SAM & LANCE'S Arm Party Bundle!

I sampled SAM & LANCE'S Arm Party Bundle. I love it! This well thought out gift box features 3 pieces of complementary jewelry - Lou Stacking Ring, Milestone Bracelet and Bondi Friendship Bracelet. This dainty selection may be worn individually or layered. Each piece is shipped with an elegant wrap that doubles as storage - the wooden ring box is très chic! The collection is crafted by Canadian artisans Kind Karma, Jomami and Clara Lifestyle - all mindful brands that give back. Also noteworthy, SAM & LANCE is light on packaging. It's paper-based, there's no plastic and even the ink is vegetable based. Unboxing is a very pleasant experience. Gift, keep, share!

From my Arm Party Bundle (gold, pearls and silk) on vintage Coralie.

Canadian Biodegradable Bamboo Toothbrush Review & GIVEAWAY

Bam Brush Family 4 Pack CDN$ 23.95

Subscribe & Save 15%

Time to change your toothbrush? I just discovered a Canadian company who's mission is to make the best biodegradable bamboo toothbrush ever. For over a week now I've been using the Canadian Biodegradable Bamboo Toothbrush also known as the Bam Brush. The Bam Brush has a 100% biodegradable moso bamboo handle. Its removable bristles are high-quality hygienic nylon. The toothbrushes are packaged in simple unbleached paper sleeves. They are available in 4 colors, as shown above. One size fits all. Based in Victoria, BC this eco-friendly company makes keeping toothbrush plastic out of the environment easy and affordable by offering a Toothbrush Subscription Club. Subscribe and you will receive a new toothbrush in the mail every 1, 2 or 3 months at a savings of 15%.

The first thing I notice about my Bam Brush (above) is the easy to open, paper-based packaging. The toothbrush's bamboo handle has an organic feel in my hand. Its nylon bristles are soft and gentle on my teeth. After brushing, my teeth and mouth feel clean and fresh. The Bam Brush is attractive, light in weight and sturdy. I found it to be of very good quality. I like knowing that I'm decreasing the amount of plastic waste I contribute to the landfill. Ready to leave plastic toothbrushes behind? Dentists recommend you change your toothbrush every few months. Get yours below!
