Why I Heart Sanuk: Best Customer Service Ever

So over the summer, I bought a pair of Sanuk sandals that I really fell in love with, The Rasta Nectar Sandal. Made out of recycled rubber, hemp, and coconut shells (as buttons), they were a great eco find. I wore them pretty much every day... until the buckle broke. I broke out the superglue, but it wouldn't hold. I was heartbroken.

Sanuk Rasta Nectar Sandal - $44.00

So about a month ago, I saw them laying in my room and decided to shoot Sanuk an e-mail. I told them what happened and asked if there was any way they could fix it or send me a new button. Turns out, they send me a brand new pair of sandals, free of charge. All they asked for was a picture of my broken sandal. How awesome is that? It just goes to show how much Sanuk cares about their customer service. I can't wait til summer so I can start wearing my favorite sandals again!






I feel like eco-friendly companies aim to please their customers way more than regular companies. What do you think? Have you ever had a similar experience? Always love to hear your feedback! :)

Holiday Wish List

Good morning everyone! This post is specifically dedicated to my wonderful boyfriend, Billy. He's been nagging me about what I want for Christmas, so I promised him I would blog a wish list for him. In the meantime, maybe you can snag a few ideas if you're stuck on what you want this year!



I know, I know... another zodiac necklace. But it's perfect! I like that it features the sign's constellation, not the symbol (Cancer's symbol looks like a 69... not the greatest) Plus it's made out of recycled metals which is so cool.

Super cute and made out of plant materials.

I need a new purse so bad, it's not even funny. I've had my eye on this Matt and Nat one for awhile. They line their bags with recycled plastic bottles and everything is vegan.

Love this color, it's my favorite. So simple and chic, it's hard to imagine that these are made out of plastic bags!

5. RMS Beauty "Un" Cover-Up in 11 and Lip2Cheek in Smile - $36.00 each
RMS Beauty makes some of the cleanest make-up you can find. I got samples of these from Spirit Beauty Lounge and was immediately hooked.

6. Intelligent Nutrients Leave-In Conditioner - $29.00
This is heaven for you hair in a bottle. Another sample that I got from Spirit Beauty Lounge and fell in love with. Gives me super soft locks without weighing down my super fine hair.

7. Blu Democracy Tie-Dye BF Sweatshirt - $68.00
Sustainable and sexy? Yes, please. I'm such a sucker for tie-dye :)




So there you go, honey! Hope this helped you out.
PS: Harry Potter movies are always a great gift, tehe ;)



So what about you guys? What are dying to have this holiday season?

Affordable Eco: Coats and Cover-ups

Good morning everyone! It's cold and rainy here in Jersey and I'm totally in the market for a new coat. I've been searching like crazy for a sustainable one that's cute and affordable, but it's been tough. Nothing frustrates me more than when I fall in love with one that's way out of my price range. Don't get me wrong, I love me some eco friendly high fashion    but I will never be able to afford a $400 coat. So for all you ladies who are on the same page, I picked out some really great cover-ups ranging from $29.99 to $138.00. Not bad, right?


Top left: Carve Designs Ocean Beach Jacket (made with organic cotton) - $29.99
Bottom left: Threads for Though Socorro Poncho (made with organic cotton) - $60.00
Middle: Indigenous Designs Weekender Cardigan (100% organic cotton, fair trade, low impact dyes) - $90.00
Top right: BTC Elements Earth Hoody Jacket (100% organic cotton, hand-made in USA) - $138.00
Bottom right: American Eagle Asymmetric Jacket (made with recycled wool) - $99.99


Bundle up and stay warm :)
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'm so thankful for each and every one of my readers    you guys are the best! Thanks so much for your support.

What I'm Loving: Zodiac Necklaces by Kris Nations

Anyone who knows me is fully aware that I'm an astrology freak. Luckily, most of my girlfriends are, too! So anything remotely related to the zodiac makes me super happy. And when it's eco-friendly? Like crazy, super happy. Needless to say, I was ecstatic to have come across these teardrop zodiac necklaces by Kris Nations.


Of course, I'm quite partial to the Cancer one... but they're all gorgeous! Handcrafted in San Francisco, these pieces are made out of recycled gold or silver, depending on which metal you choose. The best part is, they're totally affordable: $39.00 at BTC Elements! Nothing like an eco-friendly deal to make my day :)
