Memorial Day celebrations aren’t complete without a little brewsky if you ask me.  How to be orGLAMic and have a blast?  Try to buy local, organic beer this summer!

Eel River Brewing Company is America’s first certified organic brewing company and with everything from stout to pale ale, there is something for everybody.  In addition to being organic, all the power used to brew the beer in is produced from mill leftovers such as wood chips, bark, scrap lumber and clippings.  And to top it off, their motto is “Be natural; drink naked.”  Genius! 

Leave a comment below and tell us what your drink of choice is going to be this Memorial Day weekend…

In celebration of Earth Day on April 22nd, Banana Republic is launching a 50-piece eco-friendly collection.  The collection, which launches April 8th,  is made of renewable or sustainable fabrics like bamboo and organic cotton, with prices ranging from $24 to $150.  In addition, from April 22nd to 27th Banana Republic will donate 1 percent of all in-store sales to Trust for Public Lands, a non-profit national land conservation organization.  (And don’t worry, the collection isn’t going to be as hippie dippie as the scarf pictured above - but images of the new line aren’t available yet).  Click here to shop Banana Republic.

I just discovered that the Foley + Corinna bag that I have been eyeing since it made it’s big-screen debut in The Devil Wears Prada comes in an eco-friendly version!  The Country Tote is made from recycled coffee bean sacks.  And don’t forget that burlap is biodegradable.  It may not be organic, but something must be said for not leaving a legacy of junk cluttering the earth behind us.  Okay, okay, I’m straying a bit from the organic side of orGLAMic, but you can’t tell me this isn’t glamorous.  The Foley + Corinna Country Tote, white linen pants, and me wandering through Mykonos?  orGLAMic for sure!  To buy this eco-friendly tote click here.

Forgive me for the housewares kick - it must be all the spring cleaning I’ve been doing lately!  I knew I couldnt be alone when desiring an orGLAMic lifestyle.  Anna Sova seems to be founded on the same principles that we are and are dedicated to bringing luxury organics to the consumer.  Look out for their no VOC (volatile organic compund) organic wall paints that are made with 99% food grade ingredients to be avaiable this summer.  No, I don’t anticipate that you will be licking your walls, but at least you will be inhaling something that isn’t toxic.  Revolutionary, huh? Until these Healthy Wall Finishes are available, browse Anna Sova to purchase the other fabulous bedding (pictured above) and luxury organics here.
