Conscious Collection From H & M

I just HAVE to write about H & M's new Conscious Collection, I am so excited! Eco-fashion going mainstream and being easily accessible by so many people, while also being affordable is so beyond awesome. Not only are the designs for this collection super cute, they are white, which make them perfect for the new Spring and Summertime weather. This collection uses recycled fabrics, organic cotton, and tencel. Tencel is a natural and renewable resource.

Here is a cute perfect-for-spring top I got:

Many of their pieces from this collections are very versatile. You can layer tops like this one with other more relaxed slouchy pieces for a comfortable chic look, or pair it with a more structured cardigan or jacket and statement jewelry for a more polished-put-together look.

H & M has put together a whole website all about their Conscious Collection, which includes information about corporate responsibility, a 2009 Sustainability Report, and information about them using greener goods. I love it.

Cool Off with Fruit & Veggie Smoothies

Looking for a fun, healthy and vegan way  to cool off in this new warm weather? Well, now you can enjoy getting your 8-10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day because Jamba Juice has Fruit & Veggie Smoothies!

These smooth and delicious beverages are sure to cool you off and keep you feeling great because you are getting 3 full servings of fruits and veggies in each smoothie. My favorite is Berry UpBEET. All that is in this smoothie is vegetable juices, fruit and ice.
