It’s Earth Day, Humpday and Springtime! Hurray!

I don’t know about your cities, but here in Portland, Ore., spring has arrived, hooray! It’s almost as if it waited for Earth Day ”which was Monday ”to settle in fully. As I type this, the birds are fluttering around outside my office window, darting past my frustrated cat on their way to the bird feeders, and the new leaves on the trees are rustling in a soft breeze. It’s SO FREAKIN GREAT. So happy Earth Day, everyone! And of course, Happy Humpday!

Hope you’re as thrilled that it’s here as we are! Our friends at Espresso Parts gave us the perfect way to celebrate our planet this week with you: some amazing earth-friendly products that are the prizes for this week’s Humpday Giveaway Contest! Check this shizz out:
