"Pink is my fav-o-rite crayon" ~ Aerosmith

Through my blue eyes, I see February as pink - a month en rose. Valentine's Day is partly to blame. But so is my birthday, which lands seven days later. Because pink was my favorite color as a girl, I wanted to eat pink things and often requested a cherry chip birthday cake with blush-tinted buttercream frosting.


With that, on this first day of February, I thought it'd be fun to highlight a few fun pink products with recycled and/or planet-friendly content. Here they are - they're pink, they're girlie and they're great for gift-giving.


Oh, la la! Fashioned from a recycled Scrabble square by Etsy artist VanityDesign, this sweeting Eiffel Tower pendant is pretty in pink and very tempting at a purchase price of just $6.95. C'est magnifique! 



Appropriately Stuffy: This 80 to 90 percent post-consumer recycled tissue paper, which comes from Sweet Organic via World of Good on eBay, is a femme and earth-friendly (or at least earth-friendlier) alternative to regular tissue paper. This pinky paper with chocolate dots is also stuffy - a quality not so desirable in friends but certainly ideal when it comes to packing presents. Stock up with a pack of four sizable sheets for just $2. 




Skulls and spice and everything nice...

...that's what little girls' hair doodads are made of, or at least this one is. An old bottle cap finds new purpose when it's filled with a pic of a love-struck skull and affixed to polka-dot ribbon the hue of watermelon-flavored Hubba Bubba chewing gum. This doohickey serves as the perfect hair accessory for young ladies with sass and style. Pick up this piece of "boom, boom, hair pow!" from Bittersweetboo at ShopHandmade.com for just $4. 

Your body, your billboard:Recycleatee.com offers designer organic t-shirts at wallet-friendly prices (in the 'hood of $20). Not only that, but these oh-so-soft summery tops are PVC-free, phthalate-free and printed with eco-friendly inks. Better still? They're made in the U.S.A. While there was much to fancy at Recyclatee, we at Ecosaurus fell for this design by Andrew Harbott - "don't talk trash" - set against a pale pink background. ~ A.F.
