Be honest, are you as good as you could be about not using plastic bags? Might it help if you kept bags in your car that were super cute?
One of my personal goals is to get better about bringing a bag in to EVERY store I go in. We have improved with the grocery store but I still forget when I go to CVS or Macy's. |
I recently found a way to help my school while helping the environment. |
I contacted Mixed Bag Designs and they were nice enough to send me some bags to giveaway to my loyal followers!! Yea...my first giveaway!
Set #1:Grocery, drug store, 2 zippered pouches |
Set #2: department store, insulated lunch bag, make-up |
Set # 3: department store, grocery store, insulated lunch bag |
Set #4: grocery, department store, drug store |
Set # 5: grocery, department store, drug store |
Check out their website to see the amazing assortment of products and designs they carry. Need a new laptop, ipad, or iphone case? Have a thing for camo, leopard, zebra, damask, floral? There is something for everyone!
