Apericots Review and Giveaway (Organic Baby Clothes) (Closed)
I have 7 nieces and nephews and buying for them for the Holidays can about make me go broke. And me being the good auntie that I am, have to get them GOOD gifts. And to me good gifts=green gifts! So imagine how thrilled I was when I was contacted to do a review for Apericots! Organic Baby Clothing.
Many people understand the wisdom in choosing organic food, but why should we wear organic cotton clothing? Well, there are many good reasons:
Conventional cotton farming takes an enormous toll on the air, water, soil and people who live in cotton growing areas. In the United States, 1/3 Pound of agricultural chemicals are typically used in the production of a single cotton T-shirt. (www.organicconsumers.org)
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, seven of the top 15 pesticides used on U.S. cotton crops are potential or known human carcinogens.
Organic cotton is, like all other organic fibers, grown without the use of toxic chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Farmers that grow organic cotton use crop rotation as an alternative to agrochemicals and artificial fertilizers. Organic cotton baby clothes are also manufactured without the use of toxic chemicals. This means that, while in the manufacturing process, the clothes will not be subjected to dyes or bleaches, nor will they be sprayed with formaldehyde to preserve their “fresh look” before shipping.
During the conversion of conventional cotton into clothing, numerous toxic chemicals are added at each stage – harsh petroleum scours, softeners, brighteners, heavy metals, flame and soil retardants, ammonia and formaldehyde – to name just a few. A baby’s skin is more porous and thinner than an adults. That means that their skin absorbs things very easily. Children are at greater risk for pesticide-related health problems than adults.
Organic cotton has softer, longer fibers than conventional cotton, so the resulting fabric is softer, thicker, and more durable. Organic cotton is especially great for infants and children. Whereas pesticide and chemically-treated clothing traps heat and prevents skin from absorbing adequate moisture—often causing rashes and eczema on sensitive skin—organic cotton is natural and breathable.
Children with allergies particularly benefit, as organic cotton does not have the residual toxic residues that linger on conventional cotton. Even those without sensitive skin find organic cotton more comfortable and kid-friendly. (www.happygreenbee.com)
So now you know safety, precaution and the why’s so lets get to down to cuteness!
The only time little bums aren’t squeezably cute in these Bum Genius Cloth Diapers are when their stinky! Love all the colors!

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!

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!

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!

FaceFacts Review and Giveaway All Natural Lip Colors!
Natural Lipsticks and Lip Liners have somehow exuded my beauty arsenal for years. I basically went from lead filled awful lipsticks to only wearing lipbalm, or a balm with some color. Like Yes to Carrots and Kiss My Face Shimmers. The problem is that those shimmers come off pretty quick. Don’t have a lot of depth. Perfect for some occasions, but there are always times when I wanted to GLAM it up a little more.
And yes, today I am introducing you to FaceFacts. The brand that has brought me back to loving lipstick! Sincerely. All natural and even certified organic ingredients go into make their 100% natural Lipsticks and 100% Natural LipLiners. (the products themselves aren’t certified YET!) They have moisture for hours and color just as long.
* No Animal Testing * Recyclable Packaging * Contains Mineral Pigments * Parabens Free *
* No Mineral Oil * No Petrolatum * No Certified Dyes and Lakes * No Lead *
This line was created by Make-Up Artist Lori Hoffman, who saw the need to a luxury skin line, that was truly all natural. We do ingest lipstick so we need to make certain that what creates it; is nothing less then something we would not be afraid to eat!
LipFacts Lipstick is 100% Natural, color-rich, long wearing, ultra emollient formulation in shades ranging from natural beige and browns to vivid plum and burgundy. The creamy base conditions lips and provides a stay-put stain. Botanical ingredients provide nourishing moisturizers, smoothing waxes, non-greasy oils, and vitamins.
The White Stick contains a high brilliance and iridescence which customizes the other shades when applied beneath or on top. Gently scented with Ylang Ylang. (ooohh, now I have to try the White Stick!)
I was sent a couple colors to try, and they have been my go to lip products every since. I have the Berry Mauve and Plum Brandy. I have one in my bathroom and the other in my purse. I am not always an easy color with lip color, but no second guessing with FaceFacts colors seem to be universal- Any skin tone can wear them. Any hair color. Any eye color. Both colors light up my face and make me wonder why I didn’t go searching for natural lipstick before! I knew it was out there, but I guess I forgot how much I loved it!
I also have been playing around with FaceFacts LipFacts Lip Liner Pencils. Before applying our lipstick, use the pencil to outline and define your lip shape, as well as to prevent the lipstick from fading, bleeding, or feathering. Also use the pencil to fill-in the lips as a base coat before applying the lipstick for longer lasting coverage.
I have Plum and Wine. Wine is a little bit more dazzling and better suited for night out. Plum is m go to anytime color. Colors again set for any skin tone. so soft, they don’t tear at my lips even when they are dry. And these naturally derived color pencils are made from sustainably harvested California Cedar Wood.
**Don’t let that scare you about the Wine Pencil. I have a lot of color in my lips naturally, so everything goes on darker on me.
FaceFacts also has some new items coming out soon. A truly unique lip cream, healed my sick dry lips in one treatment AND a Lip Scrub!
These truly were the best beauty item to happen to me in a while. I missed lipstick and I didn’t even know it! I had become a gloss girl. A colored lip balm girl. No more! I am striking back with bold, healthy lips with a moisture and color!
And yes! THREE of you will be able to try FaceFacts LipFacts for yourselves for FREE!
The First Prize winner will receive: 3 Lip Sticks and 3 Lip Liners. Passion Fruit, Berry Mauve, Bronze Shimmer, Praline, Mocha and Wine. Plus some sample goodies! That pack is well worth over $120!!!
The TWO Runner-Up winners will each receive: a Berry Mauve Lip Stick and a Mocha Lip Pencil and of course some samples too! Two $40 prizes!
To enter please go to visit FaceFacts and tell me what color LipFacts LipStick and LipLiner you would most like to try!
I KNOW you can just look above, but Lori is sponsoring a very very generous giveaway for us here at Prissy Green, so I know you can take 1 minute out to open the page and go visit! =) If you really want to get a better idea of the colors, click on “buy now” and then click on the lipstick.

