Check out the sak’s new Vegan Line
VEGAN! I am so thrilled that the sak now offers vegan handbags. They have added this in addition to their eco-friendly line of durable beauties.
The Vegan line, called Freebird is made using only man made leather. The bags are unique, but no gaudy frills like some of the bags I see in the fashion world. Unique, eclectic and durable. That is what I like in a bag! The bags are completey affordable too. Priced from $48, and $55 with one bag being $62. i like that in a bag too!
Stay tuned, I will be featuring a few of their eco-friendly bags in the next week!
KORRES Quercetin & Oak Collection
Who says you need to pay a fortune to get dramatic anti-aging results? While many of this season’s anti-aging products can easily cost hundreds of dollars, KORRES, the Greek skincare brand, set out to prove that affordable can also equal effective. At just $52, the KORRES Quercetin & Oak Night Cream
delivers the same anti-aging benefits of high-end creams that range from $145 – $1,000 – at a fraction of the price!
KORRES’ Quercetin & Oak collection has been tested against the market’s top performing products, and is shown to decrease wrinkles and improve skin’s radiance, smoothness and elasticity more effectively than leading anti-aging formulas. This marks the first time that a natural anti-aging cream has achieved higher scores than the conventional super-creams – proving that there’s a healthy, affordable way to turn back the clock.
The Quercetin & Oak collection is the result of a five-year study on aging at a cellular level, which found that Oak-derived Quercetin naturally boosts cell regeneration to combat all signs of aging. The outcome of the Nobel Award-winning study has undergone high-scrutiny independent testing, confirming that the new patent-pending line really delivers when compared to existing, conventional formulas.
I personally haven’t had the opportunity to try anything from this collection just yet, but I do love KORRES. They are a brand I feel I can trust to deliver exactly what they promise. And being natural, inexpensive, and readily available, I want to share my love for the line with you!

My Very Own Store! It is Happening!
October 29, 2009 by Karissa
Filed under Info You Want to Know
so guess what? I am opening my very own Natural Beauty Store!
The store is not going to be here at Prissy Green, but I will definitely have links and ways to access it. I am bringing in all of my personal favorite products, so you know they have been tested and KG approved!
At first there is just going to be a few items on the e-shelves, but over the next couple months, I will keep that growing! I have partnered with The Open Sky Project, they are brand new, full of ideas, and ready to get this train out of the station!
This is part of my dream my passion. What I have always wanted to do! I never realized someone would contact me and offer to help me with it! So needless to say I am thrilled! And I have YOU to THANK! With out my readers, and loyal commenters, supporters I would not have this chance. That is not lost on me. I promise you that!
The store will focus on the customer. Good Old Fashion Customer Service! I want to know who my customers are, and I want to help them. There is also a fantastic return policy. If you aren’t happy, or satisfied, return it and you get a refund! Sweet huh?
I will have personally have reviewed each item. OR will have been close by while a close friend of family member was using it. Face it, I can’t try every face cream and potion! My skin would fall off! So I will be utilizing my army of females around me and some guys too!
And no mediocre products. I want what works. So if that means, a couple products from this company, and a couple from this one, and so on and so on, until every woman in America can find the perfect skin regimen, so be it!
Of course they will all be natural, and hopefully a lot will be Organic too!
Another great feature, is that I am not the only ShopKeeper. There are a dozen or more now, but they will keep adding more. And just like me, the products will have been personally tested and approved, by the shopkeeper. But each ShopKeeper has their own store. And their own products.
Head over, check it out!
If anyone has any questions, or product suggestions let me know! I will do my best to get what everyone wants and needs, and I hope to have such a fantastic store, and prices that it blows up! =)

Cooking4Canines Review
Well Amy Stevens is my new hero. She cooks for dogs, does yoga with dogs, and now sells cookbooks for dogs! You might remember when I first introduced you to Amy, when I reviewed the Yoga4Dogs DVD? Well she is back with another treat for the furbabies in our lives!
The Cooking4Canines Cookbook is available in an E-Book format for $9.99 with $1 donated to an animal wellness non-profit organization. And the published version will be available November 1, for $14.99. Just head over to Yoga4Dogs.com to check it out!
Cooking4Canines features 25 healthy, vet approved dog recipes including muffins, biscuits, yogurt, cookies and many others. The Cooking4Canines Cookbook also shares doggy cooking tips, the importance of bonding with pets, history behind the various recipes and more.
I am in awe over the recipes. Everything is healthy, you can purchase it at your local grocery store, and the recipes are really easy. You won’t be slaving over a hot stove for Fido! You will just be showing him how much you love him! And keeping him healthy!
Muttloaf, Stews, Ruffins, you name it it is here!
Just in case you weren’t a follower of Prissy Green back when I reviewed the DVD Yoga4Dogs, the DVD allows pet owners to practice yoga with their dogs in the convenience of their own homes. This is the only dog yoga DVD available anywhere. Getting healthy just got convenient, fun and pet-friendly! The DVD also shows viewers how to give a Happy Paws dog massage and includes sample recipes featured in the Cooking4Canines Cookbook.
I love doing it with Bleu. Baylie is too silly, Bleu needs Yoga bad! He is always so tense!
Thanks so much Amy for sending me the E-Book!
I love it and the dogs LOVE it. We have made the Blueberry Ruffins, Banana Berry Frozen Yogurt, and the Peanut Butter and Banana Pupsicles. I haven’t attempted to cook them “dinner” just yet!
But either way, they are always happy to see my take my laptop and set it on the kitchen counter. They know what that means now!
Make Your Own Hand Sanitizer
October 29, 2009 by Karissa
Filed under Recipes: Home, Skin, Food
Sanitizer can be a necessity, especially during this crazy flu season. Sometimes you are places where just after you wash your hands, you have to place them somewhere questionable. OR maybe you just can’t get to water?
Just don’t overuse them!
I like to have wipes around me too, Avalon Organics makes a nice baby wipe that is flushable and biodegradable. It won’t clean you hands of germs, but if you have dirt caked hands, you probably don’t want to rub sanitizer all over them. Wipe can be so invaluable to travel with. Wiping knobs, seats, arm rests, toys you name it!
Keep in mind, you don’t need alcohol to kill germs, essential oils can take care of that. That is why inhaling them can be so good for you while sick. Tea Tree over a hot steamy sink, helps you heal and breath!
So I have a pretty simple recipe for you today. Some of you may have all the ingredients in your house. I almost always do minus the witch hazel. I pretty much always have a bottle around. I have been making this for years! it is great for camping, which is why I first created it!
DIY Hand Sanitizer
Ingredients:
3/4 cup of aloe vera gel (NOT liquid, get the gel!)
1 teaspoon of oil (jojoba or grapeseed is perfect)
3 1/2 tablespoons of Witch Hazel (try and find pure, 100% witch hazel, if you can’t that is fine)
1 tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar
8 drops of Lemon Essential Oil
8 Drops of Orange Essential Oil
8 drops of Grapefruit Oil
10 drops tee tree oil
Make sure you don’t use metal bowls, and if you have a spoon around that is plastic, or plastic coated use that for mixing. Mix very well. place into a small travel shampoo bottle. Preferably one that doesn’t unscrew, but you can use to squirt just a little out in your palm.
And Congratulations! add a dollop to your hands, and rub thoroughly!
Make a few of these, and tuck in lunch boxes, cars, purses, backpacks, and anywhere you might find yourself with out soap and water!
Good luck and stay healthy!!
