April 22nd Earth Day-GreenLeaf Boutique Giveaway

Does the name GreenLeaf Boutique mean anything to you?! It should! They are the generous sponsors of DSSM's Klean Kanteen-a-day giveaway listed here! You can enter each day to win a Klean Kanteen but the contest is only open to residents of the USA. (If you live in Canada, you can choose to pay the taxes/customs fee and accept your prize)

WaterLeaf is a truly unique shopping experience. They carry gifts and stationery for all occasions, and all of their items are chosen with great care. The array of products found at WaterLeaf is in many instances earth-friendly, handmade and/or produced by vendors that are fair trade certified. They often work with vendors that give a portion of their proceeds to charities or that provide opportunities to those in difficult circumstances.

At WaterLeaf, they are devoted to preserving the environment and aiding those in need while providing distinctive products and excellent services.

This wonderful Boutique embodies all of the qualities that I think are especially important. I spoke with Ana Barron, owner of WaterLeaf Boutique, the other day and she was so nice and genuine. I love that she not only wants people to realize how important protecting our environment is but she also helps to support charities and organizations through the eco-friendly and fair trade items she carries.

If you live in New Jersey you can visit WaterLeaf Boutique in person at 2 East Main Street, Ramsey, NJ 07446

Thank you to Ana for sharing some shirts from WaterLeaf Boutique's newest Organic children's clothing line. She sent Dexter three long sleeve shirts that are nice, soft and a bit stretchy! I need stretchy because my son has a HUGE noggin and I have a hard time getting tshirts over his head! They are a little big on him otherwise I would have posted some pictures of him sporting his new shirts! Thanks Ana!

Well, here comes the moment I have been waiting for! THE GIVEAWAY! I am so very proud to tell you that Ana and WaterLeaf Boutique would like to give one Dexter's Super Savvy Mommy Reader the chance to win an ISSI Pendant.





ISSI (shorthand for I Support Something Important) was developed in 2008 by Phyllis Shenny to create jewelry and fashion that stand for environmental issues, and then to promote them in communities in a friendly and exciting way in an effort to get friends and families to change their habits in little ways that have a potentially huge impact.

The ISSI wear pendant is a graceful piece, abstractly stylized from a heart, an ear of corn, a leaf, a footprint. A symbol of our heritage, and our harvest, a symbol of American grown, American made. A symbol of renewable energy.

Made of the finest quality sterling silver with an extra long cable chain that hangs by a stylish knot, it is as comfortable on evening wear as it is on a t-shirt. The words "i support american renewable energy" are engraved in a script font that looks hand written, which adds a personal, and yet very classy look.

The ISSI pendant gives you the ability to communicate what is important to you in a cool, elegant, and unique way. And unlike other cause related jewelry, wearing an ISSI piece does not just say I support this cause in spirit, but it says I am actually doing something about it.

You will receive the ISSI pendant in no waste packaging that includes a card with eight very simple things you can do right now to lower your gas and electrical usage without really changing your lifestyle.

I am blown away by the thoughtfulness and ingenuity behind this amazing Pendant. How incredible to wear something that embodies so much of what I believe. I would be absolutely honored to be an ISSI Pendant wearer and spokesperson. What do you think? Do I have what it takes?

I have been taking to Phyllis, the creator of ISSI and she is so thoughtful and nice to work with. Now I know why WaterLeaf Boutique supports this wonderful company!!
