    Yummy Earth
    While I hate to admit it, I love my sweets! Unfortunately, I’ve passed this little vice of mine along to my boys. Sure, I give them treats, but I can’t help but feel concerned about the sugar, additives and artificial ingredients. That was until I came across Yummy Earth’s organic candy. Yes, organic candy exists! Their lollipops are gluten, peanut, tree nut and corn syrup free. What really makes Yummy Earth more enjoyable is that nearly 100% of their proceeds go to autism research as well as environmental & children’s charities!




    “We all have to do our part, why not look fabulous while you do it!” these are some wise words from the very creative designer Kate D’arcy. This fashionista practices what she preaches with her clothing line, Toggery sustainable clothing by Kate Darcy, which is dedicated to both style and the environment.

    Often when we think of greener clothing choices, visions of drab and muted ‘granola girl-esque’ garments come to mind. No woman should have to sacrifice style to green her wardrobe and Toggery is just the right answer. With vibrant, colorful and stylish fashion knits ranging from comfy tissue-tee’s to sleek wrap dresses. This contemporary line is committed to having its entire collection made in an environmentally responsible manner and all garments produced by a certified socially responsible apparel manufacturer here in the USA. Thanks to 100% organic cotton, Modal and bamboo fibers, each garment is soft, luxurious and incredibly comfortable against the skin. Toggery’s pieces are available in a range of colors achieved from dyes that use less energy, fewer chemicals and produce less waste than even natural or vegetable dyes. Dressed up or down, Kate’s versatile designs make Toggery a summer hot pick & wise investment.
