Yoghund

If dog is a man’s best friend, than Yoghund is an orGLAMic man’s best friend’s friend.  This USDA-certified organic frozen yogurt treat is a fun and healthy way to keep orGLAMic pups happy.  In addition, the company goes eco by using 100% recycled boxes that are processed chlorine-free, while the yogurt cups are made of paper for increased safety (which is a good thing since I know a puggle (yes, you Rudy!) who would likely eat the cup as well!)  Available in Banana & Peanut Butter and Blueberry & Vanilla Bean, all you have to do is click here to find a North American store near you.

Veja

For a refined version of the sneaker, check out all the orGLAMic shoes made by Veja.  Designed in Paris, this company works with small Brazilian producers of organic cotton and wild rubber from the Brazilian Amazon to create a variety of hip, chic sneaks.  The Indigenos made of vegetable-tanned leather would be my choice for any orGLAMic man in my life, as I think they are youthful and refined at the same time.  I also love that could easily transition from work to play to a night on the town.  Click here to browse the entire orGLAMic collection and here to find a worldwide location near you.

TOMS

While TOMS made it’s mark in the footwear market several years ago with it’s unique signature style and social-good platform, it is the wide selection of hip designs combined with more recent organic options that makes them our pick for today’s Manly Monday post.  Made with certified pesticide-free cotton, the Grey Cousteau Organic Cotton Men’s Cordones shown above are just one of the many organic options available.  And, as you likely know by now, for each pair of TOMS shoes purchased the company donates another pair to a child in need.  Click here to purchase this exact pair, or here to browse the entire orGLAMic website.
