In This Article:

Everyone loves a company that not only sells awesome products but also gives a heck about the environment. I mean, who doesn't love being able to rep a sweet outfit, clean your house, or enjoy a cup of tea guilt free? I know I do.

Lush Cosmetics

Lush is not only cruelty free and all natural, but they also care quite a bit about the environment. They try to minimize packaging as much as possible. They make solid shampoo, conditioner, and lotion to minimize the plastic packaging used and dumped into the ocean. But the packaging they do use is recyclable. They even offer incentives for customers to recycle: when you bring in five empty Lush containers to be recycled, you get a free product.

Patagonia

Patagonia has been setting the bar for sustainable and eco-conscious companies for a while now. They pledge one percent of sales or 10% of pre-tax profits, whichever is more, to environmental groups. They have also have an initiative called Worn Wear (wornwear.patagonia.com) that refurbishes and resells used Patagonia gear to lessen their waste. And if the garments are beyond repair, they recycle them.

Parkland Design & Manufacturing

A recent discovery of mine, and a lesser known brand than our others, Parkland is a bag and accessory company that makes their stuff from recycled water bottles. They are really high quality, simple designs that won't break the bank. They also don't use excess packaging when shipping the products. They don't arrive stuffed and in a box ten times their size; you get the product, not ten pounds of unnecessary paper.

Seventh Generation

Cleaning products aren't exactly the first things that come to mind when you think "sustainability". Most cleaning products are chemical-ridden environmental nightmares. But Seventh Generation is setting the bar for sustainability within the cleaning industry. All of their products are made from plant-based ingredients that are 100% biodegradable.

Numi Tea

Tea lovers rejoice! Numi Tea's mission is all about sustainability. They follow their products every step of the way, making sure everything is environmentally sound. They also have sustainable packaging, make regular donations to environmental groups, and track carbon emissions during the production process.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
