#LVR Love Giveaway

If you have never heard of  LVR Fashion...check them out.  I ordered a Long Sleeve French Terry Wrap   I LOVE it! It is totally me!  The wrap is  50% Organic Cotton and 50% Recycled Poly.  It is a Vintage Mineral Wash...that I love! Made in the USA!

I love LVR clothing.  I think they are a wonderful company making better changes for our environment and our bodies.  Here is a great review that DeDaStudios made that includes an awesome giveaway too!  Please read below and share with your friends.  They make the most comfortable and fashionable clothing line with a mission! 

I ordered a XLarge and it fits great. I am 5'9" - wear a size 14 and working my way to a 12.  I am tall and large bone. Size 10 shoe - 8 ring size.  So whoever says yoga clothes are for petite ladies..they are wrong.

The wrap is available in 6 different colors...I ordered the Black wrap.  Black is my favorite color. I have worn it to the market and to dinner.  It is extremely versatile! I dress it up and dress it down!  It is my go to clothing item!  Organic cotton clothing feels amazing soft and cuddlie! This is going to sound crazy but I honestly feel better wearing clothing that is making our earth a better place.  I am making a difference!

Check out my Wish List items from LVR Fashion!

If you have not worn Organic Cotton...you have got to try it! Organic cotton feels fantastic! I try to purchase only

organic clothing. It is making such a difference with my skin. Why Organic Cotton?  Organic cotton has no pesticides, it is hypo-allergenic, feels softer and breaths more.  Not to mention organic farming uses 50% less energy and does not pollute our soil. Why Recycled Poly? Recycled poly is leader in being earth friendly material. Recycled poly uses 1/2 of the energy used to product, reduces the demand for oil to make new poly, and  helps keep plastic bottles and other forms of poly fibers out of landfills. 
LVR donates clothing monthly to local womens shelters.  A percent of all proceeds are given quarterly to ARCAS - a animal rescue center located in Guatemala. 

Giving is who LVR Fashion is!

Going Green Living Friday Greenscaping and Green Business

Going Green Tip this week is Greenscaping!

What is Greenscaping? Greenscaping is simple changes you can do to save time, money, and protect the environment.  It is gardening with a conscious effort to minimize water, keep things natural, and the use of no chemicals.  It is making a natural oasis that can sustain itself, mostly.   How does it save money?  When you cut out chemicals you are saving money and when you reduce your water you save on your water bill!  You can Save time by using plants that are native and require less care.  Greenscaping protects the environment by conserving water, reducing land waste, and eliminating nasty chemicals. 
Here in Arizona we have a drier climate and we get very little seasons of rain, making water concern.  We have a automatic watering system to give the plants just enough without over watering.  Here we use the natural landscape and reserve our water.  I do use water to grow my garden, but I make sure to water during the morning and evening temperatures.  This allows the plants and roots to take on the most water before the heat evaporates it. 

Steps to a Greener Healthier Yard

• Build and maintain a healthy soil- add your dried leaves, cutting, and compost back into the soil, enrich it naturally and create less waste.
• Practice smart watering- whatever during the correct time of days, do not over water, and do not allow your water to pool and run off.  Over water is a complete waste of resources and money. 
• Adopt a holistic approach to pest control- you can use pest deterrent plants and natural nontoxic solutions.
• Use natural lawn care- everything you put in your yard will affect the soil and the water.  Try to not be drawn into all those commercials on chemical lawn care. 
• Plant right for your State (site)- use native plants and reduce the demand, resources, and time that other plants demand when not native. 

Some areas may be too cold to start your garden maintenance but it's never too early to plan and make some changes to a greener yard. 

Be sure to check out some great ideas for enjoying Nature this weekend.  Here is a list of Tucson Events, some are FREE while others have a fee.  Not I Tucson, no problem!  You can check in your area for Bird watching events, Butterfly gardens, Botanical Gardens, Gardening Events, and Nature Walking, Hiking, and exploring.  Get to know your area and the Natural plant life and wildlife.  Help support those conserving and protecting it. 

Green Business Shout Out

If you have not heard of LVR than I have a treat for you!  They make fashionable, comfortable, Eco yoga clothing with limited impact on the environment! I love this company because they are very concerned with protecting the environment and the wildlife.
This Eco Friendly company also likes to give back through conservation.  In 2011 LVR partnered with ARCAS, which is an animal recue center in Guatemala.  Every month the company donates a portion of their revenue to the rescue center for rehabilitation and release of the wild animals.  Personally, I feel really good about wearing clothing that means so much more than comfort and style.  When I wear their clothing I know they are helping the environment, better for my skin, and helping to reach out and help with causes I support.

LVR Eco Company Making Yoga A Hot Fashion

I am a crunchy momma!  I love my whole foods, natural lifestyle, green living, and living stress free with yoga.  My husband jokes that I am always in my yoga gear and I tell him that it's the best clothing ever made!  I was excited to hear that LVR was going to be sending me a pair of Organic Yoga Pants to review and sponsor for our Green Earth Event.  

They sent me pair Organic Fold Over Yoga Pants- French Terry.  I fell in love with them right away.  The extra fabric that folds down over my hips is comfortable and stylish, the pants fit my legs perfectly, and then flare at the ankle.  I am a little short so I just trimmed the bottoms to fit my height.  You never notice that I shorten the pants at all.  They are absolutely comfortable and I have been practically living in them.  

While the yoga pants are stylish, comfortable, and practical, I have more to tell you about them and the company!  

 

Designed and handmade in Los Angeles, so they are made in the USA, they are produced with the highest quality with minimal impact on the environment.  No matter your style you can find bright, relaxed, vintage, and more of the styles you are looking for.  They make tops, wraps, pants, and dresses for casual and active lifestyles.  Did I mention the clothing is organic?  Why is Organic Important!

This ECO friendly company also likes to give back through conservation.  In 2011 LVR partnered with ARCAS, which is an animal rescue center in Guatemala.  Every month the company donates a portion of their revenue to the rescue center for rehabilitation and release of the wild animals.  So each purchase will be helping this cause!  You can check out their Donation Timeline here.  I love when a company cares about conservation and protecting the environment.  You can read more about their earth friendly mission on eco clothing here.  

Personally, I feel really good about wearing clothing that means so much more than comfort and style.  When I wear these pants I know they are helping the environment, better for my skin, and helping to reach out and help with causes I support.  While ARCAS helps with many animals, I want to help them with the sea turtle hatchery below.  Please take the time to watch the short video below, and be happy that this company is helping in this cause through your purchases, WIN WIN!
