I have been trying out an EMK Audrey Tapestry Bag for a couple of weeks now and I completely love it. Its an earthy shade of chocolate brown, and made from thick and luxurious feeling cotton. The EMK Audrey bag is lined with durable denim, and features an inside zippered pocket and snap closure. The bag I tried is big and roomy, making it perfect for moms like me carry a lot of gear. I especially love the Audrey Bag's long wide strap that allows me to comfortably wear this bag across my chest; making it hands free, secure, and perfect for traveling. I completely recommend EMK bags for anyone looking for a stylish and functional everyday bag.

This line includes the great playpen sheet that I tried, as well as beautiful organic bassinet sheets, and organic crib sheets. Everything from this line is made in Canada from 100% organic cotton and comes in lovely warm colors.

Be Present Eco-Friendly Yoga Clothing ~ Review and Giveaway - CLOSED
Even though I am more of a weekend yoga gal than a yogini, I completely live in yoga wear. I especially love when I can find yoga wear that is eco-friendly such as Be Present. This family owned business makes stylish, comfortable, and planet friendly yoga wear. Be Present clothing feels great to wear, both on the inside and out and and is made for wherever your life may take you.
I tried the beautiful Renew Drape Front Cardigan from Be Present and I am completely in love. This thoughtfully designed cardigan is cut to be very flattering with clean lines and a long draped body. I also love the big pockets and long sleeves. This versatile top will easily take you from the yoga studio, around town with the kids, or even out on a date - because if your like me once you find something you like you never want to take it off.
The Renew Drape Front Cardigan from Be Present is not only looks beautiful, it also wonderfully eco-friendly. It is made from a 50/50 blend of organic cotton and RPET (a fabric made from recycled plastic bottles). This blend results in a silky soft, yet strong, knit fabric that feels great next to my skin. It is thin and drapes beautifully, yet is also warm and cozy. I have been living in this sweater - it is perfect for cool evenings and it makes me feel good knowing its very existence diverted 3-5 plastic bottles from a landfill.
Be Present doesn't just make great active wear, they are also a business with a conscience. Everything is made with fairness and integrity in the US. They have great environmental practices, including using eco-friendly and organic materials and keeping manufacturing within a 20 mile radius of their headquarters. Be Present also gives back by donating a percentage of their proceeds to local, national and global charities. I love supporting small business that give back to the community and are committed to the environment, and I feel great recommending Be Present.
Shop: Be Present has a lovely selection of unique and livable clothing. The Lovely Renew Drape Front Cardigan reviewed above retails for $69.00 US and can be bought online at BePresent.com.

Modern-twist ~ Place Mat and Kids Box Review and Giveaway - CLOSED
I love when design, fun, and functionality come together to create an absolutely wonderful product. This is the case with Modern-twist's artistic and unique place mats for kids. These beautifully designed mats are made from eco-friendly and safe silicone that has been silk screened to create function art for your table. These mats are also deigned like a dry-erase board and can be colored on and wiped clean again and again- Genius!
The Kids Place mats from Modern-twist feature funky and fun artwork- that will be loved by both adults and kids. They are a great way to introduce kids to modern art, while also inspiring them to create their own masterpiece. Modern-twist Kids Place Mats are made in collaboration with independent artists to bring art to the table, and I complete love them. They are such a nice departure from tacky princess animation and they really beautify our table.
Modern-twist sent us a Kids Box and a Kat in the City place mat for my older girls to try and they have been having so much fun with them. My older girls have each claimed a mat as their own and have spent hour upon hour at the kitchen table coloring their place mats. They love that if they make a small mistake they just wet some paper towel, wipe clean, and color again. I love that Modern-twist mats keep my girls happily creating for hours and that they save trees by reducing paper waste. Modern-twist play mats also fold small making them ideal for travel or restaurant visits.
Modern-twist also has a lovely selection of stylish eco-friendly, nature inspired silicone items for your home. I especially love the Modern-twist place mats and coasters. Again these items are made with safe and eco-friendly silicone, and are not only beautiful but durable and easily washable. They are perfect for a modern kitchen, or anywhere in your home.
Modern-twist is a company with a conscious. They use recycled and recyclable packaging for all shipping. They also manufacture these mats in ways that are responsible and ethical, and respectful to the environment and the people who make them. I also love that Modern-twist donates a percentage of the proceeds from all products to environmentally and socially conscious non-profit organizations.
Shop: A lovely selection of modern and hip silicone items for kids and for adults can be purchased online at Modern-twist or at a retailer near you. The Kids Box reviewed above, which includes storage box, 1 mat and 6 non-toxic dry erase markers retails for $26 US.

