At Amazon!
I love to be able to hop online and miss crowds, trying to figure out what to do with my hot coat while indoors and all the rude people. THAT is not what Christmas is about! Plus shopping at Amazon usually I am able to find some great deals using their Gold Box Deals of the Day
Last year I bought a Tom Tom for someone, later found out someone else had to. I sold it on Ebay and actually made $50 ! that was how good of a price I got.
Did you know you can even buy Gift Cards at Amazon?
Watches, jewelry, laptops, and anything else you can imagine! I also love getting free shipping! SWEET!!
Have fun shopping!
Yes, I am an affiliate with Amazon. So of course I would love it if you used my links to make your purchases.

Use the links in this post, or the small Amazon Icon in the top right hand corner of my sidebar.
Olive Green Dog Review and Giveaway
Olive Green Dog is a veritable smorgasbord of doggy duds, tail-wagging treats and pooch paraphernalia. Olive is dedicated to bringing you the largest variety of healthful and environmentally friendly dog products the big ol’ internet has to offer. Many of Olive’s green goods are one of a kind—hip, modern and eco-friendly dog supplies. Now your discerning pooch can support sustainability without sacrificing style.
I bought Bayles and Bleu dog beds once. They NEVER slept on them. Bleu doesn’t sleep in bed, but Bayles does, so I figured for sure he would sleep in one of them. NOPE. He prefers to sleep under the bed. BUT i do plenty of pooches that love having a spot to call theirs. So look at these adorable, eco-friendly dog beds offered at Olive Green Dog.
Not to worry, your feline can have a place to rests its weary head too!
For those of you who like to dress your dogs, or have bitty babies that need sweaters, Olive Green Dog carries a huge assortment of dog rain coats, doggie sweaters, tees and hoodies. Too cute I might add!
The also carry eco-friendly dog collars! Some are made from sustainable bamboo and hemp!
They carry so much that I could just keep chatting about it all day! They did send me a few items to review for you here at Prissy Green. And I swear the dogs KNEW the package was for them when it arrived. Bleu always sits next to me when I open packages, he is my protector, so he has to sniff it all as I open it, to make sure mommy is safe. But this package was different. Both dogs were all over me! As soon as I opened it, I let them pick which organic dog treat they wanted first. They choose the My Oh My Pizza Pie! I swear they smell just like pizza!
I was sent, excuse me, Bayles and Bleu were sent the foursome pictures above. All organic dog treats. Olive Cookie Treat Cuatro (’[;4444444444878p9-/*- (how hilarious. Bayles just hopped over here, and laid on my laptop. She has NEVER done that before. That was what she had to say) includes all four popular organic cookie snacks–Nutty ‘Nanners, Little Berry Bites, Happy Apple Snaps, and My oh My Pizza Pie. Delicious, allergen-free– NO wheat, corn or soy– no artificial colors, no artificial flavors and no preservatives of any kind. Only 100% natural organic, lip-smacking dog treats lovingly baked in small batches to ensure the highest quality. Handmade in the USA.
I can’t tell you if they actually had a favorite. But I really liked the Nutty ‘Nanners. They are a little bit larger and takes the pups a little longer to crunch up and chew.
The other item this mom to furbabies is thrilled with is their Bubble and Squeak.

Regular use with Bubble and Squeak organic dog shampoo will keep your dog’s coat shiny, healthy, and squeaky clean!

Handbag Heaven Review and Giveaway
At one time I was majorly obsessed with purses. I would buy a new one almost every 2 months. Nothing truly expensive, but more then I ever should have paid. Now I tend to switch only twice a year… and that means buying a new bag twice a year!
Luckily there is a now a place called HandBag Heaven that has trendy, affordable and well made purses. I admit I was a little hesitant when I made my first purchase from them. A purse that could easily be priced at $100+ for only $40? Just how long is it going to last? I have the quality to be exceptional. And HandBag Heaven has a 30 day, no hassle return policy. Gotta love that!
At HandBag Heaven, Bag start as low as $15 but only go up to $75.
The first two bags I purchased, arrived in literally 1 day. But that is probably because they only about 5 minutes away from my house. I wonder if the package ever even made it to the UPS distribution center? When I opened the package, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of each bag. And the detail. Most of their bags have ample room and tons of pockets for stashing!
I am giving the one on the left to my sister in law for Christmas. And I already gave the one on the right to my mom for her birthday. I think it says a lot that I found the quality good enough to give them as gifts!
The bag that I have been using my self is ROOMY. I love it. Has a small zipper pouch on the outside, 3 on the inside. Out of the 3 on the inside, 2 zip, and one is attached to those and hangs open. They are all three together, see where the zipper on the inside is? There is a 2 pockets attached there, one is open, and then the outside of that pocket zips, giving you 3 pockets! There is also a small spot for my cell phone on the inside. It zip in the middle.
The lighting is hard to tell, but the bag is midnight blue. A completely gorgeous midnight blue.
All orders over $50 are shipped UPS FREE! And all orders placed by 2pm EST are shipped same day! Now has is that for speedy?
HandBag Heaven would like to offer up some bags to you readers! TWO readers will get their choice of handbag!
To enter, visit Handbag Heaven and tell me what bag you choose and whether it would be a gift or for yourself!

My Q & A with The Body Shop Blog

Filed under Info You Want to Know
Thanks to all of you! I won the Natural Beauty Blogger contest over at The Body Shop Blog!
I chatted with them and did a Q&A last week, and it was posted today. I would love for you to go check it out!

