Earth Day Pick - Eco barrettes that are way prettier than they might sound
I never really thought the words "eco" and "barrette" would be used in the same sentence, that is until I was introduced to the felt hair clips at Sophia Bella Mia.

At first glance, you might think they look like any other cute girl's floral barrettes, but actually, these hair clips are handcrafted from eco-fi felt, a fiber created from 100% post consumer recycled plastic bottles. Cool, right? Of course, you'd never know it thanks to beautiful saturated colors and lovely beaded details.

Add the little optional strip of velcro for your sparsely haired babe, and you'll be sure not to lose these. But considering my daughter is wearing hers almost every day, I'm betting you won't have that problem. -Kristen

Visit Sophia Bella Mia for a wonderful array of eco-friendly girls' hair barrettes.

Congratulations to lucky clip winner Jessica F!
