Hey guys! I don't know if any of you have started your holiday shopping yet, or even started thinking about it for that matter (last minute shoppers like me raise your hand!), but I thought I'd get a jump on posting some gift guides for this season... and maybe give myself some ideas while I am at it!

Today, I am collaborating with Orange Harp, a phone app that offers eco-friendly and socially conscious products for all tastes and budgets (you can read my previous post on them here).

I've selected several items that I thought would be of interest - and since I am on a strict spending "diet" - affordable too! Also, look out for a discount code at the end of this post! ;-)

Now, let's check out the list!

First up, a few things for the ladies...

1) Woodland Terranium Vial Necklace from Lovehewn - How gorgeous is this hand crafted vintage necklace made from 100% recycled and re-purposed materials?! Each made to order vial contains beautiful botanical treasures from the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest and may also include moss, bark, twigs, flower petals or stones. Every one is completely different and unique! $24

2) Hanna Organic Skincare "Essential Travel Kit" - A travel kit is the perfect way to treat or introduce someone to cleaner, greener skincare and this one from Hanna Organic Skincare is simply a must buy! Each kit comes with 1oz containers of their "Lavender Grains", "Gentle Cleanser", "Gentle Toner" and a .25oz container of "Renew". All products are free from parabens, parfumes, synthetic preservatives, are made in the USA and do not contain GMO's. The lovely travel bag is handmade by owner Karen's sister too! $35

3) Lavender-Infused Botanic Bath Salts from Pura Botanica - Holidays can be stressful, and what better way to wind down after all the celebrating is over than with a bath filled with the calming scent of Lavender? Made with pure Bolivian Sea Salt and infused with a mixture of organic Lavender, Chamomile, Lemongrass and essential oils, these bath salts will whisk you away to a more peaceful state of being in no time! All ingredients are Organic and sustainably harvested. $23.80

1) Amethyst & Gold Brass Hoop Earrings from Lovehewn - Check out these gorgeous handcrafted earrings made from recycled brass and wire and decorated with vintage, semi-precious Amethyst stones! These are sure to bring out the inner Bohemian in any woman! $28

2) Sweet Chai Soy Candle from Pura Botanica - Every year, I always get my Nana a candle for Christmas and this one, from Pura Botanica would be perfect! With hints of Orange, Cinnamon, Clove and Vanilla, this sweet and spicy scented candle will surely delight anyone's senses! $27.20

3) Ambanja Madagasscar Chocolate Bar from Dandelion Chocolate - I love to give some kind of chocolate treat as a gift for Christmas (I mean, who doesn't love chocolate?!) and this one from Dandelion Chocolates looks like it would be a hit with any chocoholic in your life! Made with just Cocoa Beans from Madagascar and organic Cane Sugar ethically sourced from Brazil, this bar is described as having a combination of citrus and tangy fruit flavors in its flavor profile! Yum! $8


And let's not forget the men!

1) Leather Pint Glass Sleeve from Pedal Happy - Keep that beer cold longer with this handcrafted glass sleeve! Made without any harmful chemicals, and dyed with vegetable dye, this can also be customized with a name, logo, image or whatever you think your guy would like! $15

2) All Natural Soap Bars from Pura Botanica - Not just for women, these lush cleansing bars will leave your man feeling soft and nourished and smelling irresistible! Choose from "Chai Vanilla", "Herbal Tonic", "Peppermint Leaf" or "Spiced Citrus". Made with organic and sustainably harvested ingredients. $6 

3) High Desert Beard Oil from Juniper Ridge - While I personally like some facial hair on my man, I don't like how rough and scratchy it can be on my delicate skin! For any of you gals that feel that way, I may have found the perfect solution! Made with Organic Jojoba Oil and scented with wildcrafted fragrance distilled from plants from the Mojave Desert from Southern California, this face and beard oil from Juniper Ridge will soften things up in no time! $45


Orange Harp has soooooo many amazing looking products on their site that it was really difficult to narrow down my choices! Seriously, this could have been a lot longer!!

Now for the best part! Orange Harp is generously giving my readers a discount code to use on their app store. Just use code  "BECOHOLIC" at checkout to receive 15% off your purchase!

Happy Shopping!

Peace & love,

Merry Christmas!

I can't believe it's already Christmas day! It seems like every year it gets here quicker! And I have to admit, that no matter how old I get, I will always look forward to this day. It's not just the presents (though I still get up early to peek at what is under the tree!), but also the food (the only time I remove any dietary "restrictions" from myself because..cookies!), and of course, spending time with my family (I sleep over at my parent's and my mom and I watch old Christmas movies and have my dad's homemade Bailey's or Amaretto!). It's a time of great food, great fun and even better company!

I hope that all of you are having a wonderful day and that all of your Christmas/holiday wishes come true!


Peace, Love and Happy Holidays!
