Who Doesn’t Love Organic?

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

Who doesn’t love organic?

Organic cotton sheets, organic fruits and vegetables and even organic makeup!

Do your body a favor and use products that are as close to nature as possible. Toss those nasty chemicals for an all natural makeup and your skin will thank you.

Your face is probably tired of being slathered with things that even you can’t pronounce. Why do that do yourself when you could be using makeup made with pure water, jojoba esters and natural oils?

Yes, even VEGAN! Certified organic ingredients, NOT tested on animals, free from chemicals and from fair trade sources.

Earth would approve (and your face will too!)

Less Junk Mail

Sunday, June 26th, 2011

Does your mailbox overflow?

Oh, not your email inbox, your physical mailbox.

Some days, all there is in there is junk mail!

You know there’s a way to help stop all that unwanted mail!

Just head over to the non-profit Catalog Choice where you can join over a million others who have also signed up to ‘opt out’ for free. You first create an account (it’s free) then search for the catalog/phone book, coupons and other unsolicited mail senders, fill out the form and they’ll work for you to get your name removed.

Less junk in your mailbox, means more trees saved.

Tech Head – Think Geek

Saturday, June 25th, 2011

As part of my green mentality, I like to do a lot of shopping from home. That means I’m online shopping for new gadgets for all the techy and mechanical type people on my gift lists.

New stuff comes out all year! There’s no reason I need to wait until right before the holidays to order. Timing my purchases out throughout the year allows me to take advantage of sales, specials and my favorite, online coupons!

I wouldn’t think of buying at most stores without a coupon code. I love the ThinkGeek coupon and the Apple Store promo code as they really help take a bite out of a bigger purchase.

It makes me feel like I can get a little bit bigger or better gift if I can save money, and time, by shopping online with a coupon.

These days, most shopping cart software has some kind of coupon system the business owner can utilize. It’s easy, you set up your online coupon in many different variations, (dollars off, percentage off, free shipping,keyword etc) then make sure that your favorite online coupon/news source knows about your coupons, you know, like GeekAlerts!

GeekAlerts offers tidbits of information about the latest gadgetry, gizmos and geeky stuff. It’s a tech-heads dream come true.
