Fiber Options Naturals at The Hair Garden Salon

On Thursday June 4th, Fiber Options Naturals Victoria attended an open house at The Hair Garden Salon. The event was a part of the VBN's Member Hosted Open House series. It was an evening of networking in the intimate and gorgeous setting of The Hair Garden Salon. The Hair Garden is owned and operated by the spunky and passionate Jennifer Davies. The Salon is located in the Railyards, and is a home based business. It is an eco-friendly, ammonia free zone, where the features of 20% off Mom Makeover Mondays, and "Baby Sitter on Board" are exceptionally great for mums looking to be pampered in a kid friendly zone! We had a great time with this fellow VBN and Green Collective member. We think it is a great service that Jennifer is offering, so we decided to feature it on our blog!

$1200 Shopping Spree Winner Announced

Well - this is a little late, but we had to share the details anyways!!! On Earth Day (April 23rd) the winner of the Green Collective's Earth Day $1200 Shopping Spree, Elizabeth Peters, got carted around from store to store via a Kabuki Cab to spend her winnings! The 12 participating Green Collective stores each donated $100 to the event, making for a $1200 Shopping Spree at the 12 hippest and greenest stores Victoria has to offer! If you are not familiar with what this event was about, please check out the previous two postings!!!

Congratulations again to Elizabeth, the winner of the prize! There could not have been more of a deserving winner, as Elizabeth is a brand new mum, in search of all things eco for her new little baby! We hope Elizabeth had a wonderful time shopping with her friend and child (and the Kabuki guy too!)
