Inconvenient Bag

At The Inconvenient Bag, we believe that it's not just a bag, but it's a lifestyle. We all can do our part in making choices to live the eco-friendly lifestyle, or what we refer to as "The Inconvenient Lifestyle". Actually, reducing your own carbon footprint isn’t always inconvenient and usually saves money and energy.

The Inconvenient Bag is the bag you bring to the store, mall, market, etc. (everywhere) yourself. In other words, you inconvenience yourself by bringing your own bag for the sake of the environment so that you don’t have to use paper or plastic bags.

Chivas Skin Care is a natural skin care line focused on the benefits of goat milk and aromatherapy. As a mother-daughter team, we raise French Alpine goats on a small farm outside of Los Angeles. We use fresh milk from our goats, herbs from our garden, Fair Trade shea butter and natural essential oils to handcraft our nourishing soaps. We then hand-cut, hand-trim and hand-wrap each bar of soap. Chivas Skin Care is a labor of love!

The Original goat milk soap is an all-around people pleaser made with peppermint, lavender and citrus essential oils. Gentle enough for hands, face, and body. The Original Vegan Lip Balm is very moisturizing with high quality oils like Organic Rosehip Oil & Vitamin E. Smooth finish with a light tingle. Made with Peppermint, Citrus & Lavender essential oils. Certified vegan and 75% organic content. In addition to soaps, our line also includes goat milk cremes, goat milk bath salts, and lip balms. You can find Chivas Skin Care products in stores such as Studio at Fred Segal, select Whole Foods and Terrain, as well as online at www.chivasskincare.com

Wally One

Woolly Pockets are soft-sided nests for growing plants. They love to hang on walls and bring life to any horizontal surface in your home. Because Pockets are modular, they look great on their own and in groups, indoors and out. People love Pockets because they're flexible, easy to use, and help protect surfaces from getting wet, which makes gardening even more fun. Plants love Pockets because they're breathable, which keeps roots healthy and happy, so plants feel right at home. Woolly Pockets are handmade in the U.S.A. from recycled plastic bottles.
Wallys are the best way to vertically garden on just about any type of wall or fence, indoors or out. Like building blocks, Wallys are easy to install and totally modular and love to hang out in any combination, alone or with friends. All Wallys love a good party, and they'll even keep things quieter by absorbing sound when their Pockets are full. Lined Wallys have built-in moisture protection which helps protect floors and walls from getting wet. Unlined Wallys are available for exposed outdoor gardening when maximum drainage is desired.

The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook, by David de Rothschild, presents 77 essential skills for stopping climate change-and for living through it. But this is no ordinary "77 Things You Can Do to Save the World." The Global Warming Survival Handbook is a fun, compelling, and sly deconstruction of a survival guide, teaching us not simply how to change a light bulb, but how to change the way we live-all with a great sense of humor, a grain of salt, and real science to back it up. Think of it as the Boy Scouts Handbook crossed with World Changing: A User's Guide for the 21st Century atop the Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook.
