Family Style Camping

familycamping

Camping isn’t always easy with children.  Having the right gear and supplies make a world of difference.  When tent camping, make sure to have plenty of space.  Models with several rooms are a good choice.  The family tent shown here has a room large enough to set up a pack ‘n play for babies or toddlers to sleep in.  You can also use one of the “rooms” as a closet to keep your clothing and other gear organized and easily accessed.

Experience camping without the stress. When camping for the first time with little ones try to stay close home.   You’ll have the option of bailing if the weather turns bad or the kids decide they need their own bed.

Furla Venere Clutch

When it comes to trends and handbags, there needs to be a delicate balance. Sometimes, too many things going on at once is overwhelming. Bow and stud detailing have been very popular recently. However it is not very often that I’ve seen both incorporated into one bag. While bows seem to offer a soft feminine touch and studs bring that rocker vibe, Furla has done a great job mixing the two together. The Furla Venere Clutch is a fabulous way to show your feminine and rocker chick side all at once. Brass ruched patent leather is adorned with goldtone hardware and triple pyramid studding at the center on the front of the bag. Not only is this bag gorgeous, but it is also one that will transcend seasons!

Going Fair Trade: Screen Printed Wallet from Greenheart

My husband was very proud of himself when he came home with a 100% recycled product from Home Depot today. He’s on the ‘Green’ bandwagon and now I have something else to tell him about. Fair Trade. Fair Trade supports sustainable community development by ensuring that the artisans making the products are paid fair living wages.

Greenheart is an eco-fair trade non-profit shop, carrying both fair trade and eco friendly products including handbags, wallets, lotion, and cookbooks. Greenheart believes consumers have the power to affect positive World change by supporting sustainable and fair business practices in their purchasing choices.

What is Eco-Fair Trade? Greenheart follows the guiding principles of “Fair Trade”. “Eco” signifies that our products are made using the most sustainable materials and methods whenever possible. At Greenheart, we are both “Fair to producers, and good to the Earth”.

The product and giveaway featured here is Greenheart’s fair trade wallet measuring a practical 8.5″ x 5″ x 1″. The wallet has a three-side zip closure, four section accordion dividers, a zip coin pocket, and credit card slips and I found that there is plenty of left over room for my phone.

Want to know more about socially and environmentally friendly shopping? Check out this handy guide available at Greenheart.
