50 Years of Caring for the Environment
Cypress, CA (February 14, 2017) – Earth Friendly Products, the maker of ECOS™ environmentally friendly cleaning products, is marking its 50th anniversary of providing safer, plant-powered cleaning products to people around the world. The family-owned and –operated company is celebrating this important milestone at Natural Products Expo West on March 10–12, 2017, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif. To coincide with its 50th anniversary, Earth Friendly Products will showcase its recently released ECOS™ for Pets! pet care line and feature many of its bestselling products at the show.
1967 was the year that launched Earth Friendly Products, as well as the Air Quality Act and the Environmental Defense Fund. It was the dawn of the modern environmental movement, which began in 1962 with the publication of Silent Spring, Rachel Carson’s ground-breaking book on the damaging effects of pesticides. The first Earth Day was still three years away, in 1970.
In 1967 Earth Friendly Products began its journey as a pioneer in the green cleaning industry, innovating new plant-powered cleaners that were safer for people, pets, and the planet. Today, 50 years later, the company remains dedicated to the vision of its founder: that everyone should have access to environmentally friendly cleaners that are effective and affordable.
“From the get-go, we were a family company, and family is still at the heart of everything we do,” says Kelly Vlahakis-Hanks, Earth Friendly Products’ president and CEO. “As a mother, I understand how important it is to provide a safe environment for my family. We’re proud to provide families with safer options for household cleaners. We want them to know that you don’t have to compromise your health or the health of the planet to clean your home.” Vlahakis-Hanks added, “I believe our dedication to family is why we’ve been around almost twice as long as our competitors.”
With its decades-long commitment to making safer pet care products, Earth Friendly Products recently introduced its all-new ECOS™ for Pets line. This collection includes the first-ever U.S. EPA Safer Choice–certified pet shampoos. ECOS™ for Pets Conditioning Pet Shampoos in Peppermint and Free & Clear are two of over 70 Safer Choice-certified products made by Earth Friendly Products. The Safer Choice logo tells consumers that that every ingredient in the product is the safest in its class and that it has been tested for superior performance.
Earth Friendly Products will also feature many of its other bestselling products at Natural Products Expo West, including ECOS™ laundry detergent, ECOS™ Dishmate™ dish soap and ECOS™ hand soap in a variety of fresh scents and sizes.
Natural Products Expo West is the world’s largest natural and organic products trade show. This leading convention for the natural, organic and healthy products industry attracts over 77,000 industry professionals and 3,000 exhibitors annually.

@Swapdom_com Revamps Your Wardrobe…The EASY Way!
I love thrifting. There’s nothing better than finding treasure in a thrift shop. I started thrifting when I was in college (we call it “op shopping” in Australia) and haven’t stopped. So it’s with no surprise that I’m excited about the brand new fashion site, Swapdom.
Swapdom is a new way of finding one-of-a-kind like-new items online and swapping them with other users. But Swapdom takes all the effort out of the swapping business since they organize the whole thing, so you get whatever you want in exchange for those boots or glam winter gloves you hardly ever wear.
Registering is absolutely free and all you pay are the shipping charges and a teeny service fee (which never amounts to more than $2!).
Here’s a few snaps of what’s on offer to swap right now:
What a great way to revamp your closet while getting rid of the stuff you haven’t worn for years!
Go to Swapdom.com right now to get started–you can have a new outfit for the holidays in no time!

Show Stopping Shoes @unitednude
Looking to update your shoe collection? You’re wardrobe isn’t complete without a pair of UNITED NUDE’s innovative, quirky, yet sleek designs. Each shoe is a work of art, perfectly crafted by the creators: architect Rem, and shoemaker Galahad.
Their story, is a unique one, which is no coincidence after seeing what their designs are like. This story begins with a broken heart. Rem’s attempt to get the girl back was made by downsizing architecture to its smallest and most vulnerable scale, that of a woman’s foot.
While most romantic notions are often foolish, what was hatched through the inspiration of romance was the ‘Möbius’ shoe. The girl was gone, but he knew the shoe had to become real.
Now add Galahad to our story. The seventh generation of the Clark’s shoe-making dynasty.
When Rem and Galahad first met, Galahad saw the Möbius shoe design, and he was instantly convinced that a new brand had to be formed.
Joined together, Rem and Galahad created United Nude. The name derived from the fact that products evolve from international teams in an open way with direct recognition. United Nude launched in 2003 with the ‘Möbius’ shoe. Since then, United Nude has established itself as an iconic brand at the intersection between design and fashion.
Their Spring/Summer 2012 Collection features a wide range of shoe designs for both men and women, from booties and flats, to mid and high-heeled sandals. Here are a few of my favorite picks from the collection, perfect for a show-stopping Spring Season. United Nude products are about clear concepts, elegance and innovation. Be prepared to turn heads, ladies.
