Bamboosa review & Giveaway
7:30:00 PMA couple of weeks ago I received a package on my doorstep. It's a medium sized cardboard and when I opened the package, the inside of it looked like this:
The inside packaging is so pretty it makes my heart flutters a bit ^o^ Especially when I knew that the package is from Bamboosa! Not only did my heart fluttered but it kinda leap too! ;p
All of the packaging materials, from the shipping carton to the hangtag are from 100% recycled paper. It was wrapped in a thin paper and tied with natural rope, the outer wrapper is made from recycled paper too. It was very environmentally friendly, LOVE it!

And here's whats inside the package:
My first Eco-Fashion item!
Here's what they say about their store:
Why Bamboosa?
All of Bamboosa's clothing and baby products are made in America. The quality of our fabrics and workmanship is superior in every way. Once you've worn Bamboosa, you'll want to wear more. If not, all of our products are guaranteed. We'll pay the postage.
You know how I love featuring shops that gives back to the world and Bamboosa is no exception. You should shop at this kind of stores because the happy feeling you get when you shop will get multiplied by a dozen (or more!) because you'll feel good knowing that your money help support the many charities these stores collaborate with.
Do Good While You Shop:
At Bamboosa, one of their core principals is to give something back. They are currently collaborating with these non-profit organization:
- Change Round-Up (a fund-raising concept of the spare change donation jar)
- Healthy Child, Healthy World (children welfare)
- Oceana (to protect and restore world's oceans)
- Diligent Hands...Gracious Hearts (a ministry dedicated to serving elderly, sick and handicapped individuals of the communities)
Please pay attention to The RULES before you enter.
I will use random.org to pick the winning number. If the winner does not respond within 48hrs then I will have to choose another winner and will announce it again in my blog.
Good luck to everyone! ^__^

I did not receive any form of payment for this review and this is written based on my own honest opinion (other people opinions may vary). Bamboosa gave me the products to be reviewed but that has no impact at all on my opinion.
My first Eco-Fashion item!
Thank you so much to Mindy who has kindly sent me these lovely tank and V-neck top. I was so excited to try them because I've always been curios with bamboo clothing that's all the rage these days. So these are officially the first Eco-Fashion I've ever tried on! It feels really nice to be able to wear clothes that is friendly to the earth as well as to our body.
Why bamboo, you asked.
Well, because it's SOFT on you...and EASY on the earth! That's a perfect answer from Bamboosa. Nothing could go wrong with these soft and comfortable clothes from Bamboosa. Not only they are comfortable to wear, they're also Hygienic and protective. Bamboosa's apparel is thermal regulating, odor resistant, anti-static and will keep you cooler and drier in the heat of summer and warmer in cold temperatures. Bamboosa's fabrics also have natural UV protection! How great is that?!
Other thing that I love about Bamboosa is they only use sustainable and certified organically grown bamboo. Bamboo is a renewable resource and it's grown without using pesticides or chemical fertilizers. And at Bamboosa they choose to not use any bleach on their fabrics before dye.

Back to the clothes. I've worn them over and over again because the fabric is oh-so-soft and it feels really comfy on the body. I love the bright colors too (which doesn't fade after repeated washing), they have now became a staple in my everyday wear. You have seen above photo on my previous post, I can easily mix and match this 70/30 Tahiti Blue ribbed tank with my other clothes. This soft tanktop has a little stretch to it and it was made of blended rib fabric and free of chlorine and formaldehyde.
The purple one I got is the blended fitted V-neck. This one is made from 70% Viscose from organic bamboo and 30% cotton. I really love the comfort of wearing it, in fact i am wearing it right now! ^__^

I wore this when I was getting ready for a short weekend trip, it's so comfy to wear on a trip.
