Simply Links – April

It’s that time again – time to tell you about some things I’ve come across that I am really please about. Like, for example:

Mrs Meyers Clean Day Basil Scented Cleaners

First of all, who doesn’t love Mrs Meyer’s Clean Day packaging? Because it’s fabulous. But beyond that, their products are green, work fantastically, and smell… ahhh. And basil? Yes, please.

Twist Sponge Cloths

I made a trip to our local health food store, where they have a decent selection of environmentally friendly cleaning and beauty products, as well. I grabbed a pack of these Sponge Cloths, and LOVE them. They’re about the size of a napkin, but feel more like a sponge. They clean like crazy, and according to the package, outlasts 17 ROLLS of paper towels. They come three to a pack. That’s alot of towels, folks. The best part – they work great.

Suubi Necklaces

My dear friend Brittany found out about this organization, Light Gives Heat, which – among other things – provides Ugandan women with a sustainable wage for making these awesome recycled magazine paper necklaces. What could be better than that – recycling, sustainability, fair wages, and great design. You can buy them here – or if you know Brittany Brownfield she almost always has some available or has ordered a new box. And you can wear them with everything. I probably wear one of the two versions I have about four days a week.

Springy Shirt

Because my Simply Links post wouldn’t be complete without an Anthropologie find – here’s this shirt that looks totally cool and comfy, not to mention it’s embroidered with turquoise, Pantone’s 2010 color of the year, and perhaps my color of the decade. Ahhh.
