Most people that I talk to are really trying to live a more eco friendly life, but more often than not; it is very difficult to actually know for sure which products are actually "green". I mean all the big brands have caught on that we want more environmentally friendly products, but rather than actually provide us with them; they deceptively label their products with "natural" and "made with organic ingredients" and so on! Weeding through what is actually "green" is time consuming and honestly, kind of a pain. Not to mention that it is also discouraging and can prevent us from doing our part. A really awesome online store that does the dirty work FOR YOU is BuyGreen.com!

Buy Green sent me a few items from their store for me to review. I received the Laptop Lunch Bento Set and Sleeve, a Buy Green Reusable Shopping Bag, and a Smencil (the world's only scented colored pencil!). The shopping bag is great! It is really large so I've actually been using it as a library books tote because I check out A LOT of books! I had never heard of Smencils before so it was such a wonderful surprise to get one! These are so unique and they really do smell heavenly! Not only that, they are also good for the environment since they use recycled items such as newspapers to make them.


The Laptop Lunch Bento Set is too AWESOME for words! Truly, every child (and parent-lol) should have one of these! Not only is it a cute way to pack a lunch, but it reduces waste by not having to use plastic baggies, foil, and plastic wrap. These sustainable lunch containers are reusable, recyclable, and dishwasher safe. Lunchboxes are lead-free and SAFE for our kids! The Bento Set has removable inner containers that can accommodate a variety of food sizes and a sealable lid on the large container. It also comes with a dip container perfect for sauces and salad dressings. The entire container closes to keep everything in place inside and it even comes with a stainless steel fork and spoon! I also received the Bento Sleeve, which comes with an ice pack to keep everything cool. However, you can also get the Laptop Lunch System, which comes with a carrying case and water bottle. And, finally I can't forget to mention that the set comes with a Laptop Lunch book filled with recipes and lunch ideas that is amazing!
