Happy Earth Day & Giveaway!

Happy Earth Day & Giveaway!

Happy Earth Day everyone! Hope that you all have a wonderful day and that you all take a little time today to think about what you can do to help protect the planet.

There will be plenty of television shows, newspaper & magazine clippings and news blasts coming your way today chock full of great ideas of all of the little things you can do that will help make a huge difference for the future but I figured I'd give you my little list of 10 easy ways to greenify your life anyway :)

• 1 - Pay attention to how you use water. Turn the water off when you brush your teeth. Avoid washing small loads of laundry and wash your clothes in cold water.


• 2 - Turn down the heat.


• 3 - Carry cloth shopping bags.


• 4 - Leave your car at home. If you can bike or walk to work, use public transportation or car pool.


• 5 - Recycle and repurpose and choose things with the least amount of packaging.


• 6 - Plant a tree or start a garden.


• 7 - Stop using pesticides on your lawn.


• 8 - Buy organic and/or support a local organic farmer.


• 9 - Buy energy-saving, compact-fluorescent light bulbs and other energy efficient products.


• 10 - Donate money to your favorite green cause.

And while we're speaking green here I wanted to speak green beauty. I'm not sure if any of you know this, I haven't really mentioned it in a while, but one of the beauty product lines I helped develop is wholearth beauty and bath a luxurious line of eco chic bath & body products by green lifestyle guru Danny Seo.


wholearth beauty + bath by Danny Seo is an organic, eco-friendly line of products designed to inspire consumers to live a life of organic well-being in today's world. With sustainable style and a vision for the future, the entire line is made using only natural and certified organic ingredients. wholearth products are naturally luxurious, USDA approved organic and packaged with 100% post consumer recycled (PCR) materials!


The line consists of USDA certified organic body washes & lotions, body souffles, a 2-in-1 room & body mist and a very unique bamboo body scrub. This product looks like earth but foams up when you add water! The line also consists of the first ever USDA certified organic Perfume Spray which is available in 3 fragrances.


The great thing about the line is that each & every formula looks, feels and smells AMAZING, if I do say so myself :) They're not your typical crunchy organic/natural formulas. These products are truly luxurious and many beauty editors agree with me! You can check out what Elle & Teen Vogue as well as Danny himself have to say about the line.

You can also check out Danny's personal blog where he shares his brilliantly crafty tips on eco-friendly ideas for everyday living. He has also said some pretty nice things about me :) Hope you all check it out!

And in honor of Earth Day I decided to do a wholearth giveaway! One lucky winner will receive wholearth Natural Body Mist & Room Spray. It's available in 2 USDA certified organic fragrances, Eco-Chic, a creamy blend of lavender& Grateful Planet, a sweet treat of juicy fruit. The winner will get to choose the desired fragrance. Both fragrances are delectable and I promise that you'll want to keep spritzing not only yourself but all of your belongings with it!
