchel Company messengers, the Camila Purse's production is carefully monitored under strict environmental laws. As the name suggests, they are produced in Argentinian tanneries, and a portion of their profits are forwarded to The Nature Conservancy- an organization that works to protect Argentinian grasslands. Green = good. Neon green = even better.

2. Nourish Tea Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls (link)

When we're not gripping our coffee mugs, you'll find us brewing tea in our dorm-friendly water boilers. We were alarmed when we realized the rose and jasmine tea we bought in Istanbul was running out; luckily, we've found our next tea stop! Don't be scared off by the exotic title- this flowery, smooth tea promises to be rich but refreshing. The 100% organic tea hails from the Fujian province in China, and we can't get over the magic of unfurling tea pearls when they meet water.

3. EcoTools Brushes (link) 

A Paris-based brand, EcoTools is a "leader in eco-concious beauty products," most well-known for their incredible bamboo brushes which have some of the softest bristles available on the market. We've owned our own sets for over a year now, and they're as good as they were when we first purchased them! People who have used them rave about them (just look up reviews) and we assure you, these brushes are as good as brand name brushes, except much more friendly for your wallet and the planet. (The whole set is only 13 dollars!? Cha-ching, done.)

4. WeWOOD Date Beige Watch (link)

We thought we'd seen it all - leather, canvas, gold, rose gold, silver - but WeWOOD caught us off guard. Their watches, made of varying types of wood, are sure to catch the attention of friends and strangers alike. WeWOOD's watches also hold the company to a commitment to the environment. For every watch that is purchased, the company partners with American Forests and Trees for the Future to plant a tree. Buy a statement watch, and plant a tree. Sounds to us like a great way to celebrate Earth Day.
