Preserve

Here's a great story for you. My kids are on board with bringing you Green living items that make your life easier. My second oldest is possibly my greenest child. She comes home from a grocery shopping trip with my husband and slaps a toothbrush in my hand. She then tells me this is what reminds me of you.



My first thought is my breath is bad. I told her thank you and set it down. It just happens that I went to open the toothbrush and saw something interesting. The package can be mailed somewhere. Why was this? It's a toothbrush recycling program. Like the ink in your printer you can mail this toothbrush back to be recycled.

 I have to know about this company. They not only have a toothbrush recycling program but the toothbrushes are made of recycled yogurt cups.  The make more than just toothbrushes. They have razors, dinnerware, and storage. All recycled and all MADE IN THE U.S.A.


If things couldn't get better .....THEY DO! The Preserve Jr., their child toothbrush gives money to the National Wildlife Federation from every purchase. The last fabulous thing I have to share..... The dentist recommends you change toothbrushes once every 3 months. They have a program where you subscribe and it keeps you on track.I am now in love with this company. They do everything I hope to do and raise my family to do.

Thanks to my Mini Eco Chic Warrior we are proudly caring Preserve products! I will eventually have their entire line up. I hope you all jump on board this great recycled band wagon with me. Even my favorite blog. The Zero Waste home still has a toothbrush she doesn't know what to do with.

Welcome

I think a big THANK YOU is the first order of business. Thank you for taking your time to see what we are all about. I'll take an elementary school approach to this first post of many I hope you enjoy.

Who? We are two Mom's Mary and Deanne. We both come from a professional back ground and are ready to venture on our own and see how we do.

I'm Mary. I've worked in telecoms 11 years. I have five beautiful children. I was "Green" before it was cool. In high school, shopping at good will, not wearing make-up and teased about being a hippy. I clothed diapered my children, jumped on the Urban Farm movement with a large vegetable garden, compost bin and chickens.  I am proud to say my recycle bin is always fuller than my trash can. I am excited about this venture, finding sustainable products to offer, building a relationship with you our customer and having fun doing it.


This is my dear friend Deanne. Expecting her  first child. Coming from a successful business professional back ground. She has a lot of style and class to bring to the table. Is really excited as well to step out on her own and try her hand at bring you quality, beautiful products you can live with proudly.


What? Lovely Eco Chic is our new web store dedicated to bring you a Greener life style with ease. Everything from babies and children, yard and garden to chic clothing and home furnishings.

Where? Currently we can only be found on the web. In the near future expanding to booths are trade shows and festivals. Then on to a brick and mortar shop in the San Francisco Bay Area.

When? We are open for business now. The product selections are increasing daily so come back often. Check on our FaceBook Page for Sales events and Promotional discounts and register as a customer so we can extend valued customer discount codes to you.

Why? I'm a tree hugger at heart. I love everything there is about nature and it deeply effects me knowing that the coral reefs are dying, animals are going extinct, forests are disappearing and people are loosing more that money being exploited and killed  in countries where companies are not offering even a living wage. Not nearly enough is being done. This is my duty to my earth to help make it a better place. I pledge to you to try my best to research what we offer and make sure it's Earth safe, people friendly and chic enough for you our valued customer.
