We recently bumped into this fabulous company, which sells what we've dubbed as eco-bling ! Brilliant Earth was founded by then fiances Beth Gerstein and Eric Grossberg, as a desire to offer certified conflict-free diamonds as a safer alternative to current industry practices of "blood diamonds" (for those of you who have no idea what these are...we suggest you rent the movie, by the same name, so you get the picture. It has Leonardo DiCaprio as the leading role, so if nothing else entices you to watch perhaps HE will). They are based in San Francisco, CA and our highly committed to social and environmental responsibility.


How are they making a difference?

• Certified conflict free diamonds from Canada


• Fair labor and eco-friendly practices


• 5% of profits donated to help local African communities


• Unrivaled quality and customer service

So next time you're shopping around for an engagement ring or for "just-because-bling" -- go to: http://www.brilliantearth.com/








With all the latest news, research, and talk about opting to GO GREEN when it comes to anything baby....it's no wonder the pet industry has quickly caught on to this concept (seeing how pets are treated like human babies by many loving owners). Olive "Green Goods for Modern Dogs" offers an array of eco-friendly and whimsical dog products. I don't own a dog, but if I did...I would most definitely be shopping here.

Remember those white slip-on sneakers with the little blue rubber patch on the back that were quite the "must have" for all teens during the early 90's? Don't deny it, we all know you went crazy for them like the rest of us. Well, they're back ! Keds has just launched their line of earth-friendly shoes which incorporate 100% organic cotton upper (25% recycled), 25% recycled rubber outsole, and printing done trough the use of water-based inks. How's that for a retro twist on eco-fabulousness ?
