I'm Tickled Pink to hitch a ride on Holly's coattails over at 504 Main again today. Her DIY projects are so inspiring (yet completely out of my league), and I will never forget her chicks on a stick or her hubby's birthday chandelier---two of her signature crafts that always come to mind when I think of Holly. All the crafty classes in the world could never make me into the guru she is!
But I'm back to the green (mostly) today. I'm starting off with Four Paws Doggie Doo Bags. They are biodegradable with easy-tie handles. I'm sure there are many other brands, but these are what I've currently got.
Last weekend I was Tickled Pink to find this Avalon Organics Shampoo & Conditioner at Lee's house. It's made with tea tree oil, eucalytptus, rosemary and mint and smells DELISH! It left my hair soft and shiny. As soon as I got back to KC, I went to Whole Foods and got my own. I'm loving it!
Avalon Organics' Standards:
• No sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate, or other harsh chemicals• No parabens, harsh preservatives, or grapefruit seed extract
• No synthetic fragrances or colors
• pH balanced
• 100% vegetarian ingredients and no animal testing
My girls are loving their new Burt's Bees all-natural toothpaste! They are partial to the berry flavor. And if you didn't already guess, yes, this toothpaste is PINK.
Nike Tickles me Pink because they've initiated Reuse A Shoe, a program that recycles any brand of old athletic shoes. If you are a serious
On an entirely different note, my daughters' new mid-summer do's have me Tickled Pink. Take a look and tell me I'm not just biased:
My trip to Houston last weekend was amazingly fun. I hung out with Lee, Tracie, Traci of 38 & Growing, and Leiah of A Southern Belle Trying Not to Rust. Be sure to check out Leiah's Sopapilla Cheesecake recipe here! 38Traci already blogged about our Snarkler evening in the dark it's not what you're thinking. So did Stir-Fry Tracie, read all about that and her toaster oven here. Lee even indulged me and took us to Ruggles Green, which serves raw, vegan, and vegetarian fare. Nom nom nom!
Confession: I've never really had a girls' weekend before. I'm Tickled Pink that these snarky, fantastic women put up with me, included me, and made me feel like I am fun, funny
By now you know reusable bags Tickle me Pink. Fun ones are even better. Check out these series from Envirosax. Don't they just beg you to GO GREEN?!! They hold up to 44 pounds. Don't even try to tell me your craptastic plastic can do better. Be sure to search Google for the best deals on them!
Also, I am sort of a snob about my books. I prefer them new. I loathe germs. But my desire to be green has outweighed my fear and I now shop frequently at Half Price Books. I spent $60 this week and came away with new vegetarian cookbooks, fiction for me, and several classics for the girls. All in beautiful condition, barely/gently used, and therefore saving trees and green in more ways than one!
Two last things that have me Tickled Pink: Honest Tea and Honest Kids. I love the Pearfect White Tea and my kids love the Berry Berry Good Lemonade (and it's PINK). Of course I recycle my glass tea bottles and I send the girls' juice pouches to Terracycle, so it's all good and green.
What tickles you pink?

You are too kind to me! I wish I could writ like you! THANK YOU for being a part of tickled pink...there is nothing that tickles me pink more than being green.
I love and look froward to your green posts! I learn something new every time!
You all are so lucky you got to have another snarkler - that's what I get for living in California (for now anyway).
And how could I not comment on those two little cuties - sweet little new do's and pink and green to boot!
Girl's weekend is the best most restorative thing on the planet! I go a couple of times a year. Glad you have discovered the joy. . .
You come up with so many great Green ideas!
I am so unhappy with my shampoo right now and it's been years since I walked into Whole Foods so I think it's time for a little field trip!
The girls are adorable. Wonder where they get that from?? (Cute Momma?)
Have a great weekend Erin!
Your girls are beyond adorable! Love the new dos and dresses! I think you should tell the hubby you want to go on a trip to Seattle and meet up with me while I'm home in August. ;0))
I'm fascinated by the pink organic tooth paste. What will they think of next. But if it gets kids to brush, then great.
How cool is that, you get to hang out with all your blogging friends. I'm sure you have more stories to tell.
And your girls look so cute. They're getting older each time I see them.
Wow. Those are some really cool products. Especially the toothpaste.
And your girls are sooooo cute!
And look at you and your fellow snarklers! I'm sure the snark was pouring out of your pores! Fun, fun, fun!
