Good Stuff: Mellow Yellow Sexy Fringy Peace Mist

Here at Goodlifer, we like to tell you about good, eco-friendly, sustainable stuff that we come across. In this new section, I will share my favorite things right now, which can be anything from clothing to books to food to beauty products. This week I am in a sort of mellow-yellow-sexy-fringy-peace-mist-kind of mood. What in the world do I mean by that? Read on, Goodlifer, read on.

Good Stuff: Peace Cord Bracelet

Peace Cord Bracelet
The Peace Cord bracelet is hand woven in Afghanistan, using authentic military materials. A collaboration between non-profits ARZU Studio Hope and Spirit of America, these bracelets create fair-wage artisan jobs and gives hope to hundreds of Afghan women. I wear mine all the time.
$10-15, Peace Cord

Good Stuff: Water Bobble

Water Bobble
Hopefully, we are all way past buying bottled water by now. The Water Bobble has a built-in filter, great for those times when you’re out all day or traveling and don’t have access to filtered water. Just fill the BPA-free bottle up with any old tap water, it filters as you drink! You are drinking your eight glasses of water every day, right?
$8.95-12.95, Water Bobble

Good Stuff: Kahina Giving Beauty Toning Mist

Kahina Giving Beauty Toning Mist
Keep your skin looking fresh with this bioactive complex, lightly scented with Moroccan desert rose and designed to replenish moisture throughout the day, calm skin irritation, add radiance and minimize pores. It combines nourishing, anti-oxidant rich water-based argan leaf extract with natural active ingredients like aloe vera, rose flower water, alfalfa seed extract, white tea extract, aspen bark extract, and willow bark extract. I spray it on before applying Kahina Giving Beauty‘s argan oil, which I’ve been a huge fan of for quite some time now.
$36, Kahina Giving Beauty

Good Stuff: Braided Swedish Hasbeens

Braided Swedish Hasbeens
Maybe it’s because of nostalgia for the summers of my childhood, when the clogs came out as soon as the snow melted, but I am obsessed with Swedish Hasbeens. I’d wear anything they make. This summer I would love to run around town in these pretty yellow braided sky highs. (I’m a size 41, jus’ sayin.’)
$287, Swedish Hasbeens

Good Stuff: H&M Conscious Collection Crochet Shorts

Crochet Shorts
These white crochet shorts are part of H&M’s recently launched Conscious Collection — the only piece I decided to acquire. This summer, I will wear them with a DIY denim vest and clogs from Swedish Hasbeens. If you like ‘em to be tight (I do), buy one size smaller than you usually wear.
$29.95, H&M

Good Stuff: Spoonk Acupressure Mat

Spoonk Acupressure Mat
It may look scary, but the Spoonk mat is actually a great wellness tool! Made from all earth-friendly materials, it has 6,210 plastic spikes which stimulate nerve endings to increase blood circulation. Based on the ancient healing art of acupressure it helps relive muscle tension and pain, boosts energy levels, and provides a deep sense of calm and relaxation that helps us sleep better. These mats are very popular in Sweden and I’ve used one for years.
$79, Spoonk

Good Stuff: Minnetonka Cross Body Fringe Bag

Minnetonka Cross Body Fringe Shoulder Bag
We’ll be seeing a lot of Minnetonka’s fringe moccasins and boots this summer, but why not invest in one of their equally hippie chic bags instead? With three layers of fringe and a long strap, this bag will easily go from day to night, and from beach to dinner. Made from soft supple suede leather, it’ll also last you a very long time.
$49.95, Hippieshop