Athleta Clothing Review
I would like to think most of you know my style by now. I am pretty relaxed, I like khakis and color. I love fun shoes. I love tee’s and sweatshirts, and sweaters. I love longish skirts and dresses in the spring and summer. As a friend dubbed my long ago, I am a Prissy Hippie. But really as far as dressing goes, I am far far far from being Prissy. Yes I do like to look nice, but most days you will find me in yoga pants and a tee, and if chilly a fleece.
So one day I was browsing the interwebz. I love window shopping. So I come across Athleta. Immediately I fall in love lust. Yoga gear, great shoes, running attire. Clothing that can take you straight from the Yoga mat to cocktails with a friend. Plus with Athleta being in the Gap family, I knew it would be quality.
I was the extremely lucky recipient of a couple boxes of surprises from Athleta. Basically I gave them some sizes and they sent it out. Knowing that I loved every item on the site, and every item I had previewed in the Holiday look-book, I was going to be thrilled! And outfitted!
Take a look at these!
athleta Lodge Pant Several colors
These pants are made like jean, pockets in back and all. But are made from recycled polyester and spandex. Which means they are water wicking. My sloppy butt loves that! no stains! I have lounged in these pants, thanks to the spandex and I have also worn them out for couple dinners.
The Lodge Pant has a boot-cut fit with a flattering flat front, an extended tab zip/snap closure, internal waist adjustment, two front mesh-lined jean style pockets, one right leg zip pocket, two back patch pockets, and Athleta chi logo rivets.
Love these Velvet beauties too! Called Covara. Might make it to my Christmas List!
Velvet is at its best when broken in, so we weathered the fabric on this semi-fitted, jean style pant to make it feel like an old favorite the first time you put it on. The straight leg cut and seams down front and backs of legs offer a flattering fit. Two jean pockets at front, two hidden zip pockets at back, and one hidden front zip pocket at right.
The most used, so far, from the items I was sent is this gorgeous Cashmere mix sweater. The warm fall weather has helped me get more use out it! The Yama Sweater vest.
Because of the Olive Brown tone, I am able to pair this with so many color combinations. My favorite color is green, so as you can imagine, I LOVE IT! I am 5′8″ but a lot of my height is in my torso, so this rides me a little high, but not really that big of a deal. I just happen to built a little “off.”
I have never owned anything Cashmere. Now this isn’t 100% but the combo of Bamboo and Cashmere make it so silky soft!
- Rayon from bamboo, Tencel Lyocell, Acrylic, Nylon, Cashmere
- Imported.
- Hand wash.
On cool days that need a quick warm-up, this semi-fitted hoodie vest is made from our soft Bambooloo sweater knit to be a perfect core-warmer. With a V-neck and rib knit trim, the Yama Sweater Vest has a removable tie, a three-snap front, and kimono cap sleeves. Two front snap pockets stash money and ID.
Altheta has some really nice sporty jackets and coats too. They can be multi-purpose and be sporty, but some of these are nice enough to wear no matter what you are doing! I am drooling. Athleta does a fantastic job mixing colors, with out making women look gaudy and older then they are.
Another new favorite of mine, Eco-licious Half Zip.
Made from eco-licious- recycled Spandex and Polyester blend. And believe me when I say, it is LUXURY at its finest in athletic wear. It keeps me warm, allows for movement, plus there is literally no bulk if I need to layer up.
If you are style impaired or just need a little help putting outfits together, Athleta has a special section called, “Get Outfitted.” Let Athleta put your ensemble together for you, right down to your handbag and shoes!
Right now All orders over $50 Ship free!
Plus they are with Piperlime, Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic so they are always having shipping sales and deals for buying from multiple stores!
