Give Life at Farm Sanctuary

Category : Animals, Shopping

Still looking for the perfect gift for the animal lover who has it all?  Farm Sanctuary would be the perfect present!  Adopt an adorable farm animal and make a difference this year instead of contributing to the mass amount of stuff your friends and family already have.  Non profits need your support all year round but since we’re all on a giving high right now, consider giving this one gift that really makes two – a gift to someone you love and the gift of a healthy, happy life to a sweet animal.

Adopt now!

will steal your heart with his
tender glance. Just a baby when
he was rescued a few months
ago, he will be spending his first
holiday season at our California
Shelter – protected from the
cruelty most calves face every
day. By sponsoring Elliot, you
will give him the life of care and
compassion that all animals like
him truly need and deserve.

I love to knit but sometimes I run out of people to knit for.  So…I’ve started a little Etsy shop!  As of right now I’m selling infinity cowls and neck warmers that I’ve knitted with organic cotton.  They’re all super soft and cozy and would be fabulous holiday gifts.  Please check it out!

It’s that time to start holiday shopping, yes – it’s early for some of us, but I honestly know people were were more than half way done with their shopping in October!  Crazy!  Awhile back I mentioned The Andean Collection and suggested you keep it in mind for your holiday shopping.  I recently received an email from them highlighting some great gift items…

Holiday Shopping – Chocolate

Rescue Chocolate has fabulous vegan chocolate gift ideas for the holidays!  I absolutely love Rescue Chocolate – 100% of the profits are donated to rescues around the country so you can’t go wrong giving their chocolates as gifts!  Delicious chocolates and money going to a good cause – a win for everyone!  My absolute favorite is the Peanut Butter Pitbull Bar – you must order one for yourself when ordering gifts for others :)

I ordered some adorable handmade stationery from Blue Eye Brown Eye on Etsy.  I’ve been reading her blog and then just had to order some of her goods.  She’s another good one for cute packaging.  Those little touches mean a lot to me!  Next time you’re in the market for cards check her out – she has some beautiful cards and they’re even cheaper than the ones I typically purchase from Papyrus!  Bonus!  I think my time at Papyrus has come to an end – these have so much more character and I love supporting small businesses.

BPA on Receipts?! Where Else Will We Find It?!

Category : Health, Shopping

So now they’re saying there is BPA on receipts!  AND that it is more toxic than the BPA in plastic bottles!  YIKES!  I always take my receipt – even when I don’t need it so that I can recycle the paper, but now I think I’ll have to consider my health over the environment and take receipts ONLY  when ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!

CVS’ New Green Bag Tag

Category : Shopping

I’m loving my new Green Bag Tag from CVS!  What a brilliant idea!  There is a CVS across the street from my home and office so I’m a frequent shopper there.  For just $1 I purchased my GBT.  Each time I shop and either use a re-usable bag or no bag at all, they scan my Extra Care card and then my GBT.  After 4 visits I get $1 cash back coupon to use on my next purchase!  The actual tag is even made from a corn based material.  I know it is somewhat of a hassle to have to lug around one more card to scan but you could attach to it your key ring or loop it through the handle of your reusable bag.
