Vacation At Home with Javier and Efren Pina Colada Glasses

pina-colada-glasses

Now that the excitement of the holiday season has passed, it’s easy to find the remaining winter months just a little depressing and dreary. It’s also easy to start daydreaming about vacations to places where the sun is still beating down (preferably on sandy beaches and turquoise seas). Many of us, however, are limiting our vacation-related travel these days for both economic and environmental reasons and either trying a “staycation” or foregoing time off altogether.

Whether you’ll be relaxing at home for a week or simply have a night off, you can bring a little taste of more tropical climates to you with the Caribbean Pina Colada Glasses by Mexican design duo Javier and Efren, who have been featured in a variety of magazines and newspapers for their creative glass pieces and efforts at preserving Mexico’s blown glass artistry.  The Caribbean Glasses, available at Novica, are made from lead-free recycled glass that’s handblown by the artists individually, resulting in truly one of a kind glassware that’s just as much art work as it is a functional kitchen piece.

Get new lipstick AND grow a garden!

Daily Greenz #25

Cargo_lipstick_5 Cargo went above and beyond the call of duty when it created the PlantLove
Botanical Lipstick.

Besides the lipstick itself being made from all-natural products, the carton is made entirely from corn, saving emissions of some serious greenhouse gases. And the real kicker: the packaging contains flower seeds, so you can grow a garden as beautiful as your lips.
