Jewelry and Accessories Handcrafted by southern artisans

I met my friend Blake ions ago at this point. and just met his girlfriend Allison this past summer.  Instant likability!  Plus she makes jewelry, and what isn’t to there to like when someone makes one of my obsessions!  ::wink wink.

She was selling her beautiful wares as a vendor at huge convention in Louisville when we met.  And since they are from Alabama, that tells you how gorgeous her treasures are.  And when I laid eyes on them, I said, “you have to give me your info so I can review this on Prissy Green!”

So not a lot of talk, just a lot of photos!  and you can find a place to purchase at  ArtWare on Etsy.

GreenSmart and Act2 Laptop Sleeve Review and Giveaway

September 11, 2009 by Karissa  
Filed under Giveaways

greensmartThis world always amazes me in the solutions people come up with to disastrous problems we create. Take for instance the bottles to bags that GreenSmart created. Gorgeous, and durable and not just a gimmick. My review will come in a moment, but first a little site review!

GreenSmart’s website is a fairly good resource for information on the process of recycling plastic bottles into fabrics (and other products for that matter). There is an easy-to-follow section about the process of creating rPET fabric particularly as it relates to the fabric they are using, and they also have an informative glossary of sustainable sourcing/manufacturing terms and useful information.

A Few Key Points From GreenSmart’s Website:

  • PET/PETE is Polyethylene terephthalate – recycle symbol #1
  • 230 bottles per person go to landfill per year (this adds up folks, according to this site they quantify it by giving us the stat that it is equivalent to filling up the Rose Bowl Stadium in California with crushed plastic bottles every two weeks!)
  • These bottles are an environmental disaster – petroleum-based plastic that does NOT decompose
  • Same chemical composition as polyester – so, same benefits that polyester offers, but from recycled source
  • Each yard of finished fabric uses about 18—16 oz. bottles and saved 10,000 BTUs from manufacturing—enough power to light a 17 watt compact fluorescent light for 15 hours

GreenSmart’s Bottles 2 Bags are made from certified 100% post-consumer PET water and soda bottles

The GreenSmart website also has some stats on the homepage regarding the global benefits of their products based:

16 oz. PET Bottles Consumed – 431,211
BTUs Saved – 288 million (equivalent power in laptop hours – 3.3 million)

872697.500I was sent two Laptop Sleeves.  The Bottles 2 Bags was my first and only choice, but they were sold out of my size.  boowhoo. And for good reason!  they are awesome!  They went ahead and insisted they send me a larger one, so I could at least get a feel for it.  They are thick, cushy, and green smart! My bag is is Storm Blue in color, and really very pretty. It also only weighs 7 ounces!  I have a nice laptop bag that I won last year, and it doesn’t quite match, but it does fit pretty nicely in there.  It still doesn’t fit my computer, but what I have been doing it putting my computer in the NeoGreene sleeve then in the Bottles to Bags, and then in my laptop bag.  I know it sounds like a lot of work, but trust me I don’t leave often!  You can buy Bottles to Bags on Amazon but check the pricing, seems like the blue ones are  more expensive, and the black ones are cheaper, but they have some from other sellers.

51tSKhuVoOL._SS400_

I really dig my NeoGreene Sleevetoo.  It fits my computer so well, like a glove really.  My only true complaint? It attracts dog hair!  I swear what little amount of white hair Bleu has, is magnetically attracted to this sleeve!
This sleeve has 4mm walls for optimal protection and minimum weight. It also has a specially designed gusset and mesh interior to breath for your laptop. Ever think about putting your hot laptop in an insulated sleeve? Now your laptop will cool down that much faster. That is so beyond awesome! The NeoGreene Sleeveis waterproof, too, so if you spill on the outside, no problem. Easy to grab zipper pulls (2, by the way) round out the thoughtfulness. This is no ordinary sleeve. So much thought was put into this! It is also formaldehyde free, no VOC’s, lead, poisons etc etc etc. Prices range from $25-$40. Make sure you measure your computer too, it has a little give but not a lot!

So what I am really falling in love with now is this, baby.

GreenSmart Laptop Jacket

GreenSmart Laptop Jacket

You can actually work on the computer and protect it at the same time!  Maybe I am crazy but I didn’t know such a thing existed!  I am always moving around, kitchen, bedroom, office, living room, while working, that would be so great!  It has pockets, extra space, and a shoulder strap that is removable!  And only priced at $45-55 depending on size.  Loving it. GreenSmart Laptop Jacketcome home to mama!

GreenSmart has other bags, like a brief, and even a water tote that comes with a stainless steel water bottle. the tote is insulated, and keeps water nice and cool.

GreenSmart is giving away 1- NeoGreene Laptop Sleeve, and 1- Bottles 2 Bags Laptop Sleeve! SWEET!!!  Winner’s choice of size of course!

To Enter, go to the GreenSmart site, and look at the Glossary, and come back here and tell me one of the definitions or upsides. (i don’t really want to hear the balancing act side, lol)  FYI, you don’t have to type the whole thing, just the gist of it!

