Eco-Friendly: ecosystem Author Journal

As a little girl, I carried a little yellow notebook around with me everywhere. I used it to write short stories, which I called them "chapter stories" at the time. Every time a story came to me, I filled the pages of that little book with my words, and always felt like a real author. Well, now there's the ecosystem Author Journal -- and while I've given up writing short stories in favor of blog posts, I'm still totally jonesing for it.

This notebook features lined paper -- a must for me, as I'm not terribly adept at writing in a straight line! The paper is 100 percent post-consumer recycled, so you're doing something great for the environment at the same time. It comes in a variety of colors, but my favorite is Grape -- a deep, dark purple that begs the attention of everyone in staring distance.

So in the act of beautifying both yourself and the planet, why not pick up the ecosystem Author Journal? They retail for $9.95-$18.95. Check out all your options at ecosystemlife.com.
