I’m featuring some groovy Valentine’s Day goodies in my OpenSky store right now, so I wanted to share them in case you’re on the hunt for the perfect eco-friendly V-day gift. Check it out:

Vegan Divas Treats

vegan treat

Just in time to give to your favorite Valentine, Vegan Divas is offering their tasty treats in a pretty tin. 

Order here.

Eco iPhone Cases 

I'm so excited about these little iPhone cases - it may sound silly, but I truly am. I was on the hunt for a super cute and ideally eco iPhone case, but I couldn’t find one until these showed up in my life. Yay! It feels good to touch, and it makes me so happyevery time I use my phone. So excited to share this find with you all….

These cases are made from up-cycled plastic (100% recycled and all post-consumer waste). Each one of these guys contains at least one recycled plastic bottle. How groovy is that?

Plus they say you can fit your credit card or cash into the back for quick errands. Another model has a little pop-out tripod for making movies and such. All of the iPhone cases are shipped to you in biodegradable packing peanuts and come in boxes made of recycled paper.

Oh, and did I mention they're cute? That, too.

Order here.

Sneak Peek…

Next week, I’m featuring Hair By Kiss Rosewater Foundation, which was created by celebrity hairstylist Martin Kiss. I don't normally use a ton of product in my hair, but this spritzer feels and smells nice ,probably because it's made from actual roses from Bulgaria. I also like that it's made from purified water, so it doesn’t feel heavy or stiff in your hair. The idea is to spray it in your hair eachmorning to lift up your roots and moisturize your hair. It’s also SAID TO BE good for people with thinning hair, as it promotes growth and thickness. It’s super low-maintenance and really smells great.

Follow me on OpenSky to be sure you receive notification about lots more eco + veg items to come!

What kind of gifts are you giving this Valentine’s Day? And what else would like to see featured in my OpenSky store? Let me know in the comments below.

EARTH SPECIFICATIONS

• Designed in Los Angeles, CA
• Materials from Mount Vernon, IN
• Manufactured in New Albany, IN

Check this out on You Tube:    Meat Glue, a " dirty little secret". It was sent to me as an e-mail.  I hope it can be tracked by it's title.

What is being done to our bodies in the interest of the almighty dollar.

To Elise: Looks interesting, will check it out, but probably not available north of the forty fifth parallel ( Canada ).

Your videos are always very nice, but it's not these who are going to give me a dose of sunshine, could you make even more efforts to look even less sympathetic and less sexy? Without being rude, I prefer the ones where you're cooking for thanksgiving, they're kind of depressing but seeing you playing with food add something... As for valentine day (or any other day) I spent an afternoon shopping for a gift a few months ago, I tought you had heard of it...

Also I'm really sorry if I'm rude sometimes, it's just that I tend to do things just for the fun of it and I don't know at all what effects it's going to have on peoples, so I'm cautious...

Regarding the video... I don't know who switched the camera angle, but the one on the side should have been a closer view of the iPhone case instead...

Alicia - can you please share info on the jacket you're wearing in this video?  It's adorable!

Elise- thanks for the information! I always get a huge kick out of getting the full package.  Made in USA, vegan, and earth friendly.  So awesome! 

swm013 - me too! it's so rare :) Stan Vincent - I think they ship everywhere - "Do you ship outside the U.S.? Heck yes! We ship anywhere on earth" - in case you are in the market for an iphone case :)

great deal on a home composter!
Posted by Alicia Silverstone on Jan 6, 2012


Today in my Open Sky store, I’m proud to feature a groovy home composter by Full Circle. I’ve also made a video of my own home composting system to show you how easy composting can be! It’s a little wobbly, but you can still see the compost and my husband, Christopher, showing how it works:


Christopher and I have been composting for about ten years – we love it! If you’d like to get started composting, the Full Circle Home Composter is a great option.

I’m featuring some super cute gifts at a great discount for all you kind ladies today and next week in my Open Sky store. I wanted to share in case you’re on the hunt for kind stocking stuffers or Hanukkah gifts for the groovy girls in your life.
 
Today on Open Sky

 
opensky
Hibiskiss Tinted Lip Balm from Crazy Rumors

Remember when you were a kid and you'd get fun little pots of flavored lipgloss in your Christmas stocking? Well think of this as the adult (and all-natural) version of that childhood treat.

These flavored Hibikiss lip balms smell like candy! They come in a rainbow of pretty pretty hues—from botanical extracts, not artificial colors. Made from natural ingredients like soy wax, jojoba oil, olive oil, and sheabutter, they're cruelty-free and great for keeping your lips moisturized all winter.

Next Friday on Open Sky
nail polish

Non-toxic Nail Polish by PRITI NYC

I'm not a huge nail polish wearer - I like to keep my nails looking clean and natural. When I do wear polish, I only use non-toxic brands and try to stick with natural colors.

PRITI NYC is super nontoxic and eco-friendly. Their pretty polishes are all completely non-toxic and made without toluene, dibutyl phthalate (DHB) and formaldehyde - all known carcinogenic ingredients. They're also fast drying, chip resistant, and are extremely durable and glossy. Plus they're completely safe for use on children and moms-to-be (the founder, Kim D’Amato, came up with the idea for a nontoxic nail polish line when she was pregnant and wanted a great manicure!).

I picked out a few colors I hope you'll like. I think this set will make a groovy gift for girlfriends--or for yourself!

introducing my new store!
Posted by Alicia Silverstone on Jun 10, 2011


Open Sky

I recently launched a store with Open Sky, where I’ll be sharing my favorite cruelty-free, eco-friendly products, from home and health, to beauty and baby.
 
I am very excited about this! When I began my kind journey, I definitely could have benefited from an experienced, kind shopper to suggest great green alternatives to the products we use everyday.
 
How It Works
 
To see my store and start shopping, just go to OpenSky.com/AliciaSilverstone. You can sign up with your email address or Facebook account. From there, you’ll get to see the products I’ve already selected, and you’ll be the first to know about upcoming sales!
 
I hope this is a super helpful resource for all of you. I can’t wait to hear what you think. So go to Open Sky, and then tell me what you’d like to see next in my store in the comments below!
