Every Man Jack Personal Care Products

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

At our house, and no doubt many others, there’s a difference of opinion regarding “green” personal products.  One of us prefers the environmentally-friendly, low-chemical brands while the other insists that the products actually work.

Every Man Jack hair and body products are groundbreaking in that they’re both at once.

Every Man Jack packaging uses 100% recyclable materials.  Their products contain no parabens, sodium lauryl sulfates, dyes, phthalates, synthetic fragrances or testrasodium EDTA.  What’s more, they never test on animals.

And… they work!  (According to the man of the house.)  The shampoo effectively cleans, the body wash efficiently cleanses, and the lotion really does moisturize.

Now we need an Every Girl Jane.  Please?

Reusable Produce and Bulk Foods Bags

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

Happy Vegetable Reusable Bags in Red by Seattle-based Wunderthunder are a fabulous idea.  It seems Meagan and Sasha have thought of everything:

This is a set of four reusable vegetable bags including a bonus herb bag.  Made from preshrunk recycled cotton muslin with an organic cotton drawstring.  Drawn and screen-printed at our home with water-based ink on preshrunk and recycled cotton muslin.  A great biodegradable alternative to plastic bags!  Easy and fun to use! Entertain your local grocer!

Take to the farmer’s market to bag your apples, cabbage, limes, lettuce, snap peas, or radishes without that horrible plastic bag guilt. Perfect for the bulk aisle of the grocery store for lugging home a bunch of bulk cereal, rice, pasta, flour, or even gummy sharks and chocolate bits.

Use the little herb bag to purchase cheap bulk herbs or teas. Take it to your local herbalist store and bring home some medicinal herbs to clean out your liver!

They won’t effect the scale at the grocery store either!
The large bag weighs .75 oz, the medium .45 oz, and the small .25 oz. The largest bag will add .001 lb.

In your set of four you will receive:
Large 10” x 12”
Medium 6” x 10”
Small 6” x 5.5”
Herb 3.5” x 5”

All sizes have a drawstring except for the little one!

Machine washable, tumble dry.

Etsy, $20 for the set of 4 bags (purchase here)
