Manly Mondays is in for a treat with Collection PAS. C-PAS is the most orGLAMic menswear line that I have come across. While the Spring ‘10 Collection has already been released, the Fall ‘09 Collection does the trick at the moment. All of the well-designed duds are made of natural, recycled and sustainable materials and are classic yet hip at the same time. The Fall ‘09 Collection includes items are made from organic cotton, organic denim, and even re-used wool blankets. And, if you are in NY, you can also go in for a custom suit (and bring in old t’s to be a part of the suit lining!) Click here to browse the orGLAMic website.

This revolutionary company is transforming the way America lives, one orGLAMic PeopleTowel at a time. A chic throwback to the more eco-friendly days of handkerchiefs (and the way the Japanese have been living forever!), these 100% cotton, reusable personal towels are the wave of the future. Instead of using paper towels throughout the day, it is a cinch to carry one of these well-designed towels along for the ride. Actually, for each person that uses a PeopleTowel for a year, landfill waste is reduced by 23 lbs. and 250 gallons of water is conserved. And if you hurry up and order a PeopleTowel before 11/30, you will receive a free EcoSak to carry your towel in! Click here to purchase the ultimate orGLAMic stocking stuffer.
And soon, you too can get in on the revolution, with the first ever People Towels’ Design Contest! Yours truly (orGLAMic!) has been asked to be one of the judges on the panel, helping select the newest design to be printed on the next set of PeopleTowels. With tons of cash prizes, and the chance for your creation to be the next PeopleTowel, the contest begins on February February 4th, 2010 so click here for all the orGLAMic details.

I guess we have babies on the brain this week here at orGLAMic, because the products by 3 Sprouts are simply irresistable. Their Organic Storage Bins are made of 100% certified organic cotton canvas, and are adorably decorated with 100% eco-spun felt made from recycled water bottles and dyed with low-impact dyes. In addition to the monkey design above, the bins come in elephant and owl options. These cute bins can help kids keep their books and toys in order, be a place to store all of Fido’s treats, leashes, etc, or even act as a show bin to keep outside debris from getting past the front door. 3 Sprouts also offers hooded towels, place mats and smocks in equally bright and eco-conscious designs. Click here to browse the orGLAMic website.

Luckily there are more and more eco-friendly cribs on the market today, but few of them are as orGLAMic as the crib in The Roh Collection by Spot on Square. ”The Spot for the Modern Tot” is the home of one of my favorite orGLAMic designs that I have found, for a children’s nursery or otherwise! Not only is this crib beautifully designed and crafted, but the locally sourced walnut frame has a durable half-inch, BPA free, phthalate free, 100% recyclable, clear acrylic piece that keeps baby safe and engaged with the outside world at the same time. While The Roh Collection isn’t quite available, it isn’t too early to purchase and start planning for that little bundle of joy. Click here for purchase, of here to browse the Eicho and Hiya collections as well.

Those of you that are following me on twitter (twitter.com/orglamic) already know that I am on my 13th day of no sugar or alcohol. I cannot believe I have made it this far (yay! pat on back for myself!) but I definitely have The Super Salve Company’s Coconut Cream to thank. Why? Well it just smells so absolutely, deliciously edible that I literally get my sweet fix while applying it every morning. Of course the cream, whose main ingredient is organic coconut oil, also works wonders on my parched winter skin. I also love the fact that the label indicates that since the cream is freshly made with natural preservatives in small batches it should be treated like a food and kept cool or refrigerated after opening. Click here to browse all of the orGLAMic bodycare products.

With holiday season hours spent in the kitchen quickly approaching (and yucky flu germs abounding) prepare yourself with orGLAMic Liquid Hand Soap from Hugo Naturals. Available in 8 scents ranging from Spearmint to Red Tea & Ylang-Ylang, I personally choose Vanilla & Sweet Orange for my sink-side companion. Made of vegan and cruelty-free ingredients, the soaps are enriched with essential oils and botanical extracts – and look beautiful in any kitchen or guest bathroom! All of the company’s products are made without parabens, alcohol, petroleum products, artificial colors or artificial fragrances and include everything from deodorant to candles. Click here to purchase the item above, or here to browse the entire orGLAMic site.

Amenity Home is known as one of the most orGLAMic destinations for all green home decor. Offering everything from delicious duvets to precious place mats, Amenity perfectly combines form and function with an eco-twist. I personally love the orGLAMic, modern look of the “Trail” and “Birdseye” table runners pictures above (click here to purchase.) And if you are lucky enough to live in the Los Angeles area, this weekend they are having a sample sale downtown! Rumor has it that sample organic duvets will be as inexpensive as $50 and Belgian linen pillows will be up to 75% off. Going on all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday, details are available by clicking here.

This past weekend, I was lucky enough to co-host the third annual Opportunity Green business conference alongside the uber-talented Boise Thomas. Not only did I leave inspired and more knowledgable, but I also got to learn more about several orGLAMic companies that had recently crossed my radar. Only a couple months old, PACT underwear is already making a big impact. These skivvies are made of organic cotton, and each unique design supports a different organization. I personally just ordered the red boy shorts (pictured above) with 10% of the proceeds going to ForestEthics, but 826National and Oceana undies are also available. Available in several styles for both men and women, PACT underwear comes wrapped in a reusable cloth bag made from scraps and shipped to customers in bright green compostable shipping bags. Click here to make this orGLAMic purchase.

Time for another installment of Manly Mondays! Luckily for you orGLAMic fellas out there, Nike continues it’s efforts in social and eco contributions with their new N7 collection. During the creation of the collection, which includes Air Huaraches, Air Pegasus +26, organic cotton t-shirts, and even preschool and toddler kicks, careful consideration is given to the impact that will be felt by the next seven generations. To lessen the impact on the environment, all products are engineered around Nike Considered standards for higher performance and lower environmental impact. In addition, a portion of profits from the N7 product line go directly to the N7 fund which supports sport through social change in the Native community, providing a positive impact on the next seven generations. Click here to shop Nike’s orGLAMic offerings.
