I live with a lot of animals…

So… I guess you could call me an “animal person”.  And I’m just as particular about what they eat and wear (collars) as I am about what I eat and wear.  I’ve tried many different online and storefront “eco” pet retailers, but now I found my spot!  Olive: Green Goods for Modern Dogs is a wonderful resource to find goodies for furry friends.

I’ve been on a collar kick since we adopted our latest – Welsh Corgi/Queensland puppy, Harry Kalas, last week… I like match their little neck  accessories with their personalities.  And Norman, our Jack Russell, is on his 3rd collar because I just can’t seem to find the right match for him.  So, during my neckwear search, I happened upon Olive – and boy, am I glad I did!  They have a wonderfully edited collection of sustainably-crafted collars, treats, beds, blankets, toys, food & skincare… and plenty of cat goodies too.

For HK, I found a cool, mod Black & White bamboo collar and it’s perfectly suits the little spaz!

And for Norman, I opted for the chic “Pee Wee” stripe.  He’s personality is very measured and sweet… so, a linear design seemed right – and he looks just adorable in it!

I was also thrilled to find Sam’s Yams Sweet Potato Dog Chewz!  Our dogs are vegetarians… and finding chewies for them isn’t very easy.  I cracked these babies open yesterday and Norman & HK happily devoured!

My order arrived promptly and to sweeten the pot, Olive had included little samples of their homemade doggy cookies (also happily devoured by the boys) and a $10 OFF coupon for my next order!  From one retailer to another, I can tell you… Olive is doing it right!

And now… Naptime!

We’re completely split down the middle here at Green With Glamour on the oh-so-controversial topic – is the upcoming trend of over-the-knee boots for Fall a good thing?   On one hand, they’re sexy, warm and smack of power… on the other hand, they may be a bit too “sexy”, they’re hard to wear if you don’t have pin-thin legs and limiting as far as skirt/dress hem length goes.  It’s a real conundrum!   That being said, here are our top 3 picks:

Ariel by Cri de Coeur

Babel by Wanted

Zeda by Madden Girl

So… What’s your take?  Over-the-knees numbers… Yea or Nea?

Frankly, this is a deal to beat all deals!  The other half of Green With Glamour, my business partner, Kathleen, wears the hell out of her Cook top by Ecoskin and it looks stunning with everything from cut-offs & ballet flats to a pencil skirt & high heels.  And that’s not even the best part… this week only it’s on CRAZY MARKDOWN from $183 to $45!!!

With the sun burning bright this month… We thought nothing seemed like a better giveaway than KID SAFE SUNSCREEN by Marie Veronique Organics ($24 value)!  GWG’s Beauty Editor, Sara Jones-Rust, schools us as to why it’s an eco-chic must for you & your beloved little ones:

There has been a lot of talk about sunscreens and their safety lately. It seems I don’t go a day without an email or a Facebook post about nanoparticles, which are being shown to destroy DNA in studies on mice, or the photocarcinogenic properties of Vitamin A.  It’s a scary thing to realize that what we’ve all been slathering on our largest organ to keep from getting skin cancer or looking 20 years older than we really are, might actually be making the situation worse.

But chucking the SPF is not the answer. Clearly, making smart decisions, like staying out of the mid-afternoon sun and rocking a sun hat are good decisions. But let’s not give up our days at the beach or afternoon’s spent poolside. Summer is too short, as is life.

The Environmental Working Group, a watch dog group who has a lot of great articles on their site about sun and sunscreen safety, has a few handy-dandy lists of the best and safest sunscreens for Beach & Sport, Daily Moisturizers and Lip Balm. So all your bases are still covered.

In fact, our friends at Marie Veronique Organics, consistently rank at the top of their list for SPF Moisturizers and they want to share with our lovely Living Green With Glamour readers! More on that in a minute. They have a new product out called “Kid Safe Screen” that protects from those nasty UVA/UVB rays and contains non-micronized zinc oxide, which is “a physical sun block that reflects UV rays without releasing wrinkle and cancer-causing free radicals.” Perfect protection for both you and the little ones. Plus it’s highly absorbable and won’t leave your skin with a chalky white film, which would just be tragic against that new black bikini.

So now to the good stuff – the GIVEAWAY!  Leave a comment below and we’ll pick one lucky lad or lady to receive a complimentary bottle of Marie Veronique Organic’s  Kid Safe Sunscreen (a $24 value). Bon Chance!

Chic & timeless… the Gold Teardrop earrings are perfect for day or night!  Support Fair Trade AND be oh-so-stylish with these beauties.  Handmade in San Luis, Peru, the body of these classic beauties are gold-dipped brass with 14K gold french wires.

This week – ONLY $32!!!
