NOTE: Day 120 of 365

Day 120

Chapter 4

Hi everyone,

Wow April has been an incredible journey and if it's any indication of what's to come, I say "bring it on!".At the beginning of the month I attended the launch of the darling brand 27Pinkx at the utterly fabulous Saxon Hotel in Johannesburg. This cruelty free brand is all about make up storage, make up and all things pink! 

And in terms of super exciting news, about two weeks ago I found out I had made it to the next round of Miss Earth South Africa and have qualified as a semi-finalist in the programme. I'm so excited to start my journey as an environmental advocate and help spread the Miss Earth LOVE!

I spent the Easter weekend in Zambia and you can read more about that here - it really was a great trip (as usual!).

And some more exciting news: I won  Greenpop's blogger competition of 'Who Wants To Be a Tree-illoniare' as the blogger who managed to raise the most trees! A huge THANK YOU to everyone that supported me and donated to the awesome "Trees for Zambia" cause! You rock! I'm so excited to be heading up to Livingstone at the end of June as I've never been there before and I'll get to plant trees; paint murals; educate kids and make lots of new friends - plus I'll get to go see The Victoria Falls which I'm totally freaking out with excitement about! Please join if you can! You can read more about "Trees for Zambia" here 

I started these "Day xx of 365" posts as a way of looking back on what's been accomplished in the month and as a way of my readers reflecting on whether they are sticking to their 2014 resolutions or not- so I'd love to know how April was for you? Anything exciting happen? Did you manage to challenge yourself and go for one of your goals? 

Looking forward to hearing from you!

GREENPOP: Who Wants To Be a Tree-llionaire?

Trees For Zambia: Part 1

Hello my eco bunnies,

Boy oh boy am I excited to write this post! 2 weeks ago I was contacted by Greenpop to take part in a really cool competition. Until the 18th of April, I will be competing against other Joburg bloggers to see who can raise the most trees for Greenpop's project called Trees For Zambia.

So what is Trees For Zambia all about? It's Greenpop's way of combating against the vast amount of deforestation that takes place in Zambia. So many of the trees are cut down for charcoal and many trees are cut down because of bad land management, burning farming methods and poorly maintained logging. Often when I'm driving from Lusaka through the escarpment down to the Zambezi River there are locals selling charcoal all alongside the road, sometimes every 500m! Think how many trees are being chopped down for that!

I wanted to take part in this project because Zambia has a very big place in my heart! Here are some of my posts about my trips to Zambia.  I've always wanted to volunteer for Trees For Zambia but I either went to Zambia one month before the event or one month after, but if I win this competition I get to go with as a media partner!

Trees for Zambia is pretty cool as it's a huge festival where local and international volunteers all meet up in Livingstone, Zambia to plant 3500 trees in 3 weeks! 

So how can you help me and buy some trees? You can head over to my profile page on GivenGain and click on my Who Wants To Be a Tree-llionaire project, a few clicks and Voilà! You've just bought a tree! A R100 well spent!

Greenpop will even send you the GPS co-ordinates of the tree so you can see where it's been planted and even visit it one day!

Apart from helping the environment, another bonus of buying a tree from me is that you will be entered into a draw to win a stay at Umlani Lodge! How cool is that?

“The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is now.” -Anonymous

Please help me plant some beautiful trees in Zambia!

REVIEW: Zoya Nail Polish

Zoya, Natural Nail Polish

Zoya, a natural nail polish brand that I have just fallen in love with! Created by a loving husband who wanted to protect his pregnant wife from the toxins in nail polishes, Zoya was created in 1986. 

I love nail polishes! But, many of them contain toxins that can seep into your nail bed and into your system, the thought always scares me! So imagine my delight when I found a nail brand that was not only 3-Free (as in Formaldehyde, Toulene and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) free) but was 5-Free, so it also excludes Formaldehyde Resin and Camphor! Zoya was actually the first nail brand that was 3-Free!

I had first noticed Zoya after one of my Glam and Green icons, Indie Lee, had tweeted a bit about them - I knew I had to get my hands on some of their polishes!

I was delighted to meet up with Ruvi, one of the reps for Zoya last year and imagine my surprise when I saw ALL the different colours

I got to try some of their summer collection "Beach and Surf" which I featured in my Glam and Green Gift Guide - I couldn't decide what colour I liked so I tried them all ;)

Zoya really has every colour you could think of and is such a fantastic brand! I managed to try out a few colours and bought some gorgeous ones so have a look out for when I post those reviews, I also tried the 18k Gold Top Coat!

To spread the Zoya love - Im giving away a stunning colour called 'Morgan' to a lucky reader!

GOOD LUCK!

2013: Happy New Year

Resolutions for 2013

 

 

 

*HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE*

 

I hope 2013 has already started off well for you? Got the positive vibes flowing?

I'm so ready for this year and cant wait to take each opportunity thrown my way to make it one of the best years!

 

 

 

 

 

What are your goals for this year? I feel that sometimes it's better to have only a few goals each year as it makes it easier to focus on achieving them - how about you?

 

 

Here are a few of The Glam Green Girl's goals for 2013:

 

 

- Focus on my health: this includes eating better and exercising more

 

- Random acts of kindness: I want to give back to others more. Even if I can only give them a smile, sometimes that's all that a person needs to have a better day

 

- Clean out my beauty cabinet: It's always good to sort out your beauty products as many times they expire without you knowing - this gives you a chance to try some eco-friendly products

 

- To be the best I can be: to be great at work; a great friend; a great daughter; a great sister; a great person ~ each of us have it in us to be the very best

 

- To be HAPPY: as simple as that

 

 

 

Comment below with your goals for 2013 and you could win a prize!

 

Hope everyone has a Glam and Green 2013 <3

 

 

 

Please note: competition closes 24 January 2013 - winner will be announced on Facebook and twitter on the 25th of January 2013

Only open to South African residents

REVIEW: Baobab Oil & A Chance To Win

Baobab Oil : Review and Competition

 

 

From my Zambian posts (August trip & September trip), I'm a huge fan of the Baobab Tree - such a beautiful and majestic tree!

 

Well now I have a peace of the beautiful tree at home in the form of organic baobab oil!

 

 

 

I didn't really know much about baobab oil so I was excited when I received some so I could learn more about it.

 

Here's what its all about:

 

Baobab Oil is known for:                                                    Baobab Oil Contains:

- skin softening                                                                   - Vitamin D

- skin restructuring                                                              - Palmitic Acid

-quick absorption                                                                - Oleic Acid

-improvement of skin elasticity                                            - Linoleic Acid

- regeneration of cells                                                         - Omega 3,6 & 9

- fatty acids in the oil make skin healthier                           - fatty acids

- moisturising for your skin and hair

 

Baobab Oil can be used as a mosituriser and it can also be added to your bath; your hair conditioner; facial creams and body lotions.

During my latest trip to Zambia I was devoured by mosquitoes and I have a terrible habit of scratching the mozzie bites open without even realising it (gross I know) so I had little sores all over my feet (even more gross, I know) that weren't healing. For the past 10 days Ive been applying the baobab oil to my feet every night and I can definitely see an improvement! Sorry I wanted to post photos but I just couldnt (a weird phobia when it comes to my feet). I loved that this oil is absorbed quickly by your skin, by the time I get into bed it doesnt leave an oily mess.

 

Sounds like a winner right? Well, here's your chance to win as well!!!

 

Giveaway time…

featuring The Glam Green Girl and Eco Products

 

 

5, yes 5! readers will have a chance to win a 50ml Baobab Oil from Eco Products!
