You enter a sort of shoppers’ reverie. And the checkout line? Smooth like butter, and what’s that overhead? A banner displaying the new merchandise that will be arriving next week―you’ll have to remember that. And then a manager comes out and with a friendly smile asks if you were able to find everything you were looking for and tells you a funny little story. With an appreciative laugh, you reach out for one last impulse purchase. When it’s your turn to pay, you’re surprised at first to have spent so much-what got into you? No matter, you hand over your credit card, and are promptly offered help out with your bags.

Do you leave feeling like a deal hound, proud of your shopper savvy, already planning your next visit…or do you feel a little manipulated, spent, and suddenly uncertain that maybe you didn’t need all that after all, and now you’re going to have to go home and put it all away…if you can find the room?

What Message Should We Take Away from Why We Buy?

While Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping contains some practical advice about aging eyesight and how to make it easier for businesses to cater to the whimsies of particular demographics, it hints at, but does not adequately explain the psychological forces at work on a person. Nor does Why we Buy examine the roots behind our evolutionary drive to hunt, gather, and be on the lookout for opportunistic encounters. Perhaps a follow-up could to be written from the shoppers’ point of view:

Should We Buy?

We are privileged to live in a time in which humans are at the top-of-the food chain, but as our numbers swell, we have a shrinking base of wildlife and other natural resources to support us. Imagine what we might learn if our consumer impacts were measured with the same care and precision that has been used to observe shopper behavior for the benefit of the marketer?

For me, the striking but unintended message of this book was how competitive and sly distributors of resources needed to be for their own financial bottom line. This seems to force businesses to compete in a race to the bottom - obtaining resources for the lowest price, while paying the least for labor and externalizing as many real costs, such as environmental impacts, as possible, all while measuring profits in the margins of clever marketing and store appeal. Blogs like Earth Friendly Goodies have helped me sift through the hype while educating and informing me about healthier products. While I think Why We Buy can be a good preliminary glimpse into the world of buying, it is by no means the final word.

Dear Paco Underhill: Not Why We Buy But Should We Buy is a post from: Earth Friendly Goodies

I like the colors and the little details that go into every pair- the soft memory foam foot bed and groovy traction that leaves the unmistakable Jambu foot print. However when I went to put them on, I was thinking to myself "perhaps I've just become a shoe snob" because the cool details/textures I was just ogling over on the pads of the shoe bothered my feet a little... Since I wasn't planning to do the major sandal faux pas, that is wearing socks with my sandals, this new texture was going to take some getting used to.

I wore them right away as I do all my Jambu shoes and noticed these were going to take a little breaking in as well. It didn't take long- within a week I was over the textured sole and my feet were ready for extended hikes and walks- and although I wouldn't recommend them for heavy hiking in the back country I'd say they were perfect for walks around town, a trip to the mall or amusement park and everyday life in general. I love that the Jambu Coastline sandals are light weight, have good airflow and stay clean easily! I hate new shoes that are scuffed on your first day and look worn out after one outing- no my shoe fanatics these Jambu Coastline sandals will be a welcome pair for my spring and summer collection being versatile and functional- my favorite kinda shoes. =)

Jambu Ladybug: A Perfect Match to the Jambu Coastline

If you have a little girl who is developing her own style and loves fancy shoes too (or she adamantly knows her own style and you have very little say) you'll love the new Jambu Ladybug. If she wants to be like mommy but not necessarily your clone she will love 'em too. The Jambu Ladybug is perfect for a girl who is a little wild and crazy and active and fun.

But, you as a parent want to make sure she has the support she needs for her growing feet and not just a shoe that will be kicked off and discarded because they are pretty but not functional. The Jambu Ladybug are light weight, cute and available in pink, baby blue and green (actually pistachio if you want to get fancy). They are pretty to look at, easy to clean and they stay on nice and go on easy!!! The foot bed is also super comfy memory foam and the recycled rubber outsoles have toe and heel bumpers for extra durability. They are the perfect cute sandal for a little girl and tough enough for everyday real play with their scuff resistant toe bumpers.

As with the Jambu Coastline adult version I wouldn't recommend heavy hiking with lots of rough terrain- but for light hikes, rides with bikes, parks, zoos and everyday life they are the perfect well rounded her kinda personality fitting shoe and will no doubt last the seasons. And with any luck fit her sister too in years to come.

To up the anti on the earth friendly bath toy factor Heavea Pond bath toys are BPA free, in fact there is no PVC, phthalates and no artificial colors. If you aren't aware of BPA yet it can't be seen, tasted, smelled or felt but it is in most plastics with recycle codes 3 or 7. BPA is especially dangerous for infants and children because it effects brain development, and has been shown to mess up the thyroid and possibly even lead to leukemia, among a host of other not so pleasant bodily harms. Needless to say if you can avoid BPA in any possible way your (and your children's) body will thank you for it.

