A Bag for all seasons

ooh I just received an email from Godiva that I am to receive a free environmentally friendly reusable tote pouch! (yes I do have a rewards card – what can I say I love chocolate but that’s another post) There are so many reuable totes out there. Are you using reusable totes? Here are a few favorites of mine.

The ChicoBag blossom collection  for the spring is like a breath of fresh air! I like the shoulder length straps and how it fits into a small pouch.

Ecobags has a great organic cotton reusable shopping bag. I like that it’s cotton and can fold easily.

Reuseit also has just about everything on their site.  Love the name of the reuseit workhorse shopping bag set. This set of 4 bags is the most compact and holds 120 plus pounds!

What’s in your bag?

I love how US weekly interviews celebs and shows what’s inside their pocketbooks. I have a ton of stuff in mine (as you can see) but now it’s nice and neat and easy to reach thanks to Jen Groover’s invention The Butler Bag. She created the world’s first compartmentalized bag.

What a great idea!  Each of your items fits into the different slots inside the bag so they are easy to reach. No more digging at the bottom of your purse for keys! Can you believe she thought of this idea by putting a dishwasher tray right in her purse? I just made over the contents of my purse and here are my must have items to keep in my handbag:

My wallet, keys and iphone of course!

My favorite lip balm and lip gloss by Tarte and Alba coconut cream lip gloss

Mini first aid kit with Neosporin

CleanWell hand sanitizer and wet ones hand wipes

Nail file and mini hair brush/comb

Pen and notebook

Listerine breath strips and when my kids don’t swipe it – GUM

My all time favorite hand cream Arbonne FC5 ultra-hydrating hand cream

Itchy, Itchy, Scratchy, Scratchy. Ugh Dry Skin

It’s that time of the year and the cycle continues - Itchy, scratchy dry winter skin.  Some moisturizers are too perfumy, too oily, or contain ingredients you cannot pronounce. Who wants that? In my never ending quest to use more natural products I am glad I got to test out the Kiss my Face moisturizer and their new sudz line shower gel. 

C’s the day moisturizer is made with certified organic oils and herbs and Ester-C and does not contain parabens, phthalates or synthetic colors or fragrances. The Honeysuckle Tangerine has natural oils of tangerine, honeysuckle, almond  and clove oil for a yummy spring like fragrance. The grapefruit and lemongrass sudz shower gel is refreshing, lathers nicely and again has no parabens or phthalates, no animal ingredients and is not tested on animals. They have everything from lip balm to hair care and a great kids line too.  You can find Kiss my Face at your local whole foods or https://www.kissmyface.com

How do you handle dry winter skin? Comment below on the post and subscribe to our newsletter or send an email to info@trendymommies.com and we’ll choose a winner and post by Monday Jan. 31st! Good luck!

THINK

Let’s think about the products we use. Whether it’s the items we store our kids’ food in or what products we put on our skin, each can have potentially harmful ingredients in them.

One company was thinking when they created their line of products. https://thinkbabybottles.com

The company has everything from baby bottles, baby storage items, yoga mats, sunscreen and water bottles. All of their products are safe and made with Non-toxic materials – Free from Bisphenol-A (BPA), Lead, Cadmium, PVC, and Phthalates.

I love the  thinksportâ„¢ bottles as they provide a safer option!  I like how they are double-walled, vacuum sealed stainless steel – no more water bottle sweating – or a ring around your nightside table.  It also comes with an internal screen to reduce the chance of blockage created by ice. I love cold water and it certainly stays cold, even overnight.

The company has even researched yoga mats and how they are made.  thinksportâ„¢ Safe Mat is free of Bisphenol-A (BPA), PVC, Lead, Phthalates, Dioxins, and biologically toxic chemicals – would you want to breath in any of those while exercising?  The safe mat is More than 50% thicker than basic mats and it provides better support.  Finally and thank goodness there is no strong odor which means no PVC off-gassing!

I also like the soup/cereal bowl and bento box. My little ones love when I fill these stainless steel bowls with salads and snacks.  So THINK the next time you reach for a plastic bowl, cup or storage container as there are safer options for you and your family.
