Brooklyn-based eco designer Kee Edwards brings us a creamy PURE line from Loup Charmant (Charming Wolf) conjuring up a breezy beach scene, southern-style — perhaps inspired by her very early summers along a lazy Georgia coastline.
I love the tie bikini, sarong and beach mat, all made from organic cotton. These eco fashions and more @ loupcharmant.com. Click here for contact/purchase info.
We recently received a great box of all natural odor fighting pet products from Fresh Wave. The fact that I share my space with a bunch of other ‘animals’ has often prompted the lady of the house to ask, “does my house stink and am I just immune to it?” Nobody seems to want to tell her the truth, but I’m thinking these Fresh Wave products will go a long way toward a solution.
On the odor fighting-front, Fresh Wave’s products seem to do more than just mask or cover pet stank with another smell, they actually neutralize odors – a key factor when a guy with a fur coat needs some quality time on the couch with the humans.
All the stuff seems to work well. The low maintenance crystals are great because you can just open the jar to eliminate pet odors. The Carpet Shake comes in handy when somebody has an accident…don’t look at me! Can’t wait to test the Shampoo’s claim that it works on skunk spray. Lastly, the Spray is a great alternative to the chemical smell of odor fighters like Fabreeze. Today’s nominee for most odiferous canine my big hairy Neufy sis, Madison.
Shampoo $13.99
Carpet Shake $14.00
Pet Spray $9.95
With health concerns surfacing over lead in our lipstick and gloss, I’ll be going unleaded not only at the gas station but also at the beauty counter. For those of us who would rather be safe than sorry … here are 3 lip balms to keep lips happy, and one shining example of clear gloss.
