Gifting lounges seem to be one of the biggest highlights of the sundance festival. Is gifting really so eco-friendly?! Aren’t we trying to get rid of having so much stuff?? Yesterday I had the chance to visit the Ultimate Oasis: The Green Lounge, created by J.R. Savet. This event/lounge benefits Brad Pitt’s, Make It Right foundation.

The cool part about this lounge was it was in a home behind main street. I walked in and was offered a hot cup of numitea. On the main floor in the house was Shaklee, giving away some laundry products to Kristi Hume and Donaovan Leitch. Other brands represented were Hint Water, Tolaspa (whose stylists are from the Paul Mitchell school), Royal
Underground, and catered by FUD, which featured tasty food creations by organic chef Heidi VanPelt. Her presentation was really creative.

Below are some additional photos I’ve snagged from in and around Sundance. Enjoy!

The Lexus Project Greenhouse is one of the hot spots at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. The greenhouse lounge was totally happening- they were offering massages, showcasing eco furniture, giving out some fabulous drinks and supplying the Park City Water- of which I am big fan of the packaging.

One of my favorite eco-jewelry designers, Monique Pean, was showcasing her jewelry as well. Monique told me she will be traveling in the next two weeks with the Charity: Water organization. Who’s else has been here so far?

Emma Bell was spotted in the Project Greenhouse lounge chatting it up with Corrin Arasa. Bell will be co-starring in the amazing film “Death in Love”, directed by Boaz, starring Jacqueline Bissett, Josh Lucas, Adam Brody and Lucas Haas. Emma told me she really enjoyed working with everyone in the cast. I asked her what she thought of the film and she said she hadn’t seen it yet!

Also in attendance was Donovan Leitch — on the chair at PG getting a massage- along with his wife model Kristi Hume. I thought she so tall and I am 5′10”! Not short!!

More to come!
