Cool find: Uashmama

I’m constantly on the hunt for interesting products and businesses. I like making things to give as hostess gifts, birthday presents, and other occasions, but often I need to throw something together quickly and need a little help to stay creative. My go-to gift item usually consists of a package of a few small things that each have a special meaning to the recipient- a favorite flower or wine, a card and a trinket, or even something I baked.

I recently came across a company that I love for so many reasons: Uashmama. Uashmama, pronounced “Wash Mama”, is one of my new favorite brands. The company, run by 4 sisters in Tuscany, Italy, hand-makes amazing paper bags that feel like leather, wash like fabric, and are completely malleable so you can use them for anything you can dream of. They come in 7 sizes (XS-XXL, and Giant) and are perfect for displaying around your home or for filling up with goodies to give as gifts like I’m planning on doing. They are beautiful AND sustainable! All of the bags are made from virgin paper fiber and responsibly harvested through cultivation (no deforestation!). Visit the Uashmama Website or find a stockiest near you and start falling in love. 

Keeki Pure & Simple

I meant to post this awhile ago and was reminded by a client who sent me this info from a healthy living expo she attended while visiting back home in Michigan.  

I, myself, stumbled across the cutest little product while looking at nail polishes in whole foods.  I was drawn by the fact that they are vegan, smell delicious, 100% biodegradable, and non-toxic.  

Ingredient Standards

No need to worry...

 

ALL Keeki Pure & Simple products are cruelty-free,  gluten-free, soy-free and acetone-free and made with only the safest ingredients!

The colors to choose from are very vibrant and fun.  I actually picked up a chap stick by them because the whole foods employee said the flavors literally taste like the actual product.  Remember creamsicles!?!?  Yup you bet, this taste just like the real deal.  All of their products are made just like the nail polish.  You don't have to worry about what you are putting on your body with the Keeki brand.

Check out their website for more products. 

I would absolutely love to try their sunscreen.  It is so hard to find one in which you don't have to worry about a laundry list of chemicals in the lotion. 

With this coupon, I am definitely going to try it out and you should check out their products.  I guarantee there is one that you will love.  It also looks like on their website right now that there is FREE SHIPPING on orders over $50.