Kicky Pants ~ Bamboo Pajama Review
I love to dress my girls in Bamboo - its so soft, breathable, durable, and eco-friendly. A great place to find lovely bamboo basics for little ones is Kicky Pants. This family owned business specializes in beautifully simple, cashmere soft, comfortable clothing for babies, kids, and moms to be. I absolutely love everything they make; its truly clothing to live in.
I have been looking for some natural light weight summer PJ's for my little one, and I have found them! Kicky Pants sleepwear is made from silky soft bamboo which is a great warm weather fabric. Bamboo wicks away sweat and feels cool next to the skin making it perfect for hot summer nights. We tried the adorable Print Pajama Set from Kicky Pants and we love them. They are beautifully made out of silky soft bamboo and are so comfortable. I also was happy to learn that since these pajamas are snug fitting they don't contain any toxic fire retardants. I completely recommend Kicky Pants to anyone looking for ultra soft high quality bamboo clothing.
Kicky Pants carries a lovely variety of clothing for adults, moms to be, kids, toddlers, and babies. They have some of the sweetest dresses around, cute tees for mom, sleepwear for babies and kids, cozy onesies, and so much more. I love that everything at Kicky Pants is truly made to be lived in- washable, comfortable, and durable.
Why Bamboo? I like bamboo because its an eco-friendly and sustainable crop. It grows quickly without any pesticides or irrigation and is much kinder to the planet that most clothing crops. Bamboo is also really nice to wear no matter what the weather- it stays 2-3 degrees cooler in hot weather and stays warmer in cool weather making bamboo clothing comfortable and versatile.

Kootsac Re-usable Bags Review and Giveaway - CLOSED
I am always looking for more ways to ditch plastic, so I am so happy with my latest eco- find: Kootsac. This awesome Canadian Etsy shop creates re-usable cloth bags for your bulk and produce purchases. Each bag is hand-made in the Kootenays of BC out of ripstop nylon, cotton, or natural silk. They weigh the same as traditional plastic produce and bulk bags, but they are completely re-usable and kind to our planet.
We do a lot of bulk shopping, so I have been using my new Kootsac bags a ton. I tried two beautifully bright nylon bags and I completely love them. I have been using them for all of my bulk shopping- even for flour, and they work perfectly. The unlined nylon is very strong, washable, and easily close-able with a twist tie. I have also been the large sized bag for produce and it works great.
I also had the chance to try a Kootsac natural silk re-usable bag. This is a great choice for those who are looking for an all natural and biodegradable re-usable bag. I have been using the kootsac silk bag a ton as well. It is my favorite for spices and holds even the finest materials. I completely recommend both the silk and the nylon bags for all of your produce and bulk shopping needs.
This great eco-friendly shop was started when the creator realized that she was using far too much plastic while bulk shopping at her local health food store. She wanted to find an alternative that was lightweight, strong, and washable. She also wanted a bag that could be fastened closed and that had a tight enough weave to hold all of her bulk purchases. As a textile artist and clothing designer, she knew she could come up with a solution and set about designing Kootsac bags.
Shop: These bags are amazing, and so reasonable priced. They start at $4 per bag and can be found online at the Kootsac etsy Shop.

