Just because July is almost over doesn't mean there isn't time to embrace the season with some summer sun this weekend!We caught up with Sandra Sanchez (the gorgeous woman pictured above who founded orGLAMic, her site for sustainable luxury living), where she dished on why it's important to her to be eco-friendly:
"It's important to be eco-minded while purchasing new products because every small item makes a different. Whether it is something vintage, or something made out of recycled materials or organic or sustainable fabric, each eco-conscious product that you buy in place of a conventional one affects our planet and our personal health. orGLAMic features products that are eco-friendly yet that don't compromise style."
We couldn't let her get away without telling us what should be in our style repertoire this weekend, so here you have Sandra's summer picks:
"Must Haves for an orGLAMic Summer:"
Sea Bag totes:
Made of our recycled sails, these durable, machine-washable bags are eco-friendly and chic. Available in small, medium, and large and in seemingly-infinite colors and designs, each bag is unique. Not only is this super-flattering, but it gives me the opportunity to spread the idea that eco-friendly can be fashion-forward!
Jungle Gurl bikinis:
Inspired by model/actress Natalie Golonka's travels around the world (and all the great scarves, clothes and fabrics she picked up along the way!) these one of a kind bikinis are made from recycled vintage garments and are uber-flattering in their simple, string-bikini styling. Vintage-lovers Nicole Richie and Rachel Zoe are both fans of this line.
Intelligent Nutrients Certified Organic Anti-Aging Mist:
All of the products from this eco-friendly, organic line are divine, but this mist is a summertime favorite. While intended for use as a prep for the Anti-Aging Serum, you can also toss this into your beach bag as a great mid-day pick up. The light mist is refreshing and free of silicone, parabens, petrochemical and synthetic fragrances - orGLAMic indeed!
Soleo Sunscreen:
Protect your skin and the planet with organic sunscreen from Soleo organics. This all-natural sunscreen is formulated without the use of chemical-UV absorbers, titanium dioxide or synthetic preservatives. Water-resistant and biodegradable, this powerful product is great for sensitive skin and athletes alike. This sunscreen was also voted #1 by the Environmental Working Group.
Drink Skinny Margarita Mix:
This margarita mix is the perfect addition to any outdoor soiree. Made with real fruit juices, this mix combines all-natural sweeteners (stevia and agave nectar) for its delightful flavor. And if you want to stay in bikini shape, remember that this mix only has 20 calories per serving. Now just how many you have is up to you! ;)
Make sure to check out these items before your trip to the shore this weekend, and read orGLAMic each weekday to see the featured product of the day!
