The (Organic) Jeans That Never Die!

These are my Loomstate Organic Ethos Jeans that I bought about 3 years ago, they are my most favorite organic denim eva' in the whole world and they keep falling apart on me!!! Literally, I will go out wearing them and some spot (usually the knee or ass) will suddenly rip on them - like while showing girls at a party how to do the New Orleans Pop (upside down)... or the time I dismounted someone's scooter and heard a rip... or when a giant hole appears after I take them off at the end of the day and wonder how long I walked around like that. I can't stop patching them back together! And you know what, I think that this look is in style now - check out this video, when they get to dancing in the desert sand ( at 1:15)...Mmmhmmm. Looks like my adorable mess of jeans. :)

Laundry Alternatives: The Wonder Wash!

I never use a traditional washer or dryer - yes, it's true. I wash all my clothing, sheets, towels, etc by hand and hang them up outside to dry (or over a heat source in the winter). A few years ago a neighbor let me borrow a 'washer' she said was for camping, that you could stick a 5 pound load in & then spin the crank by hand- pressure cleaning your laundry. This thing was not only bad ass, easy to use, and cleaned the ba-jeezus out of my clothes - but it uses no electricity, saves water, and builds really good arm muscle! There are several levels to sustainable living, and besides wanting to wear eco friendly clothing I also want my clothes to get clean enough so they will last longer - but don't want to waste so many resources achieving this. So I got myself a new Wonder Wash of my very own...a fabulous washer that will never need to be plugged in, can travel anywhere, saves resources and costs under $50 !!!

Holiday Shopping = Buy Organic

You've got parties to go to, gifts to give, people to impress ... or just like to dance around your fireplace in your organic undies. The holidays are already coming and this year it is not only hip to give green but it is also part of a greater shift to change the way we treat the planet we live on. When you shop for earth friendly products you are helping the lives of fairly paid workers, the health of farmers, the well being of your family and each little creature that breathes. That is some bad ass gift giving that goes full circle, so here at The Oko Box I am offering a FREE SHIPPING coupon for the whole holiday season, just type in "okobreeze" in the coupon box at checkout!


There are fantastic holiday gifts such as the Hemp Slippers pictured here (they smell so yummy), the Hemp Shopping Bag
Alpaca Arm Warmers, Clare Bare Eco Lingerie, and adorable winter hats! Don't forget the cool Autonomie Project Sneakers in organic canvas with natural rubber soles and FSC certification... & did I mention they are vegan too!
Ladies can show your eco attitude by dressing up in swank & sexy duds like the Meadow Green Tea Dress, GDG Party Glass Dress pictured here, or Gaia Conception's Kiss Me Dress. Men, you can show your stuff in the way too sexy Organic Martingala Jean and Bello Uomo button down shirt.
Happy Shopping!
