It’s not even Christmas and I got coal. Well, sort of. The shirt is made of olive green/brown organic cotton with a black silk-screened coal plant across the chest. The design is simple and not offensive. The Coal Plant shirt not only fits both width and length like a medium but it is an attention grabber. People will wonder what it means and that’s what I want.
Artifex gives back too. The Artifex brothers donate a portion of their profits to environmental causes. They also give $3 from each of their popular Windmill shirt to North Dakota based Native Energy.
I really like the shirt and I am proud to be part of the Artifex club. Stay tuned for more Artifex shirts in the future!
My recycled car tire welcome mat had to be relocated to a new area to make room for the new, bright and squishy flip flop floor mat. The rugged black tire mat was getting boring to look at and made my condo entryway look stale. I opted to move it to another location and replace it with a brightly colored mat made of leftovers from a flip flop company. The remnants are arranged in a diamond pattern and are really cushiony and soft.
I like the colors and the feel both with and without shoes, but the pattern leaves much to be desired. I actually think the welcome mat would look even better in a random pattern or with one type of remnant.
Other than the pattern, I really like the welcome mat. I did not get rid of my old recycled tire welcome mat. It’s just inside now and being used differently, no worries.
You can buy the floor mat from VivaTerra. They offer all sorts of recycled products, such as rice paper bags turned laundry baskets and even more!
A few weeks ago it was really beautiful outside. The trees were green, the pollen count was high and the sun was shining brightly and I decided to go for a bike ride. I threw on my bike riding shorts, grabbed my Timbuk2 Metro bag filled with the essentials and decided to test out the Truly Organic Apparel shirt.
This t-shirt is unique because it is not only made from organic cotton but it uses natural dyes to color the shirt which means no chemicals are used in the process of making the fair trade clothing.
Each one of the Herbal T’s is hand dyed resulting in a unique color and texture. The style is not really something I would wear out normally, but for biking it was perfect. The shirt resisted my sweat and did absorb some moisture, but it wasn’t too clingy when I took the shirt off. It fits like a medium length wise, but is a little too wide for me (compared to American Apparel sizing).
The olive green color is actually more of a brown olive mixture, but it’s not bad. It totally clashes with my Nau shorts, but I’m not trying to impress anyone.
Truly Organic offers both lines for men and women besides t-shirts. They have work clothes and play clothes so check them out. Please just follow the instructions when you wash the clothes, it’s VERY important!
Wannabe Hot Pockets, but much healthier. The spinach, zucchini and onion filling blend really well in this dough shell. They microwave quickly, but I bet you could toast them if you want. I liked the Feta and Spinach better, but with less fat and more veggies, the Spinach, Zucchini and Onion Sensation are tasty too.
Two come to a box and Popeye approves, check them out here for more information.
In the next few weeks we are going to be publishing some really unique reviews so be on the lookout. In the meantime, Lamina is going Carbon Offset crazy.
Airforce Nutrisoda is being sold at large supermarkets. Therefore, you may have seen it around. It is a healthy alternative to the typical soda. The Radiant flavor is a lovely combination of blackberry and pomegranate. The ingredients are meant to help your skin stay healthy and youthful. Though, I don’t think it works after one can, but hey you never know.
I did enjoy it. Not too bitter, not too sweet and it does not contain sugar, so that is a plus too. Check out the facts at the Nutrisoda site.
This is not all natural, nor organic because it contains Splenda. It was decent. Sweet and I could definitely taste the peach. With no calories, it’s a healthy, less sweet alternative to the Original Peach.
We love Sweet Leaf Teas overall here at Leafygreen.info and maybe you will too.
When I say this is the softest tee shirt I have ever worn, I am for real. The Statues: Don’t Just Stand There (women’s long sleeve tee with text) is 70% Bamboo and 30% Organic Cotton. I have one in the color storm, which is a lovely shade of light purple, and I have it in a large to fit over my preggo belly.