Peter Gillham Natural Vitality

(going to apologize now for typos, I scratched my cornea two days ago, and for some reason my eyes are worse today, my apologies!)
Organic Life Vitamins is an energy-packed multi-nutrient–better than a multi-vitamin. Organic Life Vitamins is a liquid revolution in daily nutrition! It’s a convenient, great-tasting and economical way to get the premium nutrition your body needs every day.

No matter how good the vitamins or mineral supplements are that you start with, they are only as good as they are bioavailable and assimilated into the body. Supplements must be absorbed and and be available at the proper area in order to be of use. All pills and capsules have to dissolve into liquid form before they can be absorbed and assimilated. Some people with weaker digestive systems (and digestive ability often weakens with age) don’t fully break these down and the result is only partial or no absorption, so the pill or capsule doesn’t do much, if any, good.

Have you ever read about people being autopsied and the coroners finding years worth of vitamins in their systems?  Gross!

41bmlw99TkL._SS500_At Natural Vitality we begin with liquid. There is nothing to break down. The nutrients are naturally engineered for bioavailability. For those who have trouble taking pills and capsules, a liquid avoids this problem altogether. You also get fast action, as you don’t have to wait for supplements to be digested.

Organic Life Vitamins includes Natural Vitality’s Veggie Antioxidant Blend with broccoli, broccoli sprouts, tomato, carrot, spinach, kale, onion and brussels sprouts. It also contains Natural Vitality’s Super Fruit and Berry Antioxidant Blend with organic noni, açaí, goji, mangosteen, organic pomegranate, aronia berry, grape, grapeseed, wild blueberry, raspberry, raspberry seed, cranberry, prune, tart cherry, wild bilberry and strawberry.

This top-of-the-line aloe vera is guaranteed to retain biological activity. Aloe is a source of more than 200 beneficial active compounds, providing, among other things, a food-based organic source of naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes.

Organic Life Vitamins provides a range of key vitamins including A, B vitamins, C, D and E.

Organic Life Vitamins features a top-quality full spectrum of important ionic (having molecular charge that allows the element to easily bond with water) trace minerals in a low-sodium formulation, many times more powerful than other liquid trace minerals. Trace minerals help assimilate vitamins and have a host of other benefits, from increased energy and vitality to supporting circulatory health, bones and joints and providing nourishment for hair and skin.

An exciting plus that comes as part of Organic Life Vitamins is the incorporation of the Natural Vitality Amino Acids Blend. Amino acids are known as the “building blocks” of the body.

Also with Chromax, MSM and Selenium!  and best part?  all you need is just 1 oz!  It is liquid, you can mix it with your fruit juice, your smoothie in the morning whatever you like!

Now I have to admit, I din’t find it an super tasty drink, I mean I couldn’t sit down a drink a glass or anything, but it is fruity.  It is just those B vitamins that have that vitamin-y taste and smell. BUT to be able to take a shot of this a day, is not hard to do at all!  My problem with vitamins has always been, that to get the proper RDA of what you really should get, you need to take 3 pretty good size tablets. Well I always want to split them up, and take at least one at a different time then 2.  But they are so smelly! So them by the time I should take it, I can’t I am so grossed out by the smell, I just can’t!

This Vitamin drink gets a solid A+ in my book. Easy, and they even carry this in easy to go packets, so you can carry in your purse, or take to work. Not really a very green item, but if you know someones sick, or you are, that would be a great idea!  Here is the label!

Peter Gillham and Natural Vitality have all sorts of other well respected products.  Natural Calm, which is calcium and magnesiumCalcium seems to be what tenses you and magnesium seems to be what relaxes you. Plus Nutra Rev and natural energizer, Natural Calm and Stress Support, even a kids calm.  When I poked around, it seemed even though online vitamin stores had “50%” off sales, Amazon had the best deals on Natural Vitality, but if someone finds it cheaper, please let the other readers know!
So the kind people at Natures Vitality has given me the chance to give to give away 2 full 30 oz bottles of the Organic Life Vitamins!

That is a 30 day supply! They have also given me 6 sample packets to let 6 others try it out! I am not sure how many trials you will get out the samples, but I am sure there more then a days worth!

So to enter, tell me, simply, do take a multi-vitamin? what do you take? If not, why not?

IMG_1167 PR Bohemian Blue Organic Body Lotion and Body Wash Smell Incredible! I was only sent sample sizes to test, and although it isn’t usually my policy to review samples, I have to say, I was happy I agreed, but sad when they were gone! I also have to apologize, my schedule was so backed up that I tried them twice and they were gone and that was at least 6-8 weeks ago, so the scent is a little foggybut I seem to remember a slight bit of patchuli maybe and possibly blue chamomile? I could be a little off as they don’t tell you what is in them.But I do KNOW that I loved the scent.   They leaked in route to me, so I didn’t get quite the intended amount. :-( The Bohemian Blue Organic lotion is super anti-oxidant rich and combines certified organic botanicals with proven age defying elements to provide real results as it pampers the skin. Great light weight moisturizer,m and was perfect for the summer time! Scent and all! The Bohemian Blue Body Wash is nice and silky to the touch, has a great sudsy lather. Created with moisturizing coconut!

