Going Green is Going Great

Posted by Arianne

Have you checked out 5 Minutes for Going Green yet?  When I’m not spending my time here posting pictures and waxing poetic, I’m wrangling fabulous a bunch green writers, and am continuously amazed at the great articles they come up with day after day.  Just in the last couple weeks we’ve had:

A fresh look at cloth diapers by Jenn at The Green Parent

-Thoughts on taking care of our mind, body and spirit by Beth at Coming Up For Air

-Great tips on greening our magazines by Jennifer of The Smart Mama

-New ideas on healthy school lunches by Jennifer at Little Green Secrets

-And amazing thoughts on food allergies and helping depression with gardening by Jen at EcoChic Organizer

All this, and so much more every day at 5 Minutes for Going Green.  Amazing resources, quick and easy tips, zero judgment.  My kind of women.

We are looking for a couple new writers for the site, email me if you or someone you know would be a good fit (arianne[at]tothinkistocreate.com).

What are some of your favorite green or healthy or natural sites?  I’d love to hear about them!

Love This Planet

Posted by Arianne

It’s that time of year again, when the Bloggy Giveaways are flying fast and furious.  I can’t resist taking part and joining in the fun.  And with the launch of my baby, 5 Minutes for Going Green, I figured how better to celebrate than to giveaway some of my favorite reusable bags?

Get Hip Get Green has some of my favorite reusables, because their sleek and boxy design means they are light weight and hold a ton.  They have a few different designs, and I’m giving away a set of FIVE in the design of your choice.  Cool, eh?

All you have to do is leave a comment here telling me which post from 5 Minutes for Going Green was your favorite in the last week.  You can earn an extra entry by twittering or posting about this giveaway, just leave an additional comment with a link to your tweet/post (also send me a tweet at @ToThink to let me know you did!). The deadline is midnight on Friday August 1st.  Winner will be picked at random.  Good luck!  And be sure to check out the plethora of other giveaways going on this week!
