(photo by blissful images – the perfect earth day purchase, don’t you think?)

i think most people that know me would agree i’m not the most green person you’ll ever meet.  i refuse to cancel my catalog subscriptions, i can’t be bothered to sort my glass from my plastics, and it’s maybe one time out of ten that i remember to bring those reuseable bags into the market.

but i’m never one to ignore a holiday, especially when there are deals to be had!  so, here are a few of my favorite ways for you to go green with minimal effort this earth day:

terra collection:  our much-loved sponsor’s decadent organic cotton tees are 50% off for the rest of the week, in celebration of earth day.  use code “earthlove” at checkout, and stock up!  every one is beautifully embroidered, pro-planet, and each purchase means a 15% discount to an earth-loving charity.  

suki hair:  i was browsing the aisles of my neighborhood whole foods the other day and saw that my favorite green beauty line, suki, has released a shampoo and conditioner!  naturally, i had to try them immediately.  if you’re not afraid of low-lather shampoo (it’s never bothered me…), this stuff is fantastic!  it smells as wonderful as their lemongrass cleanser that i can’t get enough of, it left my hair so much more moisturized than it normally is, and just generally is making me happy.  plus, it’s vegan – so my northwest cred is intact.

rume bags:  i get a reuseable tote maybe once a week these days…it seems almost impossible to avoid.  but the ones that actually make it into the store are my rume bags, every time.  and when they do, customers and baggers alike compliment them.  they’re huge, have a flat bottom, hold an unbelievable amount of stuff, and are actually pretty cute for grocery bags.  plus, i do love the velcro fold-up thing…very handy.  get 20% off sitewide today with code EARTH.

so, happy earth day, readers – how will you be celebrating?  i hope you’ll recycle a glass bottle for me!

remember those gorgeous eco-friendly tees we gave away for valentine’s day?  well, the wonderful owner of the company – terra collection – is our newest shoppingsmycardio sponsor!  very exciting…and i hope you’ll all give her the love and appreciation she deserves.

terra collection tees are some of my absolute favorite for quality and design, even when you don’t consider their eco cred.  each tee is partially screened, partially embroidered, to give a fantastic multi-dimensional effect to the design.  and they’re made of super soft organic cotton, my latest obsession.  plus, choose from a long list of charities to score 15% of the purchase price – i so love charitable excuses to shop!

check out all of the designs – my favorite changes every time i look, but today it’s the air tee.  best of all, to celebrate the onset of spring, score 25% off any style with code spring at checkout.  so go on, give our fabulous new sponsor a very warm welcome, and show her some retail love!

i wanted to take a moment to introduce our newest advertiser, in the hopes that you’ll make them feel right at home.  so, please welcome beegee bags (who you probably remember from that fab giveaway we did in december) to the fold!  

i’m still completely in love with my beegee…it has been my saving grace – i’m using it to hold everything that doesn’t go in the wallet or the makeup pouch (you know…keys, iphone, xanax…kidding…mostly), and all of a sudden, changing handbags to match my ensemble has become much less a chore and more a labor of love.  and it’s made multiple rotations as a day clutch as well…it’s just so much higher quality than most bags of this style that i don’t even worry about working it to death.  this one’s next on my must-have list…it’s going to be perfect for spring!

check out their darling new ad at left, and treat them right, dear readers.  remember:  the more love you show the ads, the more time i can spend finding ways for you to burn through that tax refund we’ll all be getting soon!
