Because It's The Holiday Season

I know my second post should probably be on a topic a tad more profound than green gift wrap solutions...but it's not...so deal.

I stumbled upon an amazing website that makes reusable gift wrap! I don't know about y'all but every Christmas my waste goes from 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. Cut down on the wasteful wrapping paper, people!!!

Lyziwraps are reusable bags made from silk that are as trendy as they are green! And guess what? They're washable! This is a great way to not only help save the environment but to also spread the word about being green. So, give you friends an amazing gift in a Lyziwrap!



Going Green WIthout Going Gross.

The problem, Defined:

I buy water bottles every two weeks.

I don't bring my own bags to the grocery store.

I shop, and then shop some more.

I don't recycle.

I eat preservatives and lean cuisine every day.

I drink Diet Coke like it's water. (If water taste like Diet Coke I would drink more water. Just sayin')

I take out at least 3 bags of trash a week.

I take really long hot showers. Twice a day.

I leave lights on all day.

I wash chemicals down the drain on a daily basis

I use toxic products on my body. (Anti-aging is important!)

Mother Earth is one trash bag away from cutting me out of the Will.

I started this blog because I knew I needed to change. I'm all about change.

Because I hate the shade of grey, everything has a tendency to be black and white with me. Meaning, when I do something, I do it all the way. I'm one extreme or the other. Go big or go home right? However, whenever I see a celebrity or anyone going green they always end up looking....well, like shit. I wanted to maintain the level of glamour and femininity that I am accustom to. Why do I have to give up my anti-aging products, my smell goods, my makeup, my comfort? I don't think we have to. The goal is to find organic replacements! I'm going to green and staying fabulous!

This blog is my journey from wasteful to waste-less.
