EcoSystems

I like to journal, and some of my favorite journals are from Ecosystem. I know I’ve mentioned Ecosystem Notebooks before and how much I like them...but in case you don’t know about them, here is some info:

These notebooks are cool for many reasons – every part of each notebook is made out of 100% post-consumer recycled paper, and they have instructions on their website for how to recycle your notebook when you are done using it. All ecosystem notebooks come from different areas around the US, and are purchased domestically to limit the ecological footprint of shipping and handling raw materials, which is pretty great. Each book also has a Book ID number located on the back pocket. If you go to their website, you can type in your Book ID and it will show you what your notebook is made out of, and what makes these ingredients better for the environment. So cool!

The people at Ecosystem have offered to give a bunch of notebooks to Kind Lifers. 5 (five) Kind Lifers will get their very own set of Ecosystem notebooks (pictured below).

The 5 winners will get:

  • 1 large Lagoon ruled Ecosystem notebook
  • 1 medium Grape ruled Ecosystem notebook
  • 1 small Watermelon ruled Ecosystem notebook

Notebooks

Here’s how to enter: 

  1. Go to your Twitter account
  2. Send out a tweet saying what you will use your Ecosystem notebook for
  3. Make sure to include the hashtag #ecosystemlife so we can find your tweets 

At the end of the day, we will pick 5 lucky Kind Lifers who have tweeted about what they will use their notebooks for, who will each receive a set of notebooks.

Good luck, and thank you Ecosystem!

Ok, so when I wrote all about my EcoTools bags and brushes back in November I thought that they were available for people to purchase all over the place, but I realized that they weren’t out everywhere. So this is my official release and announcement about my EcoTools line! You can now find them at Walgreens, Wal-Mart, online at walgreens.com and drugstore.com, and you can find more retailers at EcoTools Where to Buy. Here is the line:

-5 Piece Brush Set and Bag
-Overnight Bag
-Train Case
-Cosmetic Bag

I am super proud of these bags and brushes. What I’m most excited about is that in places where they are sold, like Walgreens or Wal-Mart, they will sit on the shelves right next to products that are not eco friendly, not good for the planet, and definitely not good for you... And right next to those not-so-great products will sit these bags; an eco, cruelty free option…yet just as beautiful! That really thrills me. 

All of the lining used in the bags is made from post-consumer recycled plastic. The material on the outside of the bags is natural hemp blend, the ink is plant-based, the handles of the brushes are made from bamboo, and the brushes themselves are cruelty free, and so soft and luxurious. I really feel good about them!

We are donating 1% of the annual sales of my bags/brushes to Wildlife Alliance, a charity that is very important to me. Wildlife Alliance’s mission is to protect and preserve wildlife and forests for future generations.

However, I don’t want you to run out and buy one of these bags if you don’t need one! The last thing I want anyone to do is buy something if you already have the same type of thing at home.  But, if you are in need of new makeup bags or some new makeup brushes, these are the way to go... And of course they make great gifts.

Anywho, EcoTools has decided to do a little giveaway for you Kind Lifers! They are giving away five of the 5 Piece Bag & Brush Sets! It comes with 5 makeup brushes, and the brushes sit in a nice little brush bag that’s lined with post-consumer recycled plastic so they don’t get dirty... And there’s a separate place to put the rest of your makeup.

Here’s what you have to do to get one of these bag/brush sets: Just comment today on this post! We will pick FIVE lucky Kind Lifers, at random. I will send all five of you a private message, to get your address so I can send you the bag!
 
Good luck... I hope you love the bags and brushes as much as I do!

Hey Kind Lifers - it was so much fun meeting Tara and Debbie last night... they are the Kind Lifers who won tickets to my show.  I will have more tickets to Time Stands Still, and will be giving out more soon!

Just a recap of how this works: Every time I have free tickets, I will tweet about it (follow me @aliciasilv).  I will say how many tickets I have, and the date and time of the show.  Once you see a tweet from me saying that I have some tickets for that night's show, send me a private message on The Kind Life.  The first person to send me a private message after I tweet will get tickets!

And just a reminder, please only try for the tickets if you live in NYC and would be able to make it to the show that night.

As you all probably know by now, I am currently living in New York while working on a play!  I am in the Broadway play Time Stands Still, and we just opened the theatre doors to the public! 

I want to give Kind Lifers who live in New York City the chance to see my play. Every once in a while, I will have some free tickets, and I’d love it if I could give these tickets to you guys! 

Here’s how it will work:  Every time I have free tickets, I will tweet about it (follow me @aliciasilv).  I will say how many tickets I have, and the date and time of the show.  Once you see a tweet from me saying that I have some free tickets for that night, send me a private message on The Kind Life.  The first person to send me a private message after I tweet will get tickets!



But please, only try for the tickets if you live in NYC, and would be able to make it to the show that night.  I don’t want any tickets to go to waste!

After reading The Kind Diet, it is probably pretty obvious that I LOVE Earth Balance products!! They are such an amazing vegan substitute for butter or margarine, and just make everything taste great.  

Whenever I find a recipe that calls for a butter substitute, I always use Earth Balance!  I’ve experimented with a lot of brands, and this one is my hands-down favorite!  You can get it in tubs or sticks... just like real butter.  It’s so versatile and you can get it at most supermarkets and health food stores.  

The people at Earth Balance heard about how much I love their products, and they were so kind and sent me a bunch of coupons for free packages of Earth Balance... and I’d like to give these coupons to Kind Lifers!  Each coupon is good for one free package of the following Earth Balance products; Natural Buttery Spread, Organic Spread, Buttery Sticks, Shortening Sticks, Soy Garden Natural Buttery Spread, or Natural Buttery Spread with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Here’s all you have to do: post a comment in the comments section below.  If you are one of the first 25 people to comment on this post, you get a coupon! I will send you a message tomorrow asking for your address, and then your coupon will be in the mail. It’s that easy!  I know that times are tight and every free tub of Earth Balance butter counts!

Thank you Earth Balance!
