Put Some Green in Your St. Patty’s Party

Everyone knows that Solo® cups are the perfect party companion. Not only will they hold your beverage of choice, but you can scribble your name on the side – don’t want to confuse your cup with Aunt Jan’s! – and at the end of the party they can be quickly compiled in the trash.

WAIT!

Why are you throwing away those Solo® cups? Each year, thousands of these cups are needlessly discarded only to end up in a landfill. This St. Patrick’s Day, show Mother Earth you care by participating in the TerraCycle Solo Cup Brigade® program. It’s easy!

  1. Collect those cups in a box or bag. They don’t need to be cleaned or stacked.
  2. Sign-up for a TerraCycle account (it’s free) and then download a pre-paid shipping label.
  3. Drop your box at the nearest UPS.

That’s it! Your used Solo® cups will be recycled into fabulous, earth-friendly new products, and for each approved cup received you will be awarded two TerraCycle points. These points can be redeemed for a variety of charity gifts or a payment of $0.01 per point to Keep America Beautiful®, or the non-profit organization of your choice.

Drinking green beer never felt so good.

Terrific for Travel: the kigo flit

My vacation may still be weeks away, but it’s never too early to start packing!

I’m headed to bright and beautiful New Orleans for their annual Jazz & Heritage Festival. While I can’t wait to soak in the sweet sounds of the trombone and gorge myself on some authentic Creole cuisine, I know that 4 days of fun – including the epic journey from Boston to NOLA and back – requires nothing less than fabulous footwear. Currently topping my wish list for the trip: the kigo flit.

3 Reasons You’d Find Me in the Flit
kigo flit in purse
1. Flexibility
The minimalist design of the flit – including a super-bendable outsole – makes this a perfectly packable shoe. When you want to avoid checked bag fees but still want to bring two pairs of shoes, the flexible flit is perfect for stashing in your carry-on.

2. Fit
Built-in elastic panels give the flit a comfortable, adjustable fit. It’s exactly the kind of shoe you want to be wearing on days when you leave the hotel for breakfast and don’t come back until bedtime.

3. Fashionkigo flit
The casual but cute Mary Jane styling will look great with skirts, shorts and jeans. I also adore the contrast stitching and asymmetrical strap.

A Travel Walker for Every Trek

Planning a trip that involves a lot of walking? Make sure a shoe from the Propét Travel Walker series is in your bag. The breathable mesh upper will help your feet stay cool even after logging several miles. The elastic lace with toggle makes for easy on-off and a great, adjustable fit. And best of all, the light weight (just 5 ounces each!) and flexible nature of these shoes makes them perfect for packing.

Where will your Travel Walkers take you?Propét Travel Walker II

Disney World, Here I Come
Running from Epcot to the Magic Kingdom takes some serious staying power. The Propét Travel Walker II will keep you calm, cool, and collected as you wait in (yet another) line.

I’m Going on a Serious ShoppingPropét Travel Walker Slide Spree at Mall of America (and beyond)
If you think no vacation is complete without a little retail therapy, check out the Propét Travel Walker Slide. With the same great benefits of the traditional Travel Walker sneaker, you’ll be in and out of the dressing room in a snap with in this easy slide-on style.

Propét Travel Walker Slip-On
You’ll Find Me Playing Beach Blanket Bingo
The Propét Travel Walker Slip-On takes the comfort and durability of the traditional sneaker and gives it a slightly less athletic feel by ditching the elastic lace. We think you’ll shine from boat to boardwalk in these puppies.
