In the mood for a little weekend retail therapy? One of my favorite eco-friendly clothing companies, Ecolissa, has new spring merchandise you’ll love. And, you don’t have to break the bank… additional markdowns have just been made on their sale...

Check out the Trunk Show hosted by Philadelphia’s City Paper this Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at TLA (334 South St.) Over 50 local vendors will be in attendance - including some of Philadelphia’s hottest boutiques, designers and craftspeople. There will be an array of clothing, jewelry, house wares, cosmetics, etc. Four of the many reasons to get yourself to the Trunk show this Black Friday:

Check your local recycling program for what number plastics it recycles. (Plastic products are numbered 1-7.  Philly accepts all of them (updated 12/10).) When out to buy your next shampoo bottle or dish-soap, choose products you can toss in the recycle bin instead of the trash...

Reduce the amount of waste you create.  When purchasing products, try buying the biggest size you’ll be able to use. Typically you save $ on the larger sizes, reduce your runs to the grocery store and bulk sizes use less packaging....
