Pixie Mood

These cruelty-free, vegan leather purses are not only ADORABLE, but they’re well-made using eco-friendly practices like carbon offsetting with Terrapass. The texture is SO soft, too.

I have these two purses below. LOVE THEM.

Terrapass

Terrapass is a company that funds important environmental projects through carbon offsets that other businesses and individuals can purchase. It’s a way to reduce our carbon footprints and contribute to some major earth-friendly endeavors. Carbon offsets make great gifts!

I write all about Terrapass here.

Starfish Project

One day, when I was kind of daydreaming off into la-la land, I decided I was going to see what jewelry companies are out there that also have a mission of helping others. (I do have a bit of a jewelry obsession that probably started with my ’80s bangles and Mr. T jewelry like these vintage sets on Ebay!)

I just did an internet search and found a few sparklers that immediately caught my eye.

This is a Starfish Project photo of a floral necklace, ring, and earrings.

One was Starfish Project.

If you want to totally shop my favorites, totally shop Starfish Project.

I adore Starfish Project. This organization was created to help women and one way that they do this is by making the cutest jewelry!

They’re top-of-mind when I think of what to gift to my girls. I think another thing I love about this brand is that their customer service is friendly and helpful. I once had a question about my order and they responded immediately and graciously.

Please check out Starfish Project for yourself. I think you’ll be pleased!

The Unemployed Philosophers Guild

For quirky, unusual gifts that literary enthusiasts love, I go to The Unemployed Philosophers Guild. I have this Jane Austen mug and it’s one of my favorites.

I’ve been drinking out of it for at least five or six years and it’s the perfect size for morning coffee AND washes well in the dishwasher.

If you’re a major Jane Austen or Brit lit buff, they have other sundry awesomeness you should check out!

Immaculate Vegan

This vegan clothing brand offers chic, modern styles, including accessories like purses made from Apple Leather and Olive Leather. They have some really snazzy shoes and boots, too! (Please don’t judge them just because I just said “snazzy.”)

Noxgear

I’ve been using the LightHound LED dog harness for years and I LOVE IT. This glow-in-the-dark harness comes with tons of light settings that change colors or stay on the color you and your fur child prefer!

I charge mine through my computer USB extension and the charge lasts a long time.

It’s also machine washable!

JewelScent

These are not only wonderfully scented candles, but they come with…JEWELRY! Inside each candle is a ring or another type of jewelry that’s revealed once the candle is burned about a third of the way down. The surprise is like Christmas every time!

JewelScent jewelry is pretty and comes with a code to check the appraised value online. You never know–your ring might be worth big or big-ish bucks! Every ring I’ve gotten is nice quality and none of them have tarnished over the years.

You can also pick your ring size at checkout. These are such great gifts for anyone–especially YOU!

As always, be very careful when burning candles and don’t leave them unattended, lovely.

Trees: the original shadies! Today, on World Envir Trees: the original shadies! Today, on World Environment Day, I hope one of your favorite trees comes to mind. What does it look like? Is it a big, shady oak or a magnolia bursting with flowers? Is it from your childhood or the park down the street?

I’ve always been obsessed with trees and am typically taking pics of them like an overly eager tourist. It never gets old to me. (Maybe for people around me, but not me!)

Trees are so important for our planet, from the air we breathe to the homes they provide for our furry and feathery friends. 🐿️🦉I just love them! 🩷

Thanks, trees, for your shade, protection, and beauty! 🌲🌴🌳

Good things can come from rain even though it migh Good things can come from rain even though it might make us somewhat soggy for a while☔️

When I worked at a bank out of college, one of my fellow coworker friends told me I wasn’t soggy, meaning I was always smiling and chipper (annoying 21-year-old, that was me!) compared to our soggy workmate (who had lived a bit longer than we had and deserved the soggy status). 

Now that I’m older, I can get A LOT soggier, but I also know flowers still grow even in the toughest of times. Which is sunshine for my soul☀️🏖️🌈🦄🦋

Hope you feel loved today whatever life forecasts. Because you’re worth all the sunny days🩷🌈☀️

Is nature teaching you, too? Hope you can get outside today and see something good in yourself that others already see.
