Preppy Prints Protect

Sep 25, 2019

Written by Wendy Barnes

If you buy something you absolutely love, don't you remember to use it? I believe in my products for their ability to help you live a sustainable lifestyle and to avoid single-use plastics.

Are You a Conscious Consumer? Here Are Three Ways You Can Be.

Plastic pollution has poisoned our planet. If we care about our environment and wildlife, we need to make every individual effort to correct this. Yes, we care about ourselves but I cannot help but put the things that are affected by human actions by no fault of their own first. Wildlife and critical habitats are human's babies- they are directly affected by our choices and for the most part, cannot live independently of us. Continue reading

Because there are species that have no data! None! Zip!

Jun 06, 2019

Written by Wendy Barnes

Because there are species that have no data! None! Zip!
