Fresh and Chic: Blue Q/Danielle & Co. - May 27, 2009

I hate to say it but this might be the week of Wickedly Chic using the word crap frequently. We have the article “Buying Indie in a Crap Economy” and now we have a business that has fabulous stuff that can’t be found at Mega Crap Mart. Hey…they say it themselves so I’m just going along with the program.

Do you bring your own bags to the grocery store when you shop? Well….do you??? If you don’t, what are you waiting for? Reusable bags are eco-friendly and eco-friendly means that we leave the world a better place. It drives me crazy when I run into Walgreens and buy one little thing and they want to put it in a plastic bag. How much plastic do we really need?

So…you’re thinking about toting your own bags to the store or you already are doing so. How about upping the ante and making it more fun? That’s where Blue Q comes in. Their reusable bags are colorful, pretty and just plain awesome.

Check out the overnighter bag pictured here. Yes, you can use it for a weekend…but you can also take it to the store. Amazingly sturdy, fun & bright…and it’s just $17.99. Shopping bags galore can be found at Blue Q…and at locations near you. You can either order online or use their quick and easy store finder so you can check them out in person.

Hurry! One of these bags is calling your name.

I think this might be our third feature on Danielle and Company and it certainly won’t be our last. We hear from them when they have new products and so we’ve got the scoop on the latest.

If you haven’t heard of this Pennsylvania-based indie business, there’s no time like the present to learn about what they have to offer. According to the company, “Danielle’s products are created as eco chic. They are modern in design and are made with the purest ingredients, many of them being organic and made with essential oils. Each product is formulated with a botanical oil base and is enhanced with rich shea butter, highly prized for its skin-moisturizing benefits. All of Danielle’s products are completely naked of fillers, preservatives, sulfates, petrochemicals, GMOs or parabens. They are 100% vegan and cruelty-free.”

This week, we’ve been sampling lotion. I have nothing but raves for their Lavender & Spearmint Organic Hand & Body Lotion. Two beautiful scents put together in a moisturizer is heaven on earth. Seriously. This product contains organic oils, organic aloe vera and vitamin E. Equally lovely is the Pure Oats scent which is just a really relaxing and soothing product.

Since summer is upon us and many of you will be traveling, you’ll be thrilled to know that Danielle & Company has travel sized products…including soap! Other products include body wash, soy candles & organic lip balm. Stock up! All orders over $69.00 will receive free shipping.
