Product of the month - July

The Product of the Month for July is the Sarah Smith Beach Bag. A new product from Green Eyed Frog, this bag is a real winner and seems to hold almost everything! A pretty blue and white floral print design made from fair trade certified cotton. What I like about this bag is that it looks good on the beach and for shopping, you can fit loads in it and it washes up a treat. We have used it on the beach and managed to fit in two blankets, a towel, change of clothes for the little one, flask, sun cream and umbrella and there was still plenty of room...

Ditch the Plastic - Use your own Shopping Bags

Some supermarkets are encouraging customers to use cloth bags for shopping. At Green Eyed Frog we have a selection of Eco Shopping bags which will help you gain extra points if you shop at Tesco but are really handy to keep in the car, handbag or coat pocket. You can try the organic, fair trade cotton coloured string bags made in India using natural pigments or the jute every day shopper. I use the recycling bags with bamboo handles. You can fit two or three of these in the trolley and are easy to transport into the car. I also use them to take my orders to the Post Office - it just makes life easier.

Help prevent marine pollution. Turtles are mistaking upturned plastic bags for their favourite food, jellyfish, with deadly results. By reducing the amount of plastic bags you can help the environment - Say No to Plastic!
