Cold in California

It is freezing. I really shouldn't complain since I'm "freezing" in San Jose, California. Waking up to the 41degree weather isn't that awesome but again, at least its not BELOW freezing. I came across a fun website called The Hempest which has a huge selection of organic hemp clothing. Their selections range from the outdoorsy gal to the city chic gal. Perfect outwear for the California cold.

Reveal Handbags

"In 1999, REVEAL’s founders, Terry Omata and Jiaying Wei, traveled to the world’s most populated countries, China and India. There they saw people working hard to escape poverty and attain the Western lifestyle: striving to have bigger houses, faster cars and the latest fashion. Realizing the world’s understandable desire to obtain a higher standard of living would ultimately cause our planet’s deterioration, they created REVEAL to reinvent fashion in an eco-friendly and viable way.

REVEAL’s fashion bags are made with the best recycled, organic and sustainable materials available. The mission of REVEAL is to do exactly what the name suggests, reveal how our products are made and empower consumers with information they need to make better choices.


With REVEAL, being fashionable and socially responsible are no longer mutually exclusive. Finally, you don’t have to choose between fashion and a better planet." (revealbags.com)

REVEAL products co-founded by my dear friend Annie Omata's older brother to mix chic fashion while preserving the environment. Here are some of my personal favorites :)

I've taken a huge leave of absence due to my travels to Korea.... but during my hiatus I've found some wonderfully fabulous things!

Mrs. Meyer's products are all Earth Friendly & Cruelty Friendly. Check out Mrs. Meyer's Environmental Info & see for yourself how much they care about the environment and the safety of humans and four legged furry friends too!

Some of my fav's are the Geranium Scent Diffuser & the Lavender Candle made from vegetable soy wax!

NBA Green Week

Since I'm from the Bay Area and a HUGE Golden State Warriors fan...It's great to hear about their contribution to the environment. Good job Dubs :)

"The Warriors will partner with Esurance again for Go Green Night on Wednesday, April 8. Esurance will be the presenting sponsor of Go Green Night as the Warriors host the Minnesota Timberwolves at 7:30 p.m. As part of Go Green Night, the first 5,000 fans entering the arena will receive an eco-friendly reusable grocery bag, courtesy of Esurance. Additionally, players from both teams will be wearing 100 percent organic cotton adidas NBA Green Week shooting shirts during warm-ups." NBA Green Week

Green Toys

So this past Christmas I got an Indoor Gardening Kit from my dear friend Grace. Made from the company, Green Toys, is a 100% recycled plastic, recycled milk jugs to be exact, environmentally friendly toy. Check out their website at Green Toys where you can find a store near you! Even though they're for children, these incredibly chic plants will go perfect in a modern gals room :)
