Project Blog - Week One Sponsor

by Kara Williams

Regular readers know how much I love traveling in my home state of Colorado. Well, I’ve got another fave (okay, perhaps it’s a vice). I do love my reality TV. I’ve actually weaned myself a bit from shows like The Bachelor and do you remember that old For Love or Money?

Anywho, I can’t wait for the season premiere of Bravo’s Project Runway. I’ve followed the last three seasons faithfully.

This year I get to follow along at home (sort of) since I’m competing in Reality on Bravo’s Project Blog competition. As of last count, there will be 11 of competing to win weekly prizes and immunity for the next week. We’ll have “challenge posts” each week, and someone will get eliminated (or not depending on what’s happening on Project Runway — maybe no one, maybe two of us, maybe one of us). Follow it all on Allison Boyer’s great Reality on Bravo blog. (And feel free to vote for me!)

This week’s prize sponsor is Ecoist. One of the Project Bloggers, as well as a lucky reader, will win a “Stop Global Warming” bracelet from the company.

These eco-friendly bracelets are created for recycled papers like candy wrappers and soda labels, and for every “Stop Global Warming� bracelet sold, the company will plant a tree.

Says Jonathan Marcoschamer from Ecoist, “Our objective is to merge design with social and environmental consciousness to provide stylish, functional, and durable products that people will love to own. All our products are made from recycled, organic, or earth-friendly materials, and are manufactured through our network of fair trade partnerships around the world.�

They don’t just make bracelets either. At Ecoist’s website, you can find all sorts of handmade items made from recycled products. Check out the movie billboard handbags, the recycled records bowls, the reusable shopping bags, and all of the other great products available for purchase at their site. The best part? Everything is moderately priced, so you don’t have to break your budget to grab some great gear.

Want a chance to win this week’s prize? You can enter up to three times! For one chance, leave a comment on this post on Reality on Bravo with your favorite product from Ecoist’s website (make sure to use a valid email address to win). For a second chance, blog about this contest on your own site and email the link to Allison Boyer at allison.boyer-at-yahoo-dot-com. Want a third chance? Check back on Reality on Bravo on Friday, vote for your favorite in our Project Blog competition, and leave a comment showing support! The winner will be drawn at random from all qualifying entries.
