If you’ve been reading Tasty Yummies for sometime, you know that my passion for living well, extends past the yummy foods I choose to nourish my body with. I try to evaluate all areas of my life for ways that I can be living more mindfully and more consciously.
I can admit that even with all my work and attention in this area, I am far from perfect and as I am sure most of you feel, there is much room for improvement. I choose to look at all of it as an ongoing, ever evolving practice and I try to take small simple steps while enjoying every bit of the journey.
For me, choosing household and lifestyle products that support my healthy way of living is just as important to me as each and every one of the ingredients that go into my dishes. Why should what I cook that food on, clean my home with, what I eat off of and drink out of, what my food is stored into, be treated any differently than the food I am consuming? To me, with this realization has come lots of changes – some small and simple, many very large and cumbersome. It’s a hard way to navigate and it’s hard to know where to even start.
I am so happy that there are so many incredible companies, large and small, creating beautiful eco-friendly non-toxic products that support my choices. Finding all of these amazing, mindful companies can be where the real challenges lie. When Wild Mint contacted me about working together to introduce their brand to my readers, I instantly knew that they would be a perfect fit and I immediately began perusing their beautiful online store that is filled with exactly the products that I am always on the look out for.

Wild Mint Eco-Friendly Giveaways and other goodness…
Today I am super excited to be giving away some lovely products from the fine folks at Wild Mint to bring some of this eco-friendly goodness to two lucky Tasty Yummies readers.
One winner will receive:
Anchor Hocking glass food storage set
and a second winner will receive:
22 ounce glass Lifefactory bottle in midnight blue
I myself have a few Lifefactory water bottles and they are by far and away, my favorite water bottles. I love that because they are glass, I dont have to worry about any strange toxins leaching into my drinks and there are no weird tastes permeating my water, from previous beverages. I carry mine filled with ice cold water wherever I go and oftentimes I even find myself filling it with a fresh made juice or smoothie, to take on the go, since I don’t have to worry that the next time I drink water from it, it will taste like carrots or ginger. With the protective silicon sleeve on the bottle, these beautiful bottles aren’t nearly as fragile as what you would imagine them to be, I have dropped mine and knocked them over and I haven’t broken one, yet!
The Anchor Hooking TrueSeal glass storage containers are an amazing addition to any kitchen, you can bake, heat up, and store food all in the same containers! Store food in the glass containers in the refrigerator with the lid on and when you are ready to reheat, take the lid off, pop it into the oven to bake, you can even serve right in the container. Any leftovers that remain can get the lid put back on and go right back into the fridge. So easy, totally safe and non-toxic.

I love the glass water bottles and reusable bags for sandwiches and such, on the Wild Mint site…Great company helping the earth.
Besides being eco-friendly, I LOVE that they’ve taken design into consideration! Lovely aesthetics.
The Wild Mint website has a large variety of items for healthy living. I’m especially interested in the candles & the non-plastic food storage containers.
I love that Wild Mint allows you to shop by items made in the USA — what a great feature to support “local” businesses!

