Wish List Worthy!

Water faucet necklace

This necklace from Bright and Bold is totally wish list worthy! I love how unique it is, and that it even has a water droplet coming out of it. So fun, quirky, and it is handmade. As it says on their site the necklace is made “from reclaimed sterling silver, and features a weathered, old-fashioned faucet with a single glass drop of water. An eco-friendly gift to remind the world of how important water is to our very existence, and how important water conservation needs to be. A necklace created by a trendy environmentalist fashion designer who shows a true passion for the environment and living green.”

Roller Skates from FredFlare.com

These roller skates from FredFlare.com are totally wish list worthy! Look at the pink wheels and brake! Even though I think it would be a challenge to go back to “old fashioned” roller skates after being a rollerblader, there is just something about them that makes me want them!

The Ivory Magnolia

I first heard about The Ivory Magnolia shop through a giveaway going on right now at Purplepinkandorange.com. Wow their stuff looks delicious! And delicious stuff is absolutely wish list worthy in my book. I am really tempted by all the scents, but especially the jasmine. I love the smell of jasmine.

Precious Green Beads at Angie Hearts

I just learned of a very cool website called Angie Hearts. They have a lot of wish list worthy goodies, and their prices are quiet good as well. Right now I am loving this green bead necklace:

There is just something that I love so much about jewelry made from precious stones. The natural beauty of it seems to go with just about anything at all. Very wish list worthy indeed!

Slate Solar Stepping Stones

We would love to have these in our garden! We think almost everything that is solar powered is wish list worthy, but what a great idea to have stepping stones that light up the way in the dark.

These come in a two pack, and are from Gaiam.com. What a fun way to dress up your outdoors for the summer, and go a little green at the same time.

Blue Citrus Art has some very lovely prints. We think all of them are wish list worthy, but especially this White Cherry Blossom print. If you click the image you will be taken to their Etsy shop where you can purchase any of their amazing prints.

We found out about them through Purplepinkandorange, they are having a giveaway featuring Blue Citrus Art, and one lucky winner will get to choose a print (enter soon, the contest ends June 14th at midnight).

Casio Waveceptor Watch

This watch is amazingly wish list worthy! Why? Because it sets itself! That’s right, no more worrying if you have the right time. No more fiddling with your watch just because of daylight savings time and other things like that. Isn’t that cool? Yes indeed, we want one!

Chic Shopper Chick just happens to be giving one away on her blog too.

We love the Wii!

Aimee — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 14:14:53 +0000

We absolutely love the Nintendo Wii gaming system, and are hoping to get our hands on a Wii Fit sometime very soon. Wish list worthy for so many reasons, first it’s just plain fun. Second, it actually can help you get into better shape! It’s a great way to work out and we can’t wait to see what other new games will come out in the future that utilize the unique Wii Fit board.

Review: Gorgeously Green

Aimee — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 03:46:31 +0000

I was really excited to get a copy of Gorgeously Green for review! What a fun book! Most of the time books about “going green” can be a mix between a guilt trip and a horror movie. This book, while it did address the reasons why certain things we use everyday are bad for us, it did it in a more friendly way and offered simple solutions to help go a little greener.

Each chapter has a page with 5 things you can choose from to help you be a little more eco-friendly with your choices. You can choose to do just one, or all of the suggestions, but like the author says throughout the book, even if you just make one change you are making a difference.

Some of the options for being greener are pretty pricey though, which is sadly still the case with so many quality products. And be warned, some changes would take a lot of getting used to (have you ever tried natural shampoos or deodorants?), while others are really easy to get used to (we love our bamboo sheets, they are so soft). Overall though, the suggestions are simple enough that anyone should be able to incorporate at least one change into their lives.

I really enjoyed the book, and would recommend Gorgeously Green to anyone interested in doing a little more for the planet while staying gorgeous at the same time.