That was a great picture. Was is dark then?? Can't wait for our next weekend in VEGAS baby!!
The picture of girls weekend is so adorable and the girls in their pink dresses!!!! So cute!
Love the pic of your daughters.
I think I will definately have to check out the burts bees toothpaste.
Thanks for the info
As always I'm tickled pink by YOU!
I must have missed the girls haircuts before...SO cute! They almost have that 1920's wave thing going on which I adore!
I like the sound of pink toothpaste, maybe for Babe, I have to use perscription toothpaste which costs 25 bucks a tube!
Those hair cuts are adorable and so are the girls! I would be tickled pink to meet some blog friends in real life, we just haven't figured it out yet, be we talk about it on our blogs all the time.
I love new non used books too which is ironic since I used to own a used book store, but there is something about the crisp page that hasn't been touched before. But, I have gone greener in that department and now get most books at the library or at least pass along my books if I do buy them new.
The girls are adorable! Love the haircuts!
The only thing wrong with the Snarkler picture is that you aren't in it! Maybe we should have let Gary stay in Houston...
Several things came to mind as I read your post today. In random order: I wish we had a Whole Foods. Your daughters are SO cute! I am definitely checking out the Half Price books, because just today I was pondering how I can get my hands on some new books without dropping three digits (cash, not fingers) at amazon. And I'm sorta jealous...I've STILL not met any of my bloggy friends in real life. I'm glad you had fun!
tickled pink that i get to cut the grass because boy wonder is out of town at a wedding. (do you sense the bitter sarcasm??)
tickled pink that you visited me today. just what i needed! :-)
Your girls are so adorable!! And you are very inspiring with all your green stuff!! I wish we had a Whole Foods here...we only have a dinky Trader Joe's.
It looks like you ladies had so much fun! I saw some pics on Lee's blog and I was dying over how beautiful her home is!!!!
Ive got to check out that Burts Bees toothpaste since I love their stuff so much!
Your girls look so cute!
You may be biased but those girls are gorgeous in their dos! And Saturday night rocked -- I need to get copies of photos. :-)
Your green-ness is inspiring to me! I still have a LONG way to go but I am trying everyday.
I didn't know Burt's Bees had gone into toothpaste. Hmmmmm, I gotta check that out.
Your girls are adorable with the new hairdo's and the bloggy girls are all cute too! Not everyone is in the photo though, are they?
I want to try that shampoo! Seriously.
Your daughters are so so so cute!!
On used books....my budget far preceded any green-ness I may pick up in necessitating my purchase of used books. I love all things book-ish (yeah, I'm just inventing all sorts of new words for you in this comment) I love the reading of books, the feel of books, the smell of books...I love books.
Hey Erin, so glad to be back on line after being at the cottage for a week. Well you gals must have had a riot. I'm so jealous, one of these days I'm going to have to make the journey south and meet you guys.
I'm tickled pink to be back on line and blogging :)
I so wish you were going to BlogHer so I could meet you!! YOU are one of those bloggers I would love to meet IRL.
Looks like you ladies had a blast!
I am definitely getting me some of those recyclable bags!
For years now, one of my best friends has been shopping at the annual book sale in Atlanta put on by Goodwill. I know it sounds yucky, but she has the most amazing vintage collection of children's books. It's actually quite extraordinary, all these gorgeous classics she owns. I went with her last year and it is a veritable treasure trove of books.
Glad you had a blast with your girlfriends.
tickles me pink to see my favorite bloggers in the flesh...thanks for the pic!
Your daughters are adorable!
I want to try that shampoo now. I'm always looking for new shampoo because my hair is so unpredictable.
There is something so satisfying about going to a used book store and finding hidden gems!
How Fun!! You need to come to Fort Worth next time you are in TX!! Love the pics and your girls are gorgeous!! I love the "Going Green" and you truly always give me a new idea and way to "Go Green" myself! Loved the blog and I am glad to see you had a Great Trip!! XO
I love half-priced books too! Of course I can never seem to spring for something that I'll read. It's all Pinkalicious and such.
If I get into composting I'll have to check out those dog doo bags.
Fun post - I love all your tickled pink finds, but have to admit your girls' haircuts are my fav, and I'm NOT biased.
Have you see the reusable bags from BlueAvocado? I just ordered two sets for birthday gifts and they were a huge hit!!
