In This Article:

Everyone loves a company that not only sells awesome products but also gives a heck about the environment. I mean, who doesn't love being able to rep a sweet outfit, clean your house, or enjoy a cup of tea guilt free? I know I do.

Lush Cosmetics

Lush is not only cruelty free and all natural, but they also care quite a bit about the environment. They try to minimize packaging as much as possible. They make solid shampoo, conditioner, and lotion to minimize the plastic packaging used and dumped into the ocean. But the packaging they do use is recyclable. They even offer incentives for customers to recycle: when you bring in five empty Lush containers to be recycled, you get a free product.

Patagonia

Patagonia has been setting the bar for sustainable and eco-conscious companies for a while now. They pledge one percent of sales or 10% of pre-tax profits, whichever is more, to environmental groups. They have also have an initiative called Worn Wear (wornwear.patagonia.com) that refurbishes and resells used Patagonia gear to lessen their waste. And if the garments are beyond repair, they recycle them.

Parkland Design & Manufacturing

A recent discovery of mine, and a lesser known brand than our others, Parkland is a bag and accessory company that makes their stuff from recycled water bottles. They are really high quality, simple designs that won't break the bank. They also don't use excess packaging when shipping the products. They don't arrive stuffed and in a box ten times their size; you get the product, not ten pounds of unnecessary paper.

Seventh Generation

Cleaning products aren't exactly the first things that come to mind when you think "sustainability". Most cleaning products are chemical-ridden environmental nightmares. But Seventh Generation is setting the bar for sustainability within the cleaning industry. All of their products are made from plant-based ingredients that are 100% biodegradable.

Numi Tea

Tea lovers rejoice! Numi Tea's mission is all about sustainability. They follow their products every step of the way, making sure everything is environmentally sound. They also have sustainable packaging, make regular donations to environmental groups, and track carbon emissions during the production process.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
