I Love PRANA!

Did you know that the clothes you wear often contain toxins and fluorine?  Because they are in constant contact with your body, it can leave your skin irritated and susceptible to hormone mimickers and troubling ingredients.

Look, I am not going to stop wearing all my clothes if they aren't organic (as much as our husbands would love us to, right? haha). BUT I am making a conscious effort now to choose clothing when I can that is not only quality, but made well for my body to be healthy and strong. 

Enter Prana.

This clothing is recycle, organic, fair-trade certified, fluorine free and PFOA free. Fluorine is a gas that is emitted from factories and in small amounts usually leads to nose and eye infections. There are other negative effects it has on plants and animals that can be discovered here. PFOA is a man-made chemical that is a carcinogenic material. It has the potential to be a health concern because it can stay in the environment and human body for long periods of time. Studies have found that it is present worldwide at very low levels in just about everyone's blood.  You can learn more about PFOA here.

Ok. So now that I have officially freaked you out (and myself), I want to share why I am in LOVE with these clothes!! Here are 4 reasons you NEED some Prana in your life:

1) They are super comfy, which basically dictates if I will wear an outfit 99% of the time :) Sweatpants, leggings and soft shirts are my JAM.  This clothing is so versatile; you could wear it for yoga, a hike, or any adventure you choose!

2) They are sustainable, which means there is less impact on the environment in the making of these clothes! That is super important to me! Did you know conventionally grown cotton consumes approximately 25% of the insecticides and more than 10% of the pesticides used in the world?  Organic production systems on the other hand, replenish and maintain soil fertility, reduce the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers, and build biologically diverse agriculture. You can learn more about why organic cotton matters here.

3) They are fair-trade certified.  Fair trade standards ensure that garment workers have safe working conditions, a voice in the workplace, higher earnings, and that are women are treated equally.  Now this is a cause I seriously want to stand behind! Although these rights may seem basic, they are simply not guaranteed in countries where clothing is usually produced. Learn more about the Prana Fair Trade movement here.

4) There are SO MANY choices. Like seriously. The new fall arrivals are posted, and my shopping cart is looking like I'm a contestant in Supermarket Sweep.  The clothing is available at www.prana.com and in some retail locations in cities and stores like REI.

Oh and by the way, I'm not going to leave you hanging here! I have a discount code for you boo. Your PRANA code is:
