Honestly Good
Actress Jessica Alba’s eco-friendly startup, The Honest Company, strives to help families find products that are free of toxins and good for the environment.
You can save big by having products delivered on a regular basis to your doorstep, such as a one month supply of Family Essentials or a bundle of Honest’s diapers. You can also shop for individual items, such as baby products and cleaning supplies, online. With every product purchased, Honest makes donations to their nonprofit partner, which this year is Baby2Baby.
The site’s blog has great recipes, craft and gift ideas, health tips and more. And Alba just announced on Jesse Draper’s Valley Girl Show that soon her company will be launching its new app for parents, Honest Baby. In the meantime, sign-up for a free Honest bundle here and get $20 for every friend you invite who places an order.
