Eco Weekend Round-up: Nov 6th, 2010

What to Wear:
Boot season is definitely here and we are onto a super cool eco brand out of the UK called Po-Zu.  As our favorite fashionable male, Brian, wrote in a recent AskHim blog, Uggs are still all the rage and are the perfect pairing for a casual day around town.  But, we are thinking of trading in those Uggs for Po-Zu Piper Tans which, not only are a lot more stylish than those standard brown suede boots, but are also organically tanned with vegetable extracts.  Oh and did we also mention that they give 3% of each purchase to the charity of your choice??  If that doesn't get your feel good shopaholic hearts racing then we don't know what will

What to Check Out:

Tired of paying $250 for a mediocre hair cut??  Yeah so were we - so we hopped on the 6 train to Union Square to check out the Carsten Aveda Institute.  For $19 you get a wash, hair cut, blow dry, scalp massage and hand massage.  Apart from all of this, they also use all Aveda products which are composed of naturally derived ingredients.  Make your appt today at the 22 East 17th Street!

What to Eat:
Did you know how many amazing nutrients are in pumpkins?  Better yet, did you know how tasty pumpkin seeds can be?  Check out this awesome recipe from Emeril Lagasse for some delicious roasted pumpkin seeds with a spicy kick.  We made them and now are a bit addicted to this yummy snack

 News from C. Mar:

As you end this fabulous first week of November be sure to check out our design process post Monika's Story: The Journey of an Eco Friendly Dress, how to get your guy's attention with this week's AskHim and a Q&A with one of the new member's of our CMar Team, Krystal Williams.  Last, but not least, don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour this Sunday as Daylight Savings Time comes to an end for 2010...and luckily gives all of us some extra time to catch up on those much needed Zzzzzs!

Keep it real & keep it eco chic
