I am headed to Costa Rica for a 10 day voluntourism trip with Hands Up Holidays! Costa Rica is ranked the highest in ‘life satisfaction’ (out of 143 countries surveyed), so it only makes sense to pack a few of the best eco-essentials when visiting this warm weather paradise. Here is the short list:

1. bracelets from Lizzie Fortunado, upcycled

2. sunglasses from Juicy Couture, the green collection made from bio-based renewable materials

3. messenger bag from Matt & Nat, vegan

4. sandals from Miss Me, vegan

5. straw fedora from Livity, organic

6. nail polish in ‘Fireglow’ from Priti NYC, non-toxic

7. sunscreen from MyChelle, non-toxic

More about my trip to come! Stay tuned… X
