Sorry I have been gone for a bit. School is a total time sucker and in attempting to continue to live a simple life I must choose to give up some activities that I enjoy doing. Since spending time with my hubbo and sleeping will not be sacrificed (not even to school no matter how hard it tries to weasel its way in), my blogging cannot be as regular as I would like it to be. Unfortunately this will continue to be the case until I GRADUATE, which will be in DECEMBER!!!!

However, I did want to share with you an awesome find. Nordstrom is now selling Holistia Organic cotton underwear. It is so soft and comes is simple solid colors as well as some funky designs (most of which they unfortunately don’t picture on their site). The one down side is that when I was in the store I read the Ethical Fashion tag and interpreted it as Ethical labor practices. I wasn’t until I was in the middle of writing this post that I realized that it just talking about the environmental practices. So, it isn’t perfect but it is a step in the right direction, especially since cotton is the number one pesticide crop.

    I'm really surprised that Nordstrom couldn't provide me a copy of the organic certificate, however. Kohls & Macys were able to provide me theirs for their towels and sheets. I would have thought it would be a no-brainer for Nordstrom.
  • Amy,

    Thank you so much for sharing that info!!!! That is so great to hear. My tush is very appreciative.

    Hi, Nordstrom employee here. Just wanted to add that the reason the tag mentioned only the environmental practices is because we have had ethical labor agreements, including social responsibility audit requirements, with ALL our vendors for years. We don't tend to toot our own horn about this, but ethical labor practices have always been part of Nordstrom's business. Just FYI. :o]
