I know it’s hard to believe; it seems like Summer just ended and the kid’s just started back to school. But it’s that time to start planning again for one of the most joyous yet stressful holidays of the year- Christmas! I have gotten better over the past few years as far as planning goes. Instead of running to Walgreens a week before Christmas to get my Christmas cards, (and print some photos to go in them) along with staying up all night to finish them, I’ve actually planned ahead and not only took photos for it (and planned out great matching outfits) but ordered some great holiday cards from Shutterfly

This year Shutterfly has some great new designs that include:

  New card design styles for 2013 – 5×7 folded tri fold & back of card designs

•   Classic: Traditional colors, iconic illustrations, aspirational sentiments, snowflakes, monogram
•    Contemporary: trend forward colors, texture and layering, water color techniques, shine, glitter, Instagram pictures are perfect for this style
•    Whimsy: humor and nostalgia meet, fun sentiments
•    Merry and Bright: all about color and having fun
•    Religious: metallic type treatments, incorporated story ideas
•    Photo Basics: multiple colors, vertical type, family name highlights

I love the classic black, white and red of this simple card. Simple yet classy (and if you weren’t able to match your outfits and coordinate as you hoped, making the picture black and white can be a life saver; and no one is the wiser!)

Take some great pictures you want to share with the family you don’t see often? I love the Merry Christmas Card banners! Not only are these great cards, but you can frame them as well for a memory keepsake.

Not only does Shutterfly have some great holiday cards, but they offer a great selection of holiday gifts as well. Last year I treated myself to the Photo Desk Organizer to use at work. I love it, and I get compliments every day on how nice it is.

They also have some great tech photo gifts like customized iPad and iPhone cases, which are great gifts for those hard-to-buy-for relatives. I love that you can customize the colors as well as multiple photos.

About Goddess Garden

Goddess Garden, a Boulder-based skincare company, was founded in 2004 by Nova Covington, entrepreneur and mom. As a new mother, Nova was inspired to create organic skincare products initially for her daughter Paige, who was allergic to chemicals in traditional bath products. Motivated to develop safe skincare solutions, Nova launched natural products using pure minerals zinc oxide and titanium dioxide as the active agents for sun protection — the highest organic content of any sunscreen on the market.

In 2009, Goddess Garden launched a line of Organic Sunscreen products that protect and nourish without harsh sunscreen chemicals. This long-lasting SPF 30 sunscreen is made with sheer minerals that reflect 97% of the sun’s harmful UV rays. Goddess Garden’s line of organic sun care products is water resistant to 40 minutes, non-greasy, absorbs quickly and nourishes sensitive skin with the highest percentage of organic ingredients available in a sunscreen—up to 94 percent!

Goddess Garden continues to innovate by recently introducing the first organic, chemical-free sunscreen in a continuous spray. Currently, Goddess Garden’s family of sun care products include adult, kids, baby and facial sunscreens.

Goddess Garden was founded with a commitment to product excellence while maintaining a low carbon footprint. The woman-owned company provides safe and effective products using environmentally sustainable business practices. Goddess Garden supports organic farmers, local schools,  and family-friendly organizations.

 

More and more you hear in the news about the harmful chemicals that we are exposing our body to on a daily basis – chemicals that can cause cancers, and many other diseases. Just because companies are too busy making a profit to worry about what they are selling us to put on our bodies. That’s why I love companies like Goddess Garden Organics  that care about what we are putting on our bodies – and on our children.
I was able to review the Lavender Mint Daily Lotion with Broad Spectrum SPF 15 which has 91% organic ingredients. The lotion is thin and smooth, and smells a bit like an Aveda product. The reason I love it?

• Made with up to 91% Certified Organic ingredients
• Powerful protection without harsh chemicals
• Sheer minerals block 97% of sun’s harmful UV rays
• Non-greasy for face and body
• Nourishes and hydrates sensitive skin
• Packed with vitamins and antioxidants
• Water-Resistant
• Reef-safe, biodegradable, vegan
• Comes in 3 great scents such as: Lavender Mint, Grapefruit Bergamot and Tangerine Lavender

Don’t just take my word for it – Try it for yourself . You will feel so much better know that you are giving your body the best.
