MaddieBrit Products, LLC based in Camarillo, California created and launched GrabGreen, a complete line of eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products. Founded by a mother of two who felt frustrated by a lack of health-conscious, environmentally friendly cleaning products took matters into her own hands and founded GrabGreen to give people like herself a new option.

Teachers, educators and parents know more than anyone what the face of the next generation looks like. They know intimately what we can expect from the children who will inherit the world we live in. Educators set the example—good or bad—that the next generation of children will follow.

GrabGreen does its part by offering educators a Buy-One-Get-One-Free online promotion. The promotion offers teachers and education professionals the chance to implement healthy cleaning options in the classroom and cafeteria. This sets a clear example for students and staff to follow when making their own cleaning product choices.

GrabGreen has a history of providing affordable products without toxic chemicals which appeals to educators, who use the cleaning products in their classrooms and homes. Teachers feel good using the products while knowing they are keeping students safe from harsh chemicals.

Over 500 educators have participated in the BOGO program since its inception. The founders, Patricia Spencer & Michael Edell, of GrabGreen feel it’s important to give back to the educators who have dedicated their lives to keeping students healthy, happy and well informed.

Since many schools and educational facilities have faced cutbacks and budget cuts, GrabGreen felt it was important to offer healthy cleaning products at a discounted rate. The company has given a new choice to educators and made it easy for them to choose a healthy, eco-friendly option while still saving money.

GrabGreen specializes in making eco-friendly products that can compete against even the toughest conventional cleaning products. The product line includes: nifty pre-measured laundry detergent and dishwashing detergent pods, along with countertop and all-purpose cleaners, glass cleaner, and hand soap. All products come in a multitude of delicious fragrances, although Spencer says, “As delicious the scents are, I don’t recommend tasting them…It's still soap.” In addition there is a fragrance-free option for those with sensitive skin.

Outdoor Retailer Show in Salt Lake City is Grandious!

Tweet

That’s an exciting time to be at the annual Summer Outdoor Retailer Show in Salt Lake City! I love going there to see what’s new in gear, in food, in fun and sporty clothing lines, shoes, and skin care for those who love outdoors in its variations: jogging, biking, kayaking, camping.

This year the show was completely sold out for the exhibitors. Gazillion people at the show! I managed to cover the show in a few hours, being very selective where I wanted to go and what I wanted to see.

A lot of competition in all areas: shoes, sports wear, gadgets for camping and climbing – you name it, they have it.

Here are a few products I really liked and purchased for myself (not all, but I consider doing so, as you cannot buy everything at the show without carrying a lot of weight on the shoulders.)

Here’s a partial list of those products that are great not only for those who spend their lives outdoors, but for any person who cares about their Health, Our Environment, and Active Lifestyle.

Sandals by Source

Why CelebrateWoman loved them:
• Anti-microbial compound incorporated into the upper sole of the sandal to keep it dry, cool, and odor free.
• Triple-Layer Sole allows to absorb shock and weight from walking, running, climbing. Plus three layers allow for a great grip and durability.
• 4-Year Guarantee
• Each sandal has a green dot incorporated into the sole. Your warranty will last for four years if this dot stays intact.
• Price Range: $25 to $100
• Very competitive with Chaco, Crocs, Teva brands
• Yes, I bought a pair for myself
• www.source-vagabond.com

Repelling Lotion & Products by BugBand

Why CelebrateWoman loved it:
• All natural ingredients, with geranium, mint, and rosemary extracts
• Repels mosquitoes, ticks, flies, gnats, fleas
• Safe for all ages
• Versatility usage: autos, trucks, airplanes, hiking, gardens & yards, pet bedding, etc.
• Available in band, lotion, towelettes, and even bead bags
• Competitive pricing even though this technology and delivery is eco-sensitive
• Yes, I got towelettes to try to use
• www.BugBand.net

High Performance Socks by SockGuy

Why CelebrateWoman loved it:
• Wicking technology, i.e., sweat is not absorbed into the sock fabric directly, rather it is taken away from the skin surface. That allows your feet feel and stay cool, dry, do the running, hiking, skating, etc. elegantly and effortlessly
• Wide range of colors and performance specs
• Very reasonable custom order (yeah, Christmas is coming!): The minimum custom order is 5 dozen, and it will cost you approximately $4/pair. Call and talk to them, they’ll accommodate you.
• Very competitive pricing when it comes to this high-end, high-performance piece of clothing (you can wear one pair for years! And enjoy the comfort and design it provides you every time you wear it!)
• I did not buy any, but I am going to custom order for my family and friends.
• www.sockguy.com