It seems Hevea Pond Bath Toys are in pretty high demand at the moment, as I sat down to write this post there were four available on Amazon, but that just dropped down to one left! Good news though is that they dropped the price a bit so if you want to grab that last set of Hevea Pond Bath Toys I hope your clicking fingers are warmed up.

Hevea Pond Bath Toys: No More Icky Black Mold is a post from: Earth Friendly Goodies

The Moshi Moshi Handset while at first glance looks like a quirky blast to the past you might pick up on a lark just to get a laugh from friends may actually be a lifesaving device. The debate about long term cell phone radiation effects has been going on for quite some time. Whether or not you believe you need to be worried about radiation damage from your cell phone is a debate for another time, I for one would rather not take the chance.

The contradiction between the seriousness of radiation and the playful retro look of the Moshi Moshi handset is a bit ironic, or perhaps a deliberate marketing attempt to get your attention about a serious issue with cell phone technology in a non threatening way. Regardless the Moshi Moshi retro handset is much more than a quirky retro gift to get attention.

Moshi Moshi Handset: Fashion Fad or Life Saving Gadget

Have you seen the photo of Orlando Bloom strutting around town with his Moshi Moshi handset? When I saw that photo I chalked the Moshi Moshi up to another celebrity endorsed earth friendly fad - I mean who wants to wear an old fashioned phone around their neck like a throw back to the full sized clock jewelry that was briefly popular in the '80's - well besides Orlando Bloom of course.
After doing a bit more research on this crazy new gadget I actually discovered it is being highly rated for the sound quality, functionality, and even to my chagrin overwhelming adoption of its retro looks. Native Union, the makers of the retro MoshiMoshi handset suggests it "combines high style with high functionality…The chic design combines classic style with modern elegance". Honestly I snorted so loudly at that I almost blew my socks through my nose. Since when is an old fashioned corded phone high style or chic?

You've got to hand it to them for their marketing prowess, but it turns out the functionality of the Moshi Moshi Handset is actually getting some much deserved attention.

Here are the overwhelming comments in favor of the Moshi Moshi Handset

• Can be cradled comfortably between shoulder and chin (remember when you used to be able to do that with your phone?
• Doesn't get hot like cellphones do. If you use your cell phone a lot this is a biggie
• Sound quality is better than other wired (and wireless) headsets or phones
• Looks and feels good in your hand - the feel is not slippery like hard plastic phones of old
• Customer support is excellent - if you need and adapter for you particular device Native Union is quick to send one out

And of course one of the crucial benefits to the Moshi Moshi Handset is that it is up to 99% free of radiation compared to direct use of your cell phone. Granted this isn't because of some magic radiation blocking technology, but simply that you aren't putting your radiation emitting cell phone right to your head. Give Native Union more points for effective marketing.

He Says: Haiku has done it again with this small yet roomy grab bag Bloom. The design is subtle yet delicious with the Haiku logo wonderfully taking its place as the center of attention inside a lovely stitched flower. That cute subtle flower motif is repeated on the top flap as well as inside the bag. Be sure to take a close look at this bag at Amazon with their super cool zoom-in feature to really get a sense of the wonderful detail in this bag. As I've said before Haiku bags are some of my favorite and this one ranks right up their with it's cute earthy ambiance.

She Says: The grab bag is a super popular style of bag these days and Haiku really gives character to a style you see all the time.

Haiku Grab Bag: Stylish with a Creative Handmade Feel is a post from: Earth Friendly Goodies

KEEN Says: Go from the office to the trailhead with the KEEN Newport Pack. Versatility is built into the pack with a laptop sleeve and hydration bladder pocket. Padded shoulder straps adjust to your preferred comfort level. Zippered pockets both inside and out allow easy access to essentials on and off the trail.

He Says: There is something about this KEEN Newport Pack Backpack that really appeals to me - perhaps it is the rich brown contrasted with the black nylon - or the fact that it looks a bit like my rolled up sleeping bag and really gives me the urge to hit the camp ground and enjoy some nice cool nights and a crackling fire while I hold my new KEEN Newport Pack to my warm chest and cuddle it tight. Umm, sorry got a bit carried away there. I tried this backpack on recently and it is a comfortable pack with the features you need for a good hike. ie.. it is hydration compatible and will hold a 15" laptop - although I don't do a lot of computing while hiking in the woods, it does make for a nice commuter backpack feature though.

