Nothing says summertime like a good ol’ rocking chair. Why not glam up with an orGLAMic version by Eames this year? The iconic Molded Plastic Rockers, often known as RAR (rocking arnchair rod), come in a variety of colors including light blue, red orange, lime yellow and black. Originally manufactured in fiberglass-reinforced plastic when the design first came out in 1948, the updated orGLAMic version is made of ecologically-friendly molded polypropylene. The durability and timeless design assures that this rocker is around for the long haul – orGLAMic design at it’s finest. Click here to find this Eames rocker at Modernseed.
PS: This Eames rocker has been touted as a great glider for nursing mothers as well!

Let Fido go green with an orGLAMic Eco Bone by West Paw Design. Pictured above, the bone is made of a durable, strong fabric comprised of 85% reengineered, recycled IntelliLoft fibers surrounding a squeaker. IntelliLoft is clean, safe, re-engineered PET (polyethylene terephthalate) polymer material. By recycling existing PET polymer material West Paw Design reduces energy use, while at the same time keeps plastic bottles out of landfills. Creating products that use IntelliLoft™ recycled material can use up to 8 times less energy than it takes to manufacture the same material new.

Simplify your summer wardrobe by slipping on an orGLAMic dress by LTR Brands. Made out of 95%-100% sustainable materials, the company takes organic bamboo thread, weaves it to make fabric and uses organic dyes to add color. The fibers of the bamboo plant that are used to make the fabrics are naturally porous, so they absorb moisture and wick it away from the skin, keeping you cooler and drier than synthetics or cotton. Bamboo fabrics also retain their anti-fungal, anti-bacterial properties even after fifty plus washes. Click here to browse the entire orGLAMic collection, made in the company’s Los Angeles factory.

Hamadi hair care products are the perfect addition to an orGLAMic slew of beauty supplies. Other than the amazing slogan “tested on actresses, never on animals”, I love the fact that the line is biodegradable, made with 100% organic essential oils and plant extracts, and contains no artificial ingredients, colors or preservatives. The Lemon Mint Hair Wash, pictured below, smells absolutely devine and refreshing in this summertime heat, while it’s orGLAMic ingredients protect against chlorine discoloration and seal in existing color.
If you are in the Los Angeles area be sure to stop by The Green Life (one of my new favorite eco-shops in town) the evening of July 2nd where owner Scott is hosting LA Green Drinks. Not only is is a great way to meet other eco-minded people, but a stylist from Hamadi will be explaining the line as well as offering style consultations from 7:30pm-9:30pm. Click here to browse the entire orGLAMic line of products, and here to check The Green Life’s website.

Nothing says summertime like flip flops (although I have to admit as an Angeleno I wear them year round!) OrGLAMic FLOPS are an eco-alternative as they are made out of natural Brazilian rubber instead of synthetic rubber. The harvesting of biodegradable natural rubber occurs by harmlessly ‘tapping’ into the tree to remove a milky sap from the bark, which doesn’t affect the health of the tree. When it is time to recycle FLOPS just return the pair to the company and you will receive 10% off of a next pair! Of course, I posted the sleek, orGLAMic, black pair above – but FLOPS sandals come in 18 different color combinations ranging from cherry to anise. Click here to browse FLOPS and find a store near you.

My favorite display of going green is when it is melded beautifully with modern furniture. One of the tops in his game, designer Cliff Spencer, does this orGLAMic dance beautifully. He uses reclaimed wood and sustainable materials, and all of the products are finished using low-VOC and water-based finishes. I love the table and bench pictured above, which is made from wine-stained oak reclaimed from an old Napa winery. The Marina del Rey-based designer offers commissioned and custom made furniture, in both modern and traditional styles. Click here to check out the orGLAMic site and let your imagination run wild.
