green your air.

i was so thrilled when i found out about "green your air". this sweet company was created by two mamas who wanted to make a healthier environment for their babies. not only do they look fantastic, (they custom-made non-toxic pots...the gold chevron is to die for!) but it really is amazing how beneficial these plants can be for your air...i will for sure be buying some for baby iris' nursery!!

check them out here. xo

buy some green!