They have some awesome stuff at their site. Thank you for sharing them with your readers.
i like that you can see what is made in the usa–so clever! ive never seen that before
The Wild Mint website shows a wide spectrum of products for any situation. If you don’t see it, it doesn’t exist. I was impressed
I love that in addition to their great product selection, the Wild Mint website also includes recipes! That makes me want to go to the site even when I don’t necessarily need to go shopping.
I love your website and do not have any complaints or suggestions at this time.
Just found your site..super excited to check it out!
Wow, Wild Mint has more categories of products than I expected!
Wow! What an exhaustive site- they pretty much have everything! I love all the kids/baby items as those can be hard to find, especially in one place. I’d live to see a way to search only vegan items. Thanks!
What an incredible website! I’m in love with everything, thanks for sharing!
What a lovely, easy to navigate web site. Love the glass storage containers, the Duralux Picardie tumblers, and the glass salad dressing bottle. Many things to consider!
I love their site and all of the great products they offer! And winning a water bottle would be awesome!
I love those glass water bottles! Need a new bottle and these are pretty! Looks like they have great products–love all of it!
The visual appeal of the site immediately catches your eye. Makes you want to linger a bit longer 🙂
After reading (another) article about the dangers of plastics, I have begun to slowly make the switch with my food storage containers. I would LOVE to win these great products. Thanks for introducing me to this great company.
Thanks for sharing this great site. Love their products!
I love the idea of using glass water bottles, for all of the reasons you mentioned, but was leery about getting one because of the fear of breakage. I was happy to hear that the silicon sleeve is effective. I’ll need to get one now.
Love the recipes!
I didn’t know that Dr. Bronner’s made hand soaps. Definitely need to try those.
I don’t have either of these products but would love to win one of them! I really like the look of the water bottle plus I need some eco-friendly food storage kits. I had a couple and let people borrow them and never got them back!! Lesson learned!
I love eco-friendly products like this! Who wants chemicals leaching into their food; not this girl!
Lovely product selection of great Eco options and beautiful design to make it enjoyable to browse!
Thanks for sharing this site! I may have to invest in some reusable sandwich bags…
I love containers!
I would love to get these products in my store (I am a grocery manager at a local health food store). I think all of your products are wonderful!!
I love that the water bottles come with a wide mouth or a straw. I hate sucking out of water bottles and being able to use it like a normal cup is nice.
I love all the food containers!
I love that the Wild Mint Sop (website) has a few recipes for natural home remedies . . . and wish there were more. I also think your photographer did an excellent job with the recipe pics!
I love all the green cleaning options they offer! Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Small changes to the everyday items we use can make a big diffence. Wikd Mint can certainly help us do that.
Wild Mint seems cool although I felt like it was focused on women so I didn’t stay long on the site…
Jon,
My name is Hannah, and I’m actually the CEO and co-founder of WildMintShop.com! I’m doing the giveaway with Beth over at Tasty-Yummies and I was reading through the comments to help get insight on our site (I love reading feedback). I saw your comment and am so glad you said something! Do you have any suggestions for me on how I can try to make our site with a little less of a female-oriented feel? I think you make a great point.
Thanks!
Hannah
I love that Wild Mint focuses on natural and eco-friendly products… two thumbs up from me 🙂
I am interested in the natural moisturizers.
I love the huge selection, especially with baby and kids’ stuff!
love all the tips and recipes on the site, learned quite a bit browsing!
I’ve been trying to slowly switch as many things as possible to reusable, this would totally help!
I have been slowly making the switch to glass for years. The big push for switching to more was that my husband wanted to be able to heat up his lunch in the same container that he took it to work in, and microwaving plasticware is a HUGE no-no in my book. Surprisingly, he got on board with no fuss, and always reaches for the glass containers now. A month or so ago I sat down and talked with him about getting rid of a lot of our plasticware and he actually stated that he would like to switch to all glassware over the course of time, he was sick of that plastic ****. I was happily shocked! We did a massive plasticware purge and I am still buying my glassware a couple pieces at a time when I can afford it. TJMaxx, Big Lots, and Kohls coupons make it affordable to switch over slowly.
I love these containers! My SIL has them and I love how easily they open and close!
Love the kid’s lunch boxes!
I love the amount of reusable lunch gear that Wild Mint offers
Love the tips on how to live a more natural life!
Those look amazing!
I made a drastic change in the way I eat two years ago. I’ve been working on making the other areas of my life more ecofriendly. The are gorgeous products.
i LOVE that you have so many cold/flu remedies – especially this time of year!
What a great site! I love all the ideas in the lunchbag section. I’m trying to decrease the amount of plastic in my life, and this helps a LOT!
I can’t wait to fill my kitchen with all of your products!!! Goodbye plastic!!!