KORRES Cosmetics Green Glamour Review and Giveaway

September 10, 2009 by Karissa  
Filed under Giveaways

Before I start this I want to remind you that there is a coupon for Prissy Green readers at KORRESusa.com for a huge 30% off, that doesn’t end until the end of this month! the code is PRISSY, so go get it while you still can!

I really don’t even know where to begin today with this review and giveaway.  I am not sure that I have every sent a line of cosmetics that I enjoyed as much as this.  and i am really not fluffing.  and I have the pics to prove it!

ACT2 025Sorry about the bright sun shining in, it was a self portrait.  See how flawless my make up looks? I was so impressed!  This was the first application.  and this was the Tuesday, or Monday after my Blue Hair Incident.

This is all the make up that was used in the “Green Glamour” makeover.  You can see the full listing of steps and application process, and pricing at the Green Glamour look.

finishing touch of lip gloss

finishing touch of lip gloss

Going Green need not be boring or basic. This beautiful bold look shows off the richest colors from nature, all packed with healthy natural ingredients for skincare benefits and better product performance. The active natural extracts used in these color formulas ensure enhanced product performance, bringing you clinically proven, advanced skincare benefits, while also avoiding harmful synthetic compounds, to ensure maximum skin compatibility and environmentally- conscious products. All eyes will be on you with show- stopping smoky green/gold eyes. Lips and cheeks share a pop of color while allowing the eyes to remain the focus of this look.

The colors would be stunning on anyone, the Blush is a  true blushing peach/rose, and the eyes, are a flecked gold, and glittering olive green.  the eye pencil is soft, and sparkling gold.  Lips are a light, not too bright pink, and mascara is a rich shiny black. I admit, I was doubtful that the eye pencil would last, it is so soft, but it is so highly pigmented that it did.  I do have my doubts about it lasting on a really hot and humid day though.  I think it is one for a night out, not for a day at the beach! =)

product-4484-largeAnd the Make-Up Primer, oh the  Primer!  Might be my favorite, I don’t think I could pick one, but this stuff totally rocks my face off, and my socks.  It is silicone free, and softened with jojoba oil, but not too slick.  Lets the foundation glide on, but stay put.  In a word, marvelous. Marvelous dahling, simply marvelous. Seems to mask ever flaw on my skin, no noticeable pore to be seen, not a wrinkle in site!

product-4497-largeThe Wild Rose Foundation, I think would match just about any skin tone as well. It seems to be one of the universal colors, like a neutral, cause believe me ladies, I am not an easy match.  And it matches me, seemingly flawlessly.  It has a great coverage, neither too light nor to heavy, if I need more I can add more, I simply shake, and apply with my fingers. It is also a treatment to help fight hyperpigmentation, and is an SPF of 20!

The Wild Rose Concealer is a brightening concealer, so too light for blemishes, but just for for around the nose, and perfect for covering dark circles under the eyes, and trust that I have those!  It has great coverage, and it nice and creamy, and dries and stays around all day a huge plus!  I am actually going to order it a step up in the next color.

KORRES042

KORRES products feel so soft and gentle on my skin. Nothing felt scary, or harsh.  No ingredients that I could not pronounce.  Plus everything has an added benefit.  Every color cosmetic having a treatment value is such a major bonus, plus they are priced so fairly.  Nowadays you can go to Target and spend $40 on a mascara, and that to me is just ridiculous.  You can’t return it.  You certainly dont get to try it, or sample it.

At KORRES they have all natural treatment products for each individual skin type type, from extremely oily to extremely dry and everything in between. Plus all of their skin care and cosmetic products are packed with active natural ingredients that offer maximum skin compatibility and targeted skincare benefits!

and you can save 30% right now at KORRES! Their prices are already very reasonable! Just enter the code PRISSY at checkout! Use this code until the end of the month!**** PLUS tonight only if you spend $25 BEFORE this discount you get FREE shipping! 9/10 only!!! and you get 3 free samples for a limited time as well!  told ya I was going to buy that concealer!***

Full Cauldron: The 21-Day Consciousness Cleanse

The 21-Day Consciousness Cleanse

Now, in her most practical and prescriptive book to date, bestselling author Debbie Ford delivers a three-part process that empowers us to let go of toxic thoughts and destructive behaviors and discover the deep peace that resides within. The first 7 days are a life-changing release of everything from the past that depletes our vitality and holds us back. When we purge these old emotions—like hardened grief, bitter resentments, deadening regrets, and outdated beliefs—we begin to feel a new passion for life. During the next 7 days, standing in the present, Ford has us take an honest look at where—and who—we are today. We’ll observe everything and notice what is and what is not working. Standing firmly inside the present moment, we realize our own strength and the ability to respond to the calling of our soul. The final week brings the most exhilarating transformation as we look into the future and discover who we want to be from this day forward.

“If you are seriously considering the 21-Day Consciousness Cleanse it is because, more than likely, you know there is far more for you than you are experiencing right now. You want more and you know you deserve more.” —Debbie Ford

The 21-Day Consciousness Cleanse carries us on an incredible personal journey that will open our eyes to all that we are and all that we desire to be. We transform our consciousness and unlock purpose, meaning, and passion in our life.
