orGLAMic - almost always organic, always glamorous!

I was lucky enough to be invited to the launch party for an awesome eco-lifestyle website www.ecostiletto.com last night.  One of the party’s sponsors was Veev, the very orGLAMic and tasty spirit.  Veev is the world’s first acai spirit.  Acai is thought to be one of the healthiest fruits on the planet and is loaded with vitamins C & E.  It also has 57% more antioxidants than pomegranates and 30 times more than red wine.  Veev, the company, is the only certified carbon-neutral spirits company in the world…so if you want to get drunk and still be orGLAMic click here!

Perch has a variety of ceramic offerings. From chandeliers to salt and pepper shakers, they are all examples of beautiful orGLAMic design. Hanging on a tree in the backyard, the birdfeeder pictured above is the perfect way to bring nature right outside your kitchen window. It is made out of low-fire ceramic, non-toxic glaze and hangs by a natural leather cord tanned with vegetable-based dyes. Click here to take a look at all the Brooklyn-based Perch products.

Dani’s ECO line has the most orGLAMic selection of soy wax candles and aromatic reed diffusers.  The candles are 100% biodegradable and toxin-free, so they won’t emit any toxins into your home.  In addition, the packaging is corn-based instead of plastic, and is biodegradable, compostable and easily turns into water, carbon dioxide and organic material.  Choose from the six essential oil blends, including clover, sandalwood, lemon, rose, red currant or fresh fir by clicking here.

With BBQ season heating up it is the perfect time to invest in Verterra dinnerware.  These plates, bowls, cups and platters are perfect for entertaining and are the most orglamic that I’ve come across.  Each piece is made from 100% renewable and compostable plant matter and water.  They literally collect fallen leaves, apply steam, heat and pressure, and transform the leaves into durable products that will naturally biodegrade in 2 months!  The dinnerware is chemical-free, non-toxic, sustainable, renewable, reusable, compostable and even microwave safe!  Click here to purchase one of my favorite items that I have posted on orGLAMic.

Most of you are probably familiar with SIGG aluminum water bottles.  Just like water bottles were a status symbol in the 90’s (remember Cindy Crawford and her Evian bottle?), carrying a reusable water bottle is the new orglamic way to go.  While there are hundreds of options out there, the new SIGG “I Am Not Plastic” one caught my eye.  A play on Anya Hindmarch’s ever so popular and orglamic “I Am Not A Plastic Bag” canvas shopper, it is made of aluminum and is 100% recyclable.  It also has an interior lining that’s effective against leaching and combats residue build-up, so your water always tastes like water and not like plastic chemicals!  Click here to check out the hundreds of differently designed, orglamic SIGG Water Bottles.

Our last orGLAMic offering for this Father’s Day is the organic remote pocket pillow.  Just because dad is a couch potato doesn’t mean he can’t lounge in style.  These orGLAMic pillows have a sleek little pocket for dad’s remote and are handmade out of hemp and organic cotton.  I love that they are so simple yet a little cheeky.  Click here to buy these pillows for dad.

Appeal to the softer side of dad with a large, luxurious, organic blanket by Yumi and Laurie.  These throws are made from 100% certified organic cotton and bamboo.  They come in a ton of beautiful colors and patterns, but my orGLAMic favorite is the rich orange pictured above.  Best of all, the bamboo makes them naturally antimicrobial and excellent for people that have allergies.  Check out the entire line of orGLAMic luxury by clicking here.

Red Flag Desgin is a Vancouver-based company with tons of great gift ideas for dad.  While all of their products are made from locally sourced materials, the AUM line (Alternate Use Material) uses discarded materials from our uber-consumer and disposable society.  Their first AUM line is made from reclaimed sailcloth.  I like the shopper, pictured above, for dads because it’s a nice change from all the frilly ones that have come out with the recent canvas bag movement, but there are also great items like duffel bags and toiletry kits that your father will love.  Check out the entire orGLAMicproduct line by clicking here.

While, I usually try to go straight to the source when displaying my latest orGLAMic offering, 3r Living is too wonderful of a resource to ignore.  The east-coast based home decor and lifestyle store dedicated to “future friendly products” has a fabulous online shop just a click away.  Among the items that are hand chosen with an eye for organic and fair-traded items was one of my favorites, the utterly orGLAMic Bamboo Sushi Gift Set.  For more orGLAMic items, browse their entire collection here.

With Memorial Day weekend quickly approaching, all week long orGLAMic is dedicated to giving you tips to make your outdoor celebrations eco-friendlier than ever this year!
