If you are making a commitment to buy more organic and natural products, it’s time to check out what’s in your handbag. We bet it’s not quite as eco-friendly as your kitchen or the baby’s room. Here are a few of our favorite finds for an eco-friendly handbag.
Make-up palettes are perfect for purses, and the Smashbox Mother Earth Palette ($45) is made for green moms like you. The compact is made from sustainable materials and the go-with-everything eye shadows and blush are certified-organic. Even better, buy it and Trees for the Future will plant a tree.
You’ve made the choice to go green with your cosmetics, but where do you keep them? How about a Pouch made from Recycled Billboard Vinyl ($32). It’s lined in a contrasting fabric, waterproof and each is one-of-a-kind.
I bought a bunch of reusable shopping bags at the grocery store, but I always forget them in the car. Why? Because they don’t fit in my bag. Now I pop these S.H.O.P. Totes ($20) in my handbag and I’m good to go. The three bags can carry up to 20 pounds each and when I’m done, I roll them up and put them back in the carrying case. They’re available in a variety of colors and patterns and look so much better than those store bags. (Use the code b96d2c022c and get 10% off your order until April 30th.)
Got a naked iPod? Protect it with ReCOVER iPod Case ($24.99). It’s really light but also tough so it will protect from scratches and bumps. Made from recyclable materials, the case is available in silver, black, white and brown and is definitely user- and eco-friendly.
Save trips to the ladies room, paper towels and water with Miss Oops Rescue Sponge ($10 for a 2-pack). No need to wet your clothes, just briskly rub the dry sponge against the offending deodorant or powder marks and watch them disappear. The patent-pending sponge comes two to a pack, is reusable and safe to use on all fabrics. This lifesaver never leaves my purse.