Pet Products by ABO Gear

 Why CelebrateWoman loved it:
• Eco-friendly materials for your pets to chew on, sleep in, eat out, and wear on
• Amazing variety of toys, gear, pet clothes
• I did not buy any at this time
• www.abogear.com

Accessories & Apparel by Sprigs

 Why CelebrateWoman loved it:
• Amazingly comfy
• Variety of designs and colors
• Eco-Friendly and Organic
• I got one hair band for my workouts, it’s purple with designs on it
• www.sprigsville.com

Can Silk Canvas Speak?

Tweet

Usually I profile women who are creating healthy products in food, cosmetics, and home usage. Today, it is going to be an exception. For the beauty and inspiration I got from these colors and vibrant designs are beyond any WOW. The pictures for this post will give you a quick idea what I mean.

Chiffon, Crepe, Georgette, Charmeuse silk

These are the fabrics you see below in the pictures

Of course the pictures cannot bring total justice. But the designs and colors do speak their own language – the language of inspiration, peace, love, beauty. And the woman who designs the fabrics has an amazing story to tell: about what she does and how she got where she is now.

Harshita Lohia, originally from Kolkata, India is an amazing artist that pours her heart and soul into her individually designed silk pieces. She chooses to combine colors and elements from her native India, nature, ancient symbols, and modern man-made architectural structures in her skillfully orchestrated creations – scarves, tunics, jackets, shawls.

The designer pieces created by Harshita’s artful eye and hand touches hearts and souls of many women world-wide. In Sanskrit, Harshita means “full of happiness.” This designer, artist, woman infuses her creations with exactly Happiness her name means.

And today, I’d like to bring out the story of Harshita Lohia’s designs for you – to get inspired.

*****

CelebrateWoman (CW) Harshita, who is the primary target for your products?

Harshita Lohia (Harshita) There is a choice of color, design, fashion almost for anybody who likes silks, crepe, georgette, and chiffon fabrics. My wear pieces use vibrant colors. The combinations of them are unique for each individual piece.

Every season, my customers can count on new color combos and design elements. Scarves, shawls, shrugs, blouses, tunics, and jackets, woven design pieces are just a few items that are available for those who celebrate uniqueness in clothing.

In a few words, my customers are women of all ages who love non traditional blend of color and unique design.

CW What is the Number 1 reason someone should buy your products?

Harshita There are a lot of women who would like to make a statement with what they wear. Harshita Designs offers them this opportunity with bold, hand-made, small production numbers for each item. My customers can rest assured that what they get won’t be found anywhere else.

CW Harshita, how is your product different than your #1 competitor?

Harshita The technique of printing for all of my silk pieces is very unique and cannot be reproduced easily. It is very labor intensive and each piece is hand-crafted. To emulate such a process will require a lot of time and money.

CW What benefits will a person receive when using your design pieces?

Harshita All of my pieces like scarves, blouses, skirts are versatile. They can be worn with a lot of different colors, for casual or formal wear. And you can get more use out of one piece of clothing by combining it with your existing wardrobe.

CW How does the price of your designer pieces compare to others in your category?

Harshita Our prices are very competitive with designer pieces sold else where. Naturally, when you get a hand-made piece that is of limited edition, you pay a bit more than for those mass manufactured. But then again, you shall appreciate the love and care it’s made with.

CW Everyone is talking these days about being green. To me, that includes being Fair Trade, being sustainable, and organic. It might even include using alternative energy, or buying energy offsets. How does your company, your product, measure-up on these important issues?

Harshita We recycle a lot, finding use for every single piece of fabric. Our colors are derived from nature. And we work constantly on figuring out how to transfer my working technique with silk onto other organic materials.

Currently, we work with different grades of silk. I use chiffon, crepe, georgette and charmeuse silk for my designs.

CW Where can my readers find your product and learn more about it?

Harshita The website www.HarshitaDesigns.com will give you ideas what I’m working with and where I showcase my designs. Here, you could see more vividly my items worn by models.

*****

Again, the designs and colors of Harshita’s eye and technique are superbly mesmerizing! They call to wear them. To touch them. To get inspired by them.

The silk under Harshita’s masterful hand truly speaks the language of Universal Happiness and Joy.

When was the last time you got inspired by looking at the designer printed silk?
