Natural Shaving products for a close shave

If you don’t believe there is ‘such a thing as global warming’, then you haven’t been looking at the crazy weather patterns that have had the entire country in its claws. Cold on some level doesn’t even begin to describe it. I’m not here to preach to you about the benefits of participating in any way you can to help the environment, I’m just here to share some new vendors with you, who do.

There is a San Francisco based shaving company called Pacific Shaving who created a line of grooming essentials that they call 'good for the skin, good for the wallet and good for the earth'. Don’t under estimate the small size; the company says that you can get up to 100 close and clean shaves with their products. The small size makes it easy to take in your toiletry bag when you’re heading to the gym and because it lasts, its easy on your wallet. Yes, ladies, they have products for you too. Stop by www.PacificShaving.com to find a local store near you.

Nothing says ‘fresh-start’ like a bar of sweet smelling organic soap. Sweetsoaps which is a N.J. based eco-friendly company can take care of your needs. They happen to be committed to the environment and recycle all packing materials making them even more energy conscious.

Don’t you just love this 2x3, eco-friendly cotton, drawstring bag? It can be customized with your message and art. They not only offer a selection of small handmade natural soaps that can fit in this bag, they also offer a wide variety of soap colors/fragrances to match your wedding. Prices start at $3.00 each at www.sweetsoaps.com/

Dogeared continues to respond to the marketplace's demand for beautiful eco-friendly jewels and gifts. The Respun line of bags, journals, and jewelry rolls made from recycled t-shirts continues to expand and joins their Organic Canvas Collection.

The New Beginnings Hankie makes a charming gift for the mother of the bride, or anyone who might cry happy tears. And a Simple Sachet Pillow, filled with delicious smelling lavender to make a perfect bridal gift.

As the year goes on, there are lots of new eco-friendly vendors I’ll introduce you to. If you have one that you like, why not tell me? Send a note to bridalease{at}gmail{dot}com. I’m always happy to ‘find someone new' for you.
