About Cinch
10-Day Costa Rica Spanish Immersion Vacation
Lisa Aceves started in the jewelry business about eight years ago traveling with her line around the Southwest. At that time, she was in about twelve stores in five different states making what was popular - chunky, turquoise and coral pieces that people couln't get enough of. She left the business thinking she needed a "real" job but slid right back into the jewelry business a few months ago. So far, so good.
Her current line of pieces can be described as simple, delicate and feminine....."small piece, big statement". She currently has her line at The Wedding Party Studio in Dallas, De Ma Fille Bridal boutique or Lane Knight in Ft. Worth. At the moment, she takes orders through her Facebook page and expects to have her website completed sometime in January.
Simple Green Tips
- Many water bottles for adults and babies are made from plastic that contains the toxin bisphenol A (BPA). Opt for BPA-free bottles to avoid toxins in the body and in the environment.
- Ditch disposable diapers. Disposable diapers produce at least 70 times more waste than cloth diapers and Americans trash 18 billion diapers each year. Conventional diapers are also more irritating to baby skin. Not into cloth? Some new diapers offer convenient inserts that break down in 150 days or fewer (versus years for standard disposable ones).
- Turn off water while brushing. Turning off the water between rinses can save at least two gallons in one brushing session.
- Don't trash your meds. When we flush meds down drains or send them to landfills, they make their way into rivers and even drinking water. Take unused meds to your next pharmacy visit.
- Zap phantom energy loads. 40% of the electricity used to power home electronics is consumed while they're turned off. Plug devices into power strips and switch off each night.
- Exercise outside. Gyms overload on air conditioning and most cardio & many strength training machines use electricity too.
- Use cloth napkins. Americans use an average of 2200 paper napkins per person per year. It's actually cheaper to throw cloth napkins in the wash than to buy paper ones.
- Drive efficiently. At 45 mph and above, save gas by rolling your windows up and cranking the A/C.
- Light soy candles. Make sure the wax in your candles is veggie-based and petroleum free. The oil byproducts in most candles can't hold a flame to options like soy, since they burn longer and take less of a toll on the planet!
