These hand crafted homeopathic remedies enhance the soul and lead to a calmer existence.

“Nectar Essences remedies were developed by a holistic health practitioner as a safe and natural means for easing emotional and mental stress. Homeopathic flower essences like Bach Rescue Remedy™ and organic essential oils are combined to make unique energy-infused formulas, each focusing on a particular need in modern day life. Take time to smell the flowers and enjoy our aromatic remedies as sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.”

Just spray, inhale, and repeat. For more information and for some natural, elegant, homeopathic remedies please visit http://www.nectaressences.com/

As a warning, the smells and ensuing good feelings can become pleasingly  addictive. I’ve already gone through 2 bottles!

These shoes are an excellent way of showing a green lifestyle at the most important event of the happy couple’s life. You will notice that they use ribbons instead of leather or other materials, these can be coordinated with the brides and bridesmaids dresses. One the wedding is over these can be changed to another colour more suitable to daily life.

Amazon has so far been hit with using excessive materials such as plastic for its delivery of goods purchased online. Thus with their new program called the Frustration Free Packaging, customers will no longer go through the trouble of digging deep when their package arrives as the excess fillers like plastic covers or Styrofoam and all have been totally taken out.

Rather, you can simply find the actual good or product when you open it, sealed professionally and surely delivered the way it should be.

You don’t have to worry about those circus peanut Styrofoam things being part of the package. The company has a list of stuff that’s currently being sent with Frustration-Free Packaging.

Diapers are common needs these days. Compared to the initial days where cloth diapers were shelved in favor of the disposable ones for convenience, it is apparent that we are being wooed into shifting back to the traditional cloth diapers to help bring down waste contribution by disposable baby diapers.

Seeing the need and potential demand and shift by people towards the ancient cloth diapers, Bumkins Finer Baby Products has once again offered the traditional cloth diapers in different bundles. It has even offered a starter pack and given time, people will definitely be shifting towards the early days where cloth diapers were in focus.

The cloth diapering bundles from Bumkins are available in three and six packs, and come complete with instructional, educational “Quick Start” guides that provide parents with the tips and tools necessary to make transitioning into cloth diapering a simple and smooth experience. They are available in three different cloth diaper varieties: the All in One, the Diaper Cover and the Fitted Bamboo diaper, and as such, represent the most diverse and comprehensive cloth diapering sets available to the public. The bundles are stylishly and minimally packaged in self-shipping boxes to further reinforce the green nature of this innovative product offering from Bumkins.

However, when it comes to a product call the Trolly Dolly by ZPM then usability takes on a new meaning.

This particular bag is known as the “Twenty five bags in one bag” this includes fourteen strong washable nylon bags, ten sealable fruit and vegetable bags, the set is completely colour coordinated just to show everyone that you have a set and not a load of odd bags. Which actually says it all really, except,  What happens when you manage to fill all of these bags up?

I found these ultra cute eco sandals from their recycled leather collection, actually most (if not all) of their products are made using 99% recycled leather. The leather comes from seats, armchairs, and such.

I like the sandals above because of the toe loop, instead of the flip flop traditional design. The toe loop is easier on my small sweet feet. I also am really digging the flower applique on the side of the straps.

Be Good Designs are an up and coming green brand, and one to add to your eco shopping provider wish list. Their site was acting up for me earlier, so not sure if you will be able to view all their offerings. Let me know.

Gotta love that name.

The blog is run by an Ali Berman, who from her About page, was at one time a big time model. She started the site to showcase shoes, accessories, and other veg goodies for vegetarians. She knows how hard it can be to find stylish cruelty free shoes in most stores, and sometimes even online. So she decided to do something about it, and that is how her site came to be.

In her own words,

Swankyveg.com is a website for fashion obsessed veggies. You want the latest trends, but don’t want to spend hours searching for the vegan version of the boots you saw at Barneys

Swankyveg.com gives you info and links to the best deals, new accessories and always cruelty free items no matter what your budget, for your busy and compassionate life.

Do pay her a visit, when you get a chance.

What a great example some stars make to us all, it is really refreshing seeing Julia Roberts going to the supermarket getting the food in, not too sure about the car that she is getting in though, but as they say, “small steps at a time”

These small business owners are anti-big and anti-TRADITIONAL advertisting. They aim to make a profit as any other business, just not at any cost. They value their customers, they value where they operate, and they value most of all, being socially responsible.

One of the businesses showcased is vegan shoe shop, Moo Shoes. They are small, women owned, based in New York, and market cruelty-free products (vegan shoes). Below is what they have to say about how they present their product. 

Antipreneurs do pay careful attention to how their products are presented. Moo Shoes, a $1.2 million New York vegan shoe store with five employees, has made its shop a community hub for information about the vegan lifestyle and about animal cruelty. This spring, Moo Shoes hosted Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, a national agency for stray and abused pets. Best Friends set up pens and cages in the store with about 20 homeless dogs and cats. Customers learned about the agency and the strays, and two cats were placed in city homes. “We care about animals, and getting animals homes is important to us, though not directly related to the shoes,” says Moo Shoes co-founder Sara Kubersky.

Moo Shoes have been written about here on Keetsa a gazilllion times, i love their stylish and funky designs. I love this type of company, those who successfully mix profit with compassion. Moo Shoes also tends to support smaller artists, as they give the sustainable shoemakers a venue to market their wares. In turn they too are able to meet the demand of animal lovers who prefer not wear leather and other animal-based materials.

How do they get the word out?

Moo Shoes places ads in vegetarian magazines (e.g. Vegetarian Times) and other non traditional media. As you can imagine they go where there customers tend to be located. They support animal organizations and preach the gospel of cruelty-free living.

They are well known (and respected) in the the community in which they serve, this is how they get the word out, and how they stay relevant.

They have recently come out with Renew, a green sandal.

vegan-sandals-from-dr-scholls.jpg

What makes the groovy sandal green? It is made using sustainable wood, has a hemp canvas strap, and uses recycled metal for its buckle. This style of clog sandals usually don’t look comfortable, but surprisingly they are. I like the white strap, and overall fresh look.

The vegan hemp sandals from Dr Scholls are great for an upcoming Spring or Summer stroll. The final say, “Fun, hip, and flirty”.

It’s no secret that one of my favorite green shoe brands is Simple and  they get profiled regularly at GGS. I also cover them at my vegetarian blog, but at GGS they get covered exclusively and regularly.

If you’re looking for some vegetarian or eco friendly shoes, or just like to peruse hip vegan foot fashions, give Great Green Shoes a visit.
