DIY Life

July is moving faster than ever, and I'm vowing today to soak up all of the sun I can get before August comes and goes! This weekend, I'm planning a picnic with my honey. My goal? To prepare the greenest, most earth-friendly picnic ever. Here's what I've got on my list:

TO CARRY
Eco Picnic Basket, $125, Uncommon Goods
OK, so I get that it's a bit of a massive amount to spend on one date. So, if you already have a picnic basket [or any basket for that matter], feel free to purchase these bamboo utensils and these recycled wine glasses and you'll have the general gist of the eco-friendly picnic basket.

Recycled Mexican Blanket, $34.95, Turning Life
A blanket made from completely recycled fibers that won't itch your legs? I'm sold. Bonus? You can re-use the blanket as a warm wintery throw in cooler months.
TO PACK
French Rabbit's new eco-friendly wine, available at your local grocer. Not only is the packaging uber-fun and totally green, but for every four wines sold, French Rabbit and American Forests will plant a tree. Go, Earth!

Yummy provolone sandwiches wrapped in the Wrap-n-Mate Grande from Reusable Bags. Reusable and adorable? Yes, please!

TO WEAR
Organic suncreen, of course! Add a bit of earth-friendly lip balm, some vintage threads and voila (!) --- the greenest gal in town.

TO DO
Don't forget Garden-opoly, the eco-board game that everyone's chatting about. Of course, if you get bored you can always smooch, which happens to release zero toxins into the air whatsoever!