Crazy Dog T-Shirts Review and Giveaway
I am a t-shirt kinda girl. I love silly ones and ones that make me think. and I also like to give them! When Crazy Dogs T-shirts contacted me about doing a review for them, I was thrilled! So thrilled it took me more then 48hrs to pick a shirt! I kept changing my mind. That is partly their fault. They have a billion shirts to choose from and they carry women’s tees which is really important to me. I am not much for wearing a boxy t-shirt out of the house. So the girl cut t-shirts are my way to go!
This is the T-shirt I picked out. “This is how I roll”, and it is a rolling muffin. I am always joking around and saying, “that’s just how I roll” about really silly things, so it was just perfect! The small details on the bottom and front, small line details, also keep it from being just a regular ol shirt! It is really soft too! And if you do order a ladies tee, always order a size up form a normal shirt you would purchase. I wear a medium top, but in t-shirts, always a large. They are just are too snug on the ladies if you know what I mean!!
Some other cute shirts for the females:
And I don’t want to leave you guys out because they have a HUGE selection for men:
I know some of you played Oregon Trail in grade school right? And Conan O’Brien totally needs the Chuck Norris T-shirt!
Crazy Dog T-shirts would like to give one Prissy Green reader their choice of Tee!
To enter, go pick out a shirt not mentioned here and tell me which one and who it is for!

Homedics Restore
If you still purchase bottled water, I sincerely hope you have a really good excuse! There are so many ways around buying plastic land material filled with water!
We actually have a filter our our kitchen sink. Aqusana makes it and I love it! BUT we don’t have access to icy cold water and Craig will not drink it unless it is really cold. So he normally gets water from our fridge but the water filter on that is a piece of junk! I replaced it as soon as we moved in here, and with in 4-5 days it stated it needed replaced again.
So I was really happy when I was approached to do a review on the Homedics Restore!
The Restore Clean Water System utilizes UV Clean Technology purifies and removes: 99.9999 percent of bacteria, 99.99 percent of viruses and 99.95 percent of microbial cysts. The filtration system also reduces heavy metals, chlorine, industrial and agricultural pollutants. BPA free.
Features:
- System includes: 8 cup capacity pitcher with built in UV lamp, 1 replaceable filter and one adaptor
- Restore is California certified for microbiological water purification – a first for a major brand in an easy to use consumer product.
- Restore treats tap water so its both cost effective and eco friendly
BPA free - UV technology purifies and removes 99.9999% of bacteria, 99.99% of viruses and 99.95% of microbial cysts
It is really simple to use. Just fill with water. Give it time to drain through the filter and then switch the button to “Purify” and plug in. You only have to wait maybe 1 minute. And do yourself a favor, divert your eyes. The UV light is powerful!
The water tastes extremely clean and so nice having cold water.
It is also made really well. Everything is nice and thick, not like most filter pitchers I have used. This will stand the test of time, and frequent washings!
It looks like they retail for about $99.99 just about anywhere and the filters are a steal at $6.99.
Purchase at Amazon.com and Drugstore.com.
ftc disclosure: I did receive a sample pitcher for review. this did not have any bearing on my review good or bad. In fact I was asked to review it no matter whether I liked it or not.
Luckies!

Shop Whole Foods and Maggie Organics for the Holidays! Review and Giveaway
Last second shopping? Try your grocery store! 
Yep! Shop Whole Foods this holidays for green gifts! It might just be easier to park, easier to check out PLUS you will find the best eco-friendly finds!
Just one of the many eco-friendly & natural lines that Whole Foods carries is Maggie’s Organics. They specialize in organic cotton clothing and fair trade clothing.
Wholefoods and Maggie’s Organics sent me this gorgeous scarf to review. It is a little lighter in weight, which makes it a great accessory piece. It does perform at keeping me warm, but probably won’t be my go to when fridgid January weather comes around and leaves me with 13 degree highs! But for 30 degrees and up it is great!
Organic Cotton Scarf
I have the Plum colored Organic Cotton Scarf, on the far right. It really is gorgeous. The design is very subtle and adds fun flair with out being gaudy. Maggie’s extra long scarf is a soft, light weight ,100% Certified Organic Cotton Jersey and the print is made with water-based printing. ($13)
I also received these fun, colorful, Organic Cotton Socks from Maggie’s. I love color. I can’t deny that, and sometimes in the winter I have to get it color where wear I can! I look to my socks for color.
Organic Cotton Socks Crew Tri-pack
I have the Eggplant, Goldenrod and Teal, which is the very top left.
This socks are nice and thick, but not so thick my shoes don’t fit! Really cushioned and the top actually stays put, without cutting off my circulation! I realized a few years ago, that a sock is not a sock. I was dating a guy that only wore SmartWool and after wearing his socks one time, I now search out GOOD socks! 89% Certified Organic Cotton, 10% Nylon, 1% Spandex ($19)
Whole Foods also sent me a couple bars of ZUM! Soap to try out. Zum Soaps puts out special Holiday Flavors and the two I received are: Mint Peppermint and Mint Spearmint. These are Goat’s Milk Soap, which happens to be my very favorite! They are bursting with the minty scents and leave me nice and cool and completely refreshed. A really nice pick me up on sluggish days. And trust me, I have had a few of those lately! Only $6! And sold at Whole Foods and Online at Zum Soaps only!
Today I have a giveaway brought to us by Maggie’s Organics! Maggie’s would like to treat one Prissy Green reader to the set i received! The Organic Cotton Plum Scarf and the Organic Cotton Tri-pack of Crew Socks! I also happen to have an extra soap so the winner will also receive a Mint Peppermint Zum Soap from yours truly! This package is worth almost $40! If you win you can keep it or give it as a gift!
To enter, please visit Maggie’s Organics and tell me something besides the scarves and socks that you would like to find in your holiday gift goodies!
