TFG’S NATURAL-DEVOTEE AND PUBLISHER AMY SESTITO TELLS YOU HOW TO GO GREEN IN STYLE |
 |
Bonsai Redwood Forest Growing Kit I was recently a houseguest of my friend, Lisa, in the Hamptons and, for the life of me, couldn’t find a thoughtful hostess gift for her (Lisa really does have everything). Imagine my delight when I came across this Bonsai Redwood Forest Growing Kit from bgranola. The tree is a dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) and was known only as a fossil until 1946. Discovered in a rice paddy by Chinese forester Tsang Wang, it was the first living specimen found of its kind. It symbolizes the surprises still to be found in nature—and really makes a special gift. ($50, available in exotic, Zen, green and original, www.bgranola.com) |

Nordic Naturals Omega-3 Fishies Each morning, my sons take Nordic Naturals Omega-3 Fishies with their breakfast. These yummy gummies are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA and EPA, which support the development of a healthy brain and eyes. The delicious tangerine taste is a hit with my boys, and sometimes even I have a fishy or two. I chose Nordic Naturals for them, as the fish are sourced from the Norwegian Sea, Arctic Ocean and Southern Pacific Ocean, which are among the purest oceans in the world and do not have overfishing. ($34.95, www.nordicnaturals.com) |

Clif Kid Organic Twisted Fruit Ropes Now that the boys are back in school, I am constantly searching for lunch-box snacks for them that they won’t trade with their friends. The boys are crazy about Clif Kid Organic Twisted Fruit Ropes. They come in a variety of flavors and are fortified with nutrients. An added plus is that they have no added sugar (something Joseph and Brendan definitely don’t need!). These are so good that they’ll often want one for dessert. ($12 for a box of 12, www.yumyumsnacks.com) |

Coconut Body Scrub The smell of coconut makes me think of one thing: a vacation in the tropics. I don’t get away much these days, so I treat myself to a mini vacation (in an olfactory sense, anyway) when I use Coconut Body Scrub from The Body Shop. My skin is smoothed to perfection, and I love how the creamy scrub leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized throughout the day. This scrub is also special because it’s made with organic, virgin coconut oil through a fair community trade program in the Samoan Islands. I love a scrub with a conscience. ($20, www.thebodyshop.com) |