She Says: The KEEN Newport Pack is more geared toward a guys style sensibilities but if you are an outdoor girl you'll love this bag, even more so if you want an earth friendly backpack to go along with your Keen Newport H2 Sandals. I may just have to get myself another pair of Newport H2 sandals to match this backpack if my hubby decides to buy one (as I was typing this up I saw a pair that matches perfectly!) I saw this backpack the other day at an outdoor gear store and it looks to be very well made, durable with plenty of room for a quick day in the woods - or even a nice school backpack if you don't want to bring all your books. Plus you'll feel good knowing KEEN is making an effort to re-use much of the rubber and aluminum left over from its shoe making endeavors to make this Newport Pack Backpack.

• Overall Dimensions: 20" x 12" x 8"
• 100% recycled aluminum components, interior liner, and molded rubber bottom
• Exterior bungee strap compression system and stash compartment
• Lightly padded 15.4" laptop sleeve
• Hydration bladder pocket with hose outlet
• Adjustable mesh and foam shoulder straps with sternum strap, breathable mesh and foam back panel, interior mesh pockets, and hidden webbing waist strap

This is an older style KEEN Newport Pack, they now have an updated KEEN Newport DP, but I still love the earthy brown color of this pack. Below we've listed the current selection of KEEN Backpacks on Amazon so you can check out what else they have for sale right now.

Earth Friendly Tid Bit: Keen’s Hybrid Transport line contains 40 percent recycled materials with a goal of reaching 100%. This Keen Newport Pack Backpack has 100% recycled aluminum components, interior liner, and molded rubber bottom. The company also uses boxes made from biodegradable materials, natural water-based latex glue and soy-based inks.

Nah, these Jambu Nomad boots are so fashionable you can wear them as Fall footwear, as well as cozy enough for those blustery Winter days soon to come. However if you like to wear a nice warm wool sock with your boots you may want to go up a half to full size as the Jambu Nomad boots fit a little snug with winter socks.

Jambu Nomad Boots - More Like a Comfortable Shoe than Clunky Boot

Perhaps since the Jambu Nomad fits more like a shoe or high boot like the Jambu Colorado Vegan it doesn't need breaking in like other winter boots, plus they are more comfortable for longer walks - the memory foam footbed is just heavenly on long walks. I was able to wear the Jambu Nomad boots for an all day trip to the Mall of America without any foot soreness. I don't know of many winter boots that can do the same.

These are by far my favorite boots as far as comfort and looks - I love the faux fur lining, the detailed stitching and laces and of course the front recycled rubber toe bumpers so I won't ruin my pretty Jambu Nomad's from salty sidewalks or slushy snow. (when the snow finally arrives). Oh, by the way the Jambu Nomad is supposed to be waterproof too so even when winter hits full swing these fashionable boots should be able to handle it. I'll have to let you know more once I've tested them out in colder weather and snowy conditions.

Two Stylish Styles for the Jambu Nomad Waterproof Boots

There are two options for the Jambu Nomad boots, a Black/Gray Waterproof Leather and a Brown/Saddle Waterproof Leather. Both have a soft suede outer and faux fur fringe. They are about 11 inches high and weigh only about a pound - that's another thing I love about these boots - they are super light compared to your usual winter boot! If you are looking for gift ideas for the fam put these boots on your list you'll love 'em! Look for upcoming sales on these Jambu Nomad boots online as the shopping season heats up.

Again I'll let you know how these super cute, furry cuddly, soft, cozy, plush boots (is it a bad idea to wear boots like slippers?) do in the snow when I find out.

If you've worn Jambu Nomad boots, or any other Jambu boots for that matter, in the Winter please leave a comment below I'd love to hear how they've held up for you.

Jambu Nomad Waterproof Boots or Super Cozy Slippers? is a post from: Earth Friendly Goodies

Having a hard time coming up with gift ideas this holiday season? If you are like me you have no idea what you want for Christmas much less what to get for the rest of your family members. Well, I figured it was a good time to take a look at eBay's World of Good for some inspirational Fair Trade items. World of Good specializes in inspiration with their huge selection of hand crafted Fair Trade gifts from all over the world.

So this year why not give a gift twice over by supporting the fine crafters around the world who contribute their skills and find a unique ethical gift for those hard to shop for family members.

Fair Trade items for Holiday Dinners: Hand Carved Bowls

First off is a lovely Olive wood with inlaid bone bowl made in Africa by Jedando Modern Handicrafts which is a collaborative of more than 100 carvers in Machakos, Kenya. I love wood grain items and this hand carved bowl is a beauty with a rich grain set off with the black and white batiked inlaid bone.

The traditional mud cloth designs of the batiked bone is created by placing wax on the white bone and dipping the bone in a dark brown/black dye, resulting in these striking patterns.

These Fair Trade Olive wood bowls are being sold by Fair World Partners founded by Christina Stimson. Take a look at the rest of their more than 180 Fair Trade items for sale including Fair Trade jewelry, purses and bags, kids toys, Christmas ornaments and more.

