Sexy Eco Travel Mug

Are you bored with your ordinary travel mug?  The Therm-O Terra vessel by aquaovo is so sexy and eco-friendly.  This eco-thermal glass vessel can be used for hot or cold drinks.  It even has a removable stainless steel tea strainer.  I really love this new take on the travel mug!

What makes the Therm-O Terra eco-friendly?
  • Lead free and BPA free
  • Eliminates the use of disposable bottles and cups

All winged out { Friday FUN Find }

I'm in LOVE with modern, over-sized, high back wing chairs - they are so dramatic and fun!  Several weeks ago I spotted one with a script alphabet fabric at T.J. Maxx, then a few days later I noticed a similar chair in NBC's Revenge.  Then I found a few more...  I would love to see this "Loren" chair from Vielle and Frances covered in one of my fabrics OR maybe I will create a new fabric with some sort of script!  Better yet, I may even design my own high back wing chair!


Have a great weekend everyone!

I know it looks good, but DON'T eat it!

I ran across a new website that I LOVE - It is called livingreen - They sell products for a healthier lifestyle.  I love finding new eco-friendly sources!  While browsing the store I came across eco-dough - it is made with natural extracts.  It has such great natural colors - it's the perfect Spring gift.  I wish I new about it years ago - When my son was 2 or so, I plopped a handful of play dough (store bought not homemade) in front of him at the table.  I turned around and when I turned back he had eaten a big hunk out of it.  I failed to tell him it wasn't food :)

What makes eco-dough eco-friendly?
  • handmade with natural & organic fruit, plant, and vegetable extracts from annatto seed, beets, blueberries, carrots, paprika, purple sweet potato, red cabbage and spinach, flour, salt, cream of tartar, organic rosemary oil, vitamin E oil, soybean oil, coconut oil, potassium sorbate and citric acid. **sounds good enough to eat!
  • non-toxic
  • if it becomes dry just add a few drops of olive oil and rework

Time for a vacation...

I'm going on vacation!!!  We will be driving to New Orleans then cruising to Progreso and Cozumel Mexico!  I'm very excited to get away, but also very busy...  I can't wait to hit the road and take a deep cleansing breath...  I will not be blogging next week, but I will be posting some past post to go with my vacationing mood!

Happy Spring Colors!

Spring has sprung in Minnesota (for now anyway) - We have been in the 70s for over a week and the trees have little leafs and the grass in getting green.  We even had a thunder storm last night.  Many of you may not realize that this is VERY unusual in Minnesota.  We would normally have 40s and snow this time of year, so wearing tank tops and flip flops this early is a gift!  I'm in a Spring mood and I LOVE color!  I'm  also a fan of Design Seeds, which is full of color inspiration.  Here are some beautiful Spring color palettes by Design Seeds.

Happy Spring everyone!

A wee bit Irish...

I'm only a "wee bit Irish", but St. Patrick's day is always fun.  I'm not into decorating for a St. Patrick's day, but I did find these great shamrocks on Etsy.

Have a great weekend everyone!