Hopscotch Kids Safe Nail Polish Review and Giveaway
All three of my girls love to play dress-up and wear nail polish, so I am always excited to learn about non-toxic polish for kids. My latest safe nail polish find is Hopscotch Kids Water Colors Safe Nail Polish. This water based nail polish is gentle, non-toxic, eco-friendly, hypoallergenic, and completely biodegradable. It also comes in 9 pretty and fun colors that kids of all ages will love.
Hopscotch Kids Water Colors Safe Nail Polish is completely safe and non-toxic. It doesn't contain any of the scary chemicals that you will find in almost all other polish on the market such as; toluene, dibutyl phthalate, formaldehyde, acetone, or heavy metals. My youngest always has her hands in her mouth, so a non-toxic polish is a must. Hopscotch polish also smells mild and doesn't release noxious fumes.
We love to do "spa day" at our house and our Hopscotch Kids nail polish has been a great addition to our natural spa play. All three of my girls love the Bubble Gum in a Dish polish we tried- it is so bright and fun. It also glides on smoothly and little nails only need one coat to look perfectly pink. I was also impressed at how fast this polish dries, because honestly my little girls wont stay still for long.
We also tried the corn based Hopscotch Kids Water Colors Polish Remover. This all-natural polish remover is gentle and contains natural conditioners such as Aloe and Vitamin E. It works great at removing Hopscotch Kids Water Colors Safe Nail Polish, and it has a mild smell.
Where to buy: Hopscotch Kids Water Colors Safe Nail Polish and Natural Polish Remover can be found online at Raspberrykids.com. The Hopscotch Kids Water Colors Polish Remover retails for CA$ 9.99 and the Hopscotch Kids Water Colors Safe Nail Polish comes in 9 great colors and retails CA$ 12.99.
The Giveaway: Sue from Raspberry Kids has generously offered to give one of my readers a Hopscotch Kids Gift Bag, just like the one I tried. So one winner will receive a bottle of Bubble Gum pink polish, a bottle of Water Colors Polish Remover , and an emery board ~ everything you need for an all natural manicure.

Since Hopscotch kids polish is water based, some special instructions are needed to get great results. The polish will peal off if you don't let it set for a couple of hours before having a bath or shower. The Hopscotch Kids gift pack I received from Raspberry Kids also contains an emery board- and we found a gentle buff really helps the polish adhere to your nails and last longer. Once we buffed and let the polish set overnight, it lasts several days and looks beautiful. I have been completely happy with Hopscotch Kids Water Colors Safe Nail Polish and I completely recommend it to any natural mama with girly girls.

The opinions expressed in the above review are my honest experiences, and thoughts. I did not receive any money for writing
How it works? When amber is worn close to your skin, your body heats up the amber resin causing the release of trace amounts of healing oils from the amber. These oils contain succinic acid, which acts as a natural pain reliever, anti-inflammatory, and to increase energy and wellness. Commonly referred to as "teething jewelry", amber is especially effective for children and has been used in Europe to ease teething pain for hundreds of years. Inspired by Finn has some impressive testimonials from customers who have gotten relief from a variety of ailments including arthritis, migraines, menstrual cramps,joint pain, and chemotherapy side effects.
My Daughter has been wearing a lovely Rainbow round necklace for the last couple of weeks and we love it. It is so pretty and she loves to roll it in her fingers when she is relaxing. She is not currently teething, but I have noticed her general mood has improved a lot since she has been wearing her Inspired by Finn amber necklace. She has sleeping a little better at night and just seems happier. I tend to be a little sceptical of some non-traditional healing methods, but I have been thoroughly impressed with how well my little one has been responding to her amber necklace. I love when I can find a natural way to improve my kids health, and I completely recommend Inspired by Finn Baltic amber jewelry.
The necklaces and bracelets offered at Inspired by Finn are hand-crafted using authentic Baltic amber beads. Baltic amber is considered the most beautiful of all amber's, and I can see why: Inspired by Finn jewelry is simply gorgeous. I especially love the way my daughters necklace looks in the sunshine. Each hand-strung piece features double knotted thread that is designed for safety and longevity. The necklace closure is also genius and is made from two amber looking beads that screw together.
