She specialises in large, dramatic pendants which she turns into fabulous and affordable necklaces by using relatively inexpensive sterling silver wire.

Watch yourself get healthy with Philip Stein
I remember a time when watches just…well…told you the time, but now they do oh so much more. Philip Stein Teslar watches are no exception, bringing new meaning to the term ‘feel good fashion.’ Teslar technology was invented in 1986, emanating a signal to reinforce the body’s own electromagnetic field, helping the body to fight off the negative effects of external, low energy electromagnetic fields (EMF) from electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers.

100% organic slogan baby grows at Ecotopia
I’m not against the occasional slogan tee, especially on babies who can’t complain. This one has me tickled pink… or is that blue? It’s actually an organic cotton baby grow in sizes 0-3 and 3-6 months reading ‘100% Organic’ which could be an affirmation of your eco family credentials or how baby was, er, made.

Nike ‘Reuse-a-Shoe’ up and running in the UK
It always amuses me when large companies like Nike come up with ‘green’ ideas to ingratiate themselves with the public. They have a lot of work to do before we accept them as an ethical company, but I guess their initiative to recycle sports shoes is a step in the right direction.
Reuse-a-Shoe is a type of heaven for your sweaty old trainers, where their life is continued (after they are brutally ground down) in the form of sports and play surfaces. Nike began the scheme back in 1993 and it has been gathering momentum worldwide ever since. Now you can deposit your old sport shoes in several UK locations. Nike see it as part of their lifelong commitment to reducing waste, and also as a way to encourage more activity in kids by producing good quality sport surfaces where they can play. Handing out free trainers to kids would also be a good way to get them moving, but maybe I’m just being cynical?
