kind treats for valentine's day
I'm featuring some groovy Valentine's Day goodies in my OpenSky store right now, so I wanted to share them in case you're on the hunt for the perfect eco-friendly V-day gift. Check it out:
Vegan Divas Treats
Just in time to give to your favorite Valentine, Vegan Divas is offering their tasty treats in a pretty tin.
Eco iPhone Cases
I'm so excited about these little iPhone cases - it may sound silly, but I truly am. I was on the hunt for a super cute and ideally eco iPhone case, but I couldn't find one until these showed up in my life. Yay! It feels good to touch, and it makes me so happyevery time I use my phone. So excited to share this find with you all.
These cases are made from up-cycled plastic (100% recycled and all post-consumer waste). Each one of these guys contains at least one recycled plastic bottle. How groovy is that?
Plus they say you can fit your credit card or cash into the back for quick errands. Another model has a little pop-out tripod for making movies and such. All of the iPhone cases are shipped to you in biodegradable packing peanuts and come in boxes made of recycled paper.
Oh, and did I mention they're cute? That, too.
Sneak Peek:
Next week, I'm featuring Hair By Kiss Rosewater Foundation, which was created by celebrity hairstylist Martin Kiss. I don't normally use a ton of product in my hair, but this spritzer feels and smells nice ,probably because it's made from actual roses from Bulgaria. I also like that it's made from purified water, so it doesn't feel heavy or stiff in your hair. The idea is to spray it in your hair eachmorning to lift up your roots and moisturize your hair. It's also SAID TO BE good for people with thinning hair, as it promotes growth and thickness. It's super low-maintenance and really smells great.
Follow me on OpenSky to be sure you receive notification about lots more eco + veg items to come!

swm013 - me too! it's so rare :) Stan Vincent - I think they ship everywhere - "Do you ship outside the U.S.? Heck yes! We ship anywhere on earth" - in case you are in the market for an iphone case :)
-
Elise- thanks for the information! I always get a huge kick out of getting the full package. Made in USA, vegan, and earth friendly. So awesome!
-
Alicia - can you please share info on the jacket you're wearing in this video? It's adorable!
-
Regarding the video... I don't know who switched the camera angle, but the one on the side should have been a closer view of the iPhone case instead...
-
Also I'm really sorry if I'm rude sometimes, it's just that I tend to do things just for the fun of it and I don't know at all what effects it's going to have on peoples, so I'm cautious...
-
Your videos are always very nice, but it's not these who are going to give me a dose of sunshine, could you make even more efforts to look even less sympathetic and less sexy? Without being rude, I prefer the ones where you're cooking for thanksgiving, they're kind of depressing but seeing you playing with food add something... As for valentine day (or any other day) I spent an afternoon shopping for a gift a few months ago, I tought you had heard of it...

Check this out on You Tube: Meat Glue, a " dirty little secret". It was sent to me as an e-mail. I hope it can be tracked by it's title.
What is being done to our bodies in the interest of the almighty dollar.
To Elise: Looks interesting, will check it out, but probably not available north of the forty fifth parallel ( Canada ).

Hi everyone, I made these kind treats for Valentine's Day... they're heart healthy and SO delish. You can make them in advance and keep them in the freezer. http://reciperenovator.com/special-diets/vegan/cocoa-yummies/

We can only take small steps and one person who is bringing awareness to a few of us( trust me I am turning 60 this month and am the only one of my freinds who have Alicia's book or believe that you can have a healthy great life while not hurting animals)
Not that I have done it yet, but am really thinking and trying. I bought a wind chime today that was made in the USA. I believe someday that this Country will wake up and take care of their own.
Call me optimistic.....it is the only way to be
-
Probably a simple "I love you", followed by a tasty homemade treat. I agree with the other commenters, I'd like to see more healthy and sustainable products made right here in the USA.
Peace. ;)

I love these cases for iPhones! Do you have any ideas or suggestions for finding ecofriendly cases for a kindle? I recently got one and am looking for a case. Would greatly appreciate any recommendations! Thanks!!
This site is incredible and thank you for taking the time to provide the information and messages that you do. I always stop to read new posts, regardless of how busy my day gets!

In sync with "swmo13". I do not buy any food products from China. Tools- Yes.........Food- Big NO. Why would someone do that when so much North American grown food is thrown out every day. Cheap is not always better.
Now back to reality, I suppose.

I have that TRTL BOT case for my iPhone in green! I bought it when it from blissmo. It holds my ID and debit card. I used to forget my phone all the time. Now, I CAN'T leave it.
I get SO many compliments on my case, too! And I love when I get to tell people it's from 100% recycled materials!

Hi Alicia- Let me start by saying I love your blog and watching you on Oprah actually led me to adopting a vegan diet almost two years ago now. I know as a celebrity that has a cause you are probably often held accountable for way too many things and asked to pursue even more so I will try asking this without seeming overly critical when what you are doing is great! I could not find where the iphone cases were manufactured- are they made in the USA or China? In general I have noticed a lot of the vegan products listed are sadly made in China. I have nothing against China but we worry so much about the well being of animals sometimes that we forget there are people in China killing themselves on a daily basis in the factories that make our products. Their working conditions and lives are devastating. Here is the link to a great podcast: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/454/mr-daisey-and-the-apple-factory If you have anytime in your insanse schedule I would love for you and anyone else to check it out. While recycling clothes etc is always the best way to go it would be great if more people took the effort to try and buy and support things made in America so that we are supporting the USA along with showing larger companies that we don't want everything we own to be made by people in sweatshop type labor enviroments. Ok off my soap box!
