In searching for eco-minded summer essentials for the man of the house, I came across some fresh finds.
As temperatures rise this summer, hombre can relax in eco comfort with these Patagonia organic cotton boxers. Available in white, castaway blue or lemon zest/norris plaid. Lemon Zest hands-down, just for the name. ($25.60)
And the Northface Ex-girlfriend Sandal for not only the image it conjures up, but also the cork and recycled webbing construction. ($39.95)

Put your feet up or plop your keester down on this sturdy yet elegant, Joan step stool/bench. Hand cut joints and fastener-free hardwood construction make this a home furnishing fixture to last a lifetime. Lovingly named after a super mom (we have one by the same name, as well).
Bruce Marsh Designs makes every effort to use woods harvested from sustainably managed forests. Made with low VOC adhesives, water-based finishes and without stains.

A natural, eco-friendly, rinse-free sanitizer to the rescue.
According to manufacturer, CleanWell, this hand sanitizer is a 99.9% germ-killer that’s alcohol-free. I’ve used the pocket spray, made from a patented combo of White Tea infused with Aloe, and Ingenium, botanically sourced essential plant oils. With a refreshing smell and no trace of a sticky residue on my hands it gets a definite, green thumbs-up for delivering feel-clean-sensations. (L, above)
I’ve also tried their all-natural, anti-bacterial Ginger Bergamot hand wash, a lightweight foam that leaves hands feeling clean, moisturized and great-smelling. Try it and you’ll love it. (R, above)
Check out the Ingenium Starter Pack, $9.99 @ cleanwelltoday.com, or find look for them at Target and Whole Foods.
