Meet the Exhibitors: ReUsies - Re-usable Sandwich and Snack Bags

To hear them tell it the two women behind ReUsies were going through a staggering 10 plastic lunch bags per day per family. Too much plastic, they agreed!

They quickly devised a (business)plan to decrease their support of SC Johnson's Pension Plan (the makers of Ziploc) and create an all natural and reusable snack and sandwich bag that was cute and easy to clean. ReUsies are made of 100% cotton and lined with 100% water resistant nylon that's also BPA, lead and Phthalate free. With a secure piece of Velcro to close, ReUsies don't fall open. The bags are machine-washable, dishwasher safe and easy to clean thoroughly by hand. Choose from over 60 styles in two convenient sizes, we think they've succeeded! And we're not the only ones.

The Seattle-based company has been praised for their ingenuity in the children's market where eco-friendly products make an important impact. Imagine junior growing up reusing his lunch bag instead of tossing a handful of plastic into the landfill. The old adage about telling, showing and teaching a child a lesson comes to life at ReUsies. Find up what they're up to here.

Prices run up to $8.75 and will be discounted to Eco-Chic Expo guests.

Thanks ReUsies!

Meet the Exhibitors: Sweet Beauty Spa

We are excited to announce that Sweet Beauty  - Organic Chocolate Spa Treatments will be joining us for the Eco-Chic Expo. There are a million spa products out on the market but there are some very unique qualities of Sweet Beauty that we think make them stick out far above the rest.

Here is what we love about Sweet Beauty:

• Every Sweet Beauty Spa product starts with a base of organic fair-trade certified chocolate and cocoa butter, sourced from Theo Gourmet Chocolate in Seattle, Washington.
• Every batch of Sweet Beauty products is hand crafted by founder, Lisa Francoise.

• Sweet Beauty guarantee that all their products are made from 100% natural ingredients, obtained from responsible sources and preserved naturally. The products contain no parabens, pthalates, sulfates, fragrances, artificial colors, synthetic emulsifiers or silicones.
• Did we mention that these products are made with Chocolate?? There are numerous benefits to using chocolate in Spa products such as incredible antioxidant protection and profound effect on your mood, creating a feeling of deep relaxation and satisfaction.
