Happy Earth Day!

So what are you doing to mark this day? Are you considering to start recycling things around your household like tin cans and glass bottles instead of just putting them directly into the trash? Perhaps you're thinking of starting to use reusable shopping bags instead of plastic bags every time you do your grocery shopping? Or maybe you're already doing those and other things to help the environment. If you haven't yet- you can start today, tomorrow, or whenever... because everyday can be Earth Day!

Today, Hip Mama's Place is featuring Nubius Organics, an online organic and natural products store that exists to raise awareness of environmental issues offering eco-friendly (and stylish!) products for your home and for your entire family. Their store slogan, "Blending Style With Sustainability" says it all- they offer stylish products that not only help better the environment- they also encourage 'green living' for everyone.

From famous eco-friendly brands like Fleurville, Sigg, Kate Quinn Organics, Gecko, and many others, Nubius Organics is a one-stop shopping place for all things natural and organic. Here are my top picks from this earth-friendly store:


1. Mimi the Sardine Lunch Bag- both functional and fashionable for adults and adorable for kids (or visa versa!), this lunch bag is roomy, durable and machine washable. It's water and stain resistant too! I especially love the "Chicks" design on these bags. Comes in ten lively, trendy designs; $19.50 each.


2. Green to Grow BPA-Free Baby Bottle- baby bottles that are made from PES plastic and are free of phthalates and free of bisphenol A – a suspected hormone-disrupting chemical used in polycarbonate plastic, from which most baby bottles are made. These baby bottles are in 100% recycled packaging, tested for safety, and are dishwasher safe. They come in 5 0z and 10 oz size bottles, from $7.49 to $10.49 each.


3. SIGG reusable water bottles- super stylish, eco-friendly, ultra-durable and unlike many plastics, won't leach toxins into your drink. These are lightweight, seamless aluminum bottles crafted with extreme precision to last a lifetime. SIGG bottles come in adult and kid designs, from $15.99 each.




4. Under The Nile Veggie Crate- these darling veggie toys are stuffed with 100% organic cotton- a great way to introduce your baby to veggies at playtime. The Vegetable Crate comes with four cheery veggies (Carrot, Green Beans, Mushroom and Tomato) and can be purchased invidually through Nubius Organics. $24.50 set of 4 veggies with the crate.


5. Speesees Colorful Animal Bib- The buttery softness of the animal speesees bib is adorable and fun to wear at mealtimes. They are made of 100% organic interlock & terry cotton. Comes in four colorful colors and animal designs, $15.99 each.