Fair Trade items for your tree: Hand Carved Fair Trade Christmas Ornaments

The second Fair Trade holiday gift that caught my eye were the many hand made Christmas ornaments - these here by master carver Luz Laureano are something special. Luz from the village of Cochas Peru hand tools these Christmas tree ornaments from gourds and creates the fantastic designs by burning into the gourd with eucalyptus embers. They look hand painted but are actually dyed with natural vegetable dyes that will hold their color much better than paint. Each bell shaped ornament is about 3 inches tall by 3 inches wide. For $24.95 (with free shipping) you get not one but six of these beautiful bell shaped Christmas ornaments. Compared to some of the other hand made Christmas tree ornaments this is quite the deal.

These fine Fair Trade Christmas ornaments are being sold by Sanyork Fair Trade fouded in 2001 and based out of the small town of San Juan De Lurigancho on the outskirts of Lima, Peru. A community of 63 artisans create wool woven home decor, carved gourds, pottery, musical instruments, metal wall decor, sterling jewelry, knit Alpaca apparel, cotton apparel, and bags and accessories all while passing down the tradition of hand crafted goods to the next generation.

Fair Trade items for gifts: Recycled Gift Wrap

You can't have a holly jolly Christmas without some fun gift wrap and this eco-friendly recycled gift wrap is a perfect holiday gift for yourself or anyone you know. Besides who says Fair Trade artisans have to live thousands of miles across the globe? These fun, creative and as I mentioned eco-friendly gift wrap designs are sold right here in the US by a family owned business called Sweet Organics and Naturals. Sweet Organics sells products from local artists who care about the environment and create unusual, recycled, sustainable, handmade, natural or otherwise eco-friendly goods. A few of the many items you'll enjoy are eco-jewelry, tree free & recycled greeting cards, tree free & recycled gift wrap, bags, gift tissue & biodegradable ribbon.

For example this fun eco-friendly reindeer gift wrap is produced by Earth Love’n Paper who is committed to saving trees by making their gift wrap out of 100% recycled post-consumer waste. Made from chlorine free paper with no harmful nasty bleaches these fun recycled gift wrap designs make even the trees smile (well at least the ones still growing in the forests). To top off the eco-coolness Earth Love’n Paper plants a tree for every 10 packs of recycled gift wrap sold - so buy ten and give the planet a breath of fresh air.

In looking for these 3 Fair Trade items to Feel Good About I discovered many beautiful unique creative Fair Trade gifts that I'm sure you'll enjoy too - please visit any of these fine sellers and see what they have to offer, a word of warning since these Fair Trade items are hand crafted they are in limited quantities. Have a mighty fine Fair Trade holiday from Earth Friendly Goodies.

If you are looking for some inspiration for Halloween decorations this year check out this ultimate Halloween light show in Riverside California! He has thousands of lights, four singing pumpkin faces, hand carved pumpkins, tombstones, strobe lights and flood lights all set to "This Is Halloween" from The Nightmare Before Christmas. He began this project back in 2008 with a small set-up… it has grown over the years into what you see here. Pretty amazing huh? (as an eco-friendly side note he is now using LED lights which I am sure has saved a ton of money - not to mention helped fly over geese from thinking it is still summer) Look for the ghoully ghosty running screaming from the house at 2:22.

10 Healthy Halloween Treats for Kids and a Halloween Light Show to Boot is a post from: Earth Friendly Goodies

If your little girl loves something a little flashy, cool and comfortable yet you want a good quality shoe in which they can play hard and be a kid I think you'll love these Jambu girl shoes too.

Jambu Splendor Designer Girl Shoes Features

• Very soft Contoured Memory Foam footbed
• Partially recycled non marking outsole with great traction
• Toe and heel bumpers help protect the shoe
• 100% recycled and recyclable packaging
• Very cute creative fall kids shoe - I love the fuzzy faux fur!

What We've Learned from Previous Jambu Girl Shoes

We've had several Jambu girl shoes purchased new and used and we've been very happy with how they have held up with two very active kids. Here are a few things we have noticed with our Jambu kids shoes:

• Tread still in very good condition throughout with some slight wearing after a year or more of use
• Stitching is all still intact (even around velcro strap with the shoes with velcro) - no fraying or breaking
• Toe bumper really helps save the shoe from excessive wear - the shoes look nicer longer
• We have been able to get a second (or third when we have bought used) use out of them and they still hold up great

Overall we have enjoyed our Jambu discovery. The company seems to be dedicated to creating new cute styles that not only look great but hold up in all types of use. If you are looking for cute comfortable girl shoes I think you'd be very happy with Jambu as well. And if you are looking for fall girl shoes the Jambu Splendor is a winner in my book.
